For the first time, the finitetime stabilization with guaranteed cost control for linear autonomous timevarying delay systems with bounded controls is studied in this paper. Based on the Lyapunov functional method and a generalized Jensen integral inequality, novel sufficient conditions for designin[r]
This paper presents solution for fleet sizing problem with time windows (FSPTW) using genetic algorithm (GA). FSPTW involves identifying the optimal number of vehicles in environments with shuttle transportation tasks with known demands and predefined time windows. Those environments are very common[r]

Electrical transformers are important components in transmission and distribution power systems; they make possible the transfer of MWs and Mvars between networks operating at various voltage levels. The modeling of these power system components in the steadystate analysis of electrical networks is[r]

This handbook has been a part of a personal journey that began years ago when I was ayoung boy with a love of water. Books are companions along the journey of learning. Ihope that you will be able to use this handbook in your own journey of learning aboutwater. Hav[r]
The term “push” and “pull” have been used to explain a wide variety of production inventory systems. The distinction refers to a specific attribute, which can be identified by observing the mechanisms for controlling material flow on the shop floor and a specific policy for the management of invento[r]
The authors develop an endogenous growth model that combines structural change with repeated product improvement. That is, the technologies in one sector of the model become not only increasingly capitalintensive, but also progressively productive over time. Application of the basic model to less de[r]
Automatic night light control system needs no manual operation for switching ON and OFF when there is need of light. It detects itself whether there is need for light or not. When darkness rises to a certain value then automatically light is switched ON and when there is other source of light i.e. d[r]
This paper deals with the finitetime stability and H∞ control of linear discretetime delay systems. The system under consideration is subject to interval timevarying delay and normbounded disturbances. Linear matrix inequality approach is used to solve the finitetime stability problem. First, new su[r]
Wetlands are those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration sufficient to maintain saturated conditions. These can be either preexisting natural wetlands (e.g. marshes, swamps, bogs, cypress domes and strands, etc.) or constructed wetland systems.[r]
This paper is concerned with the problem of robust finitetime stabilization for a class of linear systems with multiple delays in state and control and disturbance.The disturbance under consideration are norm bounded. We first present delaydependent sufficient conditions for robust finitetime stabil[r]
