this paper offers an approach that could be useful for diverse types of layout problems or even area allocation problems. by this approach there is no need to large number of discrete variables and only by few continues variables large-scale layout problems could be solved in polynomial time. this is resulted from dividing area into discrete and continuous dimensions. also defining decision var...

The problem of pole assignment, also known as an eigenvalue assignment, in linear discrete-time periodic systems in discs was solved by a novel method which employs elementary similarity operations. The former methods tried to assign the points inside the unit circle while preserving the stability of the discrete time periodic system. Nevertheless, now we can obtain the location of eigenvalues ...

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing discrete-time control systems with closed-loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of stability. First, we obtain a state feedback matrix which assigns all the eigenvalues to zero, and then by elementary similarity operations we find a state feedback which assigns the eigenvalues inside a circle with center   and radius. This new algorithm ca...
