Minimal Actuator Placement With Bounds on Control Effort

Noise Robust Actuator Placement on Flexible StructuresMagnus

A novel criterion for placement of actuators on exible mechanical structures is presented. Using simulated \measured modes" obtained from the model, the proposed criterion maximizes the correlation of the measured modes and the normal modes. The measured modes deviate from the normal modes due to damping , measurement noise and process noise. The statistical properties of the criterion are inve...

Optimal actuator placement for minimizing the worst-case control energy

We consider the actuator placement problem for linear systems. Specifically, we aim to identify an actuator which requires the least amount of control energy to drive the system from an arbitrary initial condition to the origin in the worst case. Said otherwise, we investigate the minimax problem of minimizing the control energy over the worst possible initial conditions. Recall that the least ...

Range Analysis of Binaries with Minimal Effort

COTS components are ubiquitous in military, industrial and governmental systems. However, the benefits of reduced development and maintainance costs are compromised by security concerns. Since source code is unavailable, security audits necessarily occur at the binary level. Push-button formal method techniques, such as model checking and abstract interpretation, can support this process by, am...
