This contribution considers the guaranteed cost control for a class of linear uncertain time-delay switched singular systems under arbitrary switching laws with a given quadratic performance index. Based on a Lyapunov function approach and a linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, a sufficient condition on the existence of guaranteed cost state feedback controllers is derived, which ensures t...

In this paper, reconfiguration problem of distribution network has been investigated toimprove reliability and reduce power loss by placement of renewable energy sources; i.e. solarcell and wind turbine. For this, four reliability indices are considered in objective function;which are as follows: System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI), System AverageInterruption Duration Index (SAI...

evaluating existing flexible pavement condition is a pre-requisite to choose improvement technique that has to be adopted to enhance its quality. to evaluate existing pavements, non-destructive testing methods are desirable. benkelman beam and 5th wheel bump integrator are used to conduct non-destructive tests like deflection and roughness surveys on the existing pavement of 4 lane divided carr...

This paper presents a novel and efficient mapping algorithm, called Citrine. It generates a set of mappings which have nearly minimum possible distance between related cores results in reduction of communication cost in Network-on-Chip (NoC), while improving other performance metrics. Comparison of the communication cost results makes it obvious that final solutions found by our proposed approa...

despite the fact that iran enjoys a high-potential agricultural sector in production of various products and the important role this sector plays in the development of non oil-based exports, a large amount of the government budget is being spent on the vegetable oil and oilseed rape (as animal food) import. for this reason, during the recent years the production of oil-based products is conside...

The main aim of this study, introduce a model todetermine the optimal values of the index value to minimize thetotal expected cost index and also the best decision making inselecting the industry and the region for investment by investors.For this purpose, the technique of linear programming to determinethe optimal values of the index value is used. Finally, FuzzyTOPSIS technique to prioritize ...

We propose an efficiently updatable index scheme for XML documents. This index scheme consists of four types of indices. Content index manages occurrence positions of words, element names, attribute names and attribute values. Local structure index manages logical structure of each document. Global structure index summarizes logical structure of document instances for a DTD. The last one is cal...
