  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Multidimensional Piecewise Regular Arrays

    Author : Toomas P. Plaks; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polytopes; commutativity; systolic arrays; associativity; space-time mapping; piecewise regular arrays;

    Abstract : Regular arrays, particularly systolic arrays, have been the subject of continuous interest for the past 15 years. One reason is that they present an excellent example of the unity between hardware and software, especially for application-specific computations. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characterizing Piecewise Linear Neural Networks

    Author : Anton Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; automotive applications.; neural network; machine learning; piecewise linear;

    Abstract : Neural networks utilizing piecewise linear transformations between layers have in many regards become the default network type to use across a wide range of applications. Their superior training dynamics and generalization performance irrespective of the nature of the problem has resulted in these networks achieving state of the art results on a diverse set of tasks.

  6. 4. Robust Verification and Identification of Piecewise Affine Systems

    Author : Jakob Roll; Lennart Ljung; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Piecewise affine systems; Verification; Robustness; Identification; Mixed-integer programming;

    Abstract : iecewise affine systems constitute an important subclass of hybrid systems, and consist of several affine dynamic subsystems, between which switchings occur at different occasions. As for hybrid systems in general, there has been a growing interest for piecewise affine systems in recent years, and they occur in many application areas. READ MORE

  7. 5. Applied estimation of piecewise constant parameters

    Author : Soheil Salehpour; Alexander Medvedev; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Reglerteknik; Control Engineering;

    Abstract : A time-varying linear system is a realistic description of many industrial processes, and nonlinear behavior can then also be accounted for. Then, we can consider a linear system with time-varying parameters as the model uncertainty, \emph{e.g.} an AR(X) model or an affine input-output approximation. READ MORE
