In this paper we address the problem of detecting and isolating faults from noisy input/output measurements of a MIMO uncertain-system. The main result of the paper shows that this problem can be solved by using CarathCodory-Fejtr's theorem to reduce it to an LMI feasibility problem. These results are illustrated with a simple example.

The value chain for energy and other commodities entails physical conversions through refineries, power plants, storage facilities, and transportation and other capital-intensive infrastructure. When the operation of such commodity conversion assets occurs alongside liquid markets for the input and output commodities, the operating flexibility of conversion assets can be managed as real options...

The tourism industry is characterized by severe shifts in demand that play havoc with forecasting future investment. Within the tourism industry, the need for large-scale initial capital investment in the hotel sector, make the latter particularly vulnerable to the vagaries of the tourism market. Given an up-turn in demand, the hotel industry cannot always respond immediately and its' response ...

Modern processors are improving their speed at a very fast rate. Memory design technologies try to keep pace with rapid evolution of processors, and combined with caching techniques, they partly succeed. However, disk speed is not improving at the same rate. On the contrary, seek time, latency and bandwidth are almost the same as ten years ago, and there is no much hope for the future. To preve...

A formal framework is set up for the discussion of generalized autoregressive with external input models of the form = , where and are linear operators, with the main emphasis being on signal spaces consisting of bounded sequences parametrized by the integers. Different notions of stability are explored, and topological notions such as the idea of a closed system are linked with questions of st...

In this paper N is a set with non empty elements. One can prove the following propositions: (1) For all sets x, y, z such that x 6= y and x 6= z holds {x, y, z}\{x} = {y, z}. (2) For every non empty non void AMI A over N and for every state s of A and for every object o of A holds s(o) ∈ ObjectKind(o). (3) Let A be a realistic IC-Ins-separated definite non empty non void AMI over N , s be a sta...
