  • Interval Reachability Analysis: Bounding Trajectories of Uncertain Systems with Boxes for Control and Verification

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG Interval Reachability Analysis: Bounding Trajectories of Uncertain Systems with Boxes for Control and Verification

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis brief presents a suite of computationally efficient methods for bounding trajectories of dynamical systems with multi-dimensional intervals, or ‘boxes’. It explains the importance of bounding trajectories for evaluating the robustness of systems in the face of parametric uncertainty, and for verification or control synthesis problems with respect to safety and reachability properties. The methods presented make use of: interval analysis; monotonicity theory; contraction theory; and data-driven techniques that sample trajectories. The methods are implemented in an accompanying open-source Toolbox for Interval Reachability Analysis. This brief provides a tutorial description of each method, focusing on the requirements and trade-offs relevant to the user, requiring only basic background on dynamical systems. The second part of the brief describes applications of interval reachability analysis. This makes the brief of interest to a wide range of academic researchers, graduate students, and practising engineers in the field of control and verification. Trade Review“The motivation of this book is to provide to the readers tutorial presentations of several approaches for interval reachability analysis, without requiring any previous knowledge and experience of reachability analysis. Two parts, Part I and Part II, are used for this purpose. Part I describes six main methods for interval reachability analysis and in Part II several applications are presented.” (Takashi Amemiya, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2022)Table of ContentsChapter 1.

    Book SynopsisLight emitting diodes (LEDs) are already used in traffic signals, signage lighting, and automotive applications. However, its ultimate goal is to replace traditional illumination through LED lamps since LED lighting significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts down on carbon-dioxide emission. Despite dramatic advances in LED technologies (e.g., growth, doping and processing technologies), however, there remain critical issues for further improvements yet to be achieved for the realization of solid-state lighting. This book aims to provide the readers with some contemporary LED issues, which have not been comprehensively discussed in the published books and, on which the performance of LEDs is seriously dependent. For example, most importantly, there must be a breakthrough in the growth of high-quality nitride semiconductor epitaxial layers with a low density of dislocations, in particular, in the growth of Al-rich and and In-rich GaN-based semiconductors. The materials quality is directly dependent on the substrates used, such as sapphire, Si, etc. In addition, efficiency droop, growth on different orientations and polarization are also important. Chip processing and packaging technologies are key issues. This book presents a comprehensive review of contemporary LED issues. Given the interest and importance of future research in nitride semiconducting materials and solid state lighting applications, the contents are very timely. The book is composed of chapters written by leading researchers in III-nitride semiconducting materials and device technology. This book will be of interest to scientists and engineers working on LEDs for lighting applications. Postgraduate researchers working on LEDs will also benefit from the issues this book provides.Table of Contents1: Introduction Part A.

    Book SynopsisThis book covers electronic and structural properties of light-induced defects, light-induced defect creation processes, and related phenomena in crystalline, amorphous, and microcrystalline semiconductors. It provides a theoretical treatment of recombination-enhanced defect reaction in crystalline semiconductors, particularly GaAs and related materials. It also discusses experimental evidence for this phenomenon. Light-induced defect creation in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) is described in more detail, including its mechanism and experimental results. The subjects treated by the book are important issues from the viewpoints of physics and applications.Trade Review"This book is an illuminating review covering some 40 years of active research in the physics of defects in semiconductors, as well as a concentrate of the most recent progress in the field. The authors, who are themselves important contributors in the domain of light-induced defects, present a clear and well-documented review, including spin-dependant effects and a profound analysis of the properties of amorphous semiconductors."Prof. Ionel Solomon, Laboratoire de Physique de la Matière Condensée, France"There is no book that attempts to explain the light-induced defect creations in both crystalline and disordered semiconductors. I am convinced that the present book provides a valuable source of information and resource for MSc and PhD students and researchers with specialization in condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, and related engineering fields."Prof. Koichi Shimakawa, Gifu University, Japan"The authors’ scientific contributions to this field are extremely high. This book introduces students of physics and materials science as well as senior research workers to light-induced defects in semiconductors. An excellent reference source of the topic can be found at the end of the book."Prof. Sandor Kugler, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary"This book presents an extensive review of photo-induced electronic properties of both crystalline and non-crystalline bulk semiconductors. It is a valuable source of reference for graduate students and all researchers in the fields of condensed matter physics, industrial physics, and materials science and engineering."Prof. Jai Singh, Charles Darwin University, AustraliaTable of ContentsIntroduction.

    Book SynopsisThis book was derived from a talk that the author gave at the International Conference on Advanced Nanodevices and Nanotechnology in Hawaii. The book is about science and engineering, but is not on science and engineering. It is not a textbook which develops the understanding of a small part of the field, but a book about random encounters and about the strengths and the foibles of living as a physicist and engineer for half a century. It presents the author’s personal views on science, engineering, and life and is illustrated by a number of lively stories about various events, some of which shaped his life. Trade Review"Professor Ferry combines, in a masterful way, topics that have represented the leading edge of semiconductor science and engineering. His discussions of engineering questions, as seen from the different viewpoints of Bohr and Einstein respectively, are amusing and will resonate with anyone who is getting tired of hearing that no one can understand quantum mechanics. A must read for the engineering student who is also a science fan." —Prof. Karl Hess, Author of Einstein Was Right!Table of ContentsIn the Beginning. Threads of Science. The Rise of the Chip. Challenging Physics. Some Views of Science. Science and Life May Be Fickle. The Light Side of Science. Arrogance and Ignorance. How Big Is an Electron.
