Global Trajectory Optimisation : Can We Prune the Solution Space When Considering Deep Space Manoeuvres? [Final Report]

This document contains a report on the work done under the ESA/Ariadna study 06/4101 on the global optimization of space trajectories with multiple gravity assist (GA) and deep space manoeuvres (DSM). The study was performed by a joint team of scientists from the University of Reading and the University of Glasgow

The category proliferation problem in ART neural networks

This article describes the design of a new model IKMART, for classification of documents and their incorporation into categories based on the KMART architecture. The architecture consists of two networks that mutually cooperate through the interconnection of weights and the output matrix of the coded documents. The architecture retains required network features such as incremental learning without the need of descriptive and input/output fuzzy data, learning acceleration and classification of documents and a minimal number of user-defined parameters. The conducted experiments with real documents showed a more precise categorization of documents and higher classification performance in comparison to the classic KMART algorithm.Web of Science145634
