Robust Load Frequency Control For Multiarea Electrical Power Systems Via Analytical Proportional-Integral-Derivative Plus Second Order Derivative Controller Design, Yavuz Güler, Mustafa Nalbantoğlu, Ibrahim Kaya
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This research presents a proportional-integral-derivative plus second order derivative (PIDD2) controller design based on the Direct Synthesis Method (DSM) for load frequency control (LFC) of interconnected power systems. The parameters of the proposed PIDD2 controller are determined using the DSM, which offers an analytical approach for tuning. The design approaches have been developed specifically for single, two, and three-area power systems, encompassing nonreheated and reheated thermal turbines. In the proposed design method, the best values of PIDD2 controller parameters were found by using a multicriteria objective function that includes the integral of absolute error (IAE) and settling time. In response …

Boundary Layer Sliding Mode Control Strategy For Variable-Speed Compressor In Deep Freezers: Experimental Validation Of Energy Efficiency And Freezing Capacity, Sertan Aksoy, Kami̇l Çeti̇n, Sezai̇ Taşkin
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This study presents the design and experimental validation of a nonlinear sliding mode controller developed for a deep freezer equipped with a variable-speed compressor. The proposed control strategy aims to minimize energy consumption while maintaining rapid and stable cooling performance under varying ambient conditions. A detailed thermal model of the deep freezer was established using an equivalent resistance–capacitance network representation, enabling precise analysis of temperature dynamics. The sliding mode-based control algorithm dynamically adjusts the compressor’s operating frequency according to temperature deviation, ambient conditions, and time-dependent factors, providing robust performance without requiring parameter retuning for different models. Beyond theoretical-based analysis, a …

