The ray-shooting technique is a powerful tool for handling geometric information in Computational Geometry and Computer Graphics. This chapter... -
Intelligent Technologies for Robotic Welding
This paper discusses intelligent technologies for the robotic welding, which contains computer vision sensing, automatic programming for weld path... -
The Seam Tracking System for Submerged Arc Welding
The structure and the principle of seam tracking for submerged arc welding were introduced in this paper. The method of seam recognition with... -
3 Prototy** and control of the nonholonomic manipulator
Since a nonholonomic manipulator was theoretically designed from the viewpoint of kinematic constraints and nonlinear control, mechanical... -
Preliminary Probe of Embedded Real-Time Operating System and Its Application in Welding Control
This paper firstly introduces the concept of real-time and embedded system, then analyses the character of welding and the advantages of adopting... -
Distance to Bifurcation in Multidimensional Parameter Space: Margin Sensitivity and Closest Bifurcations
The problem of operating or designing a system with robust stability with respect to many parameters can be viewed as a geometric problem in... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Chaos and Pseudo-Randomness
We discuss the effect on finite machine implementation of chaotic system on randomness. We show that the most significant bit even for fully... -
Formation Mechanisms and Control Methods of Beam Halo-Chaos in High-Current Ion Linacs
This chapter introduces some potential applications of ion beam in high-current ion linacs, and discusses two key issues in such applications... -
Simulating a Motorcycle Driver
Controlling a riderless bicycle or motorcycle is a challenging problem because the dynamics are nonlinear and non-minimum phase. Further difficulties... -
Minimax Nonlinear Control under Stochastic Uncertainty Constraints
We consider in this paper a class of stochastic nonlinear systems in strict feedback form, where in addition to the standard Wiener process there is... -

Bifurcation Analysis with Application to Power Electronics
The problem of sudden loss of stability (more precisely, sudden change of operating behaviour) is frequently encountered in power electronics. A... -
Local Robustness of Bifurcation Stabilization with Applications to Jet Engine Control
Local robustness of bifurcation stabilization is studied for parameterized nonlinear systems of which the linearized system possesses either a simple...
