It is of interest to understand the tradeoff between the communication resource comsumption and the achievable system performance in networked control systems. In this paper we explore a general framework for trade-off ...

Decentralized control methods are appealing in coordination ofmultiple vehicles due to their low demand for long-range communication and their robustness to single-point failures. An important approach in decentralized ...

Hysteresis in smart materials hinders wider applicability of such materials in actuators and sensors. In this dissertation we study modeling, identification and control of hysteresis in smart actuators. While the approaches ...

The rate-dependent hysteresis present in thin magnetostrictive actuators can be captured by a dynamic model, consisting of a Preisach operator coupled to an ordinary differential equation in an unusual way. The model ...

Hysteresis in smart materials hinders the wider applicability ofsuch materials in actuators. In this paper, a systematic approachfor coping with hysteresis is presented. The method is illustratedthrough the example of ...

This paper addresses the joint quantization and control problem for hidden Markov chains with variable-length block-coding. The aim is to understand the impact of communication bandwidth and information delay (due to ...

Symplectic Runge-Kutta schemes for the integration of general Hamiltonian systems are implicit. In practice one has to solve the implicit algebraic equations using some iterative approximation method, in which case the ...

Methods of numerical integration of ordinary differential equations exploiting the Cayley transform arise in a variety of contexts, ranging from the classical mid-point rule to symplectic and (almost) Poisson integrators, ...
