There are similarities between semidefinite programming and linear programming in theory and practice, e.g., duality theory (see Bellman and Fan [5]), the role of complementary slackness, and efficient solution techniques using interior-point methods (see Nesterov and Nemirovski [11], Wright, [20]). Semidefinite programming has been developed both theoretically and practically for the past few ...

We prove existence and uniqueness of the invariant measure exponential mixing in total-variation norm for a class stochastic differential equations driven by degenerate compound Poisson processes. In addition to mild assumptions on distribution jumps driving process, hypotheses our main result are that corresponding control system is dissipative, approximately controllable solidly controllable....

This paper presents a new strategy to synthesis optimum controllable heat exchanger networks; the proposed strategy consists of four sequential steps: i) Quantification of index of structural controllability. ii) Exergy analysis and normalized irreversibility. iii) Thermal effectiveness of network. iv) Fuzzy analogical gates network and selection of the best weight index. Two analogical gates (...

Increasing functionality of electronic control units has enhanced our ability to control engine operation utilizing calibration static maps that provide the values of several controllable variables. State-of-the-art simulation-based calibration methods permit the development of these maps with respect to extensive steady-state and limited transient operation of particular driving cycles. Howeve...

In this paper we consider the one-dimensional compressible Navier–Stokes system linearized about a constant steady state (Q0, 0) with Q0 > 0. We study the controllability and stabilizability of this linearized system. We establish that the linearized system is null controllable for regular initial data by an interior control acting everywhere in the velocity equation. We prove that this result ...

The permeability-controllable potentiometric fluorescent probes that can visually discriminate near-zero and normal situations of cell membrane potential were reported for the first time. Different from traditional utilize fluorescence intensity to reflect potential, CQ12 CP12 have different localizations under two potential. Thus, be point-to-point indicated by images with an obvious differenc...

We propose a type of photonic-plasmonic antennas capable of focusing light into subwavelength focal point(s) at several wavelengths, which are formed by embedding conventional dimer gap or bow-tie nanoantennas into multiple-periodic gratings. Fano-type coupling between localized surface plasmon resonances of dimer antennas and photonic modes in the gratings adds new functionalities, including m...
