This paper focuses on the new properties of time optimal control problems with a class of dependent input constraints. Based on such constraints, both of the theoretical analysis and the geometry interpretations are investigated for time optimal control problems. According to these input constraints, a special kind of bang-bang control called dynamic single-input control is introduced, which has a form that only a single input channel works at its extreme value while the other channels are unused and the working channel may hop among different input channels during the entire optimal period. Moreover, through the geometric perspective, it is illustrated that the dependent input constraints will guarantee a more efficient time optimal control than the one with standard input constraints. Finally, a numerical example is employed to demonstrate the results in the paper.

Accounting education research during the last two decades has called for continuous efforts to identify and improve the learning styles of undergraduates. Research efforts should continue ti identify for valid instruments to measure students' learning styles, so that accounting educators can reliably use information from these instruments to improve the learning process. This study attempts to probe the learning styles of Universiti Utara Malaysia accounting students. The preferred learning styles of UUM accounting students are identified and recommendations are made to effective learning preferences.

Growing use of technology by students is having an impact on teaching and learning as students are increasingly seeking to use technologies to engage in a range of academic activities. The traditional way of teaching and learning have to change in order to enhance students’ social and lifelong learning skills. Communicating with mobile phone have become a daily routine by most students. They are motivated to almost anything that involves mobile technology. That is why they are spending hours with their phones. Thus, this study is done to recognize how mobile technology can help enhancing the social and lifelong learning of students through a case done in Seminar in Management Accounting class with the use of social and lifelong learning rubric and action research methodology. The study found that students have the opportunity to engage with the business communities through the use of mobile technology. The technologies enable them to engage with other party regardless of time and si...