Empowering Edge Intelligence Through Reparameterized Lightweight Transformers And Distributed Inference, Hosein Esmaeili, Mohammad Ali Afshar Kazemi, Reza Radfar, Nazanin Pilevari
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Deploying advanced transformer-based models on resource-constrained edge devices remains a significant challenge due to their high memory footprint and substantial compute requirements. In this paper, we propose a reparameterized transformer framework that integrates High-Rank Factorization (HRF) during training, layer merging at inference, and dynamic, load-balanced distributed inference across multiple devices. To further reduce resource usage, our framework supports mixed-precision quantization down to 4-bit, enabling flexible accuracy–latency–energy trade-offs. Experimental evaluations on the ESC-50 environmental sound dataset demonstrate that our method matches or exceeds the performance of larger baseline models while using 20–30% fewer parameters, achieving up to 48% latency reduction in …
Measurement-Aware Zero-Phase Iterative Learning Control For Robust Regulation Of Nonideal Boost Converters In Electric Vehicle Fast Charging, Aytaç Altan, Mohammed S. Alzaidi, Cağfer Yanarateş
Measurement-Aware Zero-Phase Iterative Learning Control For Robust Regulation Of Nonideal Boost Converters In Electric Vehicle Fast Charging, Aytaç Altan, Mohammed S. Alzaidi, Cağfer Yanarateş
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Integrating battery energy storage with DC-DC boost converters for electric vehicle fast charging exposes the regulator to ageing-induced parameter drift, periodic load pulses, and, critically, the nonidealities in the output-voltage sensing chain. This paper proposes a measurement-aware, zero-phase iterative learning control scheme for robust output-voltage regulation of a nonideal boost converter whose parameters are matched to those of a commercial Texas Instruments TPS6102x battery regulator. The controller combines an inner proportional-integral stabilizing loop with an outer zero-phase learning law that updates a feedforward correction based on the sensor-captured output trajectory; a forward-backward robustness filter suppresses the amplification of measurement noise …
A Binary Multiobjective Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm For Feature Selection In Phishing Website Detection, Fatima Belmessaoud, Sofiane Maza, Djaafar Zouache
A Binary Multiobjective Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm For Feature Selection In Phishing Website Detection, Fatima Belmessaoud, Sofiane Maza, Djaafar Zouache
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Phishing website detection remains a major challenge in cybersecurity as attackers continuously develop new techniques to deceive users. Identifying the most informative features from large datasets is essential to improve classification accuracy while reducing computational complexity. Feature selection is therefore widely addressed using metaheuristic optimization techniques due to their flexibility and global search capability. In this study, we propose a Binary Multiobjective Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm (B-MOHOA) for feature selection in phishing website detection. The proposed method simultaneously optimizes two conflicting objectives: maximizing classification accuracy and minimizing the number of selected features. Unlike many existing studies that mainly focus on transfer …
Range–Angle-Dependent Oam Beamforming With A Concentric Helical Circular Fda, Uğur Yeşi̇lyurt
Range–Angle-Dependent Oam Beamforming With A Concentric Helical Circular Fda, Uğur Yeşi̇lyurt
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Secure and spatially selective wireless transmission requires orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams that are confined to a specific range and angle, rather than propagating indefinitely along the beam axis. In this paper, a concentric helical circular frequency diverse array (CHCFDA) is proposed to generate range–angle-dependent OAM beams without requiring external phase shifters. The helical element positioning inherently provides the necessary interelement phase distribution through physical step height, while logarithmically increasing frequency offsets are applied across concentric rings—and optionally across individual elements—to eliminate range periodicity and achieve a single, well-focused OAM beam exclusively at the target location. Both linear and logarithmic …
Generalized Spectral Bound For Quasi-Twisted Codes, Buket Özkaya
Generalized Spectral Bound For Quasi-Twisted Codes, Buket Özkaya
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Minimum distance bounds play a central role in the analysis of algebraic codes. For cyclic and constacyclic codes, several bounds based on their zero set have been developed. However, analogous results for quasi-twisted (QT) codes are comparatively limited. In this paper, we further investigate the spectral theory of QT codes and derive a general spectral bound on their minimum distance. Our bound unifies and generalizes previously known spectral bounds for quasi-cyclic (QC) and QT codes, and contains them as special cases. We present a new proof technique and show that the bound can be formulated with respect to an arbitrary …
A Novel Iterative Algorithm For Approximating Common Fixed Points Of Generalized Α-Nonexpansive Multivalued Mappings In Kohlenbach Hyperbolic Spaces, Makbule Kaplan Özekes
A Novel Iterative Algorithm For Approximating Common Fixed Points Of Generalized Α-Nonexpansive Multivalued Mappings In Kohlenbach Hyperbolic Spaces, Makbule Kaplan Özekes
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we propose a new iterative scheme involving three multivalued mappings in Kohlenbach hyperbolic spaces. Strong and ∆-convergence theorems are established for approximating common fixed points of nonexpansive multivalued mappings under suitable conditions. A numerical example is also presented to illustrate the efficiency and faster convergence of the proposed method. The results obtained extend and unify several related contributions in the existing literature.
On Families Of Finsler Metrics, İsmai̇l Sağlam, Ken'ichi Ohshika, Athanase Papadopoulos
On Families Of Finsler Metrics, İsmai̇l Sağlam, Ken'ichi Ohshika, Athanase Papadopoulos
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we answer some natural questions concerning symmetrisation and more general combinations of Finsler metrics, with a view to applications to Funk and Hilbert geometries and metrics on Teichmüller spaces. The metrics on Teichmüller space that we consider are the Thurston metric and the earthquake metric, both introduced by Thurston. The first metric has been thoroughly studied over the last couple of decades, and the second over the last few years. The Funk metric and its symmetrisation, the Hilbert metric, are classical metrics that have been investigated in the contexts of hyperbolic geometry and geometric function theory and, …

On The Monoid Of Partial Order-Preserving Transformations Of A Finite Chain Whose Domains And Ranges Are Intervals, Hayrullah Ayik, Vítor H. Fernandes, Emrah H. Korkmaz
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we consider the monoid PIOn of all partial order-preserving transformations on a chain with n elements whose domains and ranges are intervals, along with its submonoid PIOn− of order-decreasing transformations. Our main aim is to give presentations for PIOn− and PIOn. Moreover, for both monoids, we describe regular elements and determine their ranks, cardinalities and the numbers of idempotents and nilpotents.

