We derive an explicit second order reversible Poisson integrator for symmetric rigid bodies in space (i.e. without a fixed point). The integrator is obtained by applying a splitting method to the Hamiltonian after reduction by the S1 body symmetry. In the particular case of a magnetic top in an axisymmetric magnetic field (i.e. the Levitron) this integrator preserves the two momentum integrals....

In this paper, we present a Lyapunov function for systems containing a double integrator and with controller saturation. This Lyapunov function is composed of a positive-semide"nite quadratic term and an integral term. The main result provides a su$cient condition that guarantees a system with a double integrator can be globally stabilized by a saturating linear controller. For a triple-integra...

This paper describes novel transconductor and an integrator circuits which can be used in integrated video frequency filters in bipolar technology. The transconductor consists of a parallel connection of a passive nominal transconductance and an active variable transconductance, resulting in good high frequency performance up to 70 MHz and less than 1% linearity error for input signals up to 2V...

The subject of controlling an integrator via a communication network nds many applications in modern control systems such as ATM network VBR control, load balancing in computer networks, etc. Stability conditions in closed form are derived for the arising feedback system, which consists of multiple controllers, an integrator and time-variant links between integrator and controllers. It will be ...
