This paper presents a theoretical approach to implementation of the “Multi-realization of nonlinear MIMO systems”. This method aims to find state-variable realization for a set of systems, sharing as many parameters as possible. In this paper a special nonlinear multi-realization problem, namely the multi-realization of feedback linearizable nonlinear systems is considered and an algorithm for ...

The design methodology and realization of nanocomposite films aiming for mechanical (superhardness, toughness) and functional (optical, microelectronic) properties were discussed in this paper. Superhard TiCrCN and nc-TiN/a-SiNx films and super-tough nc-TiC/a-C(Al) films were prepared through co-sputtering method by optimal design of microstructure. The nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si) passivate...

Despite significant advances in surface micromachining technology, stiction remains a key problem, severely limiting the realization Ž . and reliability of many micro-electro-mechanical systems MEMS devices. In this article, we focus on self-assembled monolayers as release and anti-stiction coatings for MEMS. Their formation mechanism, the microstructure coating process, and the characteristics...

Important physical properties such as yield strength, elastic modulus, and thermal conductivity depend on the material microstructure. Realization of optimal microstructures is important for hardware components in aerospace applications where there is a need to optimize material properties for improved performance. Microstructures can be tailored through controlled deformation or heat treatment...

We would like to congratulate Jianqing Fan with an excellent and well written survey of some of the literature in this area. We will here focus on some of the issues which are at the reserach frontiers in financial econometrics but are not covered in the survey. Most importantly, we consider the estimation of actual volatility. Related to this is the realization that financial data is actually ...
