This paper discusses the disturbance estimation problem for continuous-time multivariable dynamical systems with arbitrarily relative degrees. The disturbances, which are assumed bounded, refer to the combination of the external disturbances, the nonlinearities and the model uncertainties of the system. First, the disturbance observer is proposed for multivariable minimum phase systems. Then, t...

Products between phase-type distributed random variables and any independent, positive continuous variable are studied. Their asymptotic properties established, an expectation-maximization algorithm for their effective statistical inference is derived implemented using real-world datasets. In contrast to discrete scaling studied in earlier literature, the present case closed-form formulas vario...

according to high costs of phase shifters in antenna arrays, new methods for beam steering without phase shifter were introduced. frequency diverse array (fda) concept is another approach to beam steering problem. in this structure, the subsequent antenna elements are fed with stepped discrete frequencies causing continuous scanning of space in time. so a range-angle dependent scanning is made ...

Two spatially separate Bose-Einstein condensates were prepared in an optical double-well potential. A bidirectional coupling between the two condensates was established by two pairs of Bragg beams which continuously outcoupled atoms in opposite directions. The atomic currents induced by the optical coupling depend on the relative phase of the two condensates and on an additional controllable co...
