Abstract: The magnitude of the impulse response of a strictly proper stable rational plant at time t is estimated to be of order 0(1/t) where the implied constant is explicitly given in terms of the ...

Abstract: Chaos can occur in linear distributed dynamical systems. Recent results of Godefroy and Shapiro show that certain linear analytic semi-groups exhibit chaotic behavior.

Abstract: The annihilation operator of the unforced quantum harmonic oscillator is chaotic.

Abstract: The acoustic response of a hard walled duct with a partially absorptive boundary condition has been modeled in state space form. The system states of this model are not directly measurable. ...

Abstract: A nonlinear compensation force for stick-slip friction is developed to supplement a proportional + derivative control law applied to a one-degree-of-freedom mechanical system. Inertial control ...

Abstract: A new methodology is presented for deriving transient response estimates for a large class of uncertain linear feedback single input/output systems, including unstable distributed parameter systems. ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the well-known condition for robust stability of systems with plant uncertainty. It is shown that the usual sufficient condition for robust stability, given in terms ...

Abstract: A new single-input single-output frequency domain stability criterion for distributed parameter systems is illustrated by application to feedback control of a Bernoulli-Euler beam. The system is ...

Abstract: One-dimensional acoustic response of ducts is a classical engineering problem. The acoustic response in a hard-walled duct with a dissipative end condition can be visualized as a combination of ...
