Event-based optimization for dispatching policies in material handling systems of general assembly lines
—A material handling (MH) system of a general assembly line dispatching parts from inventory to working buffers could be complicated and costly to operate. Generally it is extrem...

Non-monotonic Lyapunov functions for stability of discrete time nonlinear and switched systems
Abstract— We relax the monotonicity requirement of Lyapunov’s theorem to enlarge the class of functions that can provide certificates of stability. To this end, we propose two...
