Surface parameterization is widely used in computer graphics and geometry processing. It simplifies challenging tasks such as surface registrations, morphing, remeshing and texture mapping. In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm for computing the disk conformal parameterization of simply-connected open surfaces. A double covering technique is used to turn a simply-connected open surfa...

Parameterization of cloud-radiation interactions in an atmospheric general circulation model using a stochastic approach allows for a statistical representation of cloud field geometry. Previous work indicates that the stochastic approach to cloud-radiation parameterization performs better than typical plane-parallel algorithms in situations where the horizontal cloud fraction is between 0.2 an...

in this paper, control of a non-isothermal continuous stirred tank reactor in which two parallel autocatalytic reactions take place has been addressed. the reactor shows chaotic behavior for a certain set of reactor parameters. in order to control the product concentration, an optimal state feedback controller has been designed. since concentrations of reactor species are not measured, an obser...

This paper presents a method to compute the quasi-conformal parameterization (QCMC) for a multiply-connected 2D domain or surface. QCMC computes a quasi-conformal map from a multiply-connected domain S onto a punctured disk DS associated with a given Beltrami differential. The Beltrami differential, which measures the conformality distortion, is a complexvalued function μ : S → C with supremum ...

An alternative approach for the parameterization of the air-sea momentum flux in the marine surface boundary layer was implemented into a regional coupled atmosphere-wave model. The sensitivity of the atmospheric circulation to this new parameterization was assessed and compared to two different approaches using Monte Carlo simulations. Two approaches explicitly use the sea state in the computa...

A simple add-on adaptive control algorithm is presented. It is demonstrated via example that the performance of existing missile autopilot can be improved. The algorithm involves the synthesis of parallel feedforward which guarantees that the controlled plant is almost strictly positive real (ASPR). It is proved in the paper that such a parallel feedforward always exists. The proof is based on ...

Parameterization of a 3D triangular mesh is a fundamental problem in various applications of meshes. The convex combination approach is widely used for parameterization because of its good properties, such as fast computation and one-to-one embedding. However, the approach has a drawback: most boundary triangles have high distortion in the embedding compared with interior ones. In this paper, w...

We consider analysis of nonlinear systems that can be brought into a state dependent representation known as extended linearization. Under this formulation, conventional linear analysis techniques may be adapted to study the stability, optimality, and robustness properties of nonlinear systems. When subject to system uncertainty, estimating the radius of stability for systems under extended lin...

This paper develops machinery for control of uncertain linear systems described in terms of linear fractional transformations (LFT’s) on transform variables and uncertainty blocks with primary focus on stabilization and controller parameterization. This machinery directly generalizes familiar statespace techniques. The notation of &-stability is defined as a natural type of robust stability, an...
