Narang, Anshu (2012-09-18)This dissertation addresses the control problem for the general class of control non-affine, non-standard singularly perturbed continuous-time systems. The problem of control for nonlinear multiple time scale systems is ...
-
Landivar, Micaela Amanda (2015-07-08)This thesis presents a neuron model and framework for the architecture and interaction of neurons in order to accomplish two tasks, 1) data matching, and 2) the storage and retrieval of information. The tasks are approached ...
-
Desai, Uri (2013-01-31)The problem of relative spacecraft motion estimation is considered with application to various reference and relative orbits. Mean circular and elliptic orbits are analyzed, with relative orbits ranging in size from 1 km ...
-
Woodbury, Timothy Daniel (2019-03-28)Differential games are a useful tool both for modeling conflict between autonomous systems and for synthesizing robust control solutions. The traditional study of games has assumed decision agents possess complete information ...
-
Saha, Dipanjan (2018-12-10)Nonlinear systems with dynamics evolving in distinct slow and fast time-scales are common in science and engineering. Geometric singular perturbation theory is a powerful tool for controller design for such systems over ...
-
Aures-Cavalieri, Kurt D (2014-12-04)Pursuit-evasion games reside at the intersection of game theory and optimal control theory. They are often referred to as differential games because the dynamics of the relative system are modeled by the pursuer and evader ...
-
Singh, Sandeep Kumar (2022-04-18)Optimal control methods for designing trajectories have been studied extensively by astro-dynamicists. Direct and indirect methods provide separate approaches to arrive at the optimal solution, each having their associated ...
-
Nonlinear Adaptive Dynamic Inversion Control for Variable Stability Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Harris, Joshua A. (2017-12-11)In-flight simulation and variable stability aircraft provide useful capabilities for flight controls development such as testing control laws for new aircraft earlier, identification of adverse conditions such as pilot-induced ...
-
Elgohary, Tarek A (2015-05-11)In this Dissertation, computational and analytic methods are presented to address nonlinear systems with applications in structural and celestial mechanics. Scalar Homotopy Methods (SHM) are first introduced for the solution ...
-
Akkam Veettil, Dilshad Raihan (2019-03-14)Nonlinear filtering is the problem of estimating the state of a stochastic nonlinear dynamical system using noisy observations. It is well known that the posterior state estimates in nonlinear problems may assume non-Gaussian ...
-
Roscoe, Christopher (2012-10-15)Several methods are presented for the design of satellite formations for science missions in high-eccentricity reference orbits with quantifiable performance criteria specified throughout only a portion the orbit, called ...
-
Hafer, William Thomas (2014-07-07)In this work, sensitivity methods are examined as a means to solve and analyze the problem of orbital pursuit-evasion (PE). Orbital PE is a two-sided spacecraft trajectory optimization problem characterized by high ...
