Optimal Locating-Total Dominating Sets in Strips of Height 3

Ville Junnila (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A set C of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is total dominating in G if all vertices of V are adjacent to a vertex of C. Furthermore, if a total dominating set C in G has the additional property that for any distinct vertices u, v ∈ V C the subsets formed by the vertices of C respectively adjacent to u and v are different, then we say that C is a locating-total dominating set in G. Previously, locating-total dominating sets in strips have been studied by Henning and Jafari Rad (2012). In particular,...

Output synchronization of multi-agent port-Hamiltonian systems with link dynamics

Bing Wang, Xinghu Wang, Honghua Wang (2016)

Kybernetika

In this paper, the output synchronization control is considered for multi-agent port-Hamiltonian systems with link dynamics. By using Hamiltonian energy function and Casimir function comprehensively, the design method is proposed to overcome the difficulties taken by link dynamics. The Hamiltonian function is used to handle the dynamic of agent, while the Casimir function is constructed to deal with the dynamic of link. Thus the Lyapunov function is generated by modifying the Hamiltonian function...

Polyabelian loops and Boolean completeness

François Lemieux, Cristopher Moore, Denis Thérien (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider the question of which loops are capable of expressing arbitrary Boolean functions through expressions of constants and variables. We call this property Boolean completeness. It is a generalization of functional completeness, and is intimately connected to the computational complexity of various questions about expressions, circuits, and equations defined over the loop. We say that a loop is polyabelian if it is an iterated affine quasidirect product of Abelian groups; polyabelianness...

Reconstructibility of Boolean control networks with time delays in states

Ping Sun, Lijun Zhang, Kuize Zhang (2018)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the reconstructibility of Boolean control networks (BCNs) with time delays in states. First, a survey on the semi-tensor product, weighted pair graph, constructed forest and finite automata is given. Second, by using the weighted pair graph, constructed forest and finite automata, an algorithm is designed to judge whether a Boolean control network with time delays in states is reconstructable or not under a mild assumption. Third, an algorithm is proposed to determine the current...

Reduction in the number of LUT elements for control units with code sharing

Alexander Barkalov, Larysa Titarenko, Jacek Bieganowski (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Two methods are proposed targeted at reduction in the number of look-up table elements in logic circuits of compositional microprogram control units (CMCUs) with code sharing. The methods assume the application of field-programmable gate arrays for the implementation of the combinational part of the CMCU, whereas embedded-memory blocks are used for implementation of its control memory. Both methods are based on the existence of classes of pseudoequivalent operational linear chains in a microprogram...

Remarks about energy transfer in an RC ladder network

Wojciech Mitkowski (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The problem of energy transfer in an -ladder network is considered. Using the maximum principle, an algorithm for constructing optimal control is proposed, where the cost function is the energy delivered to the network. In the case considered, optimal control exists. Numerical simulations were performed using Matlab.

Restricted nondeterministic read-once branching programs and an exponential lower bound for integer multiplication

Beate Bollig (2001)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Branching programs are a well established computation model for Boolean functions, especially read-once branching programs have been studied intensively. In this paper the expressive power of nondeterministic read-once branching programs, more precisely the class of functions representable in polynomial size, is investigated. For that reason two restricted models of nondeterministic read-once branching programs are defined and a lower bound method is presented. Furthermore, the first exponential...
