Disturbance attenuation in discrete-time Kuramoto models: n/a

This thesis reports the results of research into the stability of the all-to-all coupled discrete time Kuramoto model under constant, matched input disturbances. The discrete time Kuramoto model can be used as a dynamic, decentralized multi-agent orientation coordination system: once initialized, the agents will communicate their orientations to...

Scheduling optimization in a refinery for vegetable oils

A mathematical model has been developed to determine the timing of the tasks that can be performed on a variety of units to produce a variety of end states and to monitor the flow of the material through the network. The mathematical model is based on the work of Kondili et al. (1993) and is extended with the ability to monitor and restrict the...
