This volume presents a well balanced combination of state-of-the-art theoretical results in the field of nonlinear controller and observer design, combined with industrial applications stemming from mechatronics, electrical, (bio–) chemical engineering, and fluid dynamics. The unique combination of results of finite as well as infinite–dimensional systems makes this book a remarkable contribution addressing postgraduates, researchers, and engineers both at universities and in industry. The contributions to this book were presented at the Symposium on Nonlinear Control and Observer Design: From Theory to Applications (SYNCOD), held September 15–16, 2005, at the University of Stuttgart, Germany. The conference and this book are dedicated to the 65th birthday of Prof. Dr.–Ing. Dr.h.c. Michael Zeitz to honor his life – long research and contributions on the fields of nonlinear control and observer design.
A history of the last 60 years of the American Jewish Committee to commemorate its centennial in 2007
A selection of papers exploring a wide spectrum of new trends in nonlinear dynamics and control, such as bifurcation control, state estimation and reconstruction, analysis of behavior and stabilities, dynamics of nonlinear neural network models, and numerical algorithms. The papers focus on new ideas and the latest developments in both theoretical and applied research topics of nonlinear control. Because many of the authors are leading researchers in their own fields, the papers presented in this volume reflect the state of the art in the areas of nonlinear dynamics and control. Many of the papers in this volume were first presented at the highly succesful ''Symposium on New Trends in Nonlinear Dynamics and Control, and Their Applications,'' held October 18-19, 2002, in Monterey, California.
Uncertain Empire examines the idea of the Cold War and its application to the writing of American history.
This monograph presents new model-based design methods for trajectory planning, feedback stabilization, state estimation, and tracking control of distributed-parameter systems governed by partial differential equations (PDEs). Flatness and backstepping techniques and their generalization to PDEs with higher-dimensional spatial domain lie at the core of this treatise. This includes the development of systematic late lumping design procedures and the deduction of semi-numerical approaches using suitable approximation methods. Theoretical developments are combined with both simulation examples and experimental results to bridge the gap between mathematical theory and control engineering practic...
The objective of the EU Nonlinear Control Network Workshop was to bring together scientists who are already active in nonlinear control and young researchers working in this field. This book presents selectively invited contributions from the workshop, some describing state-of-the-art subjects that already have a status of maturity while others propose promising future directions in nonlinear control. Amongst others, following topics of nonlinear and adaptive control are included: adaptive and robust control, applications in physical systems, distributed parameter systems, disturbance attenuation, dynamic feedback, optimal control, sliding mode control, and tracking and motion planning.
A survey book focusing on the key relationships and synergies between automatic differentiation (AD) tools and other software tools, such as compilers and parallelizers, as well as their applications. The key objective is to survey the field and present the recent developments. In doing so the topics covered shed light on a variety of perspectives. They reflect the mathematical aspects, such as the differentiation of iterative processes, and the analysis of nonsmooth code. They cover the scientific programming aspects, such as the use of adjoints in optimization and the propagation of rounding errors. They also cover "implementation" problems.
In time for Pope Francis’s new initiatives. We now have the potential to end two thousand years of hostility—will we succeed? New in paperback! With keen wisdom and a masterful understanding of history, Rabbi James Rudin, an acclaimed authority in the field of Jewish-Christian relations, provides the context necessary for Christians and Jews to recognize the critical challenges posed by the past—and the future—of their two religions. Spanning twenty centuries of controversy, horror and promise, Rudin’s narrative examines: The sources of both conflict and commonality between the two religions The need to address and redress past wrongs The agenda required to create a shared future free of bigotry It includes proven approaches for successful interreligious dialogues, including tips on session organization, project ideas and a discussion guide to enhance Christians’ and Jews’ knowledge of each other.
The first history of the development of American Jewish political conservatism and the rise of a group of Jewish intellectuals and activists known as neo conservatives. It describes their growth from the 1940s to the present and their powerful impact on American public policy, including Iraq.
Provides a compelling account of early American constitutionalism in the Founding era.
