Degradation effects in concrete bound ferrochrome slag under aggressive sulphuric acid and sulphate attack
Ferrochrome slag (FS) having favourable mechanical properties) may be gainfully utilised as concrete aggregate. The concrete specimens with FS,...

Impact Force Localization and Reconstruction via ADMM-based Sparse Regularization Method
In practice, simultaneous impact localization and time history reconstruction can hardly be achieved, due to the ill-posed and under-determined...

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...
