Islamic banking is among rapidly-growing components in the world's financial system. Within
its institutions, continuous criteria of efficiency facilitate the evaluation of the impact of the …

Network approaches have successfully been used to help reveal complex mechanisms of
diseases including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). However despite …

In this paper, the task of achieving the soft landing of a lunar module such that the fuel
consumption and the flight time are minimized is formulated as an optimal control problem …

Trajectory optimization is a critical or pivotal part during the planning phase of a spacecraft
landing mission. Once it is set on, then the guidance algorithms are created to guide the …

Global approximation using metamodel for complex mathematical function or computer
model over a large variable domain is often needed in sensibility analysis, computer …

Process variation reduction is one of the key issues in quality improvement for various
manufacturers. Generally, it demands proper online control actions which is able to keep the …

This paper focuses the knot insertion in the B-spline collocation matrix, with nonnegative
determinants in all nxn sub-matrices. Further by relating the number of zeros in B-spline …

This paper makes an approach to the approximate optimum in structural design, which
combines the global response surface (GRS) based multivariate adaptive regression splines …

In this thesis, we deal with several optimal guidance and control problems of the spacecrafts
arising from the study of lunar exploration. The research is composed of three parts: 1 …

In this thesis we consider some numerical solution methods for solving optimal feed-back
control problems. Finding solutions to problems of this nature involves a significantly …
