in this paper, we propose a new full-fuzzy video ratecontrol algorithm (rca) for variable bit rate (vbr) videoapplications. the proposed rca provides high qualitycompressed video with a low degree computational complexity.by controlling the quantization parameter (qp) on a picturebasis, it produces vbr video bit streams. the proposed rcahas been implemented on the jm h.264/avc video codec andth...

The efficiency of the wind power conversions systems can be greatly improved using an appropriate control algorithm. In this work, an adaptive robust control for a doubly feed induction generator drive for variable speed wind power generation is described. In the presented design it is applied the so called vector control theory. The control scheme uses stator flux-oriented control for the roto...

The behaviour of perturbations around trajectories of variable structure systems is studied and a sensitivity formula is derived. This formula is used to adapt classical shooting algorithms for computing periodic solutions to piecewise smooth systems. The innu-ence of switching boundaries on the stability of periodic solutions is studied within a control theory approach.

In this paper we develop a robust controller based on variable structure systems (VSS) control theory for the stabilization of a class of Underactuated Mechanical Systems. This controller is based on a noncollocated partial feedback linearization of the underactuated system with a particular choice of the additional control for which the design is made using the sliding mode approach. Simulatio...
