An object-oriented framework for modeling and supervisory control of discrete event systems is described. Control and observation masks are encapsulated with process logic to form process objects, and a single type of interconnection operator called masked composition is used to build complex process objects out of simpler component process objects. The approach applies to both deterministic an...

The purpose of the paper is to present a step-by-step development of the transportation optimization model with random parameters, network design variables and with pricing. The well-known deterministic linear transportation model with network design 0-1 variables is shortly discussed and it is extended in two separate ways. Firstly, randomness is modeled by so-called here-and-now approach and ...

We demonstrate the advantages of randomization in coherent quantum dynamical control. For systems which are either time-varying or require decoupling cycles involving a large number of operations, we find that simple randomized protocols offer superior convergence and stability as compared to deterministic counterparts. In addition, we show how randomization may allow us to outperform purely de...

Regular expressions with shuffle operators are widely used in diverse fields of computer science. The work presented here investigates the shuffling of regular expressions and their conversion into non-deterministic finite automata. The aim of the paper is to design a novel algorithm for constructing  -free non-deterministic finite automata from the shuffling of regular expressions. Non-determ...

We present a proposal for deterministic quantum teleportation of electrons in a semiconductor nanostructure consisting of a single and a double quantum dot. The central issue addressed in this Letter is how to design and implement the most efficient--in terms of the required number of single and two-qubit operations--deterministic teleportation protocol for this system. Using a group-theoretica...

An out-tree T is an oriented tree with only one vertex of in-degree zero. A vertex x of T is internal if its out-degree is positive. We design randomized and deterministic algorithms for deciding whether an input digraph contains a given out-tree with k vertices. The algorithms are of runtime O∗(5.704k) and O∗(5.704k(1+o(1))), respectively. We apply the deterministic algorithm to obtain a deter...

This paper presents a logic BIST approach which combines deterministic logic BIST with test point insertion. Test points are inserted to obtain a first testability improvement, and next a deterministic pattern generator is added to increase the fault efficiency up to 100%. The silicon cell area for the combined approach is smaller than for approaches that apply a deterministic pattern generator...

in general, energy prices, such as those of crude oil, are affected by deterministic events such as seasonal changes as well as non-deterministic events such as geopolitical events. it is the non-deterministic events which cause the prices to vary randomly and makes price prediction a difficult task. one could argue that these random changes act like noise which effects the deterministic variat...

This study has been inspired by the paper "An efficient 3D topology optimization code written in MATLAB” written by Liu and Tovar (2014) demonstrating that SIMP-based three-dimensional (3D) topology optimization of continuum structures can be implemented in 169 lines of MATLAB code. Based on the above paper, we show here that, by simple and easy-to-understand modificati...
