one main group of a transportation network is a discrete hub covering problem that seeks to minimize the total transportation cost. this paper presents a multi-product and multi-mode hub covering model, in which the transportation time depends on travelling mode between each pair of hubs. indeed, the nature of products is considered different and hub capacity constraint is also applied. due to ...

Estimating the mode of operation of a hybrid system means to account for its interleaved continuous and discrete dynamics from a partial set of observations. The quality of the estimation obviously depends on the level of diagnosability of the system, which has been shown to depend on the discrete and the continuous observations as a whole. The case of two modes showing very similar, if not the...

In this paper, the output tracking control is addressed for discrete-time multi-input-multi-output nonlinear systems subjected to external disturbance by a novel output-based integral sliding mode predictive scheme. First of all, law proposed based on new type surfaces. To further improve accuracy, an obtained in combination with designed and model control. Rigorous analysis provided demonstrat...
