This paper deals with the design of resilient Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) for homogeneous vehicle platoons in which communication is vulnerable to Denial-of-Service (DOS) attacks. We consider DOS attacks as consecutive packet dropouts. present a controller tuning procedure based on linear matrix inequalities (LMI) that maximizes resiliency attacks, while guaranteeing performance ...

Networked Control Systems (NCSs) has been recognized as an area where theory is behind the development of technology. The defining feature of NCSs can be considered as the information is exchanged through a network among control system components. So the network induced time delay is inevitable in NCSs. The time delay may degrade the performance of control systems and even destabilize the syste...

Abstract The nonlinear Maxwell Lagrangian preserving both conformal and SO(2) duality-rotation invariance has been introduced very recently. Here, in the context of Einstein’s theory gravity minimally coupled with this electrodynamics, we obtain a black hole solution which is Reissner–Nordström one additional parameter that coming from theory. We employ causality unitarity principles to identif...

Background and Objectives: In this paper, a real life nurse scheduling model is described based on the conditions in Iranian hospitals such as monthly shift rotation, consecutive morning and evening shifts and consecutive evening and night shift.   Methods: The developed model considers both hospital constraints and nurses’ preferences. Hospital constraints include assigning adequate qualifie...

Finding the full load motion for a point-to-point task can maximize the productivity and economic usage of the mobile manipulators. The presented paper proposes a technique to determine the maximum allowable dynamic payload for flexible mobile manipulators along with the obtained optimal trajectories. Non-linear modeling of the mobile robotic manipulators by considering both link and joint flex...
