Topics in feedback control stabilization.
(1997)In this dissertation, we first show that for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems, the robust output feedback stabilizability is equivalent to the existence of robust output Lyapunov functions with the small control ... -
Topics on the Scalar Casimir Effect
(2010)Recently the Casimir effect has been getting more popular because of -
A topological approach to database theory /
(1984)The data modeling techniques which are currently used to construct the logical view of data have made use of trees, graphs, and sets, as underlying data structures. However, these structures have certain limitations when ... -
