In this paper we compute `∞ and `1 induced norm bounds of switched linear systems. In particular, we concentrate on certain types of such systems, namely output switching, input switching, and combinations thereof, and we provide exact gains for the worst case switching. As an application of the input output approach of the paper, we consider the problem of sensitivity minimization and show tha...

This study addresses the problem of minimizing tool switching instants in automated manufacturing systems. There exist a single machine and group jobs to be processed on it. Each job requires set tools, due limited magazine capacity, because it is not possible load all available tools machine, must switched. The ultimate goal, this framework, minimize total number instants. We provide mathemati...

Abstract: In this paper we focus on the reduction of switching activity in combinational logic circuits. An algorithmic approach using k-map has been proposed which modifies the normal optimal solution obtained from k-map to reduce its switching activity. More than 10% reduction in switching activity has been observed using our method. The final solution gives a good trade off between cost and ...

The proper use of natural resources can preserve these valuable assets. In line with the management of natural resources, land use optimization can be highly useful. The aim of the present study is to propose an appropriate integrative model for optimized allocation of lands for surface runoff and sediment load minimization and net income maximization in Bayg watershed, Iran. In this study, fiv...

decisions relating to most irrigation-planning problems need to be made in the face of hydrologic uncertainties, which make the irrigation-planning problem more complex. the uncertainties can be tackled by formulating the problem as fuzzy linear programming (flp). in the present study, single objective fuzzy linear programming (soflp) irrigation planning model was formulated for deriving the op...

In this paper, minimization of the total harmonics (THD) present in the output voltage of multilevel inverters is discussed . In order to reduce the harmonic contents of the inverter's output voltage the best approach is THD minimization. In multilevel inverters, if fundamental frequency switching strategy is considered,(each switch turning on and off once per output cycle), the switching angle...

Minimization of Boolean switching functions is a basic problem in the design of logic circuits. The designer first comes up with a switching funct.ion expressed in terms of several binary input. variables that satisfies tlie desired functionality, and then attempts t.0 minimize the function as a sum of products or product of sums. It turns out that a sum of products form of a switching function...

We present DCOOL-NET, a scalable distributed in-network algorithm for sensor network localization based on noisy range measurements. DCOOL-NET operates by parallel, collaborative message passing between single-hop neighbor sensors, and involves simple computations at each node. It stems from an application of the majorization-minimization (MM) framework to the nonconvex optimization problem at ...
