Algebraic geometric methods for the stabilizability and reliability of multivariable and of multimode systems
The extent to which feedback can alter the dynamic characteristics (e.g., instability, oscillations) of a control system, possibly operating in one or more modes (e.g., failure versus nonfailure of one or more components) is examined
Ruelle zeta function from field theory
We propose a field-theoretic interpretation of Ruelle zeta function, and show
how it can be seen as the partition function for theory when an unusual
gauge fixing condition on contact manifolds is imposed. This suggests an
alternative rephrasing of a conjecture due to Fried on the equivalence between
Ruelle zeta function and analytic torsion, in terms of homotopies of Lagrangian
submanifolds.Comment: Accepted manuscript. Exposition improvements. 30 page
New Approaches in Automation and Robotics
The book New Approaches in Automation and Robotics offers in 22 chapters a collection of recent developments in automation, robotics as well as control theory. It is dedicated to researchers in science and industry, students, and practicing engineers, who wish to update and enhance their knowledge on modern methods and innovative applications. The authors and editor of this book wish to motivate people, especially under-graduate students, to get involved with the interesting field of robotics and mechatronics. We hope that the ideas and concepts presented in this book are useful for your own work and could contribute to problem solving in similar applications as well. It is clear, however, that the wide area of automation and robotics can only be highlighted at several spots but not completely covered by a single book
