optimization means finding the best solution among several alternatives. Optimization can be performed an all engineering fields. There are two examples show the application opportunities at logistic systems. One of them is the traffic light control and the other one is a sugar drying system....

In model reference adaptive controller (MRACs), the adaptive gain of the controller is varied according to the process dynamic variation as it is directly related with the system stability. In MRAC, there is no provision of an automatic selection of adaptive gain and adaptation rate. To get rid...

Function projective dual synchronization between two pairs of hyperchaotic systems with fully unknown parameters for drive and response systems is investigated. On the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory, a suitable and effective adaptive control law and parameters update rule for unknown...

A novel adaptive sliding mode controller using neuro-fuzzy network based on adaptive cooperative particle sub-swarm optimization (ACPSSO) is presented in this article for nonlinear systems control. The proposed scheme combines the advantages of adaptive control, neuro-fuzzy control, and sliding...

We study regression models for nonstationary categorical time series and their applications, and address the issues of prediction, estimation and control. Generalized Linear Models and Partial Likelihood are the basic tools in the present study. The models link the probabilities of each category...
