A Seidel-type interface condition is considered for non-overlapping domain decomposition iterative methods. With a suitable pseudo-energy defined on interfaces, the convergence speed of the iterative scheme is shown to be as twice fast as that of the Jacobi scheme. Our analysis is entirely independent of the governing model problems of a specific type of partial differential equations, but depe...

Wireless and mobile networks have experienced a great success in the past few years. However, any single type of wireless and mobile network cannot meet all types of service requirements. For example, no single type of existing wireless and mobile network can provide both wide coverage and high bandwidth services. In order to provide more comprehensive services, an integrated heterogeneous wire...

micropolar plasticity provides the capability to carry out post-failure simulations of geo-structures due to microstructural considerations and embedded length scale in its formulation. an essential part of the numerical implementation of a micropolar plasticity model is the integration of the rate constitutive equations. efficiency and robustness of the implementation hinge on the type of inte...

In this article several control schemes for a pilot scale polymerization reactor are proposed and one of them is selected as the most suitable design. The performances of proposed schemes have been compared through computer simulations. The controllers are PID and Chosen reaction is polymerization of methyl methacrylate which is highly exothermic.

This paper aims at studying the interaction between the extraction of interscheme properties, such as synonymies, homonymies and type conflicts (which are exploited for dejining the semantics of involved schemes for integration purposes), and the resolution of type conjlicts. As a matter of facts, the transformations required by type conflict resolution could invalidate some of the detected int...

We present new abelian partial difference sets and amorphic group schemes of both Latin square type and negative Latin square type in certain abelian p-groups. Our method is to construct what we call pseudo-quadratic bent functions and use them in place of quadratic forms. We also discuss a connection between strongly regular bent functions and amorphic group schemes.

At ISW’99, Nishioka, Hanaoka and Imai proposed a digital signature scheme on ID-based key-sharing infrastructures. That signature scheme is claimed to be secure if the discrete logarithm problem is hard to solve. Two schemes (the ID-type and the random-type schemes) based on the linear scheme for the Key Predistribution Systems (KPS) and the discrete logarithm problem (DLP) were given. In this ...

Adaptive robust control schemes are developed for the trajectory tracking control of robot manipulators. The schemes utilize a dynamic sliding mode and achieve a guaranteed transient performance and nal tracking accuracy in the presence of both parametric uncertainties and uncertain nonlinearities. In the absence of uncertain nonlinearities, the schemes also achieve asymptotic tracking. In addi...
