This paper presents a novel discrete population based stochastic optimization algorithm inspired from weed colonization. Its performance in a discrete benchmark, timecost trade-off...
We consider control systems of the type x = Ax+(t)bu, where u R, (A, b) is a controllable pair and is an unknown time-varying signal with values in [0, 1] satisfying a permanent...
—The electro-fused magnesia furnace is one of the main equipments used to produce electro-fused magnesia which is high performance refractory. Due to the multivariable, strong no...

Abstract— We prove that a controllable set of smooth trajectories is the solution set of a constant coefficient linear differential equation if and only if it is linear, time in...
—We consider the management of electric vehicle (EV) loads within a market-based Electric Power System Control Area. EV load management achieves cost savings in both (i) EV batte...
— In this paper, we give sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of a diffeomorphism in an extended state space that allows to transform a multi-output nonlinear dyn...
—Current industrial applications demand the design of more and more complex, safe and trustworthy control systems which exhibit a high degree of flexibility and reutilization. To...