On The Generalized Cesàro Sequence Spaces And Some Of Their Properties, Uğur Gönüllü, Faruk Polat, Martin Richard Weber
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
Let Ct = (cnm)n,m∈ℕ denote the generalized Cesàro matrix defined by cnm = tn−m/n for m ≤ n and t ∈ [0, 1], and cnm = 0 otherwise. For each q ∈ [1, ∞), the associated generalized Cesàro sequence spaces cesqt are introduced. These spaces form Banach lattices under the coordinatewise order, equipped with a naturally defined order continuous norm. We prove that cesqt = cesq0 for all t ∈ [0, 1) and q ∈ [1, ∞), implying that the space …
A Note On The Periodic Orbits Of Wolbachia Spread Dynamics In Mosquito Populations In Periodic Environments, Jose S. Cánovas
A Note On The Periodic Orbits Of Wolbachia Spread Dynamics In Mosquito Populations In Periodic Environments, Jose S. Cánovas
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We consider the periodic model introduced by B. Zheng and J. Yu, and disprove the conjectures on the number of periodic orbits the model can have. We rebuild the conjecture to prove that for periodic sequences of maps of any period, the number of nonzero periodic trajectories is bounded by two.
Characterizations Of Bi-Riordan Arrays, Nai̇m Tuğlu, Fatma Yeşi̇l Baran
Characterizations Of Bi-Riordan Arrays, Nai̇m Tuğlu, Fatma Yeşi̇l Baran
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this study, we introduce the concept of a bi-Riordan array. As part of this construction, we define new composition and power operations. We then establish an analogue of the well-known fundamental theorem of Riordan arrays (FTRA), which we call the fundamental theorem of bi-Riordan arrays. Next, we show that the product of two bi-Riordan matrices is again a bi-Riordan matrix. Using this product structure, we prove that the set of bi-Riordan matrices forms a monoid.
Exponential Stability For A Strongly Damped Wave Equation With Distributed Internal Delay, Manal Alotaibi, Nasser-Eddine Tatar, Waled Al-Khulaif
Exponential Stability For A Strongly Damped Wave Equation With Distributed Internal Delay, Manal Alotaibi, Nasser-Eddine Tatar, Waled Al-Khulaif
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
This paper investigates the exponential stability of a strongly damped wave equation subject to an internal distributed time delay. Two distinct analytical frameworks are developed: the first employs a modified energy method based on auxiliary functionals, while the second introduces a transformation that rewrites the delay term as the derivative of a convolution integral. Both approaches yield explicit decay conditions and establish exponential convergence of the energy under weaker assumptions on the damping coefficient and the delay kernel. Notably, the transformation method allows for a wider class of admissible delay weights than those permitted by classical techniques. Numerical simulations based …
Clairaut Conformal Submersions From Ricci Solitons, Murat Polat
Clairaut Conformal Submersions From Ricci Solitons, Murat Polat
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this study, we investigate Clairaut conformal submersions in the context of total manifolds that support a Ricci soliton structure. We begin by deriving the scalar curvature and Ricci tensor expressions associated with these manifolds, and we establish criteria under which the fibres can be characterized as almost Ricci solitons or Einstein manifolds. Additionally, we identify the conditions required for the base manifold to admit Ricci soliton and Einstein structures. We also determine the necessary conditions for a vector field ζ to be conformal or Killing. Moreover, we demonstrate that when the potential vector field of the Ricci soliton is …

A Delayed Siamr Prostate Cancer Model With Vertical Transmission And Treatment: Stability Analysis And Numerical Simulation, Hüseyi̇n Demir, İnci̇ Çi̇li̇ngi̇r Süngü, İbrahi̇m Keles
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we propose and analyse a delayed-compartmental mathematical model of prostate cancer dynamics that incorporates vertical transmission and therapeutic intervention. The population is stratified into five compartments: susceptible (S), infected/virally activated (I), asymptomatic infectious under treatment (A), malignant untreated (M), and recovered (R). A discrete time delay τ > 0 is introduced in the force-of-infection term to model the age-dependent onset of susceptibility in middle-aged adult males. Vertical transmission of viral etiology at a rate qΛ ensures that a fraction of newborns enter the infected compartment directly, rendering the disease persistent regardless of the basic reproduction number R₀. We …
Compact And Am-Compact Orthogonally Additive Operators, Bahri̇ Turan, Bi̇rol Altin
Compact And Am-Compact Orthogonally Additive Operators, Bahri̇ Turan, Bi̇rol Altin
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We show that compactness of orthogonally additive operators between Banach lattices is not preserved under taking the modulus by providing a nonlinear analogue of Krengel’s example. In contrast, for operators acting from a Banach lattice into an AM-space, AM-compactness is stable under lattice operations. Moreover, the space of absolutely norm bounded AM-compactorthogonally additive operators from a Banach lattice into an AM-space is a Banach lattice, and on such AM-spaces with the weak Fatou property, norm boundedness coincides with absolute norm boundedness.
Hyers-Ulam And Hyers-Ulam Rassias Stability Of Caputo Fractional Hahn Difference Equations, Karima Mohamed Oraby, Alaa E. Hamza, Afrah Al-Bossly
Hyers-Ulam And Hyers-Ulam Rassias Stability Of Caputo Fractional Hahn Difference Equations, Karima Mohamed Oraby, Alaa E. Hamza, Afrah Al-Bossly
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
In this paper, we investigate Hyers–Ulam and Hyers–Ulam–Rassias stability for fractional linear Hahn difference equations of Caputo Type. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work concerning Hyers–Ulam type stability in the framework of Caputo fractional Hahn difference equations, thereby filling a significant gap in the literature on fractional stability theory. Our approach is based on establishing an equivalence between the fractional Hahn difference initial value problem and a corresponding fractional integral equation, via the Caputo–Hahn inversion formula. These results lay a strong groundwork for analyzing the stability of Hahn fractional systems, which could be useful in …
Stochastic Control Of Inventory And Scheduling Decisions In An Open Network Of Repairables, Erhun Özkan
Stochastic Control Of Inventory And Scheduling Decisions In An Open Network Of Repairables, Erhun Özkan
Turkish Journal of Mathematics
We study maintenance operations for capital goods with repairable components. Because the downtime of a capital good is costly, the maintenance provider keeps an inventory of spare parts to quickly replace broken parts of the capital goods. After the replacement, the broken part is added to the repair facility’s repair queue. Upon a part breakdown, if there is no spare part in the inventory, then the maintenance provider has two options: (i) it can backorder the spare part demand, (ii) it can execute an emergency repair, which is done immediately and quickly, and is followed by a quick installation of …

