F. M. Callier is a Professor at the Facultes Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix, Namur, Belgium and C. A. Desoer is a Professor at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. Multivariable Feedback Systems is the result •of their teaching of a first-year graduate course on multivariable feedback systems addressed to control engineers. The text covers finite-dimensional time-invariant linear ...

The notion of realization for single-input single-output nonlinear systems is studied based on a new notion of input/output equivalence. This equivalence relation aims to generalize the equivalence of linear time-invarian t systems in the sense of the equality of their transfer functions. Necessary and suÆcient conditions are given for the existence of a realization, aÆne or not. A minimal (i.e...

In this paper we examine the stability of an irrigation canal system. The system considered is a single reach of an irrigation canal which is derived from Saint-Venant’s equations. It is modelled as a system of nonlinear partial differential equations which is then linearized. The linearized system consists of hyperbolic partial differential equations. Both the control and observation operators...

this research aimed to examine the effect of sequential stimuli technique on acquisition, retention and transfer of ocular motor sequence. first sequential stimuli, time record, response error software was designed. 60 right-handed novices (15-18 years) were divided into five groups (blocked – explicit, blocked – implicit, random – explicit, random-implicit and control). all groups performed a ...

This paper deals with a discrete selfadjusting filter forming a convenient control signal from a given command signal in order to achieve the desired state of the con­ trolled variable in a finite time period. The problem consists in modelling the gradient of the modified mean square error in a transfer function form. Because of the open-loop control used in our case, the plant transfer functio...

We extend the approximate transfer function calculus of “undersnreadll linear time-varvine fLTV1 svstems introduced by W. Kozek. Our extensiog is‘ based o”n a new, generalized definition of underspread LTV svstems that does not assume finite support of the systems”’ spreading function. We establish explicit bounds on various error quantities associated with the transfer function approximation. ...

When creating transfer functions for time-varying data, it is not clear what range of values to use for classification, as data value ranges and distributions change over time. In order to generate time-varying transfer functions, we search the data for classes that have similar behavior over time, assuming that data points that behave similarly belong to the same feature. We utilize a method w...

A.S. Fraenkel introduced a new (s, t)-Wythoff’s game which is a generalization of both Wythoff’s game and a-Wythoff’s game. Four new models of a restricted version of (s, t)-Wythoff’s game, Odd-Odd (s, t)-Wythoff’s Game, Even-Even (s, t)Wythoff’s Game, Odd-Even (s, t)-Wythoff’s Game and Even-Odd (s, t)-Wythoff’s Game, are investigated. Under normal or misère play convention, all P -positions of...
