The possibility that a hybrid simulation model can change its state infinitely often in a finite time interval impacts negatively, or even disables, the ability to simulate some hybrid systems. This behavior also known as chattering occurs in models that can switch continuously between different modes of operation. In this paper we provide two solutions to different kinds of chattering behavior...

In this paper, switched linear discrete-time systems are considered. We propose a method to design an observer-based switched control which guarantees that the switched system is asymptotically stable. The contribution of this paper is twofold. We propose a method to design a switched control which allows to place the poles of each subsystem in desired locations and which guarantee that the swi...

This paper is concerned with the H∞ dynamic output feedback (DOF) control problem for discrete-time switched Itô stochastic hybrid systems. By applying the average dwell time method and the piecewise Lyapunov function technique, a sufficient condition is first proposed, which guarantees the closed-loop switched stochastic system to be mean-square exponentially stable with a weighted H∞ performa...

This paper proposes a new method for block motion estimation based on center-biased hybrid search (CBHS) that employ a hybrid of a compact X-shaped search and a diamond search. It has only 9 search points per block for the best case and, on average, 10.2 search points. CBHS is about 22.2 times faster than the fullsearch algorithm. This paper compares the popular suboptimal block-matching techni...

Bacterial Panicle Blight (BPB) is a seedand residue-borne disease caused by the pathogens Burkholderia glumae and B. gladioli. In recent years, the incidence and severity of BPB appears to be correlated with the increases in abundance of insect pests of rice in Arkansas, notably rice stink bug [Oebalus pugnax (F.); RSB]. The objective of this study was to investigate the extent to which the BPB...

A new family of iterative block methods, the family of block EN-like methods, is introduced. EEcient versions are presented. Computational complexity, memory requirements and convergence properties are investigated. Finally, numerical results are presented, which show a lot of promise for the new methods, also in comparison to block GMRES and a hybrid block GMRES scheme.

In this paper the hybrid block-pulse function and Bernstein polynomials are introduced to approximate the solution of linear Volterra integral equations. Both second and first kind integral equations, with regular, as well as weakly singular kernels, have been considered. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. The obtained results show that the hyb...

in order to study the response of new sugar beet hybrids and cultivars to curly top disease in the field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and sixteen treatments in 2007 in fasa. each plot included a hybrid or cultivar planted in three rows with eight meter length and 50cm between- row spacing. after weeding and first thinning...

in this paper, the development and optimization of power distribution control strategy (pdcs) have been performed for a hybrid energy storage systems (hess) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb). a common pdcs is based on the use of ultra-capacitor (uc) pack. a new simple pdcs is developed as a battery based one. for the battery based pdcs, four parameters are introduced for tuning the pdcs pe...
