Clocks and Insensitivity to Small Measurement Errors
This paper deals with the problem of stabilizing a system in the presence of small measurement errors. It is known that, for general stabilizable systems, there may be no possible memoryless state feedback which is robust with respect to such errors. In contrast, a precise result is given here, showing that, if a (continuous-time, finite-dimensional) system is stabilizable in any way whatsoever (even by means of a dynamic, time varying, discontinuous, feedback) then it can also be semiglobally...
Closed-loop stability of discrete linear single-variable systems
Closed-loop structure of decouplable linear multivariable systems
Considering a controllable, square, linear multivariable system, which is decouplable by static state feedback, we completely characterize in this paper the structure of the decoupled closed-loop system. The family of all attainable transfer function matrices for the decoupled closed-loop system is characterized, which also completely establishes all possible combinations of attainable finite pole and zero structures. The set of assignable poles as well as the set of fixed decoupling poles are determined,...

Colored decision process Petri nets: modeling, analysis and stability
In this paper we introduce a new modeling paradigm for developing a decision process representation called the Colored Decision Process Petri Net (CDPPN). It extends the Colored Petri Net (CPN) theoretic approach including Markov decision processes. CPNs are used for process representation taking advantage of the formal semantic and the graphical display. A Markov decision process is utilized as a tool for trajectory planning via a utility function. The main point of the CDPPN is its ability to...
Combining odometry and visual loop-closure detection for consistent topo-metrical mapping
We address the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by combining visual loop-closure detection with metrical information given by a robot odometry. The proposed algorithm extends a purely appearance-based loop-closure detection method based on bags of visual words [A. Angeli, D. Filliat, S. Doncieux and J.-A. Meyer, IEEE Transactions On Robotics, Special Issue on Visual SLAM 24 (2008) 1027–1037], which is able to detect when the robot has returned back to a previously visited...

Compact Global Chaotic Attractors of Discrete Control Systems
The paper is dedicated to the study of the problem of existence of compact global chaotic attractors of discrete control systems and to the description of its structure. We consider so called switched systems with discrete time xn+1 = fν(n)(xn), where ν : ℤ+ ⃗ {1,2,...,m}. If m ≥ 2 we give sufficient conditions (the family M := {f1,f2,...,fm} of functions is contracting in the extended sense) for the existence of a compact global chaotic attractor. We study this problem in the framework of non-autonomous...
Compactness in certain abstract function spaces with application to differential inclusions
In this note we present a result on compactness in certain Banach spaces of vector valued functions. We demonstrate an application of this result to the questions of existence of solutions of nonlinear differential inclusions on a Banach space.
Comparative analysis of noise robustness of type 2 fuzzy logic controllers
Nowadays Fuzzy logic in control applications is a well-recognized alternative, and this is thanks to its inherent advantages as its robustness. However, the Type-2 Fuzzy Logic approach, allows managing uncertainty in the model. Type-2 Fuzzy Logic has recently shown to provide significant improvement in image processing applications, however it is also important to analyze its impact in controller performance. This paper is presenting a comparison in the robustness of Interval Type-2 and Generalized...
Comparison of active control techniques over a dihedral plane
This work is devoted to the numerical comparison of four active control techniques in order to increase the pressure recovery generated by the deceleration of a slightly compressible viscous flow over a dihedral plane. It is performed by the use of vortex generator jets and intrusive sensors. The governing equations, the two-dimensional direct numerical simulation code and the flow configuration are first briefly recalled. Then, the objective of the control is carefully displayed, and the uncontrolled...

Comparison of linear control methods for an AMB system
The contactless nature of active magnetic bearings brings about many advantages over the conventional bearing while industrial real-time applications are often limited by the significant complexity of control algorithms. This paper presents the application of an LQ controller to an active magnetic bearing system (AMB). Two control strategies are presented and compared: local and global. In the first case the rotor is modelled as two separated masses located at the bearing. In the second case rotor...
Comparison of six models of antiangiogenic therapy
Six models of antiangiogenic therapy are compared and analyzed from control-theoretic point of view. All of them consist of a model of tumor growth bounded by the capacity of a vascular network developed by the tumor in the process of angiogenesis and different models of dynamics of this network, and are based on the idea proposed by Hahnfeldt et al. Moreover, we analyse optimal control problems resulting from their use in treatment protocol design.
