Abstract: Service loading imposed on engineering structures is often arbitrary or nonproportional. The paper presents an investigation of examining the effects of proportional and nonproportional loadings ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new robust decentralized variable structure control (DVSC) to stabilize a class of perturbed nonlinear large-scale systems. Only the bounds of perturbations, disturbances and ...

Abstract: Based on the concept of variable structure control, this paper investigates the local state covariance assignment problem for stochastic large-scale systems. By using the invariance property of ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new design technique of decentralized robust controllers for a class of uncertain interconnected system is provided. The interconnection matrices and the uncertainties of the ...

Abstract: Variable structure control (VSC) design in multi-input discrete-time systems has two main difficulties: one is the satisfaction of the hitting condition and the other is the handle of the state ...

Abstract: Camera technology has evolved rapidly over the last decade; photo quality continues to improve while cameras are getting smaller, more rugged, and cheaper. One outcome of this technological progress is that cameras can now ...
