On fault tolerant control structures incorporating fault estimation

Fault-Tolerant Data Structures

We study data structures in the presence of adversarial noise. We want to encode a given object in a succinct data structure that enables us to efficiently answer specific queries about the object, even if the data structure has been corrupted by a constant fraction of errors. This model is the common generalization of (static) data structures and locally decodable error-correcting codes. The m...

Fault Tolerant Data Structures

We consider the tolerance of data structures to memory faults. We observe that many pointer-based data structures (e.g. linked lists, trees, etc.) are highly nonresilient to faults. A single fault in a linked list or tree may result in the loss of the entire set of data. In this paper we present a formal framework for studying the fault tolerance properties of pointer-based data structures, and...

Fault Diagnosis and Fault-tolerant Control

Fault Tolerant Feedback Control

An architecture for fault tolerant feedback controllers based on the Youla parameterization is suggested. It is shown that the Youla parameterization will give a residual vector directly in connection with the fault diagnosis part of the fault tolerant feedback controller. It turns out that there is a separation between the feedback controller and the fault tolerant part. The closed loop feedba...
