Structural modification. Part 1: Rotational receptances
(2005)
The inverse problem of assigning natural frequencies and antiresonances by a modification to the stiffness, mass and damping of a structure is addressed. Very simple modifications such as the addition of masses and grounded ...

Technol. and Eng., University of Ottawa, 800 King Edward Ave., Ottawa, Ont. K1N 6N5, Canadaemail: frezaei@site.uottawa.ca, 2004)
This paper is concerned with fully observable nonlinear stochastically controlled diffusions, in which uncertainty is described by a relative entropy constraint between the nominal measure and the uncertain measure, while ...
Measurement of liquid crystal film thickness using interferometry
(2010)
Thickness measurements of thin films having thickness less than 1 µm are difficult to obtain by an interferometer. These difficulties arise from the overlap of the fringes from the upper and lower surfaces of the thin ...
Cointegration and nonstationarity in the context of multiresolution analysis
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2011)
Cointegration has established itself as a powerful means of projecting out long-term trends from time-series data in the context of econometrics. Recent work by the current authors has further established that cointegration ...

The fundamental question, which will be addressed in this talk are the relations between dissipation, which is a concept of robustness, entropy rate, which is a concept of information theory, and statistical mechanics. ...
Is robustness of stochastic uncertain systems related to information theory and statistical mechanics?

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 ...
