This paper is about the application of adaptive sliding mode control to solving congestion problem for DiffServ Network. A nonlinear fluid flow model which is transformed into a parametric strict feedback form is used to analyze and control. Backstepping design procedure is applied, which leads to a new adaptive sliding mode controller. And by using the adaptive sliding mode controller, we achi...

the method for measuring the congestion of noura et al. [a.a. noura, f. ‎hosseinzadeh lotfi, g.r. jahanshahloo, s. ‎fanati rashidi, r.p. barnett, a new method for measuring congestion in data envelopment analysis, socio-economic planning sciences, 44 (2010) 240-246] ,there is no problem for congestion detection in the case of one input and one output but in higher space is not able to detect co...

We study the existence of classical solutions to a broad class local, first order, forward-backward extended mean field games systems, that includes standard games, with congestion, and type control problems. work strictly monotone cost may be fully coupled Hamiltonian, which is assumed have superlinear growth. Following previous on order system, we prove smooth under coercivity condition ensur...

In this article, the q-analogues of the linear relations of non-strict multiple zeta values called “the sum formula” and “the cyclic sum formula” are established.

We consider the class of two-person zero-sum allocation games known as Captain Lotto games (Hart 2014). These are Colonel Blotto type games in which the players have capacity constraints. We consider the game with non-strict constraints, and with strict constraints. We show in most cases that when optimal strategies exist, they are necessarily unique. When they don’t exist, we characterize the ...

Jarik Nešetřil suggested to the first author the investigation of notions of homogeneity for relational structures, where “isomorphism” is replaced by “homomorphism” in the definition. Here we look in detail at what happens for posets. For the strict order, all five generalisations of homogeneity coincide, and we give a characterisation of the countable structures that arise. For the non-strict...

In many parts of the developed world, the sale and use of phosphide is under strict regulations with adequate training of workers being a major perquisite before its use. In Nigeria this chemical is commonly available and in most cases users are largely untrained, therefore contamination of cowpea with residual phosphide post-fumigation does occur. The aim of this study is to determine the impa...

| ATM Forum has chosen rate{ based control as the ow control scheme for available bit rate (ABR) service. However, rate{based schemes can achieve congestion control only if all users act in a cooperative manner. Even a limited number of uncooperative users can cause congestion collapse. In this paper, we propose a mechanism called fair packet discarding to provide incentives to users to partici...

Real time applications usually impose strict QoS requirements on communication networks. Several QoS frameworks have been developed and standardized to satisfy these QoS requirements. Among them is the NSIS QoS framework that is currently being standardized by the NSIS (Next Steps In Signaling) working group within IETF. Each communication node or a domain on the path that supports the NSIS QoS...

Both Lowe and Tsai have presented their own versions of the theory that both indicative subjunctive conditionals are strict conditionals. We critically discuss we find each version wanting.
