Abstract book
Welcome at the International Conference on Differential and Difference Equations
& Applications 2015.
The main aim of this conference is to promote, encourage, cooperate, and bring
together researchers in the fields of differential and difference equations. All areas
of differential & difference equations will be represented with special emphasis on
applications. It will be mathematically enriching and socially exciting event.
List of registered participants consists of 169 persons from 45 countries.
The five-day scientific program runs from May 18 (Monday) till May 22, 2015
(Friday). It consists of invited lectures (plenary lectures and invited lectures in
sections) and contributed talks in the following areas:
Ordinary differential equations,
Partial differential equations,
Numerical methods and applications, other topics
Time-Delay Systems
Time delay is very often encountered in various technical systems, such as electric, pneumatic and hydraulic networks, chemical processes, long transmission lines, robotics, etc. The existence of pure time lag, regardless if it is present in the control or/and the state, may cause undesirable system transient response, or even instability. Consequently, the problem of controllability, observability, robustness, optimization, adaptive control, pole placement and particularly stability and robustness stabilization for this class of systems, has been one of the main interests for many scientists and researchers during the last five decades
Quasi-optimal robust stabilization of control systems
In this paper, we investigate the problem of semi-global minimal time robust
stabilization of analytic control systems with controls entering linearly, by
means of a hybrid state feedback law. It is shown that, in the absence of
minimal time singular trajectories, the solutions of the closed-loop system
converge to the origin in quasi minimal time (for a given bound on the
controller) with a robustness property with respect to small measurement noise,
external disturbances and actuator noise
Modeling, analysis and control of robot-object nonsmooth underactuated Lagrangian systems: A tutorial overview and perspectives
International audienceSo-called robot-object Lagrangian systems consist of a class of nonsmooth underactuated complementarity Lagrangian systems, with a specific structure: an "object" and a "robot". Only the robot is actuated. The object dynamics can thus be controlled only through the action of the contact Lagrange multipliers, which represent the interaction forces between the robot and the object. Juggling, walking, running, hopping machines, robotic systems that manipulate objects, tapping, pushing systems, kinematic chains with joint clearance, crawling, climbing robots, some cable-driven manipulators, and some circuits with set-valued nonsmooth components, belong this class. This article aims at presenting their main features, then many application examples which belong to the robot-object class, then reviewing the main tools and control strategies which have been proposed in the Automatic Control and in the Robotics literature. Some comments and open issues conclude the article
