In this paper, we study the Generalized Bin Covering problem. For this problem an exact algorithm is introduced which can nd optimal solution for small scale instances. To nd a solution near optimal for large scale instances, a heuristic algorithm has been proposed. By computational experiments, the eciency of the heuristic algorithm is assessed.

A double‐pulsed laser ablation (DPLA) method has been used to synthesize crystalline boron nanorods (BNRs), nanowires (BNWs), and bamboo‐like nanotubes (BBNTs) from bulk (BKB). q‐switched Nd: YAG operating at the first second harmonic wavelengths with 1064 532 nm is ablate a solid composite target doped 1% Ni Co in tube furnace flowing argon gas. Boron nanostructures form of BNRs, BNWs, BBNTs a...

The present work aims to achieve pulsed laser deposition ofTiO2 nanostructures and investigate their nonlinear properties using z-scan technique.The second harmonic Q-switched Nd: YAG at repetition rate of 1Hz wavelength 532 nm with three different fluencies in the range 0.77-1.1 J/cm2 was utilized irradiate TiO2 target. products laser-induced plasma were characterized by utilizing UV-Vis absor...

In this paper, observers are synthesized for switched linear systems, resulting in switched observers including state jumps. The synthesis problem is formulated as a linear matrix inequality problem. By using multiple Lyapunov functions, a switched state jump observer is designed for a broader class of switched systems than earlier proposed in the literature. Copyright c © 2005 IFAC
