      Høibakk, Ralph; Lukkassen, Dag; Meidell, Annette; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-14)
      The main aim of this paper is to contribute to the recently initiated research concerning geometric constructions of means, where the variables are appearing as line segments. The present study shows that all Lehmer means of two variables for integer power k and for k = m 2 , where m is an integer, can be geometrically constructed, that Lehmer means for power k = 0,1 and 2 can be geometrically ...
    • 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
    • Two-sided estimates of the Lebesgue constants with respect to Vilenkin systems and applications 

      Blahota, Istvan; Persson, Lars Erik; Tephnadze, G (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-03-13)
      In this paper, we derive two-sided estimates of the Lebesgue constants for bounded Vilenkin systems, we also present some applications of importance, e.g., we obtain a characterization for the boundedness of a subsequence of partial sums with respect to Vilenkin–Fourier series of H 1 martingales in terms of n's variation. The conditions given in this paper are in a sense necessary and sufficient.
    • Some inequalities for Cesàro means of double Vilenkin-Fourier series 

      Tephnadze, G; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-12-19)
      In this paper, we state and prove some new inequalities related to the rate of Lp approximation by Cesàro means of the quadratic partial sums of double Vilenkin–Fourier series of functions from Lp.

    • Detection and prediction of falls among elderly people using walkers 

      Degtiarev, Aleksei (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-08-17)
      Falls of elderly people are big health burden, especially for long-term consequence. Yet we already have research, describing how exactly elderly fall and reasons of falls. We aimed to develop means that could not only detect falls and send alerts to relatives and doctors to conquer one of the biggest fears of elderly to fall and do not have the ability to call for help, but also tried to implement ...

      Aarud, Vebjørn Orre (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-08-16)
      In this master thesis, a small rotary actuator with wire driveline intendent for space solutions is developed and tested. The replication of the environment with focus on surface friction, surface roughness, and more dynamical related features are considered. Features like temperature, vibration, radiation and more are excluded to limit the size. This because the field of interest in this iteration ...
    • Refinements of some limit hardy-Type Inequalities via Superquadracity 

      Oguntuase, James A; Persson, Lars Erik; Fabelurin, Olanrewaju O; Adeagbo-Sheikh, Abdulaziz G (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-03)
      Refinements of some limit Hardy-type inequalities are derived and discussed using the concept of superquadracity. We also proved that all three constants appearing in the refined inequalities obtained are sharp. The natural turning point of our refined Hardy inequality is p=2 and for this case we have even equality.
    • Potential type operators in PDEs and their applications 

      Burtseva, Evgeniya; Lundberg, Staffan; Persson, Lars Erik; Samko, Natasha (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-01)
      We prove the boundedness of Potential operator in weighted generalized Morrey space in terms of Matuszewska-Orlicz indices of weights and apply this result to the Hemholtz equation in ℝ<sup>3</sup> with a free term in such a space. We also give a short overview of some typical situations when Potential type operators arise when solving PDEs.
    • Some new Two-Sided Inequalities concerning the Fourier Transform 

      Kopezhanova, Aigerim; Nursultanov, Erlan; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      The classical Hausdorff-Young and Hardy-Littlewood-Stein inequalities do not hold for p > 2. In this paper we prove that if we restrict to net spaces we can even derive a two-sided estimate for all p > 1. In particular, this result generalizes a recent result by Liflyand E. and Tikhonov S. [7] (MR 2464253).
    • Predicting Bedside Falls using Current Context 

      Danielsen, Asbjørn; Bremdal, Bernt Arild (Peer reviewed; Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2018-02-05)
      Each year about a third of the elderly aged 65 or older experience a fall. Many of these falls could be avoided if fall risk assessment and prevention tools where available in the daily living situation. Such tools would need to use the current context as input to predict an imminent fall. This paper presents an approach predicting imminent falls using data from a roof-mounted infrared array combined ...

      Abramovich, S; Persson, Lars Erik (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-12-28)
      Some new extensions and re finements of Hermite – Hadamard and Fejer type inequalities for functions which are N -quasiconvex are derived and discussed.
    • Economic evaluation of the Power grid tariff for households With solar Power installed 

      Sæle, Hanne; Bremdal, Bernt Arild (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      This paper focuses on alternative grid tariffs for household customers with roof top PV-panels ("prosumers"), and evaluates how alternative grid tariffs might affect the benefit from investing in a roof top PV-panel. The paper further shows how different orientations of the PV-panels can affect the benefits for the prosumers subjected to different grid tariffs (for example a power grid tariff), where ...
    • Periodic homogenization of nonlocal operators with a convolution-type kernel 

      Piatnitski, Andrey; Zhizhina, Elena (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      The paper deals with a homogenization problem for a nonlocal linear operator with a kernel of convolution type in a medium with a periodic structure. We consider the natural diffusive scaling of this operator and study the limit behavior of the rescaled operators as the scaling parameter tends to 0. More precisely we show that in the topology of resolvent convergence the family of rescaled operators ...
    • Homogenization of biomechanical models for plant tissues 

      Piatnitski, Andrey; Ptashnyk, Mariya (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      In this paper homogenization of a mathematical model for plant tissue biomechanics is presented. The microscopic model constitutes a strongly coupled system of reaction-diffusion-convection equations for chemical processes in plant cells, the equations of poroelasticity for elastic deformations of plant cell walls and middle lamella, and Stokes equations for fluid flow inside the cells. The chemical ...
    • Stationary convection-diffusion equation in an infinite cylinder 

      Pettersson, Irina; Piatnitski, Andrey (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-21)
      We study the existence and uniqueness of a solution to a linear stationary convection–diffusion equation stated in an infinite cylinder, Neumann boundary condition being imposed on the boundary. We assume that the cylinder is a junction of two semi-infinite cylinders with two different periodic regimes. Depending on the direction of the effective convection in the two semi-infinite cylinders, we ...
    • Pre-evaluation and interactive editing of B-spline and GERBS curves and surfaces 

      Lakså, Arne (Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2017-12)
      Interactive computer based geometry editing is very useful for designers and artists. Our goal has been to develop useful tools for geometry editing in a way that increases the ability for creative design. When we interactively editing geometry, we want to see the change happening gradually and smoothly on the screen. Pre-evaluation is a tool for increasing the speed of the graphics when doing ...
    • Two-scale convergence in thin domains with locally periodic rapidly oscillating boundary 

      Pettersson, Irina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The aim of this paper is to adapt the notion of two-scale convergence in Lp to the case of a measure converging to a singular one. We present a specific case when a thin cylinder with locally periodic rapidly oscillating boundary shrinks to a segment, and the corresponding measure charging the cylinder converges to a one-dimensional Lebegues measure of an interval. Themethod is then applied to the ...
