In this study, the aim is to propose a new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables. The fuzzification idea of dummy variables has been acquired from non-linear part of regime switching models in econometrics. In these models, the concept of transfer functions is like the notion of fuzzy membership functions, but no principle or linguistic sentence have been used for inputs. Consequen...

This dissertation mainly focuses on implementation techniques for adaptive switching control. Adaptive switching control can generate bad transients in controller output. These bad transients can be reduced by various bumpless transfer techniques. A new bumpless transfer technique is developed based on slow-fast controller decomposition. This technique is especially well-suited to situations in...

The problem of multi-therapeutic HIV treatment is posed in this study as a switching problem to find the optimal switching time between the different therapies. To solve the optimal switching problem with nonlinear subsystems an algorithm is developed for learning the cost-to-go as a function versus different switching times and different initial conditions. Once the function is obtained in a c...

In this paper, a closed-loop switching function for on-off thruster firings is proposed to provide good attitude control performance in the presence of modeling errors for single-axis slew maneuver of a rigid spacecraft and to eliminate double-sided thruster firings. The size of a single-sided deadband in the switching function provides the capability of a tradeoff between maneuver time and fue...

we solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber bragg gratings (fbgs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. the characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear fbgs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval, on-off switching ratio are studied. the effects of fbg length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on fbg charac...

Based on virtual equivalent system concept and methodology, a unified analysis of the stability and convergence of switching multiple model adaptive control (MMAC) of linear time-invariant discrete plant is presented. The main results are expressed by three criteria. Two of them are applicable to switching MMAC systems with arbitrary control strategy, arbitrary parameter estimation algorithm an...

This study focuses on the analysis of code-switching Universitas Mahasaraswati Denpasar’s Synergy Bird Conservation with Customary Village Community to Promote Demulih Bangli as a Green and Harmonious Virtual Educational Tourism or in Indonesian is Sinergi Konservasi Burung Bersama Desa Adat dalam Mempromosikan Bukit sebagai Kawasan Wisata Edukasi yang Hijau dan Berkicau (henceforth SITADEWIKU)...

In this paper an efficient high step-up converter with a coupled- inductor with soft- switching operation is presented. The proposed topology includes a coupled-inductor boost converter for raising the voltage gain. Moreover, a simple auxiliary resonant circuit composed of an auxiliary switch, a clamping diode and a resonant tank (inductor, capacitor), is adopted in this paper. The coupled-indu...
