In this contribution we study partial orders in the set of zero-sum arrays. Concretely, these partial orders relate to local and global hierarchy and dominance theories. The exact relation between hierarchy and dominance curves is explained. Based on this investigation we design a new approach for measuring dominance or stated otherwise, power structures, in networks. A new type of Lorenz curve...

The separated electromagnetic responses RL(q, ω) and RT (q, ω) for inclusive electron scattering off nuclei are studied within a functional scheme.

This paper proposes the dynamic window approach to reactive collision avoidance for mobile robots equipped with synchro-drives. The approach is derived directly from the motion dynamics of the robot and is therefore particularly well-suited for robots operating at high speed. It di ers from previous approaches in that the search for commands controlling the translational and rotational velocity...

The stability of discrete-time systems with time varying delay in the state can be analyzed by using a discrete-time extension of the classical Lyapunov-Krasovskii approach. In the networked control systems domain a similar delay stability problem is treated using a switched system transformation approach. The paper aims to establish a relation between the switched system transformation approac...
