airplane in presence of asymmetric left-wing damaged. ‎Variations of the aerodynamic parameters, mass and ‎moments of inertia, and the center of gravity due to ‎damage are all considered in the nonlinear ‎mathematical modeling. The proposed discrete-time ‎nonlinear MRAC algorithm applies the recursive least ‎square (RLS) algorithm as a parameter estimator as ‎well as the error between the real ...

CS educators have paid a great deal of attention to Discrete Mathematics over the past several decades. Although there have been many suggestions for improving this course, it seems to us that the real purpose of Discrete Mathematics as a transitional course has been long forgotten. We believe that the most important objective of this course is to let students be familiar with the format and st...

We use discrete time models to represent the dynamics of two interacting populations, a “valuable” population and a “pest” population. We investigate optimal control in the form of decreasing the growth rate of the “pest” population with the goal of maximizing the “valuable” population while minimizing the cost of the control. We compare different types of growth functions for the “valuable” po...
