Algebraic multigrid (AMG) methods have emerged as a crucial tool for efficiently solving large, sparse linear systems, particularly those arising in complex scientific and engineering simulations.

On most occasions, if engineers just pick up the phone and discuss their application with a linear systems supplier, potential issues can usually be resolved and a suitable solution found. By talking ...

Linear motors and ball-screw drives seem to hog the limelight when it comes to linear motion. Rack-and-pinion drives, another type of linear motion device, get no respect. But they are perfectly ...

When in doubt, make it stout. That was the rule of thumb for designing strong and durable machine tools in the past. Over the years, however, this mindset has changed as technical advances have ...

Abstract: In this letter, we consider the problem of designing prefix-based optimal controllers for switched linear systems over finite horizons. This problem arises in fault-tolerant control, when ...

Abstract: This paper proposes an adaptive finite-time sliding optimal tracking control (AFSOTC) for uncertain linear systems by combining finite-time optimal tracking with integral sliding mode ...
