A Novel Passive Regenerative Snubber for the Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Converter: Analysis, Design and Experimental Verification
The development of Wide Bandgap (WBG) devices has enabled power electronic converters to operate at much higher frequencies, voltages and high power. Working at a higher switching frequency minimises the size of magnetics ... -
Novel Regularized Image Reconstruction Algorithms for Sparse Photoacoustic Tomography
Among all tissue imaging modalities, photo-acoustic tomography (PAT), has been getting increasing attention in the recent past due to the fact that it has high contrast, high penetrability, and has capability of retrieving ... -
Novel Reinforcement Learning Algorithms and Applications to Hybrid Control Design Problems
The thesis is a compilation of two independent works. In the first work, we develop novel weight assignment procedure, which helps us develop several schedule based algorithms. Learning the value function of a given policy ... -
A Novel Technique For Enhancing The Pollution Flashover Strength Of Ceramic Disc Insulators
(2013-07-16)Pollution is the single largest cause of transmission/distribution line outages, next to lightning, which result in expensive power outages. A major significance of the problem is that it can repeatedly occur even at ... -
nuKSM: NUMA-aware Memory De-duplication for Multi-socket Servers
An operating system's memory management has multiple goals, e.g. reducing memory access latencies, reducing memory footprint. These goals can conflict with each other when independent subsystems optimize them in silos. ... -
Number Theoretic, Computational and Cryptographic Aspects of a Certain Sequence of Arithmetic Progressions
(2018-06-21)This thesis introduces a new mathematical object: collection of arithmetic progressions with elements satisfying the inverse property, \j-th terms of i-th and (i+1)-th progressions are multiplicative inverses of each other ... -
On A Cubic Sieve Congruence Related To The Discrete Logarithm Problem
(2013-05-21)There has been a rapid increase interest in computational number theory ever since the invention of public-key cryptography. Various attempts to solve the underlying hard problems behind public-key cryptosystems has led ... -
On a Divide-and-Conquer Approach for Sensor Network Localization
(2018-08-20)Advancement of micro-electro-mechanics and wireless communication have proliferated the deployment of large-scale wireless sensor networks. Due to cost, size and power constraints, at most a few sensor nodes can be equipped ... -
On Applications of 3D-Warping and An Analysis of a RANSAC Heuristic
In recent years communication of the scene geometry is gaining importance. With development of technologies such as head mounted displays and Augmented Reality (AR) the need for efficient 3D scene communication is becoming ... -
On Asymmetric Distributed Source Coding For Wireless Sensor Networks
(2011-01-19)We are concerned with addressing the worst-case distributed source coding (DSC) problem in asymmetric and interactive communication scenarios and its application to data-gathering wireless sensor networks in enhancing their ... -
On Codes for Private Information Retrieval and Ceph Implementation of a High-Rate Regenerating Code
(2018-07-09)Error-control codes, which are being extensively used in communication systems, have found themselves very useful in data storage as well during the past decade. This thesis deals with two types of codes for data storage, ... -
On Design and Analysis of Energy Efficient Wireless Networks with QoS
(2018-06-13)We consider optimal power allocation policies for a single server, multiuser wireless communication system. The transmission channel may experience multipath fading. We obtain very efficient, low computational complexity ... -
On Dimensional Parameters Of Graphs And Posets
(2013-06-21)In this thesis we study the following dimensional parameters : boxicity, cubicity, threshold dimension and poset dimension. While the first three parameters are defined on graphs, poset dimension is defined on partially ... -
On Generalized Measures Of Information With Maximum And Minimum Entropy Prescriptions
(2008-01-29)Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy or KL-entropy of P with respect to R defined as ∫xlnddPRdP , where P and R are probability measures on a measurable space (X, ), plays a basic role in the definitions of classical information ... -
On Learning and Lower Bound Problems Related to the Iterated Matrix Multiplication Polynomial
The iterated matrix multiplication polynomial (IMM) of width w and length d is the 1x1 entry in the product of d square matrices of size w. The w^2d entries in the d matrices are distinct variables. In this thesis, we study ... -
On Learning k-Parities and the Complexity of k-Vector-SUM
(2018-02-06)In this work, we study two problems: first is one of the central problem in learning theory of learning sparse parities and the other k-Vector-SUM is an extension of the not oriousk-SUM problem. We first consider the problem ... -
On Linear Codes in Projective Spaces
The projective space $\mathbb{P}_q(n)$ of order $n$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ is defined as the collection of all subspaces of the ambient space $\mathbb{F}_q^n$. The Grassmannian $\mathcal{G}_q(n, k)$ is the set ...
