This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...

All practical MPC implementations should have a means to recover from infeasibility. We present a recently developed infeasibility handler which computes optimal relaxations of the relaxable constraints subject to a user-de ned prioritization, by solving only a single linear program on-line in addition to the standard quadratic programming problem on-line. A stability result for this infeasibil...

this paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. the proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. this kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

The quadratic knapsack problem (QKP) has been the subject of considerable research in recent years. Despite notable advances in special purpose solution methodologies for QKP, this problem class remains very difficult to solve. With the exception of special cases, the state-of-the-art is limited to addressing problems of a few hundred variables and a single knapsack constraint. In this paper we...

The use of polynomial functions to describe the average growth trajectory and covariance functions of Nellore and MA (21/32 Charolais+11/32 Nellore) young bulls in performance tests was studied. The average growth trajectories and additive genetic and permanent environmental covariance functions were fit with Legendre (linear through quintic) and quadratic B-spline (with two to four intervals) ...

abstract different strategies are existed for adjusting with water shortage, of which the strategy of suitable policies adoption by determining optimum production function can be mentioned. water shortage and quality degradation of soil and water resources is one of main factors of production reduction. therefore, this study was carried out for determination of tomato sensitivity coefficients a...

In the paper a linear-quadratic optimization problem (LCTOR) with unseparated two-point boundary conditions is considered. To solve this problem is proposed a new sweep algorithm which increases doubles the dimension of the original system. In contrast to the well-known methods, here it refuses to solve linear matrix and nonlinear Riccati equations, since the solution of such multi-point optimi...
