This paper considers the conversion problem from unstructured linear time-invariant (LTI) controllers to observer-structured LTI , whose structure is similar but not exactly same as so-called “Luenberger observer–based controllers,” for parameter-varying (LPV) plant systems. In contrast Luenberger controllers, can be defined and constructed even if systems are given LPV problem, state-space mat...

This paper presents kinematics-structured neural networks (KS-NN) for the lateral speed estimation of vehicles. The internal structure is designed to incorporate kinematic principles, enhancing physical explainability and generalization capacity. Both training method are devised better performance. Various linear nonlinear variants our estimator assessed accuracy robustness. approach validated ...

In this paper we review the two main approaches to the problem of Malmquist bias which have been adopted in the cosmology literature, and show how these two formulations of the problem represent fundamentally different views of the nature of probability. We discuss the assumptions upon which both approaches are based and indicate some of their limitations. In particular we identify a basic flaw...

This paper proposes a framework for benchmarking European co-operative banks and the rationalization of their operational activities. The analysis is based on the Luenberger productivity indicator. A key advantage of this method is that it allows for both input contraction and output expansion in determining relative efficiencies and productivity changes. Benchmarks are provided for improving t...

The objective of this paper is to propose an approach to robust stabilization of systems which are composed of linear subsystems coupled by nonlinear time-varying interconnections satisfying quadratic constraints. The proposed algorithms, which are formulated within the convex optimization framework, employ linear dynamic feedback structure involving local Luenberger-type observers. It is also ...

In this article we examine the effects of undesirable outputs on the Malmquist TFP indices. Our empirical work uses an unbalanced panel which covers 796 utility and non-utility coal-fired power plants in China during 1996-2002. In order to meet the requirement of a balanced panel for calculating the Malmquist indices, an innovative fake unit approach has been introduced. Our final results show ...

The purposed-the main purpose of this study is to look at the development of efficiency and productivity in the military hospital sector of Tehran province, by applying a nonparametric method. Design/methodology/approach- The study applied the nonparametric method to assess the efficiency of military hospitals service in Iran, Tehran, over the period 2013-2016. Utilizing non-parametric me...

–In this paper, first the transfer function and block diagram model of a flight path rate demand autopilot (two loop) in pitch plane has been shown and then its state model has been developed. Then state feedback controller has been designed. Thereafter both of Luenberger and Das & Ghosal Observers (DGO) are implemented for the above said two loop autopilot. Finally the system, observer and sta...
