A Appendix: Introduction to Stochastic Differential Equations
In this appendix we bring some basic results concerning stochastic differential equations of the Ito type which systems with state-multiplicative... -
7 Discrete-time Systems: Control and Luenberger-type Filtering
In this chapter we bring the discrete-time counterpart of Chapter 2 where we solve the state-feedback control and filtering problems with the aid of... -
3 Continuous-time Systems: General Filtering
In this chapter we bring the solution of the continuous-time stationary filtering using a general-type filter [45], [41]. Recently, the solution of... -
Characterisation of the Growth Mechanism during PECVD of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
The growth mechanism of multiwalled carbon nanotubes has been a subject of considerable research interest. Published results show that nanotubes may... -
Exciton Complexes in Self-Assembled In(Ga)As/GaAs Quantum Dots

Quantum-Dot Lasers
The reduction of the active region of semiconductor lasers to quasi-zero dimensions has different effects on static and dynamic laser parameters as... -
Dephasing Processes and Carrier Dynamics in (In,Ga)As Quantum Dots
In this contribution the dynamics of the optically induced interband polarization in (In,Ga)As/(Ga,Al)As quantum dots is reviewed, following the... -
Bifurcations of Control Systems: A View from Control Flows
The purpose of this paper is to discuss bifurcation problems for control systems viewing them as dynamical systems, i.e., as control flows. Here open... -
Stabilization via Polynomial Lyapunov Function
In this paper we summarize some recent results on local state feedback stabilization of a nonlinear system via a center manifold approach. A... -
Towards a Sampled-Data Theory for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control
This paper considers the stability, robustness and output feedback problem for sampled-data nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC). Sampled-data... -
9 Discrete-time Systems: Tracking Control
A method for solving the deterministic discrete-time tracking problems with preview has been introduced in [17]. Similarly to the deterministic... -
Hard Amorphous Hydrogenated Carbon Films and Alloys
Hard hydrogenated amorphous carbon films are presently being used in a wide variety of applications as protective coatings. The properties of the... -
Modeling of the Transport Properties of Diamond Radiation Sensors
A fully quantitative model of electronic transport in polycrystalline chemical vapour deposited (pCVD) diamond sensors is presented, predicting the... -
Raman Spectra and Structure of sp 2 Carbon-Based Materials: Electron–Phonon Coupling, Vibrational Dynamics and Raman Activity
We focus on several common features that dominate the Raman spectra of carbon materials whenever delocalised π electrons are present. A molecular... -
The Role of Hydrogen in the Electronic Structure of Amorphous Carbon: An Electron Spectroscopy Study
Two processes are examined by electron spectroscopy techniques, namely hydrogen incorporation into amorphous carbon (a-C) and hydrogen evolution from... -
Nucleation Process of CVD Diamond on Molybdenum Substrates
Nucleation is a critical step of diamond growth by chemical vapour deposition (CVD), and its control is essential for optimising the properties of... -
5 Continuous-time Systems: Static Output-feedback
The static output-feedback problem has attracted the attention of many in the past [5], [111] and [100]. The main advantage of the static... -
