Welcome to Edinburgh Napier Research Repository

The ‘Research Repository’ is the open access institutional repository of Edinburgh Napier University. It contains examples of research outputs produced by staff and research students, as well as related information about the university's funded projects and staff research interests.

Whenever possible, refereed documents accepted for publication, or finished artistic compositions presented in public, will be made available here in full digital format, and hyperlinks to standard published versions will be provided. Any questions about submissions to the repository or problems with access to any of its content should be sent to the Repository Team at repository@napier.ac.uk

Convex neural network synthesis for robustness in the 1-norm (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Drummond, R., Guiver, C., & Turner, M. C. (2024, July). Convex neural network synthesis for robustness in the 1-norm. Presented at 6th Annual Learning for Dynamics & Control Conference, Oxford, England

With neural networks being used to control safety-critical systems, they increasingly have to be both accurate (in the sense of matching inputs to outputs) and robust. However, these two properties are often at odds with each other and a trade-off ha... Read More about Convex neural network synthesis for robustness in the 1-norm.

The energy-balance method for optimal control in renewable energy applications (2024)
Journal Article
Guiver, C., & Opmeer, M. R. (in press). The energy-balance method for optimal control in renewable energy applications. Renewable Energy Focus,

A theoretical method is presented, called the energy-balance method, for maximising the energy extracted from a renewable energy converter in terms of determination of an optimal control. The method applies to control systems specified by linear grap... Read More about The energy-balance method for optimal control in renewable energy applications.

Stratified coalitions and political individualisation: a structural analysis of organisations and their affiliates in Irish climate politics
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wagner, P. (2024, March). Stratified coalitions and political individualisation: a structural analysis of organisations and their affiliates in Irish climate politics. Presented at CPN-CSS Network Conference 2024, Online

Coalitions that engage in political advocacy are constituted by organisations, which are made up of individuals and organisational sub-units. Comparing the coalition-building behaviour of organisations to the equivalent behaviours of their constituen...

Dynamic service of geographically dispersed time-sensitive demands (2024)
Journal Article
de Jong, N., Aslan, A., & Bakir, I. (2024). Dynamic service of geographically dispersed time-sensitive demands. Transportation Research Part C : Emerging Technologies, 163, Article 104625. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2024.104625

This paper presents a new framework that models the novel dynamic vehicle dispatch problem with holding costs (DVDPHC), which focuses on serving stochastic demands at geographically dispersed locations in a timely manner. This framework is applicable... Read More about Dynamic service of geographically dispersed time-sensitive demands.
