This work addresses the finite-horizon robust covariance control problem for discrete time, partially observable, linear systems affected by random zero mean noise and deterministic uncertain-but-bounded disturbances restricted to lie in what is called ellitopic uncertainty set (e.g., finite intersection of centered at origin ellipsoids/elliptic cylinders). Performance specifications are impose...

The paper proposes some robust estimators of the finite population mean. Such estimators are particularly suitable in the presence of some outlying observations. Included as special cases of our general result are robust versions of the ratio estimator and the Horvitz-Thompson estimator. The robust estimators are derived on the basis of certain predictive influence functions.

The paper introduces robust independence tests with non-asymptotically guaranteed significance levels for stochastic linear time-invariant systems, assuming that the observed outputs are synchronous, which means systems driven by jointly i.i.d. noises. Our method provides bounds type I error probabilities distributionfree, i.e., innovations can have arbitrary distributions. algorithm combines c...

This study addresses the issue of robust dynamic output feedback control (DOF) for polynomial Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems in Finite Frequency (FF) domain. Sufficient conditions designing DOF are derived terms sum squares (SOS). The proposed strategy is built FF domain to reduce conservation-generated by techniques established whole frequency In addition, there no transformation matrices o...

In this paper, a robust PID control scheme is proposed for Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) optical switches. The proposed approach is designed in a way which solves two challenging and important problems. The first one is successful reference tracking and the second is mitigating the system nonlinearities. The overall system composed of nonlinear MEMS dynamics and the PID controller is ...
