  • Information processing errors in linear feedback control systems

    Creator:
    Chong, Hoi-yeung
    Abstract:
    This report is concerned with the analysis of the effect of finite wordlength, channel capacity and source rate in digital feedback control of linear systems. The cases considered are (1) finite wordlength A/D conversion, no feedback delay, ideal ROM (read only memory) controller; (2) finite A/D wordlength (source rate), state...

  • A new comptutational method for constrained nonlinear programming

    Creator:
    Bhatia, Surendra P. S.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, a new computational method for equality constrained nonlinear programming is developed. Specifically, problems of minimizing a nonlinear objective function f(x) subject to constraints h(x) = 0, where f is a scalar valued, x is an n-vector and h is a m-vector with m < n is considered....

  • Conditionally Gaussian processes in stochastic control theory

    Creator:
    Kolodziej, Wojciech Jan
    Abstract:
    An application of the theory of conditionally Gaussian random processes to filtering and stochastic control problems is presented here. The results due to Liptser and Shiryayev are proved to hold in the multidimensional case under somewhat relaxed conditions, when compared to the original ones. Such a generalization is required from...

  • Functional expansions in bilinear system analysis

    Creator:
    Karanam, Veerabhadra Rao
    Abstract:
    Bilinear systems, encountered in many important applications of engineering, biological and socio-economic systems, represent the logical step in complexity between the linear systems which are inadequate in the modeling of various dynamic processes and the difficult realm of nonlinear systems. This dissertation studies two functional expansions in bilinear system analysis-...

  • A dynamic model of exchange rate in relation to international trading

    Creator:
    Sun, Keong-wah Gary
    Abstract:
    It is popular belief that the volatility of the exchange rate is due to the balance of payments, which in turn is mainly influenced by the balance of trade. A closed-loop dynamic economic model is proposed to describe and analyse the effect of the international trade of a country on...

  • A new loop structure for distributed microcomputing systems

    Creator:
    Jafari, Hossein
    Abstract:
    A new modular loop architecture for distributed computer systems has been developed and compared with three of the most prominent loop architectures currently being used. The competitive loops with which the new architecture has been compared are the Newhall loop, the Pierce loop and the DLCN loop. The four loop...

  • A study of the effect of the rotor coil couplings of a synchronous machine on its predicted transient response

    Creator:
    Nehrir, Mohammad Hashem
    Abstract:
    The effect of the mutual inductances between the rotor coils of a synchronous machine on its defined reactances and predicted transients are investigated. Two linearized models of the machine are considered. One uses the Laplace-Transform approach, with minimum number of assumptions on the inter-coil couplings, in developing a model for...

  • Team differential games and non-linear signal processing

    Creator:
    Bugnon, Francois J.
    Abstract:
    Team pursuit-evasion games are studied here with one performance index for the team as a unit in competition with one common opponent. Particular structures of team games are discussed after a brief introduction of the two-player differential games. The classical calculus of variations is used to derive the feedback strategies...

  • Pattern recognition of speech using hybrid computer feature extraction

    Creator:
    Herr, Alan Jack
    Abstract:
    Most technological problems associated with man-machine conversations have been solved and are well documented in both the contemporary technical and lay literature. The major remaining technological problem is the real time conversion of a human's vocal uterances into a "written" phoneme sequence representing the information content of speech. The work...

    Abstract:
    This paper investigates the benefit of various parallel processing architectures for a Command and Control system for the Royal Thai Air Force. Parallel processing has been shown to be useful for air defense and air traffic control applications. Its advantages are examined within the constraint imposed by the available resources...
