    • Existence and Uniqueness of Some Cauchy Type Problems in Fractional q-Difference Calculus 

      Shaimardan, S.; Persson, Lars Erik; Tokmagambetov, N.S. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2020)
      In this paper we derive a sufficient condition for the existence of a unique solution of a Cauchy type q-fractional problem (involving the fractional q-derivative of Riemann-Liouville type) for some nonlinear differential equations. The key technique is to first prove that this Cauchy type q-fractional problem is equivalent to a corresponding Volterra q-integral equation. Moreover, we define the ...

    • 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 ...

We identify specific requirements for a user-friendly MES interface to develop (and test) an approach for technical assistance and introduce a chatbot with a prediction system as an interface layer ...
    • Asymptotics of fundamental solutions for time fractional equations with convolution kernels 

      Kondratiev, Yuri; Piatnitski, Andrey; Zhizhina, Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-11)
      The paper deals with the large time asymptotic of the fundamental solution for a time fractional evolution equation with a convolution type operator. In this equation we use a Caputo time derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1), and assume that the convolution kernel of the spatial operator is symmetric, integrable and shows a super-exponential decay at infinity. Under these assumptions we describe the ...

      Smart phones and sensor technology represent a key part of everyday life and are being used in areas such as safety, training, healthcare and others. Utilizing an array of internal sensors and a metal detector requires an evaluation of the precision of the measurements and performance reviews. Metal detectors are versatile, with uses in healthcare as well as recreational, but a common issue often ...
    • Finite element application of ERBS extraction 

      Kravetc, Tatiana; Dalmo, Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-24)
      In this paper we explore ERBS extraction in application to a heat conduction problem.Two types of basis functions are considered: B-spline and expo-rational B-spline (ERBS)combined with Bernstein polynomials. The first one is a global basis defined on a subdomain whose size is related to the spline degree, while the second one is a strictlylocal basis under the local geometry. While all the coefficients ...

      Brustad, Tanita Fossli; Pedersen, Aleksander; Bang, Børre (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-02)
      Winter road assessment is a research field with considerable progress over the last 10 years. Various sensors and methods have been tested and analysed, often in a laboratory setting, in order to come up with robust and valid assessment tools that can be used to warn the driver, road users in general, and maintenance personnel of critical conditions. In this paper we compare the field measurements ...
    • 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 ...
    • Exploring benefits of using blending splines as transition curves 

      Brustad, Tanita Fossli; Dalmo, Rune (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-06-19)
      Track geometry is a fundamental subject in railway construction. With the demand for increased capacity in terms of load and speed, the need for suitable transitions between consecutive track sections is highly relevant. Properly constructed transition curves lead to improved travel comfort, increased safety, and reduced wear. The well known clothoid curve is widely used as a transition curve; ...
    • A study on hybrid sensor technology in winter road assessment 

      Pedersen, Aleksander; Brustad, Tanita Fossli (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-23)
      Road conditions during the winter months in Nordic countries can be highly unstable. Slippery roads combined with heavy haul traffic and ordinary road users can create dangerous, even lethal, situations if road maintenance is unsuccessful. Accidents and critical road conditions may lead to blocked roads, putting strain on a limited number of main roads in many regions, and may in the worst case ...

    • Preliminary studies on transition curve geometry: Reality and virtual reality 

      Brustad, Tanita Fossli (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-01)
      The topic of transition curves is well known in track and road engineering. Over the years the need for easement between straight and curved sections in railway and road design has grown, with an important reason being increase in vehicle speed. Testing of transitions is often done with graph analysis where the property of lateral change of acceleration is compared between varieties of curves. ...
