In this paper the design of a time varying switching plane for the sliding mode control of the third order system subject to the velocity and acceleration constraints is considered. Initially the plane passes through the system representative point in the error state space and then it moves with a constant velocity to the origin of the space. Having reached the origin the plane stops and remain...

This paper proposes a method for eliminating multicollinearity from linear regression models. Specifically, we select the best subset of explanatory variables subject to the upper bound on the condition number of the correlation matrix of selected variables. We first develop a cutting plane algorithm that, to approximate the condition number constraint, iteratively appends valid inequalities to...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

preventive maintenance scheduling is to perform a series of tasks that prevents or minimizes production breakdowns and improves the reliability. mathematical models have been developed to solve the preventive maintenance scheduling problem. there are several limitations in the prior work in this area of research. craft combinations are assumed to be given. the craft combination problem concerns...

Past studies on bimanual coordination have revealed a general preference to move the limbs in a symmetrical fashion, also denoted as the in-phase mode. Its counterpart, the asymmetrical or anti-phase mode, is performed with lower degrees of accuracy and stability. This ubiquitous tendency to activate the homologous muscle groups is referred to as the muscle grouping constraint (egocentric const...

In this paper a constrained relative attitude determination solution of a formation of two vehicles is considered and the effect of constraint violation on the estimation error is studied. The solution for the relative attitude between the two vehicles is obtained only using line-of-sight measurements between them and a common (unknown) object observed by both vehicles. The solution represents ...

This paper addresses the problem of mirror surface reconstruction, and proposes a solution based on observing reflections moving reference plane surface. Unlike previous approaches which require tedious calibration, our method can recover camera intrinsics, poses plane, as well from observed under at least three unknown distinct poses. We first show that 3D be estimated reflection correspondenc...

This paper proposes a novel algorithm for solving NP-hard constrained discrete minimization problems whose unconstrained versions are solvable in polynomial time such as constrained submodular function minimization. Applications of our algorithm include constrained MAP inference in Markov Random Fields, and energy minimization in various computer vision problems. Our algorithm assumes the exist...

this study set out to investigate the distribution of the syntactic properties associatedwith the prodrop parameter by persian-speaking l2 learners of english in an attemptto examine the (un)attainability of native-like knowledge and (in)accessibility of ugin adult sla. to do so, 92 participants were assigned into different levels of l2knowledge based on their performances on the oxford placeme...

Multi-constraint quality-of-service routing will become increasingly important as the Internet evolves to support real-time services. It is well known however, that optimum multi-constraint QoS routing is computationally complex, and for this reason various heuristics have been proposed for routing in practical situations. Among these methods, those that use a single mixed metric are the mo...
