In this paper, a sliding mode control law is designed to control chaos in a class of fractional order new Lorenz-like chaotic systems. By using the sliding mode control method, the states of the fractional-order system have been stabled, even if the system with uncertainty is in the presence of external disturbance. The stability of the corresponding equilibria is also argued similarly to the i...

We consider an assemble-to-order system in which components must be expedited, if necessary, to avoid violating quoted maximum leadtimes. When a high volume of customers arrive per time unit, we provide a policy for setting static prices, maximum leadtime quotations, and component production capacity, and then dynamically sequencing orders for assembly and expediting components. When expediting...

The Space Shuttle’s two-dimensional entry trajectory planning method is extended to three dimensions. Both angle-of-attack and angle-of-bank variations are used to control the entry trajectory. The trajectory planning is done with a third-order system of differential equations using the drag and lateral accelerations as intermediate controls. The reduced-order planning problem is solved first i...

We revisit the outlier hypothesis testing framework of Li et al. (TIT 2014) and derive fundamental limits for optimal test under generalized Neyman-Pearson criterion. In testing, one is given multiple observed sequences, where most sequences are generated i.i.d. from a nominal distribution. The...
