This paper develops a new method of integral sliding mode control redesign for a class of perturbed nonlinear dissipative switched systems by modifying the dissipativitybased control law that was designed for the unperturbed systems. The nominal model is considered affine with matched and unmatched perturbations. The redesigned control law includes an integral sliding-based control signal such ...

In a highly competitive environment, it becomes more important to shorten the whole business process while delivering or even enhancing the business value to the customers and suppliers. Although the workflow management systems receive much attention for its capacity to practically support the business process enactment, the effective workflow modeling method remain still challenging and the hi...

We consider linear matrix equations where the linear mapping is the sum of a standard Lyapunov operator and a positive operator. These equations play a role in the context of stochastic or bilinear control systems. To solve them efficiently one can fall back on known efficient methods developed for standard Lyapunov equations. In the present paper we describe a direct and an iterative method ba...

background: design of school furniture is one of the contributing factors to back pain among pupils. research has implicated that mismatch between school furniture and body size may be regarded as a causative factor for muculoskeletal disorders amongst pupils. to investigate the fitness between school furniture and pupils this study was designed and implemented in hamadan city, west of iran. me...

In this paper, Gain-Scheduling (GS) control via parameter dependent Lyapunov function for crane is synthesized. A purpose of cranes system is to lift and carry a load to assigned positions. Cranes are required to transport the load fast, accurately and to reduce oscillations. In previous research, a method to robust control of cranes to suppress effects by variation of the rope length have been...
