The concept of stabilizability radius of P(s, δ) is introduced which is the norm bound δs for δ such that every member plant of P(s, δ) is stabilizable if and only if ||δ||〈δs. The stabilizability radius can be simply interpreted as the 'largest sphere' around the nominal plant P(s,θ) such that P(s, δ) is stabilizable. The numerical method and the analytical method are presented to solve the stabilizability radius calculation problem of the sphere plants.展开更多

This problem consists in the allocation of courses in the periods that are part of a curriculum such that the prerequisites are satisfied and the load of courses is balanced for the students. This paper presents the solution for a modified BACP where the academic loads and number of curses may be the same or different for each one of the periods and allows having some courses in a specific period. This problem is modeled as an integer programming problem and is proposed the use of Tabu search with short-term memory for its solution because it is not possible to find solutions for all the instances of this modified problem with an exact method.展开更多

Firstly, a set of reachable paths to each intermediate node from the source node and the sink node based on adjacent matrix transformation are calculated respectively. Then a temporal optimal path is selected by adopting the proposed heuristic method according to a non-linear cost function. When the total number of the accumulated nodes by bidirectional searching reaches n-2, the paths from two directions to an intermediate node should be combined and several paths via different nodes from the source node to the sink node can be obtained, then an optimal path in the whole set of paths can be taken as the output route. Some simulation examples are included to show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. In addition, the proposed algorithm can be implemented with parallel computation and thus, the new algorithm has better performance in time complexity than other algorithms. Mathematical analysis indicates that the maximum complexity in time, based on parallel computation, is the same as the polynomial complexity of O(kn2-3kn+k), and some simulation results are shown to support this analysis.展开更多

We provide an effective algorithm for computing a finite set U of non-zero univariate polynomials such that the infimum inf V(f : H) of V(f : H) is a root of some polynomial in U whenever inf V(f : H) = ±∞.The strategies of this paper are decomposing a finite set of polynomials into triangular chains of polynomials and computing the so-called revised resultants.
