  1. 1. Allies Yet Rivals : Input Joint Ventures and Their Competitive Effects

    Author : Mikael Nordberg; Lars Hultkrantz; Mats Bergman; Tommaso Valletti; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Economics; joint venture; input; infrastructure; quality; oligopoly; Nationalekonomi; nationalekonomi; Economics;

    Abstract : Essay I explores the competitive effects of input joint ventures, more precisely the connection between horizontal product differentiation and competition. Four quantity-setting downstream firms jointly and symmetrically own two upstream firms in pairs. READ MORE

  2. 2. Input Estimation in Structural Dynamics

    Author : Lars Nordström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sensitivity analysis; dynamic programming; input estimation; load identification; ill-posedness; regularization; indirect force measurement; inverse problems;

    Abstract : Knowledge of time-varying excitation is of importance in the design of a wide range of engineering applications, from spacecraft and processing plants to electronic circuits. Regardless of the actual application or underlying physics, the expected input will play a key role in the determination of adequate system properties and parameters. READ MORE

  3. 3. Input Estimation for Teleoperation : Using Minimum Jerk Human Motion Models to Improve Telerobotic Performance

    Author : Christian Smith; Patric Jensfelt; Herman Bruyninckx; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Robot; Teleoperation; Human Motion Models; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis treats the subject of applying human motion models to create estimators for the input signals of human operators controlling a telerobotic system.In telerobotic systems, the control signal input by the operator is often treated as a known quantity. However, there are instances where this is not the case. READ MORE

  4. 4. Optimal input design for nonlinear dynamical systems : a graph-theory approach

    Author : Patricio E. Valenzuela Pacheco; Cristian R. Rojas; Roland Hildebrand; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Input design; Markov chains; system identification; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Optimal input design concerns the design of an input sequence to maximize the information retrieved from an experiment. The design of the input sequence is performed by optimizing a cost function related to the intended model application. Several approaches to input design have been proposed, with results mainly on linear models. READ MORE

  5. 5. Development and evaluation of methods for control of multiple-input multiple output systems

    Author : Fredrik Bengtsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Hold-input; Unreliable communication links; Decentralized control; MIMO systems.; Delays; LQG control; Input-output scaling; Control configuration selection; Gramian based measures;

    Abstract : In control, the most common type of system is the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system, where the same input may affect multiple outputs, or conversely, the same output is affected by multiple inputs. In this thesis two methods for controlling MIMO systems are examined, namely linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control and decentralized control, and some of the difficulties associated with them.
