On the Use of Entropy Issues to Evaluate and Control the Transients in Some Epidemic Models
(MDPI, 2020-05-09)
This paper studies the representation of a general epidemic model by means of a first-order differential equation with a time-varying log-normal type coefficient. Then the generalization of the first-order differential ...
On the Entropy of Events under Eventually Global Inflated or Deflated Probability Constraints. Application to the Supervision of Epidemic Models under Vaccination Controls
(MDPI, 2020-02-29)
This paper extends the formulation of the Shannon entropy under probabilistic uncertainties which are basically established in terms or relative errors related to the theoretical nominal set of events. Those uncertainties ...
On a New Epidemic Model with Asymptomatic and Dead-Infective Subpopulations with Feedback Controls Useful for Ebola Disease
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2017-02-19)
This paper studies the nonnegativity and local and global stability properties of the solutions of a newly proposed SEIADR model which incorporates asymptomatic and dead-infective subpopulations into the standard SEIR model ...
ANN-Based Airflow Control for an Oscillating Water Column Using Surface Elevation Measurements
(MDPI, 2020-01-29)
Oscillating water column (OWC) plants face power generation limitations due to the stalling phenomenon. This behavior can be avoided by an airflow control strategy that can anticipate the incoming peak waves and reduce its ...
Sliding mode control law for a variable speedwind turbine
(WSEAS, 2011)
Modern wind turbines are designed in order to work in variable speed operations. To perform this task, wind turbines are provided with adjustable speed generators, like the double feed induction generator. One of the main ...
Viscosity Approximation Methods for * −Nonexpansive Multi-Valued Mappings in Convex Metric Spaces
(MDPI, 2020-01-17)
In this paper, we prove convergence theorems for viscosity approximation processes involving * −nonexpansive multi-valued mappings in complete convex metric spaces. We also consider finite and infinite families of such ...
Stability and Limit Oscillations of a Control Event-Based Sampling Criterion
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
This paper investigates the presence of limit oscillations in an adaptive sampling system. The basic sampling criterion operates in the sense that each next sampling occurs when the absolute difference of the signal amplitude ...
Rotational Speed Control Using ANN-Based MPPT for OWC Based on Surface Elevation Measurements
(MDPI, 2020-11-16)
This paper presents an ANN-based rotational speed control to avoid the stalling behavior in Oscillating Water Columns composed of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator driven by a Wells turbine. This control strategy uses ...
Self-Adaptive Global-Best Harmony Search Algorithm-Based Airflow Control of a Wells-Turbine-Based Oscillating-Water Column
(MDPI, 2020-07-03)
The Harmony Search algorithm has attracted a lot of interest in the past years because of its simplicity and efficiency. This led many scientists to develop various variants for many applications. In this paper, four ...
