      Is robustness of stochastic uncertain systems related to information theory and statistical mechanics? 

      Charalambous, C. D.; Kyprianou, Andreas (Affiliation: Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: School of Information Technology and Engineering, University of Ottawa, 161 Louis Pasteur, A519, Ottawa, Ont. K1N 6N5, CanadaCorrespondence Address: Charalambous, C.D.Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Cyprus, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: chadcha@ucy.ac.cy, 2005)
      Fifty years ago, when Claude Shannon was developing the Mathematical Theory of Communications, for reliable data transmission, which evolved into the subject of information theory, another discipline was developing dealing ...

      Minimum relative entropy criterion for damage detection and location 

      Kyprianou, Andreas; Mares, C.; Charalambous, C. D.; Mottershead, J. E. (2007)
      Relative entropy has been employed, as an alternative to other regularization methods, in solving ill-conditioned linear inverse problems. Damage detection when treated as structural modification imparted by the damage ...

      Numerical modelling for atomic-force-microscopy-based impedance imaging 

      Polydorides, N.; Charalambous, C. D.; Kyprianou, Andreas (2005)
      This paper is motivated by the pioneering work of O'Hayre et al. and of Kalinin and Bonnell who brought together the imaging modalities of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and electrical impedance spectroscopy. With the ...

      Relations between information theory, robustness and statistical mechanics of stochastic uncertain systems via large deviation theory 

      Charalambous, C. D.; Kyprianou, Andreas; Rezaei, F. (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2006)
      Robustness issues of stochastic uncertain controlled systems are intimately related to concepts from information theory and statistical mechanics. These relations are unveiled by using the theory of large deviations through ...
