Current methods for off-road navigation using vehicle and terrain models to predict future vehicle response are limited by the accuracy of the models they use and can suffer if the world is unknown or if conditions change and the models become inaccurate. In this paper, an adaptive approach is presented that closes the loop around the vehicle predictions. This approach is applied to an autonomo...

Mathematical models are used to determine if infection wave fronts could occur by traveling geographically in a loop around a region or continent. These infectionwave fronts arise by Hopf bifurcation for some spatial models for infectious disease transmission with distributed-contacts. Periodic traveling waves are shown to exist for the spatial analog of the SIRS endemic model, in which the tem...

Let Σ be a compact Riemann surface of genus g, and G ̄SU(n). The central element c ̄ diag(e#id/n,... , e#id/n) for d coprime to n is introduced. The Verlinde formula is proved for the Riemann–Roch number of a line bundle over the moduli space g," (c,Λ) of representations of the fundamental group of a Riemann surface of genus g with one boundary component, for which the loop around the boundary is...

This note remarks that small-gain results for a negative feedback loop around a monotone system can be seen as consequences of results concerning an extended monotone system.

This paper shortly introduces features of a software system called PANDORA-BOX. 1 It shows a novel use of timelinebased planning as the core element in a dynamic training environment for crisis managers. A trainer is provided with a combination of planning and execution functionalities that allow him to maintain and adapt a “lesson plan” as the basis for the interaction between him and the invo...

We can find the response of an open-loop system due to given input using any of the methods presented in this textbook. The response obtained is strictly determined by information about the system mathematical model, system input, and system initial conditions. In control theory and its applications, given system input and initial conditions, the goal is for the system output to have a desired ...

Processes may require to execute the same activity in different stages of the process. A human modeler can express this by creating two different task nodes labeled with the same activity name (thus duplicating the task). However, as events in an event log often are labeled with the activity name, discovery algorithms that derive tasks based on labels only cannot discover models with duplicate ...
