  • 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...

  • Sliding-mode control of the super maneuverable aircraft

    Creator:
    Koo, Chang Sul
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, A nonlinear methodology for the control of the highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft HARV (F-18) is studied by using sliding-mode control (SMC). This control law, which takes a continuous function when the input constraints are not considered, satisfies the reachability condition by which concerned states are driven...

  • Simplification of large linear systems using two-step iterative method

    Creator:
    Shoji, Fumihiro Frank
    Abstract:
    The order of the practical system (e.g. nuclear power plants, electrical power network and chemical plant) is quite large. However, there are many limitations in computing facilities for the large system. Because of these limitations, it is often necessary to reduce the order of the large system using an approximation....

  • Restoration of quadratically distorted images

    Creator:
    Kwon, Tae-hwan
    Abstract:
    The problem of the restoration of quadratically distorted images is considered in this investigation, based upon the fact that images formed by partially coherent illuminations are related quadratically to the amplitude of the object. Two of the most important problems in image restoration are: 1) determining the degradation characteristics of...

  • Optimization of stochastic dynamic system with random coefficients

    Creator:
    Yi, Man Hyung
    Abstract:
    The problem of optimization of stochastic dynamic systems with random coefficients is discussed. Systems with both Wiener processes and uncertain random-process disturbances are dealt with in this dissertation, and these include certain bilinear stochastic systems. It is the purpose of this thesis to study the optimal control and, to some...

  • Observability and information structure of nonlinear systems

    Creator:
    Hwang, Chun Sik
    Abstract:
    An observability problem for both deterministic and stochastic systems is studied here. Deterministic observability is a determination of whether every state of the system is connected to the observation mechanism and how it is connected, if connected. On the other hand, stochastic observability discusses the "tightness" of the connection in...

  • Nonlinear neural control with power systems applications

    Creator:
    Chen, Dingguo
    Abstract:
    Extensive studies have been undertaken on the transient stability of large interconnected power systems with flexible ac transmission systems (FACTS) devices installed. Varieties of control methodologies have been proposed to stabilize the postfault system which would otherwise eventually lose stability without a proper control. Generally speaking, regular transient stability is...

  • Nonlinear control of high performance aircraft

    Creator:
    Bean, Ronnie A.
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents the design of various controllers for a highly maneuverable, high performance aircraft, namely the modified F-18. The aircraft was required to perform high angle-of-attack maneuvers, for which the aircraft behaves in as a highly nonlinear system. An adaptive PID controller was used to control the aircraft through...

  • Nonlinear approach to the direction finding problem in array processing

    Creator:
    Ill-keun Rhee
    Abstract:
    In sonar or radar array processing, one of the most important objectives is to estimate the angles of incidence of distant source signals in a noisy environment. The standard eigenstructure-based method, which is known to yield high resolution spectral estimates for solving the direction finding problem, relies on the assumption...
