FIBONACCI SUPERLATTICES OF NARROW-GAP III-V SEMICONDUCTORS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
We report theoretical electronic structure of Fibonacci superlattices of narrow-gap III-V semiconductors. Electron dynamics is accurately described within the envelope-function approximation in a two-band model.

Zonal Jets as Transport Barriers in Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The connection between transport barriers and potential vorticity (PV) barriers in PV-conserving flows is investigated with a focus on zonal jets in planetary atmospheres. A perturbed PV-staircase model is used to illustrate important concepts. This flow

Asymmetric integral barrier function-based tracking control of constrained robots

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics
In this paper, a new-type time-varying asymmetric integral barrier function is designed to handle the state constraint of nonlinear systems. The barrier Lyapunov function is developed by building an integral upper limit function with respect to ...

Safety Control Synthesis with Input Limits: a Hybrid Approach

open access: yes, 2019
We introduce a hybrid (discrete--continuous) safety controller which enforces strict state and input constraints on a system---but only acts when necessary, preserving transparent operation of the original system within some safe region of the state ...

Adaptive Robust Quadratic Programs using Control Lyapunov and Barrier Functions [PDF]

open access: yes2020 59th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2020
This paper presents adaptive robust quadratic program (QP) based control using control Lyapunov and barrier functions for nonlinear systems subject to time-varying and state-dependent uncertainties. An adaptive estimation law is proposed to estimate the pointwise value of the uncertainties with pre-computable estimation error bounds.

1D quantum models with correlated disorder vs. classical oscillators with coloured noise

open access: yes, 2001
We perform an analytical study of the correspondence between a classical oscillator with frequency perturbed by a coloured noise and the one-dimensional Anderson-type model with correlated diagonal disorder.
