Adaptive external torque estimation by means of tracking a Lyapunov function

Schaub, H.; Junkins, J.L.; Robinett, R.D. - 2010

A real-time method is presented to adoptively estimate three-dimensional unmodeled external torques acting on a spacecraft. This is accomplished by forcing the tracking error dynamics to follow the Lyapunov function underlying the feedback control law. For the case where the external torque is...

Modeling and identification of parallel and feedback nonlinear systems

Chen, Hai-Wen - 2009

Structural classification and parameter estimation (SCPE) methods have been used for studying single-input single. output (SISO) parallel and feedback nonlinear system models from input-output (I-O) measurements. The uniqueness of the I-O mappings of different models and parameter uniqueness of...

Metaheuristics for the Order Batching Problem in Manual Order Picking Systems

Henn, Sebastian; Koch, Sören; Doerner, Karl F.; … - 2010

In manual order picking systems, order pickers walk or drive through a distribution warehouse in order to collect items which are requested by (internal or external) customers. In order to perform these operations efficiently, it is usually required that customer orders are combined into (more...

A Stochastic Inventory Model with Price Quotation

Liu, Jun - 2009

This thesis studies a single item periodic review inventory problem with stochastic demand, random price and quotation cost. It differs from the traditional inventory model in that at the beginning of each period, a decision is made whether to pay the quotation cost to get the price information....

Distributing the Benefits from the Commons

Silvestre, Joaquim - 1993

"The common-property literature has often focused on the question of efficiency. Here we consider distributional issues instead. How should the benefits of the commons (say, a fishery) be distributed? We approach the question from the viewpoint of ownership rather than income redistribution. "A...
