Control of Nonlinear Systems
The book Control of Nonlinear Systems–Stability and Performance fills a crucial gap in the field of nonlinear control systems by providing a comprehensive yet accessible treatment of the subject. Unlike many existing texts that are either too complex for beginners or omit essential topics, this book strikes the right balance of mathematical rigor and practicality. The main objective of the book is to simplify and unify the existing techniques for designing and analyzing control systems for nonlinear systems. It aims to alleviate confusion and difficulty in understanding these methods, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field. By presenting ...
Monarchs and Ministers
"No one in the West knows the archives of China's last dynasty better than Professor Bartlett. Monarchs and Ministers affords us one of the first truly informed views of imperial Chinese policy-making from the inside."--Frederic Wakeman, University of California, Berkeley "Monarchs and Ministers is one of those rare works that commands unanimous assent and constitutes a breakthrough."--Pierre-Henri Durand, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris
Distributed Adaptive Consensus Control of Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems
Multi-agent systems are special networked systems full of research interest and practical sense, which are abundant in real life, ranging from mobile robot networks, intelligent transportation management, to multiple spacecraft, surveillance and monitoring. Consensus control is one of the most typical and hot research issues for multi-agent systems. Distributed Adaptive Consensus Control of Uncertain Multi-agent Systems provides innovative technologies to design and analyze distributed adaptive consensus for multi-agent systems with model uncertainties. Based on the basic graph theory and adaptive backstepping control, this monograph: · Describes the state of the art on distributed adaptive...
Optimal Event-Triggered Control Using Adaptive Dynamic Programming
Optimal Event-triggered Control using Adaptive Dynamic Programming discusses event triggered controller design which includes optimal control and event sampling design for linear and nonlinear dynamic systems including networked control systems (NCS) when the system dynamics are both known and uncertain. The NCS are a first step to realize cyber-physical systems (CPS) or industry 4.0 vision. The authors apply several powerful modern control techniques to the design of event-triggered controllers and derive event-trigger condition and demonstrate closed-loop stability. Detailed derivations, rigorous stability proofs, computer simulation examples, and downloadable MATLAB® codes are included f...
Natural Language Processing and Chinese Computing
This two volume set of LNAI 11108 and LNAI 11109 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th CCF Conference on Natural Language Processing and Chinese Computing, NLPCC 2018, held in Hohhot, China, in August 2018. The 55 full papers and 31 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 308 submissions. The papers of the first volume are organized in the following topics: conversational Bot/QA/IR; knowledge graph/IE; machine learning for NLP; machine translation; and NLP applications. The papers of the second volume are organized as follows: NLP for social network; NLP fundamentals; text mining; and short papers.
Variable Gain Control and Its Applications in Energy Conversion
The variable gain control method is a new construction technique for the control of nonlinear systems. By properly conducting state transformation that depends on the variable gains, the control design problem of nonlinear systems can be transformed into a gain construction problem, thus effectively avoiding the tedious iterative design procedure. Different from the classical backstepping method and forwarding design method, the structure of variable gain control is simpler in the sense that fewer design parameters are required, facilitating the improvement of system control performance. To highlight the learning, research, and promotion of variable gain control, Variable Gain Control and It...
Rebel Men
Masculinity, fast-changing and regularly declared to be in the throes of crisis, is attracting more popular and scholarly debate in China than ever before. At the same time, Chinese literature since 1989 has been characterized as brimming with countercultural ‘attitude’. This book probes the link between literary rebellion and manhood in China, showing how, as male writers critique the outcomes of decades of market reform, they also ask the same question: how best to be a man in the new postsocialist order? In this first full-length discussion of masculinity in post-1989 Chinese literature, Pamela Hunt offers a detailed analysis of four contemporary authors in particular: Zhu Wen, Feng T...
Education at Large
The first part of the book contains documentation of a groundbreaking exhibition held in 2007 on student activities and societal engagements during post-war Singapore 1945OCo1965 and transcripts of forums held in conjunction with it. The second half centres on oral history accounts of mostly former Chinese school students who shared about their social, cultural and political activities in complex but exciting times.Education-at-large broadens our understanding of Singapore''s educational history in the transitional period between the end of the Second World War and the country''s independence; examines the ways in which student activities and activism resonated with, and contributed to, the country''s wider social, political and cultural life, as well as the decolonisation process; and stimulates debates about Chinese education and student activism in Singapore.
Revolutionary Becomings
From the toppling of the Qing Empire in 1911 to the political campaigns and mass protests in the Mao and post-Mao eras, revolutionary upheavals characterized China’s twentieth century. In Revolutionary Becomings ̧ Ying Qian studies documentary film as an “eventful medium” deeply embedded in these upheavals and as a prism to investigate the entwined histories of media and China’s revolutionary movements. With meticulous historical excavation and attention to intermedial practices and transnational linkages, Qian discusses how early media practitioners at the turn of the twentieth century intermingled with rival politicians and warlords as well as civic and business organizations. She...
The First Shot of Surprises: 初刻拍案惊奇
" The First Shot of Surprises" 初刻拍案惊奇 or Chuke Paian Jingqi is a collection of short stories in the Ming Dynasty of China . It was written by Ling Xiaochu at the end of the Ming Dynasty . It is a collection of short stories written under the direct influence of "Sanyan, or three words", and later called "Three Words" and " Two shots (with another “The Second Shot of Surprises" with same style published later) collectively. "Three Words" refers to "Yu Shi Ming Yan, Clear Words to Understand the World", "Jing Shi Tong Yan, Warnings of the World", "Xing Shi Heng Yan, Constant Words Awakening the World", three collection of short stories in ancient China. " The First Shot of Surpri...
