4 Continuous-time Systems: Tracking Control
In this chapter we treat the problem of H∞ tracking with stochastic multiplicative white noise. We extend the work of [98], which does not involve... -
6 Stochastic Passivity
Passivity of deterministic linear systems plays an important role in network theory and in adaptive control. The fact that a system is passive... -
C Appendix: The Discrete DLMI Method
We consider the following system: $$ x_{k+1}=A_kx_k + B_k w_k, \quad k=0,1,... -
Vision Based Motion Planning of Humanoid Robots
Vision is the most effective sensing form for humans in understanding their environment, recognition of the objects around them and navigating from... -
Fuzzy-Neural Impedance Control for Robots
In conventional impedance control, the difficulties encountered in obtaining an exact system dynamic model and selecting its impedance parameters... -
Evolution of Locomotion Controllers for Legged Robots
The construction of a locomotion controller for legged robots is a difficult and time consuming process. This task can be automated through the use... -
Robust Stability of Interval Lur’e Systems: A Bilinear Matrix Inequality Approach
This paper provides a sufficient condition for an interval Lur’e system to be globally exponentially stable with a dam** factor. The Lur’e system... -
Adaptive Robust Fuzzy Tracking Control for a Class of Nonlinear Systems
The tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear systems with uncertain system function and uncertain gain function, which are the unstructured... -
Thresholding Segmentation and Classification in Automated Ultrasonic Testing Image of Electrical Contact
This paper is concerned with the thresholding segmentation of ultrasonic C-scan image for defect with artificial intelligence and support vector... -
3-D Grasp Analysis and Synthesis Using the Ray-Shooting Technique
The ray-shooting technique is a powerful tool for handling geometric information in Computational Geometry and Computer Graphics. This chapter... -
Rational Positive Systems for Reaction Networks
The purpose of the lecture associated with this paper is to present problems, concepts, and theorems of control and system theory for a subclass of... -
Completion Problems for Positive Matrices with Minimal Rank
Matrix completion problems studies the partial matrices, that is, a rectangular matrix some of whose entries are specified, and the remainder entries... -
Stability of Linear Systems and Positive Semigroups of Symmetric Matrices
The role of Lyapunov operators in stability theory is well-known. In this paper we present an interesting characterization of Lyapunov operators. We... -
Estimation and Strong Approximation of Hidden Markov Models
We give novel conditions for the existence of the limit of the normalized log-likelihood function for a finite-state continuous read-out Hidden... -
Parameter Identifiability of Nonlinear Biological Systems
Parameters characterizing the internal behaviour of biological and physiological systems are usually not directly accessible to measurement. Their... -
Qualitative Analysis of Regulatory Graphs: A Computational Tool Based on a Discrete Formal Framework
Building upon the logical approach developed by the group of R. Thomas in Brussels, we are defining a rigorous mathematical framework to model... -
Differential Systems with Positive Variables
The variables of biological, ecological, or chemical systems are often positive, because they measure concentrations, numbers, ...We study polynomial... -
A Characterization of Reachable Positive Periodic Descriptor Systems
Periodic descriptor system with nonnegative restrictions and its associated invariant cyclically augmented system (ICAS) are analyzed. The weakly... -
Linear Positive Systems and Phase-type Representations
In this paper we try to put a bridge between the theory of phase-type distributions and the general theory of positive linear systems. The phase-type... -
Modal Logic and Dioids
This paper presents results concerning the relations between a propositional modal logic (NK-logic) and the algebra of dioids. The technique of...
