A variety of syntactic phenomena seem to involve a ban on multiple adjacent identical objects. I develop a theory of phenomena of this type, positing a constraint on linearization at the syntax-phonology interface which prevents linearization of structurally adjacent syntactic objects with the same label. The claim is that linearization statements make reference only to node labels, not to part...

Feedback linearization is one of the major academic approaches for controlling exible joint robots. This contribution investigates the discrete-time implementation of the feedback linearization approach for a realistic threeaxis robot model. A simulation study of high speed tracking with model uncertainty is performed. It is assumed that full state measurements of the linearizing states are ava...

We show that a well-known linearization technique initially proposed for quadratic assignment problems can be generalized to a broader class of quadratic 0-1 mixed-integer problems subject to assignment constraints. The resulting linearized formulation is more compact and tighter than that obtained with a more usual linearization technique. We discuss the application of the compact linearizatio...

The main objective of the present study is to utilize a novel linearization strategy to linearize the convection terms of the quasi-one-dimensional Euler governing equations on collocated grids and to examine its shock-capturing capabilities. To avoid a pressure checkerboard problem on the collocated grids, it is necessary to utilize two velocity definitions at each cell face. Similarly, we def...

In this chapter, the basic theory of feedback linearization is presented and issues of particular relevance to process control applications are discussed. Two fundamental nonlinear controller design techniques — input-output linearization and state-space linearization — are discussed in detail. The theory also is presented for linear systems to facilitate understanding of the nonlinear results....

This paper describes a learning companion system called Integration-Kid in the domain of learning indefinite integration. A learning companion system is an intelligent tutoring system of a new breed. Apart from the teacher, a learning companion models after an additional agent, called the learning companion. The learning companion acts as a companion for the human student in learning. Thus the ...

In mystical ethics, some virtues have a foundational role in relation to other virtues; that is, other virtues are in some ways dependent on, conditional to, or rooted in them. This is a gradational concept, and therefore one can speak of foundational and more foundational among foundational virtues in mysticism. Honesty is the most foundational virtue in mystical ethics, and other virtues are ...

In this paper a global linearization of fuzzy model is given. The parameters of global linear model are obtained by instantaneous linearization of fuzzy model. The model is given in the form of the Sugeno-Takagi fuzzy model.

We propose a new approach to solve graph isomorphism using parameterized matching. To find isomorphism between two graphs, one graph is linearized, i.e., represented as a graph walk that covers all nodes and edges such that each element is represented by a parameter. Next, we match the graph linearization on the second graph, searching for a bijective function that maps each element of the firs...

This article is devoted to the synthesis of composite control for nonlinear singularly perturbed system using feedback linearization (FL). The idea of this method consists in converting the original nonlinear system into a linear one by means of state feedback and coordinate transformation. Then, methods of control theory for linear systems are used for system design. If the original nonlinear ...
