Three-parametric robot manipulators with parallel rotational axes

Ján Bakša (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper deals with asymptotic motions of 3-parametric robot manipulators with parallel rotational axes. To describe them we use the theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras. An example of such motions are motions with the zero Coriolis accelerations. We will show that there are asymptotic motions with nonzero Coriolis accelerations. We introduce the notions of the Klein subspace, the Coriolis subspace and show their relation to asymptotic motions of robot manipulators. The asymptotic motions are...

Time delays in proliferation and apoptosis for solid avascular tumour

Urszula Foryś, Mikhail Kolev (2003)

Banach Center Publications

The role of time delays in solid avascular tumour growth is considered. The model is formulated in terms of a reaction-diffusion equation and mass conservation law. Two main processes are taken into account-proliferation and apoptosis. We introduce time delay first in underlying apoptosis only and then in both processes. In the absence of necrosis the model reduces to one ordinary differential equation with one discrete delay which describes the changes of tumour radius. Basic properties of the...

Time minimal control of batch reactors

B. Bonnard, G. Launay (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations


In this article we consider a control system modelling a batch reactor in which three species X1, X2, X3 are reacting according to the scheme X1 → X2 → X3, each reaction being irreversible. The control is the temperature T of the reactions or the derivative of this temperature with respect to time. The terminal constraint is to obtain a given concentration of the product X2 at the end of the batch. The objective of our study is to introduce and to apply all the mathematical tools to compute the...

Timed Petri-net based formulation and an algorithm for the optimal scheduling of batch plants

Tianlong Gu, Parisa Bahri, Guoyong Cai (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The effective scheduling of operations in batch plants has a great potential for high economic returns, in which the formulation and an optimal solution algorithm are the main issues of study. Petri nets have proven to be a promising technique for solving many difficult problems associated with the modelling, formal analysis, design and coordination control of discrete-event systems. One of the major advantages of using a Petri-net model is that the same model can be used for the analysis of behavioural...

Time-domain and parametric L 2 -properties corresponding to Popov inequality

Mihail Voicu, Octavian Pastravanu (2002)

Kybernetika

For Popov’s frequency-domain inequality a general solution is constructed in L 2 , which relies on the strict positive realness of a generating function. This solution allows revealing time-domain properties, equivalent to the fulfilment of Popov’s inequality in the frequency-domain. Particular aspects occurring in the dynamics of the linear subsystem involved in Popov’s inequality are further explored for step response, as representing a usual characterization in control system analysis. It is also...
