Distributed Algorithm for Higher-Order Integrators to Track Average of Unbounded Signals

Higher order supertwisting algorithm for perturbed chains of integrators of arbitrary order

In this paper, we present a generalization for the supertwisting algorithm for perturbed chains of integrators of arbitrary order. This Higher Order Supertwisting (HOST) controller, which extends the approach of [1], is either continuous or quasi-continuous and its design is derived from a first result obtained for pure chains of integrators, the latter relying on a geometric condition introduc...

Construction of higher order symplectic integrators

For Hamiltonian systems of the form H= T(p) + V(q) a method is shown to construct explicit and time reversible symplectic integrators of higher order. For any even order there exists at least one symplectic integrator with exact coefficients. The simplest one is the 4th order integrator which agrees with one found by Forest and by Ned. For 6th and 8th orders, symplectic integrators with fewer s...

Higher-order Behavioral Contracts for Distributed Components

Inspired by the Design by Contract paradigm, we intro-duce CONSUL, a contract system for distributed compo-nents. CONSUL monitors distributed components at run timewith higher-order behavioral contracts. Contract monitoringis local to a component, and the component is treated asa black box. Thus it does not disturb the highly decouplednature of distributed components and...

Distributed Higher Order Text Mining

-The burgeoning amount of textual data in distributed sources combined with the obstacles involved in creating and maintaining central repositories motivates the need for effective distributed information extraction and mining techniques. Recently, as the need to mine patterns across distributed databases has grown, Distributed Association Rule Mining (D-ARM) algorithms have been developed. The...
