A Variable Structure Observer Based Control Design for a Class of Large scale MIMO Nonlinear Systems

This paper fully discusses how to design an observer based decentralized fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of large scale multivariable non-canonical nonlinear systems with unknown functions of subsystems’ states. On-line tuning mechanisms to adjust both the parameters of the direct adaptive controller and observer that guarantee the ultimately boundedness of both the tracking error and tha...

COMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT OPTIMUM DESIGN OF LARGE SCALE STEEL FRAMES

Computational cost of metaheuristic based optimum design algorithms grows excessively with structure size. This results in computational inefficiency of modern metaheuristic algorithms in tackling optimum design problems of large scale structural systems. This paper attempts to provide a computationally efficient optimization tool for optimum design of large scale steel frame structures to AISC...

A very high capacity optical fibre network for large- scale antenna constellations: the RETINA project

A combination of flexible optical time division multiplexing and dense wavelength division multiplexing techniques is deployed for realising a reconfigurable multi-Tbit/s data transport network connecting over 13000 telescope antennas. Both short-range and long-range transport in the 1.3 μm and in the 1.5 μm wavelength range, respectively, are explored. Introduction Very high capacity optical d...

Toward High-precision Measures of Large-scale Structure

I review some results of estimation of the power spectrum of density fluctuations from galaxy redshift surveys and discuss advances that may be possible with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. I then examine the realities of power spectrum estimation in the presence of Galactic extinction, photometric errors, galaxy evolution, clustering evolution, and uncertainty about the background cosmology.
