• Local refinement of ERBS curves 

      Dalmo, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Chapter, 2013-12-31)
      Expo-rational B-splines (ERBS) provide a blending type construction where local functions at each knot are blended together by infinitely smooth basis functions. In this work we consider some specific ERBS curves that are approximations of parametric curves. We study local refinement to increase flexibility by inserting local control curves at points of interest on the ERBS curve. Inserting knots ...
    • Mapping Marine Macroalgae along the Norwegian Coast Using Hyperspectral UAV Imaging and Convolutional Nets for Semantic Segmentation

    • Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning for Structured Symbolic Music Generation 

      Dadman, Shayan; Bremdal, Bernt Arild (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2023-07-12)
      Generating structured music using deep learning methods with symbolic representation is challenging due to the complex relationships between musical elements that define a musical composition. Symbolic representation of music, such as MIDI or sheet music, can help overcome some of these challenges by encoding the music in a format that allows manipulation and analysis. However, the symbolic ...
    • Multi-source data collection for state-of-the-art data analysis from ground-proximate images in sea ice classification 

      Woltmann, Lucas; Dalmo, Rune; Kristiansen, Raymond (Konferansebidrag; Conference object, 2017-08-08)
      In modern data analysis it is imperative to use well maintained data sources with curated content. This publication gives an approach for research areas, where there is no such central facility. The specific area used here is sea ice classification from images. The publication is split into two parts. The first part describes the integration of discontinuous sources for different aspects of data ...

      Fabelurin, Olanrewaju O; Oguntuase, J. A.; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      A new Jensen inequality for multivariate superquadratic functions is derived and proved. The derived Jensen inequality is then employed to obtain the general Hardy-type integral inequality for superquadratic and subquadratic functions of several variables.
    • A New Development of the Classical Single Ladder Problem via Converting the Ladder to a Staircase 

      Høibakk, Ralph; Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-08)
      Our purpose is to shed some new light on problems arising from a study of the classical Single Ladder Problem (SLP). The basic idea is to convert the SLP to a corresponding Single Staircase Problem. The main result (Theorem 1) shows that this idea works fine and new results can be obtained by just calculating rational solutions of an algebraic equation. Some examples of such concrete calculations ...

      Kalybay, Aigerim; Persson, Lars Erik; Temirkhanova, Ainur (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015-10-06)
      A new discrete Hardy-type inequality with kernels and monotone functions is proved for the case 1<q<p<∞1<q<p<∞. This result is discussed in a general framework and some applications related to Hölder’s summation method are pointed out.
    • A NEW GENERALIZATION OF BOAS THEOREM FOR SOME LORENTZ SPACES Λq(ω) 

      Kopezhanova, Aigerim; Nursultanov, Erlan; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Let Λq( ω ), q > 0, denote the Lorentz space equipped with the (quasi) norm [<i>MATHEMATICAL FORMULA</I>] for a function f on [0,1] and with ω positive and equipped with some additional growth properties. A generalization of Boas theorem in the form of a two-sided inequality is obtained in the case of both general regular system [<i>MATHEMATICAL FORMULA</I>] and generalized Lorentz Λq( ω ) spaces
    • A new look at classical inequalities involving Banach lattice norms 

      Nikolova, Ludmila; Persson, Lars Erik; Varosanec, Sanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-12-08)
      Some classical inequalities are known also in a more general form of Banach lattice norms and/or in continuous forms (i.e., for ‘continuous’ many functions are involved instead of finite many as in the classical situation). The main aim of this paper is to initiate a more consequent study of classical inequalities in this more general frame. We already here contribute by discussing some results of ...
    • A note on contributions concerning nonseparable spaces with respect to signal processing within Bayesian frameworks 

      Samko, Natasha Gabatsuyevna; Singh, Harpal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-17)
      In this paper, we discuss the study of some signal processing problems within Bayesian frameworks and semigroups theory, in the case where the Banach space under consideration may be nonseparable. For applications, the suggested approach may be of interest in situations where approximation in the norm of the space is not possible. We describe the idea for the case of the abstract Cauchy problem ...
    • A note on the best constants in some hardy inequalities 

      Persson, Lars Erik; Samko, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Abstract. The sharp constants in Hardy type inequalities are known only in a few cases. In this paper we discuss some situations when such sharp constants are known, but also some new sharp constants are derived both in one-dimensional and multi-dimensional cases.
    • A note on the maximal operators of Vilenkin-Nörlund means with non-increasing coefficients 

      Memić, Nacima; Persson, Lars Erik; Tephnadze, George; Kroo, A (Peer reviewed; Journal article; Tidsskriftsartikkel, 2016)
      In [14] we investigated some Vilenkin—Nörlund means with non-increasing coefficients. In particular, it was proved that under some special conditions the maximal operators of such summabily methods are bounded from the Hardy space H1/(1+α) to the space weak-L1/(1+α), (0 < α ≦ 1). In this paper we construct a martingale in the space H1/(1+α), which satisfies the conditions considered in [14], and so ...

    • Numerical simulation of the dynamic response in pulse-loaded fibre–metal-laminated plates 

      Nwankwo, Ebuka; Fallah, Arash Soleiman; Moatamedi, Mojtaba; Louca, Luke A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-07-27)
      This article presents a three-dimensional constitutive model to replicate the dynamic response of blast-loaded fibre–metal laminates made of 2024-0 aluminium alloy and woven composite (glass fibre–reinforced polypropylene). Simulation of the dynamic response is challenging when extreme localised loads are of concern and requires reliable material constitutive models as well as accurate modelling ...
    • On a New Class of Hardy-type Inequalities 

      Adeleke, EO; Cizmesija, Aleksandra; Oguntuase, JA; Persson, Lars Erik; Pokaz, D (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012-11-05)
      In this paper, we generalize a Hardy-type inequality to the class of arbitrary non-negative functions bounded from below and above with a convex function multiplied with positive real constants. This enables us to obtain new generalizations of the classical integral Hardy, Hardy-Hilbert, Hardy-Littlewood-Pólya, and Pólya-Knopp inequalities as well as of Godunova’s and of some recently obtained ...
    • On geometric construction of some power means 

      Høibakk, Ralph; Lukkassen, Dag; Persson, Lars Erik; Meidell, Annette (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-27)
      In the homogenization theory, there are many examples where the effective conductivities of composite structures are power means of the local conductivities. The main aim of this paper is to initiate research concerning geometric construction of some power means of three or more variables. We contribute by giving methods for the geometric construction of the harmonic mean $ P_{-1} $ and the arithmetic ...
    • On heat conduction in domains containing noncoaxial cylinders 

      Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012)
      We consider heat conduction in domains containing noncoaxial cylinders. In particular, we present some regularity results for the solution and consider criteria which ensure the single valueness of the corresponding complex potential. Examples are discussed. In addition, we present some classes of cases where the parameters describing the solution are rational. Alternative ways of calculating the ...
