This paper presents a robustness study of 3R manipulators and aims at answering the following question: are generic manipulators more robust than their non-generic counterparts? We exploit several properties specific to 3R manipulators such as singularities, cuspidality, homotopy classes, and path feasibility, in order to find some correlations between genericity and robustness concepts. It tur...

Genericity is not encoded in the syntax semantics interface any more than metaphoricity is, or other forms of sense selection. We observe the overwhelming cross-linguistic lack of encoding of cues which could be understood as a signal of a particular semantic content. We note the ready compatibility of a range of syntactic forms with each of a range of conceptual distinctions one might make abo...

Several sufficient conditions for the controllability of the Schrödinger equation have been proposed in the last few years. In this article we discuss the genericity of these conditions with respect to the variation of the controlled or the uncontrolled potential. In the case where the Schrödinger equation is set on a domain of dimension one, we improve the results in the literature, removing f...
