Purpose – Based on the inverse kinematics and task space dynamic model, this paper aims to design a high-precision trajectory tracking controller for a 2-DoF translational parallel manipulator (TPM) driven by linear motors. Design/methodology/approach – The task space dynamic model of a...

Purpose Branched articulated robots (BARs) are highly non-linear systems; accurate dynamic identification is critical for model-based control in high-speed and heavy-load applications. However, due to some dynamic parameters being redundant, dynamic models are singular, which increases the...

In this paper, we develop a performance efficiency value by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) to integrate five perspectives of CAMEL (Capital Adequacy, Asset Quality, Management, Earnings, Liquidity), which is used by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to evaluate banking...

We present two methods of constructing multivariate compound distributions and investigate the corresponding infinitely divisible and compound Poisson distributions. We then show that the multivariate compound Poisson distributions can be derived as the limiting distributions of the sums of...

For a sequence of independent integer-valued random variables {Xni}, we give a direct proof of the convergence of the distribution of Sn=Xn1+...+Xnn to a compound Poisson distribution with discrete compounding distribution. In our proof, we trace the change in the asymptotical behavior of Sn...

By using ad hoc value transfer protocols, this paper offers a methodological contribution and provides accurate per hectare estimates of the economic value of some selected ecosystem services for all forest biomes in the world, identified following the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment taxonomy...
