Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems
by Magdi S. Mahmoud Yuanqing XiaIn recent years, control systems have become more sophisticated in order to meet increased performance and safety requirements for modern technological systems. Engineers are becoming more aware that conventional feedback control design for a complex system may result in unsatisfactory performance, or even instability, in the event of malfunctions in actuators, sensors or other system components. In order to circumvent such weaknesses, new approaches to control system design have emerged which can tolerate component malfunctions while maintaining acceptable stability and performance. These types of control systems are often known as fault-tolerant control systems (FTCS). More precisely, FTCS are control systems which possess the ability to accommodate component failure automatically.Analysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems comprehensively covers the analysis and synthesis methods of fault tolerant control systems. It unifies the methods for developing controllers and filters for a wide class of dynamical systems and reports on the recent technical advances in design methodologies. MATLAB® is used throughout the book, to demonstrate methods of analysis and design.Key features:* Provides advanced theoretical methods and typical practical applications* Provides access to a spectrum of control design methods applied to industrial systems* Includes case studies and illustrative examples* Contains end-of-chapter problemsAnalysis and Synthesis of Fault-Tolerant Control Systems is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners working in this area, and is also a valuable source of information for graduates and senior undergraduates in control, mechanical, aerospace, electrical and mechatronics engineering departments.
Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approach (Automation and Control Engineering)
by Gang FengFuzzy logic control (FLC) has proven to be a popular control methodology for many complex systems in industry, and is often used with great success as an alternative to conventional control techniques. However, because it is fundamentally model free, conventional FLC suffers from a lack of tools for systematic stability analysis and controller design. To address this problem, many model-based fuzzy control approaches have been developed, with the fuzzy dynamic model or the Takagi and Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model-based approaches receiving the greatest attention. Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approach offers a unique reference devoted to the systematic analysis and synthesis of model-based fuzzy control systems. After giving a brief review of the varieties of FLC, including the T–S fuzzy model-based control, it fully explains the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems. This enables the book to be self-contained and provides a basis for later chapters, which cover: T–S fuzzy modeling and identification via nonlinear models or data Stability analysis of T–S fuzzy systems Stabilization controller synthesis as well as robust H∞ and observer and output feedback controller synthesis Robust controller synthesis of uncertain T–S fuzzy systems Time-delay T–S fuzzy systems Fuzzy model predictive control Robust fuzzy filtering Adaptive control of T–S fuzzy systems A reference for scientists and engineers in systems and control, the book also serves the needs of graduate students exploring fuzzy logic control. It readily demonstrates that conventional control technology and fuzzy logic control can be elegantly combined and further developed so that disadvantages of conventional FLC can be avoided and the horizon of conventional control technology greatly extended. Many chapters feature application simulation examples and practical numerical examples based on MATLAB®.

Analysis and Transceiver Design for the MIMO Broadcast Channel (Foundations in Signal Processing, Communications and Networking #8)
by Raphael HungerThis book deals with the optimization-based joint design of the transmit and receive filters in MIMO broadcast channel in which the user terminals may be equipped with several antenna elements. Furthermore, the maximum performance of the system in the high power regime as well as the set of all feasible quality-of-service requirements is analyzed. First, a fundamental duality is derived that holds between the MIMO broadcast channel and virtual MIMO multiple access channel. This duality construct allows for the efficient solution of problems originally posed in the broadcast channel in the dual domain where a possibly hidden convexity can often be revealed. On the basis of the established duality result, the gradient-projection algorithm is introduced as a tool to solve constrained optimization problems to global optimality under certain conditions. The gradient-projection tool is then applied to solving the weighted sum rate maximization problem which is a central optimization that arises in any network utility maximization. In the high power regime, a simple characterization of the obtained performance becomes possible due to the fact that the weighted sum rate utility converges to an affine asymptote in the logarithmic power domain. We find closed form expressions for these asymptotes which allows for a quantification of the asymptotic rate loss that linear transceivers have to face with respect to dirty paper coding. In the last part, we answer the fundamental question of feasibility in quality-of-service based optimizations with inelastic traffic that features strict delay constraints. Under the assumption of linear transceivers, not every set of quality-of-service requirements might be feasible making the power minimization problem with given lower bound constraints on the rate for example infeasible in these cases. We derive a complete description of the quality-of-service feasibility region for arbitrary channel matrices.

Analysis of Amyloid Using Various Methods
by Josef Makovitzky Levente Emődy Thomas Raul Appel Beáta Marianna KovácsThis book explores the world of amyloid, consisting of heterogeneous deposits that have captivated scientists for decades. Amyloid, characterized by its highly organized insoluble protein fibrils exhibiting cross-layered quaternary beta-sheet structures, comprises diverse components such as the P-component, sialic acid, O-acyl sialic acid, and sGAG components. This assembly forms an anisotropic entity that induces birefringence in linearly polarized light, creating a distinctive optical signature. Initially linked to human disease and tissue damage, the predominant idea that amyloid only harms the host has been challenged. Recent pioneering studies have uncovered the existence of functional amyloid fibers in unexpected domains, from bacteria to mammals. Advances during the 1960s and 1970s, along with seminal immunohistochemical investigations, gave impetus to immunobiological analysis of amyloid in the 1980s. Notable work, such as the exploration of amyloid fiber staining techniques and the comprehensive study of histochemical properties, have enriched the understanding of this enigmatic deposit. The book presents a current overview of amyloid research in health and disease, with contributions from the prestigious biennial Amyloid Forum. Written by a distinguished researcher with nearly five decades of experience, the book encompasses five meticulously elaborated chapters. From human and animal deposits to bacterial formations, isolated fibrils, prions, and amyloid-related neurodegenerative disorders, each category of deposit is given a thorough examination. Innovative topo-optical staining techniques - polarization microscopy, fluorescence microscopy and confocal laser scanning fluorescence microscopy - reveal intricate structures in all species. Coherent structural features are authenticated by various staining reactions and different digestions. A key segment dissects animal prion fibers, revealing their intricate architecture by topo-optical reactions and uncovering selective arrangements of components. To complete this, the book confirms the postulated helical structure of the amyloid fiber. This innovative idea is validated by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy, which reveals ordered and helically stacked amyloid protein fibrils in β-sheet conformation. Associations with chondroitin, heparan sulfate, and looser sphingolipid linkages further unravel the structural complexities of amyloid. Also offers an insightful journey into the realm of amyloid, combining historical knowledge with cutting-edge methodologies, redefining the understanding of this intricate phenomenon.
