... integration techniques of sufficiently high order. Stability-like properties are proved. Numerical simulations show that the proposed sampled-data control law offers the best closed-loop performance when compared with nonlinear direct digital design for the trajectory tracking of a rotorcraft-like UAV modeled...

... integrated numerically. The results of these integrations predict the success (into the basket) or failure (off the outside of the rim) of the basketball shot. A series of examples are presented. The examples show that minor changes in the initial conditions can produce major changes in the subsequent ball...

...Lars Johansson This paper is concerned with the integration of the differential equations for the Euler parameters, for the purpose of describing the orientation of a rigid body. This can be done using standard methods, but in some cases, such as in the presence of impulsive forces, the angular...

... double-integrator system: dx 1 dt = x 2 (53) dx 2 dt = u Note that the proposed design assumes a preselected control law at the first place and supplements this baseline control with a unique optimization action. The selection of a double integrator...

... approximation of a more detailed model, i.e. , by letting the adsorption coefficient between gas and substrate tend to infinity. Further, we present a fast integration algorithm based partly on a “method of lines” space-discretization, partly on the “method of characteristics” for “quasi linear” hyperbolic...
