Multivariable Scaling for the Anomalous Hall Effect
We derive a general scaling relation for the anomalous Hall effect in
ferromagnetic metals involving multiple competing scattering mechanisms,
described by a quadratic hypersurface in the space spanned by the partial
resistivities. We also present experimental findings, which show strong
deviation from previously found scaling forms when different scattering
mechanism compete in strength but can be nicely explained by our theory

Variance-constrained multiobjective control and filtering for nonlinear stochastic systems: A survey
The multiobjective control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with variance constraints are surveyed. First, the concepts of nonlinear stochastic systems are recalled along with the introduction of some recent advances. Then, the covariance control theory, which serves as a practical method for multi-objective control design as well as a foundation for linear system theory, is reviewed comprehensively. The multiple design requirements frequently applied in engineering practice for the use of evaluating system performances are introduced, including robustness, reliability, and dissipativity. Several design techniques suitable for the multi-objective variance-constrained control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems are discussed. In particular, as a special case for the multi-objective design problems, the mixed H 2 / H ∞ control and filtering problems are reviewed in great detail. Subsequently, some latest results on the variance-constrained multi-objective control and filtering problems for the nonlinear stochastic systems are summarized. Finally, conclusions are drawn, and several possible future research directions are pointed out
Disturbance Observer-based Robust Control and Its Applications: 35th Anniversary Overview
Disturbance Observer has been one of the most widely used robust control
tools since it was proposed in 1983. This paper introduces the origins of
Disturbance Observer and presents a survey of the major results on Disturbance
Observer-based robust control in the last thirty-five years. Furthermore, it
explains the analysis and synthesis techniques of Disturbance Observer-based
robust control for linear and nonlinear systems by using a unified framework.
In the last section, this paper presents concluding remarks on Disturbance
Observer-based robust control and its engineering applications.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure
