Evaluation of identifier based and & non-identifier based adaptive supervisory & control using a benchmark example
(2010)
Several classes of identifier and non-identifier based adaptive control schemes using a supervisory switching logic have been proposed in the literature. These schemes are based on different assumptions and claim to guarantee ...
A new family of divergence measures for tests of fit
(2010)
Summary: The aim of this work is to investigate a new family of divergence measures based on the recently introduced Basu, Harris, Hjort and Jones (BHHJ) measure of divergence (Biometrika 85, 549-559). The new family is ...
Divergence form operators in Reifenberg flat domains
(2010)
We study the boundary regularity of solutions of elliptic operators in divergence form with C0,α coefficients or operators which are small perturbations of the Laplacian in non-smooth domains. We show that, as in the case ...
Banded and tapered estimates for autocovariance matrices and the linear process bootstrap
(2010)
We address the problem of estimating the autocovariance matrix of a stationary process. Under short range dependence assumptions, convergence rates are established for a gradually tapered version of the sample autocovariance ...
Numerical conformal mapping domain decomposition and the mapping of quadrilaterals
(World Scientific, 2010)
Quantitative stability for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue in Reifenberg flat domains in RN
(2010)
In this paper we prove that if Ω and Ω′ are close enough for the complementary Hausdorff distance and their boundaries satisfy some geometrical and topological conditions then| λ1 - λ1′ | ≤ C | Ω △ Ω′ |frac(α, N) where λ1 ...
An improved divergence information criterion for the determination of the order of an ar process
(2010)
In this article we propose a modification of the recently introduced divergence information criterion (DIC, Mattheou et al., 2009) for the determination of the order of an autoregressive process and show that it is an ...
Numerical simulations of cessation flows of a Bingham plastic with the augmented Lagrangian method
(2010)
The augmented Lagrangian/Uzawa method has been used to study benchmark one-dimensional cessation flow problems of a Bingham fluid, such as the plane Couette flow, and the plane, round, and annular Poiseuille flows. The ...
Determination of the rheological parameters of self-compacting concrete matrix using slump flow test
(2010)
The classification of a concrete mixture as self-compacting (SCC) is performed by a series of empirical characterization tests that have been designed to assess not only the flowability of the mixture but also its segregation ...
Unsteady circular Couette flow of a Bingham plastic with the Augmented Lagrangian Method
(2010)
Numerical simulations are undertaken for unsteady flows of an ideal Bingham fluid in a circular Couette viscometer. The main difficulties in such simulations are caused by the non-differentiability of the constitutive ...
