In this paper, the robust stabilization of asymptotically null-controllable linear systems via bounded controls is revisited. Based on the notion of “converging-input bounded-state” stability rather than “small-input small-state” stability, the complicated computations of perturbation bounds appeared in Sussmann et al (1994) are avoided. With the suggested method, a robust stabilizing control l...

We show how to perform reversible universal quantum computation on a translationally invariant pure state, using only global operations based on next-neighbor interactions. We do not need not to break the translational symmetry of the state at any time during the computation. Since the proposed scheme fulfills the locality condition of a quantum cellular automata, we present a reversible quantu...

Article presents results of study on possibility of increasing the efficiency of drilling directional straight sections of wells using screw downhole motors (SDM) with a combined method of drilling with rotation of drilling string (DS). Goal is to ensure steady-state operation of SDM with simultaneous rotation of DS by reducing the amplitude of oscillations with adjusting the parameters of dril...
