Abstract:

<p>The main contributions in this thesis are advances in parametric programming. The thesis is divided into three parts; theoretical advances, application areas and constrained control allocation. The first part deals with continuity properties and the structure of solutions to convex parametric quadratic and linear programs. The second part focuses on applications of parametric quadratic and linear programming in control theory. The third part deals with constrained control allocation and how parametric programming can be used to obtain explicit solutions to this problem.</p>

Abstract:

Control is a concept that has received surprisingly little attention in the philosophy of action and ethics, given its prima facie ties to freedom, responsibility, intentionality and agency more generally. In this collection I take the first step towards an account of agential control: the kind of control that agents commonly exercise over actions, events, and even other agents. In the introduction I give a sketch of the complete thesis on control: characterising agential control as consisting primarily in the restriction or guidance of some process, and secondarily in the continuous monitorin

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis work is to model the gate control theory, which explains the modulation of pain signals, with a motivation of finding new possible targets for pain treatment and to find novel control algorithms that can be used in engineering practice. The difference of the current study from the previous modeling trials is that morphologies of neurons that constitute gate control system are also included in the model by which structure-function relationship can be observed. Model of an excitable neuron is constructed and the response of the model for different perturbations are inv

Abstract:

It is often desired to have control over a process or a physical system, to cause it to behave optimally. Optimal control theory deals with analyzing and finding solutions for optimal control for a system that can be represented by a set of differential equations. This thesis examines such a system in the form of a set of matrix differential equations known as a continuous linear time-invariant system. Conditions on the system, such as linearity, allow one to find an explicit closed form finite solution that can be more efficiently computed compared to other known types of solutions. This is

We define Γ(E), a subset of C³, related to the structured singular value μ of 2x2 matrices. μ is used to analyse performance and robustness of linear feedback systems in control engineering.

We prove a Schwarz Lemma for Γ(E) when one of the points in Γ(E) is (0,0,0), then we show that in this case, the Carathéodory and Kobayashi distances between the two p

Abstract:

A standard form for linear and nonlinear perfect model following control problems is introduced, and the associated control laws developed. The error dynamics of such systems are analyzed with respect to stability of the error. The effects on the error dynamics of measurement errors and parameter variations are also analyzed, and it is seen that the perfect model following control problem is reduced to that of an error regulator. The linear problem is analyzed to show that virtually all common problems are equivalent to standard form problems through similarity transformations. In the standar

Abstract:

A digital motor controller for student lab use is designed, built, and tested. The controller uses an encoder for position measurement, and an H-bridge to drive the electromechanical plant. A user interface is created to enhance usability of the device. The user interface is able to display key parameters of the control algorithm as well as the state of the system. It is also used to modify the gains and sample rate of the control algorithm. The design of the system is refined, and 10 units are built for the EE472 Digital Controls Lab. The lab manuals for the first 4 experiments are revised to

Abstract:

In order for an aircraft to remain in stable flight, the center of gravity (CG) of an aircraft must be located in front of the center of lift (CL). As the center of gravity moves rearward, pitch stability decreases and the sensitivity to control input increases. This increase in sensitivity is known as pitch gain variance. Minimizing the pitch gain variance results in an aircraft with consistent handling characteristics across a broad range of center of gravity locations. This thesis focuses on the development and testing of an open loop computer simulation model and a closed loop control sy

Abstract:

In this thesis, autopilots are developed for missiles with moderate dynamics and stationary targets. The aim is to use the designs in real applications. Since the real missile model is nonlinear, a linearization process is required to get use of systematic linear controller design techniques. In the scope of this thesis, the linear quadratic full state feedback approach is applied for developing missile autopilots. However, the limitations of measurement systems on the missiles restrict the availability of all the states required for feedback. Because of this fact, the linear quadratic design

Abstract:

There is a never-ending debate about practice relevance within management accounting and control research. This dissertation contributes to an understanding of the gap claimed between theory and practice. The concepts of theory and practice are discussed, and the key finding is that there is no unanimous definition of the concepts, something which may contribute to confusion about the content of the gap. Moreover, in addition to having multiple meanings, the concepts are often applied implicitly. In this dissertation, the concepts are considered according to the following: (1) theory as ideas

Abstract:

Decision making under uncertainty is a widely-studied area spanning a number of fields such as computational optimization, control theory, utility theory and game theory. A typical problem of decision making under uncertainty requires the design of an optimal decision rule, control policy, or behavioural function, that takes into account all available information regarding the uncertain parameters and returns the decision that is most suitable for the given objective. A popular requirement is to determine robust decisions that maintain certain desired characteristics despite the presence of un

Abstract:

Flight control design for modern fighter aircraft is a challenging task. Aircraft are dynamical systems, which naturally contain a variety of constraints and nonlinearities such as, e.g., maximum permissible load factor, angle of attack and control surface deflections. Taking these limitations into account in the design of control systems is becoming increasingly important as the performance and complexity of the aircraft is constantly increasing. The aeronautical industry has traditionally applied feedforward, anti-windup or similar techniques and different ad hoc engineering solutions to han

Traffic signal control is an effective way to improve the efficiency of traffic networks and reduce users’ delays. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a metaheuristic based on the behavior of ant colonies searching for food. ACO has successfully been used to solve many NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems and its stochastic and decentralized nature fits well with traffic flow networks. This thesis investigates the application of ACO to minimize user delay at traffic intersections. Computer simulation results show that this new approach outperforms conventional fully actuated control under

Many complex systems are hybrid in the sense that: (i) the state set possesses continuous and discrete components, and (ii) system evolution may occur in both continuous and discrete time. One important class of hybrid systems is that characterized by a feedback configuration of a set of continuous controlled low level systems and a high level discrete controller; such systems appear frequently in engineering and are particularly evident when a system is required to operate in a number of distinct modes. Other classes of hybrid systems are found in such diverse areas as (i) air traffic
