Some properties of B -operations

Bohdan Butkiewicz (2007)

Kybernetika

In the paper the problem of mathematical properties of B -operations and weak W B -operations introduced by the author for interpretation of connectives “and”, “or”, and “also” in fuzzy rules is considered. In previous author’s papers some interesting properties of fuzzy systems with these operations were shown. These operations are weaker than triangular norms used commonly for a fuzzy system described by set of rules of the type if – then. Monotonicity condition, required for triangular norms, is...

Some remarks on matrix pencil completion problems

Jean-Jacques Loiseau, Petr Zagalak, Sabine Mondié (2004)

Kybernetika

The matrix pencil completion problem introduced in [J. J. Loiseau, S. Mondié, I. Zaballa, and P. Zagalak: Assigning the Kronecker invariants to a matrix pencil by row or column completions. Linear Algebra Appl. 278 (1998)] is reconsidered and the latest results achieved in that field are discussed.

Some uniqueness and observability problems arising in the control of vibrations

Enrique Zuazua (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We discuss a control problem for the Lamé system which naturally leads to the following uniqueness problem: Given a bounded domain of 𝐑 3 , are there non-trivial solutions of the evolution Lamé system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions for which the first two components vanish? We show that such solutions do not exist when the domain is Lipschitz. However, in two space dimensions one can build easily polygonal domains in which there are eigenvibrations with the first component being identically...

Source localization and sensor placement in environmental monitoring

Alexander Khapalov (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we discuss two closely related problems arising in environmental monitoring. The first is the source localization problem linked to the question How can one find an unknown "contamination source"? The second is an associated sensor placement problem: Where should we place sensors that are capable of providing the necessary "adequate data" for that? Our approach is based on some concepts and ideas developed in mathematical control theory of partial differential equations.

Spatial compensation of boundary disturbances by boundary actuators

Larbi Afifi, Abdelhakim Chafiai, Abdelhaq El Jai (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we show how to find convenient boundary actuators, termed boundary efficient actuators, ensuring finite-time space compensation of any boundary disturbance. This is the so-called remediability problem. Then we study the relationship between this remediability notion and controllability by boundary actuators, and hence the relationship between boundary strategic and boundary efficient actuators. We also determine the set of boundary remediable disturbances, and for a boundary disturbance,...

Spatially-distributed coverage optimization and control with limited-range interactions

Jorge Cortés, Sonia Martínez, Francesco Bullo (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper presents coordination algorithms for groups of mobile agents performing deployment and coverage tasks. As an important modeling constraint, we assume that each mobile agent has a limited sensing or communication radius. Based on the geometry of Voronoi partitions and proximity graphs, we analyze a class of aggregate objective functions and propose coverage algorithms in continuous and discrete time. These algorithms have convergence guarantees and are spatially distributed with respect...
