This paper considers a nonlinear constrained optimal control problem (NCOCP) originated from energy optimal trajectory planning of servomotor systems. Solving the exact optimal solution is challenging because of the nonlinear and switching cost function, and various constraints. This paper proposes a method to manage the switching cost function to establish a set of necessary conditions of an N...

An on-chip waveguide-based source of entangled photons capable of switching between generating time-energy entangled and hyperentangled (entangled in both time energy and polarization) photon pairs is proposed. The switching can be done all-optically by rotating the pump polarization. The source is based on multichannel phase matching in Bragg reflection waveguides achieved by engineering the F...

The paper present’s a survey of the wheel vehicles drives with electric and hybrid drive system. For electric and hybrid vehicle applications, wheels motor and magnetic circuits cutting motor drives, represented a new attractive solution for their lightness and compactness. The wheels are directly driven by the electric motor, and the gears are not necessary anymore. An alternating solution of ...

In recent years many works are aimed at finding a method of controllable switching between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a surface. The hydrophilic surface state is generally determined by its energy. Change in the surface energy can be realized in several different ways. Here we report the ability to control the surface wettability of zirconium dioxide nano-coatings by changing the comp...

In discrete-time digital models of contact of vibrating objects stability and therefore control over system energy is an important issue. While numerical approximation is problematic in this context digital algorithms may meat this challenge when based on exact mathematical solution of the underlying equation. The latter may generally be possible under certain conditions of linearity. While a s...
