first riccati equation with matrix variable coefficients, arising in optimal and robust control approach, is considered. an analytical approximation of the solution of nonlinear differential riccati equation is investigated using the adomian decomposition method. an application in optimal control is presented. the solution in different order of approximations and different methods of approximat...

Since 2005, state legislatures have passed hundreds of immigration bills, and state officials have argued that their efforts attempt to solve immigration crises caused by federal inaction. The state–federal clash over immigration seems to confirm scholarship suggesting deepening lines of conflict in the federal system since the 1990s. The question remains, however, whether this explosion in sta...

In this study two combined mutation operators have been developed to increase the performance of Genetic Algorithm that helps to find the minimum cost in the known Travelling Salesman problem (TSP).In order to do this the combined mutation operators which are named as Inverted Exchange and Inverted Displacement are compared with four existing mutation operators. These are programmed in C++ and ...

This paper explores the former Eastern Bloc’s (primarily the GDR and the Soviet Union) supremacy in developing elite sporting excellence and traces the ‘ow’ of elements of such systems to selected Western nation-states. The national elite sport development systems discussed in the West are: Europe (UK, France and Spain), North America (Canada, United States) and Australia. A tentative conceptu...

The authors present a novel approach for image representation based on geometric distribution of edge pixels. Object segmentation is not needed, therefore the input image may consist of several complex objects. For an efficient description of an arbitrary edge image, the edge map is divided into M £ N angular radial partitions and local features are extracted for these partitions. The entire im...

  Background and Objective: Improved and modified automation will require the development of smart process control systems that provide on-line decisions to release patients’ test results based on high analytical quality assurance formula. Materials and Methods: We collected patients’ test results from 10840 healthy subjects based on 1.96z as truncation limit for 29 common haematochemical ana...

The term low-discrepancy sequences is widely used to refer to s-dimensional sequences X satisfying the bound D∗(N,X) ≤ cs(logN) + O((logN)s−1), where D∗ denotes the usual star discrepancy. In this article, we are concerned with (t, s)-sequences in base b, one of the most famous families of low-discrepancy sequences along with Halton sequences. The constants cs for (t, s)-sequences were first co...
