in this article, a finite horizon, multi product and multi period economic order quantity like seasonal items is considered where demand rate is deterministic and known but variable in each period. the order quantities of items come in batch sizes and the end of the period order quantity and, consequently, demand of customers are zero. in addition, storage space is constrained and the problem ...

background and objectives: hbv dna monitoring is important in management of chronic viral hepatitis b infection. hbv dna measurements are carried out over period of months to years. so the analytical system must be stable and reproducible. the aim of this study was to determine the performance characteristics and to plan a statistical quality control system of a laboratory-developed real-time q...

Abstract. The aim of this paper is to study the controllability and observability for a class of linear time-varying impulsive control systems on time scales. Sufficient and necessary conditions for state controllability and state observability of such systems are established. The corresponding criteria for time-invariant impulsive control systems on time scales are also obtained.

Linear time-varying singular systems are treated in this paper. We focus on systems with constant-rank E matrices. It is shown that the existence of state feedback for impulse elimination is both sufficient and necessary for the existence of linear-quadratic optimal control. Also, optimal control exists if and only if the corresponding fast subsystem is impulse controllable. The results obtaine...

the problem of pole assignment, also known as an eigenvalue assignment, in linear discrete-time periodic systems in discs was solved by a novel method which employs elementary similarity operations. the former methods tried to assign the points inside the unit circle while preserving the stability of the discrete time periodic system. nevertheless, now we can obtain the location of eigenvalues ...

in this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (hoamsc). it is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...

there are two significant goals in teleoperation systems: stability and performance. this paper introduces an lmi-based robust control method for bilateral transparent teleoperation systems in presence of model mismatch. the uncertainties in time delay in communication channel, task environment and model parameters of master-slave systems is called model mismatch. the time delay in communicatio...
