Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the potential of a selfpowered gliding aircraft to remain aloft indefinitely. We focus specifically on operations in the jet stream where pe...
Abstract. We address a fundamental mismatch between the combinations of dynamics that occur in complex physical systems and the limited kinds of dynamics supported in analysis. Mod...
Abstract. Control engineering is a field of major industrial importance as it offers principles for engineering controllable physical devices, such as cell phones, television sets,...
Radial basis functions (RBFs) have found important applications in areas such as signal processing, medical imaging, and neural networks since the early 1980's. Several appli...
Hybrid systems are characterized by the hybrid evolution of their state: A part of the state changes discretely, the other part changes continuously over time. Typically, modern c...
