Book SynopsisSliding mode control is a simple and yet robust control technique, where the system states are made to confine to a selected subset. With the increasing use of computers and discrete-time samplers in controller implementation in the recent past, discrete-time systems and computer based control have become important topics. This monograph presents an output feedback sliding mode control philosophy which can be applied to almost all controllable and observable systems, while at the same time being simple enough as not to tax the computer too much. It is shown that the solution can be found in the synergy of the multirate output sampling concept and the concept of discrete-time sliding mode control.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Switching Function bases Multirate Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control.- Multirate Output Feedback based Discrete-time Sliding Mode in LTI systems with Uncertainty.- Multirate Output Feedback based Discrete-time Quasi-Sliding Mode Control of Time-Delay Systems.- Multirate Output Feedback Sliding Mode for Special Classes of Systems.- Discrete-time Terminal Sliding Mode: Concept.- Applications of Multirate Output Feedback Discrete-time Sliding Mode Control.

Unter Innentätern versteht man Personen, die in Unternehmen oder Organisationen vorsätzlich dolose Handlungen vornehmen. Ihnen fällt es aufgrund ihres Wissens über Interna leichter, etablierte Schutzmaßnahmen zu überwinden. Unternehmensinhaber trifft im Rahmen des mehrdeutigen Begriffs unternehmerischer Compliance auch eine Pflicht, in ihrem Betrieb für regelgetreues Verhalten der Beschäftigten zu sorgen. Es besteht insofern ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen dem Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung des Beschäftigten, welches durch das Datenschutzrecht geschützt wird, und der Pflicht des Arbeitgebers, in seinem Unternehmen für rechtskonformes Verhalten zu sorgen.

Book SynopsisThis text presents the mathematical concepts of Grassmann variables and the method of supersymmetry to a broad audience of physicists interested in applying these tools to disordered and critical systems, as well as related topics in statistical physics. Based on many courses and seminars held by the author, one of the pioneers in this field, the reader is given a systematic and tutorial introduction to the subject matter. The algebra and analysis of Grassmann variables is presented in part I. The mathematics of these variables is applied to a random matrix model, path integrals for fermions, dimer models and the Ising model in two dimensions. Supermathematics - the use of commuting and anticommuting variables on an equal footing - is the subject of part II. The properties of supervectors and supermatrices, which contain both commuting and Grassmann components, are treated in great detail, including the derivation of integral theorems. In part III, supersymmetric physical models are considered. While supersymmetry was first introduced in elementary particle physics as exact symmetry between bosons and fermions, the formal introduction of anticommuting spacetime components, can be extended to problems of statistical physics, and, since it connects states with equal energies, has also found its way into quantum mechanics. Several models are considered in the applications, after which the representation of the random matrix model by the nonlinear sigma-model, the determination of the density of states and the level correlation are derived. Eventually, the mobility edge behavior is discussed and a short account of the ten symmetry classes of disorder, two-dimensional disordered models, and superbosonization is given.Trade Review“This volume of Lecture Notes in Physics presents in three parts the topics of Grassmann algebra and its applications and the subject of supermathematics, where commuting and anticommuting variables are treated on equal footing, and its applications. … it may be of interest to those already in the field who want to expand their knowledge in both the underlying mathematics and its applications in physics.” (Moorad Alexanian, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2017)“Each chapter contains a set of illustrating problems supplied with answers in the book's end. Thus, this monograph can be used for practical teaching as well.” (Eugene Postnikov, zbMATH 1345.81003, 2016)Table of ContentsPart I Grassmann Variables and Applications.- Part II Supermathematics.- Part III Supersymmetry in Statistical Physics.- Summary and Additional Remarks.- References.- Solutions.- Index.

Book SynopsisThis book explores a different pragmatic approach to algorithmic complexity rooted or motivated by the theoretical foundations of algorithmic probability and explores the relaxation of necessary and sufficient conditions in the pursuit of numerical applicability, with some of these approaches entailing greater risks than others in exchange for greater relevance and applicability. Some established and also novel techniques in the field of applications of algorithmic (Kolmogorov) complexity currently coexist for the first time, ranging from the dominant ones based upon popular statistical lossless compression algorithms (such as LZW) to newer approaches that advance, complement, and also pose their own limitations. Evidence suggesting that these different methods complement each other for different regimes is presented, and despite their many challenges, some of these methods are better grounded in or motivated by the principles of algorithmic information. The authors propose that the field can make greater contributions to science, causation, scientific discovery, networks, and cognition, to mention a few among many fields, instead of remaining either as a technical curiosity of mathematical interest only or as a statistical tool when collapsed into an application of popular lossless compression algorithms. This book goes, thus, beyond popular statistical lossless compression and introduces a different methodological approach to dealing with algorithmic complexity. For example, graph theory and network science are classic subjects in mathematics widely investigated in the twentieth century, transforming research in many fields of science from economy to medicine. However, it has become increasingly clear that the challenge of analyzing these networks cannot be addressed by tools relying solely on statistical methods. Therefore, model-driven approaches are needed. Recent advances in network science suggest that algorithmic information theory could play an increasingly important role in breaking those limits imposed by traditional statistical analysis (entropy or statistical compression) in modeling evolving complex networks or interacting networks. Further progress on this front calls for new techniques for an improved mechanistic understanding of complex systems, thereby calling out for increased interaction between systems science, network theory, and algorithmic information theory, to which this book contributes. Trade Review“The book starts practically from scratch: It defines Turing machines, Kolmogorov complexity, etc. So this book can be recommended not only to researchers in this area, but also to students and to researchers from other areas interested in complexity issues.” (Vladik Ya. Kreinovich, zbMATH 1497.68008, 2022)Table of Contents​Preliminaries.- Enumerating and simulating Turing machines.- The Coding Theorem Method.- Theoretical aspects of finite approximations to Levin’s semi-measure.

