This paper presents a scheme to construct distributed observers for a system consisting of agents interconnected in a graph structure. The scheme is an iterative procedure to improve the observers with respect to global performance. It is modular in the sense that each agent iterates using only local model information. As a consequence, the complexity of the scheme scales linearly with the size of
This paper presents a readily computable formula for the real stability radius with respect to an arbitrary stability region in the complex plane.
In this study, the use of energy carriers based on renewable energy sources in battery-powered electric vehicles (BPEVs), fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs) is compared regarding energy efficiency, emission and cost. There is the potential to double the primary energy compared with the current level by utilising vehi
We propose a new dynamic and efficient bounding volume hierarchy for breakable objects undergoing structured and/or unstructured motion. Our object-space method is based on different ways to incrementally update the hierarchy during simulation by exploiting temporal coherence and lazy evaluation techniques. This leads to significant advantages in terms of execution speed. Furthermore, we also show
A simple second order feed-forward disturbance attenuation problem is analyzed. The problem has one free parameter, the control weight ρ in the loss function. It is found that controller structure and uniqueness for H∞-control, in the optimal case, changes when ρ is varied. Sensitivity to initial conditions is also drastically changed. The example is simple enough to allow a solution by formula ma
Fluid biomarkers are revolutionizing the diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative diseases by enabling earlier diagnosis and disease monitoring. In particular, blood-based biomarkers have emerged as a minimally invasive and scalable alternative to cerebrospinal fluid analysis. Recent advances in blood-based tau biomarkers have shown high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Other
This paper is concerned with a recently proposed scalable protocol for vehicle platooning, known as the serial consensus protocol. This achieves coordination of second-order integrator systems through a series connection of first-order conventional consensus protocols, and has been theoretically shown to have advantageous stability and performance properties. We implement this protocol on a vehicl
Circular supply chains (CSCs) depend on enhanced supply chain visibility (SCV) to track and manage resource flows and thereby enable efficient decision-making. Despite confronting silo mentalities, fragmented information, technological barriers, resistance to change, and a lack of standardization, data sharing remains crucial for SCV and circularity. In this study, following the Delphi method, 22
