Słowa kluczowe: inventory control production scheduling mixed-integer programming

Abstrakt

Most algorithms for the economic lot scheduling problem (elsp) following the extended basic period approach consist of two decision levels. On the upper level, the length of the production cycle and the number of lots (frequency) within the cycle for all products are determined. On the lower level, lots are scheduled to level workloads of all periods and ensure a timely start of production. This paper presents a new mixed-integer programming (mip) model for the scheduling subproblem under the power-of-two policy. This is the first mip model that exactly determines and minimizes additional inventory holding costs due some lots’ premature start of production. It may be solved by a free general-purpose solver within a fraction of a second. Experiments with several problem instances described in the literature confirmed that using the new model within a heuristic algorithm ensures a significant cost reduction for the entire elsp. Additionally, all optimal schedules for the Bomberger case are presented.

2 CentralMaizeGuard: Enhanced deep learning model for maize disease detection and management

Fathe Jeribi , Ali Tahir , Nadim Rana , Jayabrabu Ramakrishnan , R. John Martin

Archives of Control Sciences | 2025 | Vol. 35 | No 2 | 221–250 | DOI: 10.24425/acs.2025.155393

Słowa kluczowe: CenterNet classification deep learning DenseNet maize plant

Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

The detection of maize plant leaf diseases is a critical aspect of agricultural management, necessitating accurate and efficient methodologies. The field of maize plant leaf disease detection encounters several challenges that hinder the development of robust and effective solutions. One prominent challenge is the diversity of disease indicators, wherein various pathogens can cause similar symptoms, making it challenging to differentiate between diseases accurately. Additionally, limited annotated datasets pose a constraint, hindering the training of deep learning models and potentially leading to suboptimal generalization. The dynamic nature of plant growth and environmental conditions further complicates disease detection, as the appearance of symptoms may vary at different stages of plant development. Another challenge lies in achieving a balance between accuracy and computational efficiency, especially in real-time applications, as many existing models struggle to provide rapid and precise results simultaneously. This paper addresses prevailing challenges in disease detection by introducing a customized CenterNet approach, incorporating DenseNet-65 as its foundational architecture. Common issues encountered in traditional disease detection models are addressed through our proposed approach, which demonstrates superior performance in both disease classification and precise localization of affected regions. A comparative analysis is conducted against conventional and contemporary methodologies, emphasizing the innovation and competitiveness of our model in advancing maize plant leaf disease detection. We evaluated our approach on a standard dataset CD&S and attained a classification accuracy of 98.62%. This contribution not only expands the current understanding of disease detection in agriculture but also offers a practical and efficient solution for improved maize crop management.

Archives of Control Sciences | 2025 | Vol. 35 | No 2 | 265–288 | DOI: 10.24425/acs.2025.155395

Słowa kluczowe: symmetric dual models multiple cost variational control problems properly efficient point

Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

In this paper, we build a symmetric dual model associated with a family of multiple cost control problems. More concretely, under weaker generalized convexity hypotheses than those formulated in previous research works (for classical multiobjective variational problems), we establish and extend the framework to controlled variational models, and, therefore, the derived results become significantly stronger and more generous than those presented so far in the specialized literature.

6 Synthesis of ladder diagrams in the control of the transport line of rolling elements

Adam Szcześniak , Zbigniew Szcześniak , Leszek Cedro

Archives of Control Sciences | 2025 | Vol. 35 | No 2 | 301–319 | DOI: 10.24425/acs.2025.155397

Słowa kluczowe: ladder diagrams delay execution systems synthesis and verification of sequential systems

Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

The article presents a synthesis of ladder diagrams in controlling any configuration of the conveyor path for delivering rolling elements to spiral storages in interoperative transport. The ladder diagram of the sequential control system sets the state of distributors to ensure a flow of parts to serve successive storages. The fundamental module of the ladder diagram is the memory block. The ladder diagram of the sequential control system was developed based on the sequence graph of filling the storages. A single or dual sensor system controls the filling status of spiral storages.

The rolling element displacement control sensors work together with appropriately designed systems to execute the delay of the rising and falling edge input signal. Time-delay relays, specifically the ON-delay Timer and OFF-delay Timer, were used in programming PLC controllers to implement control systems.

By using a two-level control of the filling level of the storages, it is possible to control the emptying status of the storages as a function of the technological time of removal of the items from the storage between the two control points.

The synthesis of ladder diagrams in control and their verification was conducted using the computer program FluidSim by Festo.

8 H_∞ positive filter-based control for positive linear systems

Montassar Ezzine , Mohamed Darouach , Harouna Souley Ali , Hassani Messaoud

Archives of Control Sciences | 2025 | Vol. 35 | No 2 | 351–373 | DOI: 10.24425/acs.2025.155399

Słowa kluczowe: positive systems positive functional 𝐻∞ filters linear systems filter-based controller LMI optimization problem

Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

This paper deals with the design of a positive functional H_∞ filter-based controller for positive linear systems subject to bounded energy disturbances. We propose a new approach to numerically compute the controller, which is obtained via a function of the state to be estimated with the same order as the controller. The positive filter-based controller is obtained into two steps. First, we search for positive state feedback gain for the design of a control law such that the closed-loop is positive, stable and ensures an H_∞ performance requirement. This design of state-feedback gain is solved via constrained Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). Then, we search in a second step for a positive functional filter-based controller permitting to reconstruct this control law, and so to estimate only a functional of the state useful for control purposes. The filter is positive, that is, it ensures the nonnegativity of the estimated states. The proposed procedure is based on the positivity of an augmented system composed of dynamics of both considered system and proposed filter-based controller and also, on the unbiasedness of the estimation error by solving a Sylvester equation. Then we derive conditions for the establishment of such filterbased controller in terms of an optimization problem, that can be solved via constrained LMIs. An algorithm that summarizes the different steps of the designed positive controller for positive linear systems is given. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

9 Design of FOPID controllers by using 3D plots

Mehmet Emir Koksal

Archives of Control Sciences | 2025 | Vol. 35 | No 2 | 375–424 | DOI: 10.24425/acs.2025.155400

Słowa kluczowe: PID controller FOPID controller phase margin gain margin Iso-damping phase flatness noise rejection 3D plots

Pobierz PDF Pobierz RIS Pobierz Bibtex

Abstrakt

A three-dimensional (3D) graphical method is developed to tune the gain parameters of the fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controller knowing fractional orders. The controlled plant itself is also fractional order (FO) and it may have a time delay. For special cases, the method is applicable for integer-order PID controller design for integer and fractional-order systems with or without time delay. Some graphical design tools are used beneficially in literature using 2D plots. Although the use of some minor 3D plots has appeared, they are based on shifting 2D plots to the third dimension, which makes the approach semior quasi-3D. This paper presents the mathematical formulations of five design specifications in accordance with the 3D drawing with programming implementations by MATLAB. For designing controllers by using the introduced 3D graphical method, system design specifications such as phase margin (PM), gain margin (GM), phase flatness (PF), low-frequency output disturbance rejection (LFODR) and high-frequency noise rejection (HFNR) are considered, and their important characteristics are shown. The requirements are mapped in the 3D Euclid space (K_p, K_i, K_d) ∈ R³ by 3D surfaces and/or lines so that the proportional, integral, derivative control coefficients K_p, K_i, K_d, can be chosen to meet the given specifications in an optimum way and to allow trade-off or compromise.
