A determination of the eigenvalues for a three-dimensional system is made by expanding the potential functionV(x,y,z;Z2, λ,β)= ?Z2[x2+y2+z2]+λ {x4+y4+z4+2β[x2y2+x2z2+y2z2]}, around its minimum. In this paper the results of extensive numerical calcula...

Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Delgado, A., Kambhampati, C., & Warwick, K. (1996, September). Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks. Presented at UKACC International Conference on Control. Control '96, Exeter, UK

The main limitation of linearization theory that prevents its application in practical problems is the need for an exact knowledge of the plant. This requirement is eliminated and it is shown that a multilayer network can synthesise the state feedbac... Read More about Stable linearization using multilayer neural networks.

A cognitive approach to road recognition with novel feature indicators (1996)
Journal Article
Varley, D., Visvalingam, M., & Wright, C. (1996). A cognitive approach to road recognition with novel feature indicators. Computer Journal, 39(9), 751-756. https://doi.org/10.1093/comjnl/39.9.751

This paper outlines a simple strategy for recognition of prototypical cases of urban roads from their outline forms alone. Two new form indicators, namely exits and occupancy, are used together with average width to label regions as roads. They prove...

Thesis
Gordon, N. (1994). Finite Geometry and Computer Algebra, with Applications. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/405456

The interaction between geometry and algebra is a diverse and fruitful area to explore. Of particular interest is the area of groups and geometry. In this work we will examine various aspects of this interplay, in particular looking at geometric cano... Read More about Finite Geometry and Computer Algebra, with Applications.

The relative order of a class of recurrent networks (1994)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Manchanda, S., Kambhampati, C., Tham, M., & Green, G. (1994, March). The relative order of a class of recurrent networks. Presented at International Conference on Control '94, Coventry, UK

Three types of recurrent network configurations have been proposed since they enable adequate description of temporal behaviour. The concept of relative order has been introduced so as to provide a framework for analysing such network configurations.... Read More about The relative order of a class of recurrent networks.

Line generalisation by repeated elimination of points (1993)
Journal Article

This paper presents a new approach to line generalisation which uses the concept of ‘effective area’ for progressive simplification of a line by point elimination. Two coastlines are used to compare the performance of this, with that of the widely us... Read More about Line generalisation by repeated elimination of points.
