Robust Sliding Control of SEIR Epidemic Models
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
This paper is aimed at designing a robust vaccination strategy capable of eradicating an infectious disease from a population regardless of the potential uncertainty in the parameters defining the disease. For this purpose, ...
Global Stability of Polytopic Linear Time-Varying Dynamic Systems under Time-Varying Point Delays and Impulsive Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of dynamic linear systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which conform a linear time-varying polytopic dynamic ...
Linear Chromatic Adaptation Transform Based on Delaunay Triangulation
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
Computer vision algorithms that use color information require color constant images to operate correctly. Color constancy of the images is usually achieved in two steps: first the illuminant is detected and then image is ...
Linear Chromatic Adaptation Transform Based on Delaunay Triangulation
(Hindawi, 2014-01)
Computer vision algorithms that use color information require color constant images to operate correctly. Color constancy of the images is usually achieved in two steps: first the illuminant is detected and then image is ...
A Data Dropout Compensation Algorithm Based on the Iterative Learning Control Methodology for Discrete-Time Systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2015)
This paper deals with the convergence of a remote iterative learning control system subject to data dropouts. The system is composed by a set of discrete-time multiple input-multiple output linear models, each one with its ...
Performance of an Ocean Energy Conversion System with DFIG Sensorless Control
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-05)
The 2009/28/EC Directive requires Member States of the European Union to adopt a National Action Plan for Renewable Energy. In this context, the Basque Energy Board, EVE, is committed to research activities such as the ...
Framework for the Shape Optimization of Aerodynamic Profiles Using Genetic Algorithms
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)
This study developed a framework for the shape optimization of aerodynamics profiles using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and genetic algorithms. Agenetic algorithm code and a commercial CFD code were integrated to ...
Effective and Robust Generalized Predictive Speed Control of Induction Motor
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-10-16)
This paper presents and validates a new proposal for effective speed vector control of induction motors based on linear Generalized Predictive Control (GPC) law. The presented GPC-PI cascade configuration simplifies the ...
Low Effort L-i Nuclear Fusion Plasma Control Using Model Predictive Control Laws
(Hindawi Publishing, 2015)
One of the main problems of fusion energy is to achieve longer pulse duration by avoiding the premature reaction decay due to plasma instabilities. The control of the plasma inductance arises as an essential tool for the ...
Robust Sliding Mode Control for Tokamaks
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
Nuclear fusion has arisen as an alternative energy to avoid carbon dioxide emissions, being the tokamak a promising nuclear fusion reactor that uses a magnetic field to confine plasma in the shape of a torus. However, ...
