We study the length functions of controlled bad sequences over some well quasi-orders (wqo's) and classify them in the Fast Growing Hierarchy. We develop a new and self-contained study of the length of bad sequences over ...

The ordered weighted average (OWA) aggregation is an extension of the classical weighted average by using a reordering process of the arguments in a decreasing or increasing way. This article presents new averaging aggregation ...

We analyze two well-known related aspects regarding the sequence of minority sides from the Minority Game (MG) in its symmetric phase: period-two dynamics and quasi-periodic behavior. We also study the sequence of minority ...

The photonic modes of Thue-Morse and Fibonacci lattices with generating layers A and B, of positive and negative indices of refraction, are calculated by the transfer-matrix technique. For Thue-Morse lattices, as well for ...

The closed-form solution of a generalized hybrid type quasi-3D higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT) for the bending analysis of functionally graded shells is presented. From the generalized quasi-3D HSDT (which ...

This dissertation deals with the design and development of an Adaptive Control by Model Reference (MRAC) structure together with a Sliding Mode (SM) controller through a simplified first order reference model, neglecting ...

Due to its ability to provide Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control and independent regulation of the DC bus voltage, this makes the inverter quasi-Z-Source (qZS) an attractive candidate for applications in ...

A result of Pólya states that every sequence of quadrature formulas Q n (f) with n nodes and positive Cotes numbers converges to the integral I(f) of a continuous function f provided Q n (f) = I(f) for a space of algebraic ...
