This paper presents a novel way to approach the interconnection of a continuous time and a discrete time physical system. This is done in a way which preserve passivity of the coupled system independently of the sampling time T . A direct application is in the field of haptic displays where virtual environment should feel like equivalent physical systems.

This paper focuses on issues related to implementing timed discrete-event systems (TDES) supervisors, and the concurrency and timing delay issues involved. In particular, we examine issues related to implementing TDES as sampled-data (SD) controllers. An SD controller is driven by a periodic clock and sees the system as a series of inputs and outputs. On each clock edge (tick event), it samples...

In this paper, we discuss the numerical solution of two nonlinear approximation problems. Many applications in electrical engineering, signal processing, and mathematical physics lead to the following problem. Let h be a linear combination of exponentials with real frequencies. Determine all frequencies, all coefficients, and the number of summands if finitely many perturbed, uniformly sampled ...

this paper  considersthe problem of  aliasing in information processing. the cubic spline method of interpolating the uniformly sampled signals and its effects on the autocorrelation estimation as well as the resulting spectral density function are studied by simulating random signals with known autocorrelation functions. hence, by comparison of aliased and alias-free cases, indications are ded...
