A data-driven methodology that includes the unfalsified control concept in the framework of fault diagnosis and isolation (FDI) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) is presented. The selection of the appropriate controller from a bank of controllers in a switching supervisory control setting is performed by using an adequate FDI outcome. By combining simultaneous on-line performance assessment of m...

In the control of complex dynamic plants, fault detection and isolation (FDI) is a prerequisite for a fault tolerant control architecture. In order to increase the reliability and robustness of the fault diagnosis, it is fundamental that the FDI system is given a hierarchical structure, reflecting, as far as possible, the natural decomposition of the plant into physical and/or logical subsystem...

Critical infrastructure systems (CIS) are complex large-scale systems which in turn require highly sophisticated supervisory control systems to ensure that high performance can be achieved and maintained under adverse conditions. The global CIS Real-Time Control (RTC) need of operating in adverse conditions involves, with a high probability, sensor and actuator malfunctions (faults). This probl...

foreign direct investmentplays a crucial role in the economy of developing countries like bangladesh through accelerating gross domestic product (gdp), export and domestic investment followed by overall economic growth. the present scenario of fdi in bangladesh in not still satisfactory enough but given the availability of abundant resources, skilled and cheap labor forces, a stable political a...

This study was concerned with the construction and validation of a Financial Distress Index (FDI). A stratified (UK) sample 2000 adults completed new measure as well measures financial anxiety, general stress money attitudes. The FDI correlated highly establishing concurrent validity. For FDI, men scored lower than women, there an inverse association age for highest income bands. unit increase ...

Theoretical considerations suggest that the option of waiting under conditions of uncertainty affects the relative importance of firm-level productivity and distance-related transaction costs as driving forces of FDI. Yet the timing of FDI has received little attention in the empirical literature on FDI determinants. To help close this gap we analyze FDI decisions by German firms with and witho...

We propose a robust actuator fault tolerant control strategy for systems with linear parameter varying (LPV) uncertainty model description. The scheme employs a set-based robust fault detection and identification (FDI) approach and a bank of virtual actuators (VA). An interesting feature is that the virtual actuators are used both for FDI and controller reconfiguration (CR) tasks. The robust FD...
