    Abstract: Constrained switching of switched nonlinear systems consists of many classes of switching signals with markedly different features. One of the most important ones is the average dwell time (ADT) switching. For switched systems, it is a well-known result that a switched nonlinear system is globally uniformly asymptotically stable under arbitrary swi... Show More

    Abstract: The coupled nonlinear system of differential equations in 1-butanol dehydration under atmospheric and isothermal conditions are solved analytically for the microchannel reactor. Approximate analytical expressions of concentrations of 1-butanol, 1-butene, water and dibutyl ether are presented by using homotopy analysis method. The homotopy analysis ... Show More

    Abstract: This paper develops the variants of Chebyshev’s method by applying Lagrange interpolation and finite difference to eliminate the second derivative appearing in the Chebyshev’s method. The results of this research show that the modified eight-order method has the efficiency index 1.5157. Numerical simulations show that the effectiveness and performa... Show More
