Enhanced Control Strategies for Residual‐Vibration Suppression and Adaptive Tracking in Flexible Manipulator Under Unknown Bounded Disturbances

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a hybrid control strategy for flexible‐link manipulators that combines offline trajectory planning with adaptive tracking to suppress residual elastic vibration (REV) under unknown bounded disturbances. A rigid–flexible coupling dynamics model is first established using the floating‐frame method and Lagrange's equations ...

Lagrange Multipliers in Locally Convex Spaces

open access: yesJournal of Optimization Theory and Applications
We give a general Lagrange multiplier rule for mathematical programming problems in a Hausdorff locally convex space. We consider infinitely many inequality and equality constraints. Our results gives in particular a generalisation of the result of J.

Household Leverage and Fiscal Multipliers [PDF]

open access: yes
We study the size of fiscal multipliers in response to a government spending shock under different household leverage conditions in a general equilibrium setting with search and matching frictions.

Optimal Designs and Inspection Time Decisions for Gamma Accelerated Degradation Tests

open access: yesNaval Research Logistics (NRL), EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analytically derives optimal designs for gamma accelerated degradation tests while incorporating inspection time as a design variable under both D‐ and V‐optimality criteria. Under D‐optimality, we prove that the optimal design allocates test units exclusively to the lowest and highest stress levels and adopts the longest inspection

An Adaptive Multiple Shooting Strategy for Optimal Control

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
We study how multiple shooting affects the convergence of Newton‐type methods for optimal control, comparing several shooting strategies across 40 benchmark problems. The study covers interior‐point and sequential quadratic programming methods with both Quasi‐Newton approximations and exact Hessians.

Feedback Linearisation with State Constraints

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Feedback Linearisation (FBL) is a widely used technique that applies feedback laws to transform input‐affine nonlinear control systems into linear control systems, allowing for the use of linear controller design methods such as pole placement.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Lagrange Multipliers Revisited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The present paper was inspired by the work of Kuhn and Tucker [1]. These authors transformed a certain class of constrained maximum problems into equivalent saddle value (minimax) problems. Their work seems to hinge on the consideration of still a third type of problem.

Illegal Gold Mining in the Brazilian Amazon: Environmental Degradation in Yanomami Indigenous Lands, and Regulatory Failures

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

Does Carbon Intensity Affect the Cost of Equity? An Empirical Study From Mexico

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses significant risks for companies, particularly in emerging countries like Mexico, where sustainability perceptions are evolving. This study analyzes how carbon emissions affect the cost of equity capital (CoE) for Mexican firms.
