in this paper, an efficient and comprehensive hybrid intelligent technique for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (pmus) is proposed to minimize the number of pmu installation subjected to full network observability. three main purposes of pmus output synchronous measurements are monitoring, control, and protection of power system. we have combined binary imperialistic competitio...

The domatic number of a graph G, denoted dom(G), is the maximum possible cardinality of a family of disjoint sets of vertices of G, each set being a dominating set of G. It is well known that every graph without isolated vertices has dom(G) ≥ 2. For every k, it is known that there are graphs with minimum degree at least k and with dom(G) = 2. In this paper we prove that this is not the case if ...

Let G be a simple undirected graph. The regular number of G is defined to be the minimum number of subsets into which the edge set of G can be partitioned so that the subgraph induced by each subset is regular. In this work, we obtain the regular number of some families of graphs and discuss some general bounds on this parameter. Also, some of the lower or upper bounds proved in [4] are shown h...

OF THE DISSERTATION Service Outage Based Adaptive Transmission in Fading Channels by Jianghong Luo Dissertation Director: Prof. Roy Yates, Prof. Predrag Spasojević The service outage based allocation problem explores variable rate transmission schemes and combines the concepts of ergodic capacity and outage capacity for fading channels. The ergodic capacity determines the maximum achievable rat...

This paper presents an assessment of the vulnerability of the power grid to blackout using graph topological indexes. Based on a FERC 715 report and the outage reports, the cascading faults of summer WSCC 1996 are reconstructed, and the graphical property of the grid is compared between two cases: when the blackout triggering lines are removed simulating the actual sequence of cascading outages...

The outage probability of reverse link multicarrier (MC) code-division multiple access (CDMA) systems with beamforming in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) is studied. A conventional uniform linear array (ULA) beamformer is utilized. An independent Nakagami fading channel is assumed for each subcarrier of all users. The outage probability is first investigated under a scenario wher...

We consider an amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative diversity system where a source node communicates with a destination node directly and indirectly (through multiple relays). In regular multiple-relay cooperative diversity systems, all relay nodes relay the source signal using orthogonal channels (time slots, carriers, or codes) to avoid cochannel interference. Hence, for a regular cooperativ...
