Output Tracking Through Singularities
Authors: R. M. Hirschorn
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2001)

Output tracking for nonlinear systems is complicated by the existence of "singular submanifolds." These are surfaces on which the decoupling matrix loses rank. To provide additional control action we identify a class of smooth vector fields whose integral curves can be incrementally tracked using rapidly switched piecewise constant controls. At discrete times the resulting piecewise smooth state trajectories approach the integral curve being tracked. These discontinuous controllers are applied to sliding mode control---we use incremental tracking to move the state toward the sliding surface. The resulting controller achieves approximate output tracking in situations where the usual approach to sliding mode control fails due to the loss of control action on the singular submanifold.

2D simulation of a silicon MESFET with a nonparabolic hydrodynamical model based on the maximum entropy principle
Authors: Vittorio Romano
Venue: Journal of Computational Physics (2002)

A hydrodynamical model for electron transport in silicon semiconductors, which is free of any fitting parameters, has been formulated on the basis of the maximum entropy principle. The model considers the energy band to be described by the Kane dispersion relation and includes electron-nonpolar optical phonon and electron-acoustic phonon scattering. The set of balance equations of the model forms a quasilinear hyperbolic system and for its numerical integration a recent high-order shock-capturing central differencing scheme has been employed. Simulations of an n+-n-n+ silicon diode have been presented and comparison with Monte Carlo data shows the good accuracy of the model and performance of the numerical scheme. Here the results of simulations of a silicon MESFET in the two-dimensional case are presented. Both the model and the numerical scheme demonstrate their accuracy and efficiency as CAD tools for modeling realistic submicron electron devices.
Supporting component-based reuse in CARE
Authors: David Hemer, Peter Lindsay
Venue: Australian Computer Science Communications (2002)

The increased reliance on software in critical applications suggests a greater need for formal methods to be used in the development of such software. A number of formal languages and toolsets exist for developing formally specified and verified software; however experience tells us that the development of formally verified software, even with the current tool support, is an expensive process.By adopting a component-based development methodology, whereby software is developed from reusable components, significant savings can be made. In particular the amount of proof --- arguably the most expensive and difficult part of formal development --- can be greatly reduced by proving the correctness of reusable components once, off-line, prior to their use.Tools are required which support the user in adapting and retrieving components from libraries of formally specified components. This paper describes extensions to the CARE toolset that support adaptation and retrieval of reusable components.

SAWM: a tool for secure and authenticated web metering
Authors: Carlo Blundo, Stelvio Cimato
Venue: Proceedings of the 14th international conference on Software engineering and knowledge engineering (2002)

The aim of a metering system is the accurate measure of the number of accesses to a Web page in order to have feedback on the effectiveness of the advertising on the net. At the present, there are no standard means to measure the exposure of Web pages as well as the impact of online advertising campaigns. Indeed "traditional" metering techniques are afflicted by hit inflation and hit shaving attacks. In this paper we propose a framework to accurately count the number of visits to a Web site relying on cryptographic primitives. In this way it is possible to avoid cheating by any of the agents in such a framework. Furthermore, a viable implementation of a tool to securely monitor a Web site is discussed.

Surevey and Review
Authors: Nick Trefethen
Venue: SIAM Review (2001)

Eigenvalue problems have been one of the mainstays of applied mathematics since the nineteenth century---since long before Hilbert coined the word eigenvalue (or rather Eigenwert) around 1900. How will a structure oscillate in response to inputs at various frequencies? Will an equilibrium state of a solid or fluid system be observable physically, or is it unstable to small perturbations? How fast will an iteration converge? Eigenvalues can answer these questions. It is often convenient to think simply of a matrix or linear operator A, with eigenvalues determined by the eigenvalue equation Ax = $\lambda$ x. As often as not, however, eigenvalues actually arise in applications not in this linear manner but through a quadratic equation ($\lambda^{\mbox{\tiny 2}}$ M + $\lambda$ C + K) x = 0, where M, C, and K are "mass," "damping," and "stiffness" matrices. Our Survey and Review article in this issue, by Françoise Tisseur and Karl Meerbergen, surveys the mathematics, the numerical analysis, and various applications of problems of this kind. To see the master plan of the article, begin with Table 1.1. Are M, C, and K Hermitian positive definite? Then there is positive damping, with all eigenvalues in the left half of the complex plane. Are M and K real symmetric positive definite but C skew-symmetric, as happens with undamped rotating systems? Then all the eigenvalues are pure imaginary. Tisseur and Meerbergen explore special cases such as these systematically and show how they affect the eigenvalues, the physics, and the choice of numerical algorithms. These authors are particular experts on the numerics, and they survey dense algorithms for smaller problems, iterative algorithms for larger problems, and available software. Thus this paper illustrates one of the big trends of applied mathematics of the past fifty years: the increasing importance of linear algebra brought about by computing.
A two-step approach for interactive pre-integrated volume rendering of unstructured grids
Authors: Stefan Roettger, Thomas Ertl
Venue: Proceedings of the 2002 IEEE symposium on Volume visualization and graphics (2002)

In the area of volume visualization the cell projection technique is used widely to display unstructured tetrahedral grids. In this field, the pre-integration of the ray integral has proven to be a powerful method for the display of tetrahedral grids with high quality and at interactive frame rates. Besides the actual performance of the projected tetrahedra algorithm of Shirley and Tuchman, the degree of interactivity is also limited by the update rate of the pre-integrated ray integral and the performance of the graphics card at high screen resolutions. In order to widen those two bottlenecks, we propose a hardware-accelerated pre-integration approach and a rendering method which applies standard 2D texture mapping instead of the previously used 3D texturing. As a result, the update rate of the transfer function is increased by almost a factor of hundred and the rasterization of the tetrahedra is sped up by up to a factor of three without degrading accuracy. As a side effect, pre-integrated unstructured volume rendering can be utilized on a broader range of graphics platforms, since the support of 2D texture mapping is much more common. In summary, our two-step approach greatly increases the interactivity of unstructured pre-integrated volume rendering allowing for a much wider area of application.
