Abstract: This paper presents a new technique for constructing Lyapunov functions for estimating the domain of asymptotic stability of nonlinear control systems. A machine program assigns figures of merit ...

Abstract: Commands are found to drive a linear system to optimally track a class of prescribed trajectories, each of which contains a point of discontinuity. The paper focuses on the guidance problem ...

Abstract: Much has been learned in the past ten years about the dynamic performance of the human operator in control tasks primarily involving visual stimuli. In many human activities, however, sight ...
