A fuzzy control design case: The fuzzy PLL
The aim of this paper is to present a typical fuzzy control design case. The analyzed controlled systems are the phase-locked loops (PLL's)--classic systems realized in both analogic and digital technology. The crisp PLL devices are well known
Unstable fingering patterns of Hele-Shaw flows as a dispersionless limit of the KdV hierarchy
We show that unstable fingering patterns of two dimensional flows of viscous
fluids with open boundary are described by a dispersionless limit of the KdV
hierarchy. In this framework, the fingering instability is linked to a known
instability leading to regularized shock solutions for nonlinear waves, in
dispersive media. The integrable structure of the flow suggests a dispersive
regularization of the finite-time singularities.Comment: Published versio
Algorithms for finite rings
In this thesis we are interested in describing algorithms that answer questions arising in ring and module theory. Our focus is on deterministic polynomial-time algorithms and rings and modules that are finite.
The first main result of this thesis is a solution to the module isomorphism problem in the finite case. Further, we show how to compute a set of generators of minimal cardinality for a given finite module, and how to construct projective covers and injective hulls. We also describe tests for module simplicity, projectivity, and injectivity, and constructive tests for existence of surjective module homomorphisms between two finite modules, one of which is projective. As a negative result, we show that the problem of testing for existence of injective module homomorphisms between two finite modules, one of which is projective, is NP-complete.
The last part of the thesis is concerned with finding a good working approximation of the Jacobson radical of a finite ring, that is, a two-sided nilpotent ideal such that the corresponding quotient ring is “almost” semisimple. The notion we use to approximate semisimplicity is that of separability.ALGANTNumber theory, Algebra and Geometr
