A theory for disturbance decoupling problems has been well developed in the area of geometric control theory. The aim of the present study is to introduce disturbance decoupling problems in a dynamic game context. For this purpose, techniques from geometric control theory are applied. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the solvability of the disturbance decoupling problems intr...

This paper studies the effect of decoupling on optimal investment in agriculture assuming disinvestment flexibility. Agricultural income being determined by policy processes is subject to policy uncertainty. Case study examples suggest that assuming disinvestment flexibility, decoupling increases income stability, and a higher level of investments can be achieved even with lower subsides. Incre...

The decoupling and freeze-out of energetic nuclear collisions is analysed in terms of transparent semi-classical decoupling formulae. They provide a smooth transition and generalise frequently employed instantaneous freeze-out procedures. Simple relations between the damping width and the duration of the decoupling process are presented and the implications on various physical phenomena arising...

This work is focused on the improvement of variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbine performance by means of its control structure. This kind of systems can be considered as multivariable nonlinear processes subjected to undesired interactions between variables and presenting different dynamics at different operational zones. This interaction level and the dynamics uncertainties complicate the...

Developing low-carbon agriculture requires investigating the trajectory, decoupling statuses, and driving forces of agricultural carbon emissions. This study explored the evolution of agricultural carbon emissions based on 18 kinds of major carbon emission sources in Henan Province of China, which produces approximately one-tenth of China’s total grain output. We then analyzed the relationship ...

The difficulties in detection of C13 magnetic resonance signals in organic compounds which arise from the low natural abundance and the small magnetic moment of C'3 are well known.' For complex substances of biochemical interest, further reduction in signal-to-noise ratio occurs because of extensive carbonproton spin-spin interactions. Considerable relief from these difficulties is possible in ...

This study analyzes Tianjin’s eco-efficiency trends during the period 2001–2013 and reasons for their changes, with the aim of contributing to efforts to ensure the city’s sustainable development. While eco-efficiency of all of the indicators that we analyzed showed improvements during the study period, a gap remained in comparison to the more advanced eco-efficiency observed both domestically ...

The purpose of this study is to develop a new approach in modeling and simulation of a reverse osmosis desalination system by using fractional differential equations. Using the Legendre wavelet method combined with the decoupling and quasi-linearization technique, we demonstrate the validity and applicability of our model. Examples are developed to illustrate the fractional differential techniq...

We find new decoupling limits of N = 4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) on R×S3 with gauge group SU(N). These decoupling limits lead to decoupled theories that are much simpler than the full N = 4 SYM but still contain many of its interesting features. The decoupling limits correspond to being in a near-critical region, near a point with zero temperature and critical chemical potentials. The new decoupli...

Noise on a dc power bus that results from device switching, as well as other potential mechanisms, is a primary source of many signal integrity (SI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. Surface mount technology (SMT) decoupling capacitors are commonly used to mitigate this power-bus noise. A critical design issue associated with this common practice in high-speed digital designs is ...
