  2. 1. Convex Duality Approach to Robust Stabilization of Uncertain Plants

    Author : Svetlana Iantchenko; Matematik LTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis we are study the problem of designing the controllers that are robust with respect to the parametric uncertainty. In Part I "The Rank-One Problem" we consider the class of systems with restriction that the structure of uncertainty is limited to a vector. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimal Decomposition in Real Interpolation and Duality in Convex Analysis

    Author : Japhet Niyobuhungiro; Natan Kruglyak; Irina Asekritova; Fernando Cobos; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the study of mathematical properties of exact minimizers for the K–,L–, and E– functionals of the theory of real interpolation. Recently exact minimizers for these functionals have appeared in important results in image processing. READ MORE

  5. 3. Contributions to dual subgradient optimization and maintenance scheduling

    Author : Emil Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Subgradient optimization; Lagrangian duality; convex programming; maintenance scheduling; integer optimization; Lagrangian duality;

    Abstract : This thesis analyses two topics within the area of mathematical optimization; dual subgradient methods and maintenance optimization. The first two papers consider dual subgradient methods, and the third paper considers maintenance optimization. READ MORE

  6. 4. Convex Optimization for Assignment and Generalized Linear Regression Problems

    Author : Efthymios Tsakonas; Björn Ottersten; Ami Wiesel; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis considers optimization techniques with applications in assignment and generalized linear regression problems. The first part of the thesis investigates the worst-case robust counterparts of combinatorial optimization problems with least squares (LS) cost functions, where the uncertainty lies on the linear transformation of the design variables.

  7. 5. Piecewise Linear Control Systems

    Author : Mikael Johansson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piecewise quadratic functions; Linear matrix inequalities; Convex optimization; Optimal control; Performance analysis; Piecewise linear Lyapunov functions; Piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions; Quadratic stability; Lyapunov stability; Piecewise linear systems; Nonlinear systems; Fuzzy systems; Hybrid systems.; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

    Abstract : This thesis treats analysis and design of piecewise linear control systems. Piecewise linear systems capture many of the most common nonlinearities in engineering systems, and they can also be used for approximation of other nonlinear systems. READ MORE
