This paper presents a unified and systematic assessment of ten position control strategies for a hydraulic servo system with single-ended cylinder driven by a proportional directional control valve. We aim at identifying those methods that achieve better tracking, have a low sensitivity to system uncertainties, and offer a good balance between development effort and end results. A formal approa...

Benjamini, Pemantle, and Peres constructed nearest neighbor processes which have predictability profiles that decay faster than that of the simple random walk. Häggström and Mossel found processes with even faster decaying predictability profiles. We prove that rate of decay achieved by Häggström and Mossel is optimal.

microgrids are small-scale, low voltage (lv) power networks which employ renewable distribution energy resources (ders) with power electronic interfaces (peis). microgrids as single controlled units and active distribution networks require flexible control systems to ensure reliable and secure operation in different modes. these various operations of microgrid cause variations in voltage and fr...

Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET) can be considered as a class of unstructured networks created by a number of autonomous wireless and sensor nodes. The inherent characteristics of such networks have made specific applications, such as multimedia transfer and challenging. Basically, the functionality of a node and very few resources directly affect the delivery of packets which depends on the ...

due to increasing growth of air traffic, it is very important to have a reliable air traffic control system. usually secondary surveillance radar systems are employed for this task. in this paper, a new approach is presented to identify interrogators location of this system. the proposed method works passively and uses just a single receiver. this goal has been reached using angle and time diff...

We prove that in order to communicate independent sources between various users over an unknown medium to within various distortion levels, it is sufficient to consider source-channel separation based architectures: architectures which first compress the sources to within the corresponding distortion levels followed by reliable communication over the unknown medium.

The problem of synchronization (consensus) in nonlinearly coupled network is addressed. The agents of the network are assumed to identical and linear, however, they may have arbitrary order and be unstable. The interaction topology may switch and the couplings are uncertain, assumed only to satisfy conventional quadratic constraints. We offer easily verifiable synchronization criteria, based on...
