This research proposes a bi-level model for the mixed network design problem (MNDP). The upper level problem involves redesigning the current road links' directions, expanding their capacity, and determining signal settings at intersections to optimize the reserve capacity of the whole system. The lower level problem is the user equilibrium traffic assignment problem. By proving that the optima...

one of the most important challenges in nonlinear, multi-input multi-output (mimo) and time variant systems (e.g., robot manipulator) is designing a controller with acceptable performance. this paper focused on design a new artificial non linear controller with on line tunable gain applied in the robot manipulator. the sliding mode fuzzy controller (smfc) was designed as 7 rules mamdani’s infer...

Department of Mathematics Sathyabama University, Chennai – 119 [email protected] Abstract This paper deals with the Distributed Generation (DG) capacity of the electrical power system. DG capacity is formulated as a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problem with respect to various operating constraints in power generation. The objective of this model is to minimize the real power loss by ...

We consider a semi-dynamic setting for the Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problem, where we are requested to maintain the path-consistency of a network under a sequence of insertions of new (further) constraints between pairs of variables. We show how to maintain path-consistent a network in the deened setting in O(nR 3) amortized time on a sequence of (n 2) insertions, where n is the number ...

The bin-packing problem asks for a packing of a list of items of sizes from (0; 1] into the smallest possible number of bins having unit capacity. The k-item bin-packing problem additionally imposes the constraint that at most k items are allowed in one bin. We present two e6cient on-line algorithms for this problem. We show that, for increasing values of k, the bound on the asymptotic worst-ca...

On-line comprehensive Reversed Phase Liquid Chromatography×Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (RPLCxSFC) was investigated for the separation of complex samples of neutral compounds. The presented approach aimed at overcoming the constraints involved by such a coupling. The search for suitable conditions (stationary phases, injection solvent, injection volume, design of interface) are discussed ...
