The theory of active-passive mode-locked solid-state lasers is developed where the passive mode-locking is achieved by a nonlinear mirror. Steady-state cw numerical solutions are analyzed in detail for the case of a Nd:YAG laser. The steady-state pulse duration can be reduced by an order of magnitude as compared to the pure active modelocking regime.

sliding mode control (smc) is a powerful approach to solve the tracking problem for   dynamical systems with uncertainties. however, the traditional smcs introduce actuator chattering phenomenon which performs a desirable behavior in many physical systems such as servo control and robotic systems, particularly, when the zero steady state error is required.  many methods have been proposed to el...

Simulation of a process and analysis of its resulting data in both dynamic and steady-state conditions are fundamental steps in understanding the process in order to design and efficient control of system as well as implementing operational cost reduction scheme. In the present paper, steady and unsteady state simulation of Amir Kabir1, 3 butadiene purification units has been done by using Aspe...

We study the tracking problem in the presence of smooth, bounded uncertainty and find sufficient conditions so that, if the uncertainty satisfies a suitable matching condition, one can design a partial information controller (i.e., an output feedback controller) achieving arbitrarily small steady-state tracking error. This work was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Coun...

We propose an energy-based stochastic model of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where each sensor node is randomly and alternatively in an active and a sleep mode. We first investigate the sensor model and derive the formula of the steady-state probability when there are a number of data packets in different sensor modes. We then determine important sensor’s performance measures in terms of ener...
