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... -
