Max-plus linear systems theory was inspired by and originated from classical linear systems
theory more than three decades ago, with the purpose of dealing with nonlinear …

Timed weighted marked graphs are a subclass of timed Petri nets that have wide
applications in the control and performance analysis of flexible manufacturing systems. Due …

This paper deals with a control problem of discrete event systems subject to capacity
constraints. Combined use of timed event graphs and Min-Plus algebra is a well-known …

Max-plus algebra is a suitable algebraic setting to model discrete event systems involving
synchronization and delay phenomena which are often found in transportation networks …

Vibratory feeders are widespread in the production processes of mining companies. For this
reason, optimized design and fine-tuned operation of a flow-line conveyor system feeding …

This paper deals with the performance optimization of resource allocation systems with the
aim of maximizing the system's throughput under a given budget for acquiring resources …

We analyze a timed Petri net model of an emergency call center which processes calls with
different levels of priority. The counter variables of the Petri net represent the cumulated …

Petri nets (PNs) are widely used to model flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). This paper
deals with the performance optimization of FMSs modeled by Petri nets that aim to maximize …

Timed event graphs (TEGs) are suitable to model manufacturing systems in which
synchronization and delay phenomena appear. Since 1980s, TEGs are studied as a class of …

This study develops a mathematical model of an electromagnetic drive using mathematical
modeling in MatLab/Simulink app. The analysis methods include theoretical studies of …
