A method to model and analyze the hybrid systems is presented. The time to. be considered in the plant is taken as an explicit parameter through the constrained predicated net (CPN). The CPN' s basic structure is a Petri net with predicated transition. All components of the net are expressed by anno...

One of the first attempts to derive energy-to-peak performance criteria and state-feedback controller design problem for linear parameter-varying discrete time systems with time delay is provided. Firstly, we present a parameterdependent l2-l∞ performance criterion using...

A higher-order theory for laminated composite beams is used to study the free vibration of laminated composite beams, and the differential quadrature method is employed to obtain the numerical solution of the governing differential equations. Free vibration analysis of beams with rectangular cross-s...

A class of parallel implicit Runge-Kutta formulas is constructed for multiprocessor system. A family of parallel implicit two-stage fourth order Runge-Kutta formulas is given. For these formulas, the convergence is proved and the stability analysis is given. The numerical examples demonstrate that t...

In this paper a method of eigenfunction expansion associated with 2nd order differential equation is developed by using the concept of theory of distribution. An application of the method to the infinite long antenna is described in detail.
