Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Ecotourism can contribute to the conservation of environmental values, as well as to the development of positive synergies between agents in the tourism sector, tourists and the local population. The growing interest in tourism offers with low environmental impact, which support the local economy, translates into a competitive advantage for ...

Evaluating anisotropy‐based Monin–Obukhov similarity theory over canopies and complex terrain
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study shows that an anisotropy‐based generalization of Monin–Obukhov surface‐layer scaling (SC23) applies readily across a wide range of atmospheric conditions with variable terrain, canopies, and land‐cover complexity. This work focuses on the scaling of velocity variances for 7 years at the 47 sites in the National Ecological Observation Network

Wage reactions to regional and national unemployment
Regional Science Policy &Practice, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract This paper analyses the entire wage effects of unemployment for an especially long observation period. In a three‐step approach, the wage reaction at the national level (wage‐setting curve or aggregate wage equation) is added to the reaction at the regional level (wage curve). Spatial models with instrumental variables are used.

Structured numerical problems in contemporary applications [PDF]
, 2013 textThe presence of structure in a computational problem can often be exploited and can lead to a more efficient numerical algorithm. In this dissertation, we look at structured numerical problems that arise from applications in wireless communications ...

New views of some invariants associated with the Cartesian 2D velocity gradient tensor
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Vorticity and divergence of horizontal flow are fundamental quantities in meteorology; both are linear functions of the four elements of the 2D velocity gradient tensor and both are formally unchanged under coordinate rotation. We explore four quadratic functions of the elements that are geometrically invariant in this sense, finding some novel ...

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The importance of frequency domain methods in analysis and design of sliding mode (SM) control systems is mostly associated with chattering, where the advantages of these methods over state‐space and Lyapunov's methods are quite obvious.

Control Design Based on Generalized Lur'e Lyapunov Functions for Sampled‐Data Lur'e Systems
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article addresses the synthesis of stabilizing control laws for aperiodic sampled‐data Lur'e systems. Based on a hybrid system representation of the closed‐loop system and a timer‐dependent generalized Lur'e–Postnikov type Lyapunov function, stabilization conditions are obtained by separating decision variables with the application of two

High‐Order Sliding‐Mode control for MIMO Systems
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper extends Lyapunov‐based homogeneous high‐order sliding‐mode control to a class of uncertain non‐square multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with a well‐defined vector relative degree. The considered systems admit a normal‐form representation with an uncertain but full‐row‐rank input‐gain matrix.

Feedback Linearisation with State Constraints
International 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.

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...
