Abstract: Mathematical models are developed and used to study the properties of complex systems in just about every area of applied science and engineering. Information on the system being modeled is, in general, incomplete, so that ...

Abstract: Model uncertainty, if ignored, can seriously degrade the performance of an otherwise well-designed control system. If the level of this uncertainty is extreme, the system may even be driven to instability. In the context ...

Abstract: The dynamic response of a radio-frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system to a time-varying electrostatic force is optimized to enhance robustness to variations in material properties and geometry. ...
