This paper starts by considering an optimal control formulation of the consensus problem on complete graphs with a cost capturing disagreement and agents modeled by integrators. An optimal control policy for this problem is shown to be the well-known consensus algorithm by which each agent resets its state to the average of its and other agents' state values received at every time step. The framework is extended to the case where agents can only exchange information periodically, with a period larger than one. Then an event-triggered control strategy is proposed that results in a better cost than that of the optimal periodic one with the same average transmission rate, that is, it is consistent. According to this strategy, each agent distributedly transmits its state if the error between its current state and a common consensus estimate based on previously transmitted agents' data exceeds a threshold. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the proposed strategy.

Multiproduct pipelines are crucial for delivering substantial quantities of refined oil products from major supply centers to clients within a nearby geographical area. Despite the significant infrastructure investment, the associated transportation costs are markedly lower than those incurred with traditional delivery trucks. However, the scheduling of these systems presents a formidable challenge, requiring meticulous planning of pumping runs well in advance to meet the anticipated demands of clients. In this work, we enhance an existing literature model of a multiproduct pipeline system by introducing uncertainty in the customer demand. The problem is then addressed via a two-stage stochastic formulation. The typical drawback with stochastic formulations is the high computational burden required. To address this challenge, we adapt the so-called Similarity Index decomposition, resulting in a 28-fold improvement in CPU time while achieving equivalent solutions compared to solving the full-space problem.
In this paper, we propose a randomized accelerated method for the minimization of a strongly convex function under linear constraints. The method is of Kaczmarz-type, i.e. it only uses a single linear equation in each...

The paper presents project and its verification of a prototype integrated circuit containing an analog, programmable finite impulse response (FIR) filter, implemented in CMOS 350 nm technology. The structure of the filter is based on the switched capacitor technique. In circuits of this type, one of main challenges is an efficient implementation of filter coefficients, which result from several factors described in this work. When implementing such filters as programmable circuits, the values of their coefficients have to be limited to a selected range, i.e. a given resolution in bits. In the implemented prototype filter, the filter coefficients are represented by 6 bits in sign-magnitude notation, so they can take 63 different values only. In such filters, it is not possible to directly implement any frequency response of the filter. Each time, it is necessary to properly round the theoretical values of the coefficients so that they fit into the available range of discrete values resulting from the implementation. The authors of the work designed an algorithm that allows such matching. The paper also presents results of measurements of the prototype chip.
