This paper presents the averaging model of a buck converter derived from the generalized state-space averaging method. The sliding mode control is used to regulate the output voltage of the converter and taken into account in the model. The proposed model requires the fast computational time compared with those of the full topology model. The intensive time-domain simulations via the exact topo...

In this paper, we present a framework to simulate biological cellular processes involving a strong topological and geometric structuration. Our framework is based on topology-based geometric modelling. The edge labels of a graph sub-class, the n-dimensional generalized maps, model the neighbouring relations between biological compartments. Thus, membranes become topological objects of the n-dim...

This paper generalizes the Max-Flow Min-Cut (MFMC) theorem from the setting of numerical capacities to cellular sheaves of semimodules on directed graphs. Motivating examples of semimodules include probability distributions, multicommodity capacity constraints, and logical propositions. Directed algebraic topology provides the tools necessary for capturing the salient information in such a gene...

In analogy to chemical reaction networks, I demonstrate the utility of expressing the governing equations of an arbitrary dynamical system (interaction network) as sums of real functions (generalized reactions) multiplied by real scalars (generalized stoichiometries) for analysis of its stability. The reaction stoichiometries and first derivatives define the network's "influence topology", a si...

We analyze the local structure of model and empirical food webs through the statistics of three-node subgraphs. We study analytically and numerically the number of appearances of each subgraph for a simple model of food web topology, the so-called generalized cascade model, and compare them with 17 empirical community food webs from a variety of environments, including aquatic, estuarine, and t...

Ordinary t-timed modular Petri Nets are used for modeling, analysis, synthesis and performance evaluation of random topology dedicated production systems. Each system is first decomposed into production line, assembly, disassembly and parallel machine modules followed by derivation of their modular Petri Net models. Two sets of modules, generic and generalized respectively, are derived correspo...

We introduce infinitary propositional theories over a set and their models which are subsets of the set, and define a generalized geometric theory as an infinitary propositional theory of a special form. The main result is that the class of models of a generalized geometric theory is set-generated. Here a class X of subsets of a set is set-generated if there exists a subset G of X such that for...

The notion of service overlay network (SON) was proposed recently to alleviate difficulties encountered in providing end-to-end quality of service (QoS) guarantees in the current Internet architecture. The SONs are able to provide QoS guarantees by purchasing bandwidth from individual network domains and building a logical end-to-end data delivery infrastructure on top of existing Internet. In ...

Grothendieck Toposes are often considered as generalized spaces; indeed, every space gives rise to a topos of sheaves, and various invariants and constructions from (algebraic) topology can be generalized to the level of toposes. In this talk, I will introduce a newly discovered invariant called the isotropy group of a topos and illustrate by considering special cases such as continuous group a...

A methodology is proposed for optimal shaping of permanent magnets with non-conventional and complex geometries, used in synchronous motors. The algorithm includes artificial neural network-based surrogate model and multi-objective search based optimization method that will lead to Pareto front solutions. An interior permanent magnet topology with crescent-shaped magnets is also introduced as t...
