Generalized adaptive notch smoothers (GANSs) extend the concepts of adaptive notch filtering in two directions. Firstly, they are designed to estimate coefficients of nonstationary quasi-periodic systems, rather than signals. Secondly, they employ noncausal processing, which greatly improves their accuracy and...

Network Graph Transformation Providing Fast Calculation of Paths for Resilient Routing

As a remedy to this problem, we introduce an approach to pre-compute the sets of disjoint...
