In this paper disturbance decoupling problem for switched linear systems is formulated under a geometrical point of view. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem with standardizable condition to be solvable are given. Key–Words: Disturbance decoupling, switched linear systems, invariant subspaces.

The vestibular coriolis (or "cross-coupling") effect is traditionally explained by cross-coupled angular vectors, which, however, do not explain the differences in perceptual disturbance under different acceleration conditions. For example, during head roll tilt in a rotating chair, the magnitude of perceptual disturbance is affected by a number of factors, including acceleration or deceleratio...

BACKGROUND The increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic compared to non-diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. Whether this age-related reduction applies to CVD risk factors, and whether it is limited to established diabetes mellitus (DM) or also applies to pre-diabetic conditions are not well known. METHODS Using a cross-sectional design we compared the strength of t...

In this paper, active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) approach is used to stabilize a 2×2 system of first-order linear hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) subject to a boundary input disturbance. Disturbance attenuation is achieved with the designed controller, and the resulting closed-loop control system admits a unique solution, which could tend to any arbitrary vicinity of ...

This paper considers the problem of disturbance tolerance/rejection for a family of linear systems subject to actuator saturation and L2 disturbances. For a given set of linear feedback gains, a given switching scheme and a given bound on the L2 norm of the disturbances, conditions are established in terms of linear or bilinear matrix inequalities under which the resulting switched system is bo...
