Direct adaptive tracking control for a class of pure-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems based on fuzzy-approximation
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Abstract and Applied Analysis. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2014/462468 Open Access The problem of fuzzy-based direct adaptive tracking control is considered for a class of pure-feedback stochastic nonlinear systems. During the controller design, fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the packaged unknown nonlinearities, and then a novel direct adaptive controller is constructed via backstepping technique. It is shown that the proposed controller guarantees that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded in probability and the tracking error eventually converges to a small neighborhood around …
A Probabilistic Analysis to Quantify the Effect of March 11, 2004, Attacks in Madrid on the March 14 Elections in Spain: A Dynamic Modelling Approach
2015
[EN] The bomb attacks in Madrid three days before the general elections of March 14, 2004, and their possible influence on the victory of PSOE (Spanish Workers Socialist Party), defeating PP (Popular Party), have been a matter of study from several points of view (i.e., sociological, political, or statistical). In this paper, we present a dynamic model based on a system of differential equations such that it, using data from Spanish CIS (National Center of Sociological Research), describes the evolution of voting intention of the Spanish people over time. Using this model, we conclude that the probability is very low that the PSOE would have won had the attack not happened.Moreover, after t…
On ordered categories as a framework for fuzzification of algebraic and topological structures
2009
Using the framework of ordered categories, the paper considers a generalization of the fuzzification machinery of algebraic structures introduced by Rosenfeld as well as provides a new approach to fuzzification of topological structures, which amounts to fuzzifying the underlying ''set'' of a structure in a suitably compatible way, leaving the structure itself crisp. The latter machinery allows the so-called ''double fuzzification'', i.e., a fuzzification of something that is already fuzzified.
Categorically algebraic topology versus universal topology
2013
This paper continues to develop the theory of categorically algebraic (catalg) topology, introduced as a common framework for the majority of the existing many-valued topological settings, to provide convenient means of interaction between different approaches. Motivated by the results of universal topology of H. Herrlich, we show that a concrete category is fibre-small and topological if and only if it is concretely isomorphic to a subcategory of a category of catalg topological structures, which is definable by topological co-axioms.
Topological systems and Artin glueing
2012
Abstract Using methods of categorical fuzzy topology, the paper shows a relation between topological systems of S. Vickers and Artin glueing of M. Artin. Inspired by the problem of interrelations between algebra and topology, we show the necessary and sufficient conditions for the category, obtained by Artin glueing along an adjoint functor, to be (co)algebraic and (co)monadic, incorporating the respective result of G. Wraith. As a result, we confirm the algebraic nature of the category of topological systems, showing that it is monadic.
Cluster Analysis Tailored to Structure Change of Tropical Cyclones Using a Very Large Number of Trajectories
2020
AbstractMajor airstreams in tropical cyclones (TCs) are rarely described from a Lagrangian perspective. Such a perspective, however, is required to account for asymmetries and time dependence of the TC circulation. We present a procedure that identifies main airstreams in TCs based on trajectory clustering. The procedure takes into account the TC’s large degree of inherent symmetry and is suitable for a very large number of trajectories . A large number of trajectories may be needed to resolve both the TC’s inner-core convection as well as the larger-scale environment. We define similarity of trajectories based on their shape in a storm-relative reference frame, rather than on proximity in …
Multitemporal Mosaicing for Sentinel-3/FLEX Derived Level-2 Product Composites
2020
The increasing availability of remote sensing data raises important challenges in terms of operational data provision and spatial coverage for conducting global studies and analyses. In this regard, existing multitemporal mosaicing techniques are generally limited to producing spectral image composites without considering the particular features of higher-level biophysical and other derived products, such as those provided by the Sentinel-3 (S3) and Fluorescence Explorer (FLEX) tandem missions. To relieve these limitations, this article proposes a novel multitemporal mosaicing algorithm specially designed for operational S3-derived products and also studies its applicability within the FLEX…
Automorphism Groups of Certain Rational Hypersurfaces in Complex Four-Space
2014
The Russell cubic is a smooth contractible affine complex threefold which is not isomorphic to affine three-space. In previous articles, we discussed the structure of the automorphism group of this variety. Here we review some consequences of this structure and generalize some results to other hypersurfaces which arise as deformations of Koras–Russell threefolds.
Limits to the fixed center approximation to Faddeev equations: The case of theϕ(2170)
2011
The fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations has been used lately with success in the study of bound systems of three hadrons. It is also important to set the limits of the approach in those problems to prevent proliferation of inaccurate predictions. In this paper, we study the case of the $\ensuremath{\phi}(2170)$, which has been described by means of Faddeev equations as a resonant state of $\ensuremath{\phi}$ and $K\overline{K}$, and show the problems derived from the use of the fixed center approximation in its study. At the same time, we also expose the limitations of an alternative approach recently proposed.
On finite products of totally permutable groups
1996
In this paper the structure of finite groups which are the product of two totally permutable subgroups is studied. In fact we can obtain the -residual, where is a formation, -projectors and -normalisers, where is a saturated formation, of the group from the corresponding subgroups of the factor subgroups.
