Uniform taxation and consumer preferences

Journal of Public Economics, 1995
Abstract Diamond and Mirrlees ( American Economic Review , 1971, 61, 8–27 and 261–278) showed that the first-order conditions for the Ramsey tax problem do not necessarily characterize tax optima. Researchers have since become cautious in using the first-order conditions. This paper establishes the validity of a version of the first-order conditions,

Current Tracking Adaptive Control of Brushless DC Motors

International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
In this paper, the current tracking for Brushless Direct Current motors is approached considering uncertainty in the parameters of the motor's model. An adaptive control scheme to compensate electrical parameters uncertainty is proposed without requiring any knowledge of the mechanical parameters.
