Applying Dynamics/Cost Parameter Continuation to the Optimal Guidance of Variable‐Speed Unicycle

open access: yesOptimal Control Applications and Methods, EarlyView.
(a) Classical parameter continuation method diverges. (b) Dynamics/cost parameter continuation method converges. ABSTRACT The problem of a variable‐speed unicycle guidance to the stationary target is considered. The vehicle should be guided to the origin while minimizing the energy loss due to the induced drag.

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

Global stability of an $SIR$ epidemic model with delay and general nonlinear incidence

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2010
An SIR model with distributed delay and a general incidence function isstudied. Conditions are given under which the system exhibits thresholdbehaviour: the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stableif R00=1; if R0>1,then the unique ...

Data assimilation with extremum Monte Carlo methods

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study presents the extremum Monte Carlo filter as a data assimilation method and, in particular, a variant of the variational approach (three‐ and four‐dimensional variational), where the state estimates are obtained by solving an optimization problem numerically over a space of prediction functions, instead of the state space itself.

Adaptive Sliding‐Mode Control of a Perturbed Diffusion Process With Pointwise In‐Domain Actuation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A sliding mode–based adaptive control law is proposed for a class of diffusion processes featuring a spatially‐varying uncertain diffusivity and equipped with several point‐wise actuators located at the two boundaries of the spatial domain as well as in its interior.

Vector Field‐Based Collision‐Free Navigation in Tunnel‐Like Environments

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tunnel‐like environments, renowned for their vast scale, confined spaces, and limited visibility, present significant challenges for autonomous robot navigation. This study addresses the critical issue of guiding robots through such environments while ensuring collision‐free navigation and maintaining a specified safety margin from both tunnel
