This article proposes a class of resilient state estimators for linear time-varying discrete-time systems. The dynamic equation the system is assumed to be affected by bounded process noise. As available measurements, they are potentially corrupted noise both dense and impulsive natures. latter, in addition being arbitrary its form, need not strictly bounded. In this setting, we construct estim...

We investigate several important issues regarding the random batch method (RBM) for second order interacting particle systems. first show uniform-in-time strong convergence of RBM systems under suitable contraction conditions when interaction kernels are regular. Second, we propose some variants that can have singular via a kernel splitting strategy, and numerically application such methods to ...

Macro-mixing effects in batch and semi-batch reactors are investigated by constructing 3-dimensional models using a network of zones (NoZ) discretisation. System dynamics including volume changes due to continuous feeding are successfully predicted. Detailed flow fields are calculated from phenomenological correlations which include parameters such as reactor size and configuration, impeller ty...

This dissertation has been completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the dutch institute of systems and control (disc) for graduate study. Acknowledgments This thesis is the result of four years of research carried out at the Delft Center of Systems and Control (DCSC) of the Delft University of Technology. Looking back to these years, I feel deeply indebted to several people who h...

In this paper we provide a numerical analysis of the M D N queueing system This system consists of an in nite bu er and N identical batch servers with batch capacity b It serves as a model for various types of workstations in the manufacturing context Using an approach presented by Crommelin we derive the distribution of the number of lots waiting in queue at arbitrary time instants and the dis...

In an application, where a client wants to obtain many symbols from a large database, it is often desirable to balance the load. Batch codes (introduced by Ishai et al. in STOC 2004) do exactly that: the large database is divided between many servers, so that the client has to only make a small number of queries to every server to obtain sufficient information to reconstruct all desired symbols...

The Irix 6.5 scheduling system provides intrinsic support for batch processing, including support for guaranteed access to resources and policy-based static scheduling. Long range scheduling decisions are made by Miser, a user level daemon, which reserves the resources needed by a batch job to complete its tasks. Short-term decisions are made by the kernel in accordance with the reservations es...

This paper describes a new method in pairing-based signature schemes for identifying the invalid digital signatures in a batch after batch verification has failed. The method more efficiently identifies non-trivial numbers, w, of invalid signatures in constrained sized, N , batches than previously published methods, and does not require that the verifier possess detailed knowledge of w. Our met...

Methyl propionate, also known as methyl propanoate, is a clear colourless liquid with a characteristic odour (fruity smell and taste). In this study, the formation of methyl propionate through the esterification of propionic acid and methanol was investigated in the reactive distillation system using a conventional (CBD), single feed (SF-SBD), and double feed semi-batch distillation (DF-SBD) co...
