A Qualitative Analysis Of Hybrid Control Systems, Anca Georgeta Williams May 2007

A Qualitative Analysis Of Hybrid Control Systems, Anca Georgeta Williams

Dissertations and Theses

Hybrid Control Systems are increasingly investigated as models for control systems where the interaction between continuous and discrete processes is tightly integrated. As yet, there is no general agreement as to what constitutes a canonical hybrid system. Rather various subclasses of systems combining continuous evolution and discrete event characteristics are analyzed for each application. In this dissertation we first unify the presentation of hybrid systems with a rich model which encompasses most examples of interest. We classify the available results and show how they fit together within the different subcategories. In the main part of the dissertation we prove that …


Some Geometrical Aspects Of The Cone Linear Complementarity Problem., Madhur Malik Dr. Jan 2007

Some Geometrical Aspects Of The Cone Linear Complementarity Problem., Madhur Malik Dr.

Doctoral Theses

Cone Linear Complementarity ProblemLet V be a finite dimensional real inner product space and K be a closed convex cone in V. Given a linear transformation L : V → V and a vector q ∈ V the cone linear complementarity problem or linear complementarity problem over K, denoted as LCP(K, L, q), is to find a vector x ∈ K such thatL(x) + q ∈ K+ and hx, L(x) + qi = 0,where h., .i denotes an inner product on V and K is the dual cone of K defined as:K∗ := {y ∈ V : hx, yi ≥ …
