Abstract: This paper treats the minimal time control problem for two second order pulse-width-modulated sampled-data systems, one with a double integrator type plant and one with a plant described by an ...

Abstract: It is shown in this paper that under a transformation which maps the state space of a system onto a sequence space in a one-to-one manner, time-optimal discrete regulator systems with different ...

Abstract: A robust approach for approximately solving reliability-based optimal design problems, for series structural systems, is developed. The approach reformulates the problems by replacing reliability terms with deterministic ...
