This monograph provides the first up-to-date and self-contained presentation of a recently discovered mathematical structure-the Schrodinger-Virasoro algebra.
This book summarizes the main achievements of the EC funded 6th Framework Program project COFCLUO - Clearance of Flight Control Laws Using Optimization.
With contributions from a team of leading experts, this volume provides a comprehensive survey of recent achievements in our scientific understanding of evolution.
This research monograph summarizes solutions to reconfigurable fault-tolerant control problems for nonlinear dynamical systems that are based on the fault-hiding principle.
Content protection and digital rights management (DRM) are fields that receive a lot of attention: content owners require systems that protect and maximize their revenues; consumers want backwards compatibility, while they fear that content owners will spy on their viewing habits; and academics are afraid that DRM may be a barrier to knowledge sharing.
Supervision, condition-monitoring, fault detection, fault diagnosis and fault management play an increasing role for technical processes and vehicles in order to improve reliability, availability, maintenance and lifetime.
The origin ofPASRO (Trademark ofBIOMATIK GmbH, Freiburg, FRG) was a set of pro- cedures for performing arithmetic on geometric data types and for coordinate transforma- tion for study and teaching purposes, developed as a base for high level robot programming.
Since their introduction in the mid 1950s, the filtering techniques developed by Kalman, and by Kalman and Bucy have been widely known and widely used in all areas of applied sciences.
Energy exchange is a major foundation of the dynamics of physical systems, and, hence, in the study of complex multi-domain systems, methodologies that explicitly describe the topology of energy exchanges are instrumental in structuring the modeling and the computation of the system's dynamics and its control.
In operations research and computer science it is common practice to evaluate the performance of optimization algorithms on the basis of computational results, and the experimental approach should follow accepted principles that guarantee the reliability and reproducibility of results.
Due to the rapid growth of digital communication and electronic data exchange, information security has become a crucial issue in industry, business, and administration.
Lectures on Non-linear Plasma Kinetics is an introduction to modern non-linear plasma physics showing how many of the techniques of modern non-linear physics find applications in plasma physics and how, in turn, the results of this research find applications in astrophysics.
In today's world, data must be sent around the world cheaply and securely, and that requires origin authentication, integrity protection, and confidentiality - the recipient of a message should be able to ascertain who sent the message, be sure that the message has not been changed en route, and be sure that the data arrives without having been read by anyone else.
This Festschrift, published on the occasion of the sixtieth birthday of Yutaka - mamoto ('YY' as he is occasionally casually referred to), contains a collection of articles by friends, colleagues, and former Ph.
th This volume is an edition of the papers selected from the 13 International Conference on Advanced Robotics, ICAR 2007, held in Jeju, Korea, August 22-25, 2007, with the theme: "e;Viable Robotics Service to Human.
In view of the rapid changes in requirements, it has became necessary to place at the reader's disposal a book dealing with basic and advanced concepts and techniques for the monitoring and control of chemical and biochemical processes, as well as with the aspects of the implementation of these different robust techniques.
One of the most important and challenging problems in control is the derivation of systematic tools for the computation of controllers for constrained nonlinear systems that can guarantee closed-loop stability, feasibility, and optimality with respect to someperformance index.
In order to allow the application of the theory from all the three volumes also to processes in combustion engines a systematic set of internally consistent state equations for diesel fuel gas and liquid valid in broad range of changing pressure and temperature are provided also in Volume 3.
Statistical Methods in Quantum Optics 2 - Non-Classical Fields continues the development of the methods used in quantum optics to treat open quantum systems and their fluctuations.
In this book, the reader is introduced to a variety of problem statements in classical optimal control, in optimal control problems with non-scalar performance criteria, and in optimal estimation and filtering.
Psychoacoustics - Facts and Models offers a unique, comprehensive summary of information describing the processing of sound by the human hearing system.
The study of the magnetic fields of the Earth and Sun, as well as those of other planets, stars, and galaxies, has a long history and a rich and varied literature, including in recent years a number of review articles and books dedicated to the dynamo theories of these fields.
