Differential Games and Nonlinear \boldmath$\cal H_\infty$ Control in Infinite Dimensions
Authors: Maciej Kocan, Pierpaolo Soravia
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2000)

This paper studies the ${\cal H}_\infty$ control problem for a nonlinear, unbounded, infinite dimensional system with state constraints. We characterize the solvability of the problem by means of a Hamilton--Jacobi--Isaacs (HJI) equation, proving that the ${\cal H}_\infty$ problem can be solved if and only if the HJI equation has a positive definite viscosity supersolution, vanishing and continuous at the origin. In order to do so, the standard definition of the ${\cal H}_\infty$ problem has to be relaxed by using the theory of differential games. We apply our results to the one phase Stefan problem.

Whether students are preparing for careers in business, information management, education, law, or public policy, no other book equips them with the broad understanding needed to effectively exploit these powerful technologies.
Activity-sensitive clock tree construction for low power
Authors: Chunhong Chen, Changjun Kang, Majid Sarrafzadeh
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 international symposium on Low power electronics and design (2002)

This paper presents an activity-sensitive clock tree construction technique for low power design of VLSI clock networks. We introduce the term of node difference based on module activity information, and show its relationship with the power consumption. A binary clock tree is built using the node difference between different modules to optimize the power consumption due to the interconnections (i.e., clock gating signals and clock edges). We also develop a method to determine gating signals with minimum number of transitions. After the clock tree is constructed, the gating signals are optimized for further power savings.
Internet access in the European Union and in the United States
Authors: Johannes M. Bauer, Michel Berne, Carleen F. Maitland
Venue: Telematics and Informatics (2002)

In Europe and the US demand for Internet access is growing rapidly. Recent data provide evidence that the gap between these regions is once again increasing. Controlling for selected structural and corporate strategic factors, this paper examines the effects of public policies towards traditional communications infrastructures on Internet access. We analyze the nexus between these variables at a qualitative and quantitative level. Based on a pooled set of data, our empirical results indicate a significant influence of policies affecting market entry and the pricing of services on Internet access. Thus, contrary to the view of the Internet as a regulation-free space, important direct and indirect effects originate from regulatory policy.
Trajectory Control and Interconnection of 1D and nD Systems
Authors: P. Rocha, J. Wood
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

In this paper we examine the relationship between control viewed as concatenation of trajectories and control viewed as interconnection of systems. We show that, for one-dimensional linear time-invariant systems, the ability to obtain a given subsystem by regular interconnection (a prerequisite for any feedback-type structure) is equivalent to the ability to drive any trajectory into that subsystem. However, in the case of multidimensional systems, the former is a stronger property than the latter. Trajectory controllability can, however, be expressed as a regular interconnection of behaviors in an extended variable space by introducing latent or auxiliary variables. This leads as a by-product to the notion of controlling a system by means of latent variables.

Review of Reasoning About Knowledge by Ronald Fagin, Joseph Halpern, Yoram Moses and Moshe Verdi
Authors: Alexander Dekhtyar
Venue: ACM SIGACT News (1997)

How much do you know ? How much do you know about what you know ? How much do you know about what someone else knows ? How much that someone else knows about what you know about what she knows, and how much do you know about that ?We started with a very simple question about knowledge, and almost immediately the chain of questions lead to complicated and hard to comprehend ones. Classic logic teaches us how one can reason about truth and falsehood of statements, but can it help us if we want to reason about our (or someone else's) knowledge ? And if the answer to the last question is "yes", then how can we achieve this goal ?These are just a few of the questions, that served as motivation for the book Reasoning About Knowledge. In the book authors discuss the extentions of classical logic that encapsulate the desired meaning of the statements such as "I know X", "I know that Alice knows X" and "Everyone knows that I know X".In the first chapters the book provides a number of motivating examples which lead the reader to an informal understanding of the authors' concept of knowledge. After that the notion of knowledge is being formalized by introduction of modal operators for knowledge, common knowledge and distributed knowledge into the classic Propositional logic. Kripke structures are introduced as models at the same time and the obtained modal logics are then studied closely with respect to their soundeness and completeness properties, as well as the complexity of decision procedures.Once the general background is layed out, authors start discussing a variety of applications of knowledge-based reasoning to other problems in such fields as AI and Communications. A number of chapters of the book are devoted to discussing multi-agent systems and their behavior. A concept of Common Knowledge and its relation to Agreement and Cooperation between agents is also discussed.The more detailed summary of the book is provided below.
Binary partitions revisited
Authors: Øystein J. Rødseth, James A. Sellers
Venue: Journal of Combinatorial Theory Series A (2002)

The restricted binary partition function bk(n) enumerates the number of ways to represent n as n=2a0+2a1+...+2aj with 0 ≤ a0 ≤ a1 ≤ ... ≤ aj < k. We study the question of how large a power of 2 divides the difference bk(2r+2n)-bk-2(2rn) for fixed k ≥ 3, r ≥ 1, and all n ≥ 1.

Improving the scalability of the CORBA event service with a multi-agent load balancing algorithm
Authors: K. S. Ho, H. V. Leong
Venue: Software&mdash;Practice Experience (2002)

The event service of the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is useful in supporting decoupled and asynchronous communication between distributed object components. However, the specification of the event service standard does not require implementation to provide facilities to guarantee efficient event/data delivery. Consequently, applications in which a large number of objects need to communicate via an event service channel may suffer from poor performance. In this paper, a generic CORBA-based framework is proposed to tackle this scalability problem. Two techniques are applied; namely, event channel federation and load balancing. The solution is transparent in the sense that it exports the same IDL interface as the original event service. We explore three critical dimensions underlying the design of the load-balancing algorithm and conduct experiments to evaluate their impact on the overall performance of the framework. The results provide some useful insights into the improvement of the scalability of the event service.
Visual Quantum Mechanics: Selected Topics with Computer Generated Animations of Quantum Mechanical Phenomena with Cdrom, 1st edition
Authors: Bernd Thaller
Venue:  (2000)

:Visual Quantum Mechanics uses the computer-generated animations found on the accompanying CD-ROM to introduce, motivate, and illustrate the concepts explained in the book. By watching QuickTime movies of the solutions of Schrodinger's equation, students will develop a feeling for the behavior of quantum-mechanical systems, which cannot be gained by conventional means." "There is no special emphasis on computational physics or requirement that the reader know a symbolic computation package. Visual Quantum Mechanics carefully describes the mathematical principles of the theory and aims to fill a gap between classical quantum mechanics texts and mathematical physics books. Despite the presentation of rather advanced topics, the book requires only calculus, making complicated results more comprehensible via visualization. The CD-ROM provides easy access to more than 300 digital movies, animated illustrations, and interactive pictures. The supplementary material also includes hundreds of Mathematica notebooks for the reader's own experiments and Mathematica-related software for the numerical solution of Schrodinger's equation.
