Mixed control of flexible structures.
Mixed type semicontinuous differential inclusions in Banach spaces
We consider a class of differential inclusions in (nonseparable) Banach spaces satisfying mixed type semicontinuity hypotheses and prove the existence of solutions for a problem with state constraints. The cases of dissipative type conditions and with time lag are also studied. These results are then applied to control systems.

Model following control system with time delays
Design of model following control system (MFCS) for nonlinear system with time delays and disturbances is discussed. In this paper, the method of MFCS will be extended to nonlinear system with time delays. We set the nonlinear part of the controlled object as , and show the bounded of internal states by separating the nonlinear part into . Some preliminary numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Model-free reconfiguration mechanism for fault tolerance
The problem of fault tolerant control is studied from the behavioral point of view. In this mathematical framework, the concept of interconnection among the variables describing the system is a key point. The problem is that the behavior we intend to control is not known. Therefore, we are interested in designing a fault accommodation scheme for an unknown behavior through an appropriate behavioral interconnection. Here we deal simply with the trajectories that are generated by the system in real...
Modeling of permanent magnet linear generator and state estimation based on sliding mode observer: A wave energy system application
This paper synopsis a new solution for Permanent Magnets Linear Generator (PMLG) state estimation subject to bounded uncertainty. Therefore, a PMLG modeling method is presented based on an equivalent circuit, wherein a mathematical model of the generator adapted to wave energy conversion is established. Then, using the Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization and a Lyapunov function, this system's Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) design method is developed. Consequently, the proposed observer can...
Modelling and control of an omnidirectional mobile manipulator
A new approach to control an omnidirectional mobile manipulator is developed. The robot is considered to be an individual agent aimed at performing robotic tasks described in terms of a displacement and a force interaction with the environment. A reactive architecture and impedance control are used to ensure reliable task execution in response to environment stimuli. The mechanical structure of our holonomic mobile manipulator is built of two joint manipulators mounted on a holonomic vehicle. The...

Modulating element method in the identification of a generalized dynamical system
In this paper the identification of generalized linear dynamical differential systems by the method of modulating elements is presented. The dynamical system is described in the Bittner operational calculus by an abstract linear differential equation with constant coefficients. The presented general method can be used in the identification of stationary continuous dynamical systems with compensating parameters and for certain nonstationary compensating or distributed parameter systems.
Monitoring of chlorine concentration in drinking water distribution systems using an interval estimator
This paper describes the design of an interval observer for the estimation of unmeasured quality state variables in drinking water distribution systems. The estimator utilizes a set bounded model of uncertainty to produce robust interval bounds on the estimated state variables of the water quality. The bounds are generated by solving two differential equations. Hence the numerical efficiency is sufficient for on-line monitoring of the water quality. The observer is applied to an exemplary water...
Monomial subdigraphs of reachable and controllable positive discrete-time systems
A generic structure of reachable and controllable positive linear systems is given in terms of some characteristic components (monomial subdigraphs) of the digraph of a non-negative a pair. The properties of monomial subdigraphs are examined and used to derive reachability and controllability criteria in a digraph form for the general case when the system matrix may contain zero columns. The graph-theoretic nature of these criteria makes them computationally more efficient than their known equivalents....
Motion planning and feedback control for a unicycle in a way point following task: The VFO approach
This paper is devoted to the way point following motion task of a unicycle where the motion planning and the closed-loop motion realization stage are considered. The way point following task is determined by the user-defined sequence of waypoints which have to be passed by the unicycle with the assumed finite precision. This sequence will take the vehicle from the initial state to the target state in finite time. The motion planning strategy proposed in the paper does not involve any interpolation...
Motion representations for the Lafferriere-Sussmann algorithm for nilpotent control systems
In this paper, an extension of the Lafferriere-Sussmann algorithm of motion planning for driftless nilpotent control systems is analyzed. It is aimed at making more numerous admissible representations of motion in the algorithm. The representations allow designing a shape of trajectories joining the initial and final configuration of the motion planning task. This feature is especially important in motion planning in a cluttered environment. Some natural functions are introduced to measure the shape...
