Social responsibility is a key factor that could result in success and achieving great benefits for supply chains. Responsiveness and reliability are important social responsibility measures for consumers and all stakeholders that strategists and company managers should be concerned about them in long-term planning horizon. Although, presence of uncertainties as an intrinsic part of supply chai...

Analog circuits and systems are by nature sensitive to parameter deviations. These variations cause a system behavior differing from the nominal constructed property. In this paper, we discuss and demonstrate the applicability of Affine Arithmetic for analyzing the impact of parameter deviations and uncertainties on system parameters. Affine Arithmetic allows us to model deviations and uncertai...

The problem of H∞ output feedback for uncertain linear discrete-time systems with state-delay and parameter uncertainties is considered. The objective is to design a linear output feedback controller such that, for the unknown state time-delay and all admissible norm-bounded parameter uncertainties, the feedback system remains robustly stable and the transfer function from the exogenous disturb...
