In this article, an event-based near-optimal tracking control algorithm is developed for a class of nonaffine systems. First, in order to gain the tracking control strategy, the costate function is ...

THE problems of cryptography and secrecy systems furnish an interesting application of communication theory. 1 In this paper a theory of secrecy systems is developed. The approach is on a theoretical ...

Experiments are performed that demonstrate some of the functional properties of short-term storage in the visual system, its decay, readout and erasure. Results indicate that the visual process ...

The theory of the design of optimal cascaded transformer arrangements can be extended to the design of continuous transmission-line tapers. Convenient relationships have been obtained from which the ...

The barriers to improving computers’ performance have led to the emergence of new computing paradigms and technologies. Among these, the memristors are of great concern. In addition to storing data, ...

A large number of metaheuristics have been proposed and shown high performance in solving complex optimization problems. While most variation operators in existing metaheuristics are empirically ...

Two algorithms for solving the (symmetric distance) traveling salesman problem have been programmed for a high-speed digital computer. The first produces guaranteed optimal solution for problems ...

The method of characteristics provides a simple analytic solution for the transient analysis of a uniform, lossless transmission line. The interpretation of this solution in terms of equivalent ...

Aimed at the stabilization problem of the translational oscillator with a rotational actuator system (TORA) with unknown parameters, an adaptive state feedback controller with explicit form is ...

With the growing integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), flexible loads, and other emerging technologies, there are increasing complexities and uncertainties for modern power and energy ...

The key intent of the work is to analyze complex dynamics and synchronization phenomena in a 1-D array of N diffusively coupled memristor-based oscillatory/chaotic circuits, i.e., each uncoupled ...

The energy consumption of buildings has risen steadily in recent years. It is vital for the managers and owners of the building to manage the electric energy demand of the buildings. Forecasting ...
