7 Concluding Remarks
As indicated in the Chapter 1, the objectives of this monograph were to present a unified framework for combining compliant motion control,...

A Homotopy Continuation Solution of the Covariance Extension Equation
Algebraic geometry plays an important role in the theory of linear systems for (at least) three reasons. First, the Laplace transform turns...

On Existence and Nonexistence of Limit Cycles for FitzHugh-Nagumo Class Models
In this paper we discuss the existence and non-existence of limit cycles of FitzHugh-Nagumo class models. The purpose is to clarify some unclear...
-
From Empirical Data to Multi-Modal Control Procedures
In this paper we study the problem of generating control programs, i.e. strings of symbolic descriptions of control-interrupt pairs (or modes) from...

Out-of-Plane Vibrations of Plane Frames
The frame vibrations studied in Chaps. 3 to 5 are for in-plane vibrations. If a plane frame acted upon by a force or horizontal ground vibration in...

Vibrations of Frames with Inclined Members
The model established for the vibration of the inclined bars in the last chapter now is applied to two- and three-bar frames with inclined members.

Collision Free Motion Planning on Graphs
A topological theory initiated in [4,5] uses methods of algebraic topology to estimate numerically the character of instabilities arising in motion...

Computing Protein Structures from Electron Density Maps: The Missing Fragment Problem
Rapid protein structure determination relies greatly on the availability of software that can automatically generate a protein model from an...

The Kernel Memory Concept – A Paradigm Shift from Conventional Connectionism
In this chapter, the general concept of kernel memory (KM) is described, which is given as the basis for not only representing the general notion of...
-
Control Applications of Sum of Squares Programming
We consider nonlinear systems with polynomial vector fields and pose two classes of system theoretic problems that may be solved by sum of squares...

LMI Optimization for Fixed-Order H∞ Controller Design
A general H∞ controller design technique is proposed for scalar linear systems, based on properties of positive polynomial matrices. The order of the...

Modelling Abstract Notions Relevant to the Mind and the Associated Modules
This chapter is devoted to the remaining four modules within the AMS, i.e. 1) attention, 2) emotion, 3) intention, and 4) intuition module, and their...

Granular Nested Causal Complexes
Causal reasoning occupies a central position in human reasoning. In many ways, causality is granular. This is true for: perception, commonsense...

Using an Adapted Classification Based on Associations Algorithm in an Activity-Based Transportation System
A lot of research has been carried out in the past by using association rules to build more accurate classifiers. The idea behind these integrated...
