Behavioral systems theory: A survey

Eva Zerz (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We survey the so-called behavioral approach to systems and control theory, which was founded by J. C. Willems and his school. The central idea of behavioral systems theory is to put the focus on the set of trajectories of a dynamical system rather than on a specific set of equations modelling the underlying phenomenon. Moreover, all signal components are treated on an equal footing at first, and their partition into inputs and outputs is derived from the system law, in a way that admits several...

Bellman approach to some problems in harmonic analysis

Alexander Volberg (2001/2002)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

The stochastic optimal control uses the differential equation of Bellman and its solution - the Bellman function. Recently the Bellman function proved to be an efficient tool for solving some (sometimes old) problems in harmonic analysis.

Beta fuzzy logic systems approximation properties in the mimo case

Adel Alimi, Radhia Hassine, Mohamed Selmi (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Many researches have been interested in the approximation properties of Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLS), which, like neural networks, can be seen as approximation schemes. Almost all of them tackled the Mamdani fuzzy model, which was shown to have many interesting approximation features. However, only in few cases the Sugeno fuzzy model was considered. In this paper, we are interested in the zero-order Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) Sugeno fuzzy model with Beta membership functions. This leads to Beta...

Bilateral polynomial equations with unimodular right-hand-side matrices

Tadeusz Kaczorek (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of a solution to some bilateral polynomial matrix equations with unimodular right-hand-side matrices. A procedure for the computation of the solution is derived and illustrated by a numerical example. Two examples of applications of bilateral polynomial matrix equations are presented.

Bilinear system as a modelling framework for analysis of microalgal growth

Štěpán Papáček, Sergej Čelikovský, Dalibor Štys, Javier Ruiz (2007)

Kybernetika

A mathematical model of the microalgal growth under various light regimes is required for the optimization of design parameters and operating conditions in a photobioreactor. As its modelling framework, bilinear system with single input is chosen in this paper. The earlier theoretical results on bilinear systems are adapted and applied to the special class of the so-called intermittent controls which are characterized by rapid switching of light and dark cycles. Based on such approach, the following...

Bio-inspired decentralized autonomous robot mobile navigation control for multi agent systems

Alejandro Rodriguez-Angeles, Luis-Fernando Vazquez Chavez (2018)

Kybernetika

This article proposes a decentralized navigation controller for a group of differential mobile robots that yields autonomous navigation, which allows reaching a certain desired position with a specific desired orientation, while avoiding collisions with dynamic and static obstacles. The navigation controller is constituted by two control loops, the so-called external control loop is based on crowd dynamics, it brings autonomous navigation properties to the system, the internal control loop transforms...

Block-based physical modeling with applications in musical acoustics

Rudolf Rabenstein, Stefan Petrausch (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Block-based physical modeling is a methodology for modeling physical systems with different subsystems. Each subsystem may be modeled according to a different paradigm. Connecting systems of diverse nature in the discrete-time domain requires a unified interconnection strategy. Such a strategy is provided by the well-known wave digital principle, which had been introduced initially for the design of digital filters. It serves as a starting point for the more general idea of blockbased physical modeling,...

Boolean Biology: Introducing Boolean Networks and Finite Dynamical Systems Models to Biology and Mathematics Courses

R. Robeva, B. Kirkwood, R. Davies (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Since the release of the Bio 2010 report in 2003, significant emphasis has been placed on initiating changes in the way undergraduate biology and mathematics courses are taught and on creating new educational materials to facilitate those changes. Quantitative approaches, including mathematical models, are now considered critical for the education of the next generation of biologists. In response, mathematics departments across the country have initiated changes to their introductory calculus sequence,...

Bottom-up learning of hierarchical models in a class of deterministic POMDP environments

Hideaki Itoh, Hisao Fukumoto, Hiroshi Wakuya, Tatsuya Furukawa (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The theory of partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) is a useful tool for developing various intelligent agents, and learning hierarchical POMDP models is one of the key approaches for building such agents when the environments of the agents are unknown and large. To learn hierarchical models, bottom-up learning methods in which learning takes place in a layer-by-layer manner from the lowest to the highest layer are already extensively used in some research fields such as hidden...
