A treatise on investigating tracking control and synchronization control of fractional-order nonlinear systems with system uncertainties, external disturbance, and input saturationRobust Adaptive Control for Fractional-Order Systems, with Disturbance and Saturation provides the reader with a good understanding on how to achieve tracking control and synchronization control of fractional-order nonlinear systems with system uncertainties, external disturbance...

This book studies selected discrete-time flight control schemes for fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems in the presence of system uncertainties, external disturbances and input saturation. The main contributions of this book for UAV systems are as follows: (i) the proposed integer-order discrete-time control schemes are based on the designed discrete-time disturbance observers (DTDOs) and the neural network (NN); and (ii) the fractional-order discrete-time control schemes are ...

Experiments and theory have rapidly progressed on nonlinear optical extreme waves, showing that guided wave nonlinear optics and fiber lasers provide a relatively simple, accessible and controllable test bed for the observations and accurate statistical studies of extreme wave phenomena that obey the same universal rules, which apply to a large ensemble of different physical systems. With introductory material to make the subject area accessible to non-specialists such as graduate and PhD ...

The two-volume set LNCS 9614 and 9615 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th IACR International Conference on the Practice and Theory in Public-Key Cryptography, PKC 2016, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in March 2016.The 34 revised papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 143 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: CCA security, functional encryption, identity-based encryption, signatures, cryptanalysis, leakage-resilient and circularly secure...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 17th International Workshop on Security, IWSEC 2022, which took place as a hybrid event in Tokyo, Japan, in August/September 2022.The 12 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: mathematical cryptography; system security and threat intelligence; symmetric-key cryptography; post-quantum cryptography; advanced cryptography.

This is an open access book. This book presents new theory and methods on compiling lithofacies paleogeographic maps as a key tool for guiding geological survey on shale gas. The fundamental goal of the shale gas geological survey is to find the ‘dessert’ area. It is therefore suggested that the lithofacies paleogeographic study and the technique of mapping should be a solid scientific basis for shale gas exploration. It takes Ordovician Wufeng-Silurian Longmaxi Formation in Sichuan Basin ...