Folic Acid-Targeted Polymeric Complex Imprinted With Doxorubicin And Quercetin For Controlled Drug Delivery In Cancer Therapy, Ceren Türkcan, Emi̇rhan İşeri̇
Turkish Journal of Chemistry
Cancer therapy is often limited by the systemic toxicity and dose-dependent adverse effects of conventional chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin (DOX). In this study, a folic acid-functionalized molecularly imprinted polymeric complex based on poly(HEMA) crosslinked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate was synthesized for the controlled release of DOX in combination with quercetin (QUE), a flavonoid known for its antioxidant and chemosensitizing properties. The aim of this work was to develop and physicochemically characterize a preliminary targeted drug delivery platform at a material-design level. The polymeric complex was synthesized via free-radical polymerization following a DOX–QUE precomplex formation step. Structural characterization was performed …

Terbutaline hemisulfate (THS), a selective beta-2 agonist, is preferred as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma and bronchitis, as well as a tocolytic agent to delay labor in acute situations during premature birth. The use of beta-2 agonists above a certain dose is considered doping in sports competitions. Therefore, it is important that they be determined with high sensitivity and selectivity within a short analysis time. In this study, a SnO2 nanoparticle-modified carbon paste electrode was developed for the determination of THS. Cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry were employed as electrochemical methods. The operating conditions of the developed …

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1 (TRAP-1), a member of the mitochondrial heat shock protein family (HSP90), is essential for protein homeostasis, stress response, and cell cycle. TRAP-1 not only optimizes cellular energy production but also prevents cell death, thereby supporting the survival and proliferation of tumor cells. In addition to cancer, TRAP-1 has been associated with Parkinson’s disease, certain autoimmune disorders, and abnormalities in the kidney and urinary tract. In this study, a unique and useful indium tin oxide-polyethylene terephthalate (ITO–PET)-based electrochemical biosensor is described for detecting the biomarker TRAP-1.

Toroidal Plasmonic Nanodimers For Enhanced Near-Infrared Emission In Heterostructured Inp Quantum Dots, Arda Gülücü, Emre Ozan Polat
Turkish Journal of Physics
Near-infrared (NIR) emitters operating in the 650--900 nm spectral range are highly attractive for imaging and sensing in turbid media. However, cadmium-free InP-based quantum dots (QDs) often exhibit limited brightness owing to nonradiative recombination pathways and inefficient photon outcoupling. In particular, heterostructured InP QDs may possess band alignments that induce partial spatial separation of charge carriers, thereby reducing the electron-hole wavefunction overlap. This characteristic modifies the intrinsic recombination dynamics and increases the sensitivity of their emission to the surrounding photonic environment. Here, we investigate silver toroidal plasmonic nanoantenna dimers (Ag TPNDs) using finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations as a geometry-tunable platform …

The Effect Of Spin Polarization On Ion-Acoustic Solitary Waves In Quantum Plasmas, Amirhosein Rezvani, Sedigheh Miraboutalebi, Leila Rajaei, Mahmoodreza Sharifian
Turkish Journal of Physics
The exchange interaction, a fundamentally quantum-mechanical phenomenon, can significantly modify the classical description of cold, overdense plasmas. These quantum effects can be systematically analyzed within the framework of quantum magnetohydrodynamic (QMHD) theory, which enables the use of separate momentum equations for spin-up and spin-down electron populations. In this study, we adopt this approach to incorporate exchange interactions for both spin species and investigate the excitation of ion-acoustic wave (IAW) solitons in the plasma system. Using a perturbative expansion method, the governing equations are reduced to a nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), which admits solitonic wave solutions. The stability of these solitons …
