Introduction to Space Weather
Adverse space weather is one of the principal threats to modern human technology. Solar coronal mass ejections, large solar flares, and high-speed... -
Adaptive and Distributed Coordination Algorithms for Mobile Sensing Networks
Consider n sites evolving within a convex polygon according to one of the following interaction laws: (i) each site moves away from the closest other... -
Control of Communication Networks Using Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis of Stochastic Fluid Models
Managing and operating large scale communication networks is a challenging task and it is only expected to get worse as networks grow larger. The... -
Robust Controller Design for AQM and $\mathcal{H}^{\infty}$ -Performance Analysis
Active Queue Management (AQM) has recently been proposed in [1] to support the end-to-end congestion control for TCP traffic regulation on the... -
An Introduction to Nonlinear Fault Diagnosis with an Application to a Congested Internet Router
We aim at extending a recent linear theory on fault diagnosis [8, 9] to nonlinear systems by utilising, like Staroswiecki et al. [39], and Diop et... -
Space Weather Effects in the Upper Atmosphere: Low and Middle Latitudes
In this chapter the space weather effects in the upper atmosphere are investigated. It is discussed how space weather affects satellites and radio... -
12 Microbial Life in Brines, Evaporites and Saline Sediments: The Search for Life on Mars
When water on a planet begins to evaporate the dissolved minerals become more concentrated, form a brine, eventually precipitating out of solution... -
Flocking in Teams of Nonholonomic Agents
The motion of a group of nonholonomic mobile agents is synchronized using local control laws. This synchronization strategy is inspired by the early... -
Position and Force Tracking in Bilateral Teleoperation
A teleoperator is a dual robot system in which a remote slave robot tracks the motion of a master robot, which is, in turn, commanded by a human... -
5 Global Distribution of Subsurface Water Measured by Mars Odyssey
While the presence of water in minerals of the Martian surface has been known for many years and the storage of ground ice in the past and present... -
1 Introduction
The class of block-oriented nonlinear models includes complex models which are composed of linear dynamic systems and nonlinear static elements.... -
On the Optimization of Load Balancing in Distributed Networks in the Presence of Delay
Distributing the total computational load across available processors is referred to as load balancing in the literature. A typical distributed... -
State-Space Models for Control and Identification
In the last two decades, design and performance evaluation of efficient congestion control methods for packet-switching computer communication... -
6 The Modified Taught Data Method
In order to realize the movement of an industrial robot, the given objective trajectory is always used without any change when their coordinate... -
Optimal Control of Differential-Algebraic Inclusions
In this paper we consider the following dynamic optimization problem ( P ) governed by differential-algebraic inclusions:... -
A Continuous Control Mechanism for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
The control of uncertain nonlinear systems is a topic that continues to challenge control theoreticians. This topic is also of practical importance... -
On Impulses Induced by Singular Perturbations
The possibility that a singularly perturbed controlled dynamics generates impulses in a slow dynamics coupled to it, is investigated. A scheme for... -
10. Main sychronization
It was made clear in Chapter 9 that the second order type-II loop operates either in saturated or in unsaturated mode. In this chapter, only the main... -
4. Main synchronization
In this chapter the main synchronization of the first order PLL is discussed. At first, we perform the local stability analysis of the main... -
8. Main synchronization
In the present chapter the main synchronization of the second order type-I loop is treated. At first, the local stability analysis is presented and...
