The DICOSMOS (Distributed Control of Safety Critical Motion Systems) project started in 1993 and was from the beginning a cooperation between Mechatronics Lab at KTH, Computer Engineering at CTH and Automatic Control at LTH. The aim of DICOSMOS is to develop theory and methods to support the design of safety critical control applications. The scope is rather wide and a number of other projects ...

in this paper, the optimal boundary control problem for distributed parabolic systems, involving second orderoperator with an infinite number of variables, in which constant lags appear in the integral form both in the state equations and in the boundary condition is considered. some specific properties of the optimal control arediscussed.

In this paper we address the problem of covering narrow indoor or outdoor pathways using a network of mobile Cyclops cameras. We propose and validate a 1D sensingperformance model for the detection behavior of the camera. Based on this, we formulate the covering problem as a new type of 1D locational optimization problem that explicitly accounts for the camera-location dependence of the sensing...

Large linear systems of saddle-point type have arisen in a wide variety applications throughout computational science and engineering. The discretizations distributed control problems structure. numerical solution has attracted considerable interest recent years. In this work, we propose novel Braess–Sarazin multigrid relaxation scheme for finite element the problems, where use stiffness matrix...
