Key Features:The Book Covers recent results of the traditional block pulse and other functions related materialDiscusses ‘functions related to block pulse functions’ extensively along with their applicationsContains analysis and identification of linear time-invariant systems, scaled system, and sampled-data systemPresents an overview of piecewise constant orthogonal functions starting from Haar to...

This book introduces a new set of orthogonal hybrid functions (HF) which approximates time functions in a piecewise linear manner which is very suitable for practical applications.The book presents an analysis of different systems namely, time-invariant system, time-varying system, multi-delay systems---both homogeneous and non-homogeneous type- and the solutions are obtained in the form of discrete samples. The book also investigates system identification problems for many of the ...

The story begins with Anindyasundor waking up at a registration office only to realise that he has died and is now at the gateway to heaven. He is surprised. He is even more shocked when the man at the counter tells him that he was murdered. A middle-aged man in his 50's and an author by profession, who would bother killing him. After much nagging and pleading this man at the counter grants him a recap of his death. Only 24 hrs and a promise that he wouldn't change anything in the course o...

This book focuses on the stability analysis of Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with various settings and discusses its applications in several different areas. It also presents general definitions of the necessary concepts and an overview of the recent developments in MJSs. Further, it addresses the general robust problem of Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs), the asynchronous stability of a class of nonlinear systems, the robust adaptive control scheme for a class of nonlinear uncertain ...

Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be expressed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of this linear expression, certain major issues concerning Boolean network topology – fixed points, cycles, transient times and basins of attractors – can ...

This is the introduction to PLCs for which baffled students, technicians and managers have been waiting. In this straightforward, easy-to-read guide, Bill Bolton has kept the jargon to a minimum, considered all the programming methods in the standard IEC 1131-3 - in particular ladder programming, and presented the subject in a way that is not device specific to ensure maximum applicability to courses in electronics and control systems.Now in its fourth edition, this best-selling text has b...

This book collects papers from the 8th Conference on Non-Integer Order Calculus and Its Applications that have been held on September 20-21, 2016 in Zakopane, Poland. The preceding two conferences were held in Szczecin, Poland in 2015, and in Opole, Poland, in 2014. This conference provides a platform for academic exchange on the theory and application of fractional calculus between domestic and international universities, research institutes, corporate experts and scholars.The Pro...

Applied and Computational Control, Signals, and Circuits: Recent Developments is an interdisciplinary book blending mathematics, computational mathematics, scientific computing and software engineering with control and systems theory, signal processing, and circuit simulations. The material consists of seven state-of-the-art review chapters, each written by a leading expert in that field. Each of the technical chapters deals exclusively with some of the recent development...

Electric Motors and Drives is intended for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, filling the gap between maths- and theory-based academic textbooks and the more prosaic 'handbooks', which provide useful detail but little opportunity for the development of real insight and understanding. The book explores all of the widely-used modern types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless D.C., induction motors and servo drives, providing readers with the knowledge to ...

This thesis proposes a novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy, which modifies the usual MPC cost function in order to achieve a desirable sparse actuation. It features an ℓ1-regularised least squares loss function, in which the control error variance competes with the sum of input channels magnitude (or slew rate) over the whole horizon length. While standard control techniques lead to continuous movements of all actuators, this approach enables a selected subset of actuators to be ...