Book SynopsisThis thesis deals with specific features of the theory of holomorphic dynamics in dimension 2 and then sets out to study analogous questions in higher dimensions, e.g. dealing with normal forms for rigid germs, and examples of Kato 3-folds.The local dynamics of holomorphic maps around critical points is still not completely understood, in dimension 2 or higher, due to the richness of the geometry of the critical set for all iterates.In dimension 2, the study of the dynamics induced on a suitable functional space (the valuative tree) allows a classification of such maps up to birational conjugacy, reducing the problem to the special class of rigid germs, where the geometry of the critical set is simple. In some cases, from such dynamical data one can construct special compact complex surfaces, called Kato surfaces, related to some conjectures in complex geometry.Table of ContentsIntroduction.-1.Background.- 2.Dynamics in 2D.- 3.Rigid germs in higher dimension.- 4 Construction of non-Kahler 3-folds.- References.- Index.

Book SynopsisBattery Management Systems - Design by Modelling describes the design of Battery Management Systems (BMS) with the aid of simulation methods. The basic tasks of BMS are to ensure optimum use of the energy stored in the battery (pack) that powers a portable device and to prevent damage inflicted on the battery (pack). This becomes increasingly important due to the larger power consumption associated with added features to portable devices on the one hand and the demand for longer run times on the other hand. In addition to explaining the general principles of BMS tasks such as charging algorithms and State-of-Charge (SoC) indication methods, the book also covers real-life examples of BMS functionality of practical portable devices such as shavers and cellular phones. Simulations offer the advantage over measurements that less time is needed to gain knowledge of a battery's behaviour in interaction with other parts in a portable device under a wide variety of conditions. This knowledge can be used to improve the design of a BMS, even before a prototype of the portable device has been built. The battery is the central part of a BMS and good simulation models that can be used to improve the BMS design were previously unavailable. Therefore, a large part of the book is devoted to the construction of simulation models for rechargeable batteries. With the aid of several illustrations it is shown that design improvements can indeed be realized with the presented battery models. Examples include an improved charging algorithm that was elaborated in simulations and verified in practice and a new SoC indication system that was developed showing promising results. The contents of Battery Management Systems - Design by Modelling is based on years of research performed at the Philips Research Laboratories. The combination of basic and detailed descriptions of battery behaviour both in chemical and electrical terms makes this book truly multidisciplinary. It can therefore be read both by people with an (electro)chemical and an electrical engineering background. Table of ContentsList of abbreviations. List of symbols. Series preface. Preface. 1.

Book SynopsisThe aim of this monograph is to present a general method of proving continuity of Lyapunov exponents of linear cocycles. The method uses an inductive procedure based on a general, geometric version of the Avalanche Principle. The main assumption required by this method is the availability of appropriate large deviation type estimates for quantities related to the iterates of the base and fiber dynamics associated with the linear cocycle. We establish such estimates for various models of random and quasi-periodic cocycles. Our method has its origins in a paper of M. Goldstein and W. Schlag. Our present work expands upon their approach in both depth and breadth. We conclude this monograph with a list of related open problems, some of which may be treated using a similar approach.Trade Review“The effort of the authors to make this text self-contained and to make the exposition very clear and delightful was successful, making this monograph an excellent contribution for both graduate student and anyone interested in the continuity of Lyapunov Exponents.” (Paulo Varandas, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2018)Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Estimates on Grassmann Manifolds.- Abstract Continuity of Lyapunov Exponents.- The Oseledets Filtration and Decomposition.- Large Deviations for Random Cocycles.- Large Deviations for Quasi-Periodic Cocycles.- Further Related Problems.

The most important change is the addition of a completely new chapter on control and synchronization of chaos.Trade ReviewFrom reviews of the previous edition: '… a stimulating selection of topics that could be taught a la carte in postgraduate courses. The book is given unity by a preoccupation with scaling arguments, but covers almost all aspects of the subject (dimensions of strange attractors, transitions to chaos, thermodynamic formalism, scattering quantum chaos and so on … Ott has managed to capture the beauty of this subject in a way that should motivate and inform the next generation of students in applied dynamical systems.' NatureFrom reviews of the previous edition: '… proves there is definitely enough worthwhile material on chaos to fill a semester … Chapter exercises are at a good level for graduate students … worthwhile for the researcher who wants to learn about chaos on his or her own … a welcome volume for those who keep even modest collections on nonlinear dynamics.' Physics Today'… a book that will be of most interest to physicists and engineers … The book is well written, and does contain material that is hard to find elsewhere. In particular, the discussion of fractal basin boundaries is lucidly written, and this is an important topic.' Bulletin of Mathematical Biology'This second edition updates and expands the first edition. This very comprehensive book on chaotic dynamics is intended to use in a graduate course for scientists and engineers. It can also be used as a reference for researchers in the field of nonlinear dynamics.' Zentralblatt für Mathematik'The book is a comprehensive text and covrs all aspects of dynamical systems in a highly readable account.' Mathematics TodayTable of ContentsPreface; 1.
