A convergence behavior is under investigation near a simple real zero for the k-fold pseudo-Olver's method defined by extending the classical Olver's method. The order of convergence is shown to be at least k+3. The asymptotic error constant is explicitly given in terms of k and the corresponding simple zero. Various numerical examples with a proposed zero-finding algorithm are successfully confirmed with the use of symbolic and computational ability of Mathematica.

The k-fold pseudo-Newton's method is proposed and its convergence behavior is investigated near a simple zero. The order of convergence is proven to be at least k + 2. The asymptotic error constant is explicitly given in terms of k and the corresponding simple zero. High-precison numerical results are successfully implemented via Mathematica and illustrated for various examples.

A novel zero voltage and zero current switching (ZVZCS) full bridge (FB) PWM converter with low output current ripple is presented. A simple auxiliary circuit added in the secondary provides ZVZCS conditions to primary switches, ZVS for leading-leg switches and ZCS for lagging-leg switches, as well as reduces the output current ripple (ideally zero ripple). The auxiliary circuit includes neither lossy components nor additional active switches which are demerits of the previously presented ZVZCS converters. Many advantages including simple circuit topology, high efficiency, low cost and low current ripple make the new converter attractive for high performance high power (＞1kW) applications. The principle of operation, features and design considerations are illustrated and verified on a 2.5kW, 100KHz IGBT based experimental circuit.

In this research, we propose a simple bivariate zero inflated negative binomial regression model with different dispersion for bivariate count data with excess zeros. An application to the demand for health services shows that the proposed model is better than existing models in terms of log-likelihood and AIC.

This paper deals with the bifurcations of non-semi-simple eigenvalues at critical point of Hopf bifurcation to understand the dynamic behavior of the system. By using the Puiseux expansion, the expression of the bifurcation of non-semi-simple eigenvalues and the corresponding topological structure in the parameter space are obtained. The zero-order approximate solutions in the vicinity of the critical points at which the multiple Hopf bifurcation may occur are developed. A numerical example, the flutter problem of an airfoil in simplified model, is given to illustrate the application of the proposed method.

This paper proposes a frequency detection method based on an advanced zero-crossing technique. Zero-crossing method for detecting frequency is one of the most widely used methods today. Although it is simple to apply, it requires extra hardware in implementation due to its limitations in accuracy. The proposed method models the error generated during zero crossing linearization and compensated for it in real time which makes it simple and accurate. The validity of the method and its applicability in anti-islanding detection of distributed generators was confirmed through simulation.

In this paper an Improved Zero Voltage Zero Current Pulse Width Modulation Forward converter which employs a simple resonance snubber circuit is introduced. A simple snubber circuit consists of a capacitor, an inductor and two diodes. In proposed converter, switch Q1 operates at ZCS turn-on, and ZVS turn-off conditions and all-passive semiconductor devices operate at ZVZCS turn-on and turn-off state. The proposed converter is analyzed and various operating modes of the ZVZCS-PWM forward converter are discussed. Analysis and design considerations are presented and the prototype experimental results of a 100w (40 V/2.5A) proposed converter operating at 30 KHz switching frequency confirm the validity of theoretical analysis.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.

In this paper, a revolutionary buck converter is proposed with soft-switching technology, which is realized by a coupled inductor. Both zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of main switch and zero-current switching (ZCS) of freewheeling diode are achieved at turn on and turn off without using any auxiliary circuits by the resonance between the parasitic capacitor and the coupled inductor. Furthermore, the peak voltages of the main switch and the peak current of the freewheeling diode are significantly reduced by the coupled inductor. As a result, the proposed converter has the advantages of simple circuit, convenient control, low consumption and so on. The detailed operation principles and steady-state analysis of the proposed ZVS-ZCS buck converter are presented, and detailed power loss analysis and some simulation results are also included. Finally, experimental results based on a 200-W prototype are provided to verify the theory and design of the proposed converter.
