An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...

Using the Malliavin calculus, we give a uniied treatment of the so-called perturbation analysis of dynamic systems. Several applications are also given.

In a holonic shop floor control (SFC) architecture, a reactive scheduler co-operates with an autonomous on-line SFC system to combine high performance with reactivity against disturbances. To take its decisions, the on-line SFC system uses the existing schedule as advice. This “schedule execution” problem (SE) is not trivial, because the decisions taken by the on-line SFC system are local decis...
