In this paper the recently introduced backstepping method for boundary control of linear partial differential equations (PDEs) is extended to plants with non-constant diffusivity/...
Problem Frames are a systematic approach to the decomposition of problems that allows us to relate requirements, domain properties, and machine specifications. Having decomposed a...

— We present an ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population computes t...
During the last 15 years, many mathematical models have been developed in order to solve process operation scheduling problems, using discrete or continuous time representations. ...
