A local observability matrix for a linear time-varying system is introduced. The matrix is useful for observability analysis; it is much easier to use than the usual observability grammian for linear time-varying systems. The matrix is applied to a terrain-aided inertial navigation system to reveal the observability of the system in terms of the nature of the terrain. Results of a simulated covariance analysis are presented and discussed.< >

It has recently been shown that a first order compensator robustly stabilizes an interval plant family if and only if it stabilizes all of the extreme plants. That is, if the plant is described by m-th order numerator and monic n-th order denominator with coefficients lying in prescribed intervals, it is necessary and sufficient to stabilize the set of 2 m+n+l extreme plants. These extreme plants are obtained by considering all possible combinations for the extreme values of the numerator and denominator coefficients. In this paper, we prove a stronger result. Namely, it is necessary and sufficient to stabilize only sixteen of the extreme plants. These sixteen plants are generated using the Kharitonov polynomials associated with the numerator and denominator. Furthermore, when additional apriori information about the compensator is specified (sign of the gain and signs and relative magnitudes of the pole and zero), then in some cases, it is necessary and sufficient to stabilize eight critical plants while in other cases, it is necessary and sufficient to stabilize twelve critical plants.

The interpreting and analysis of real time sampled signals is important for improvement of quality of products. This article developed an expert system shell ASESS for interpreting and analyzing the real time signals based on the analysis-synthesis (A-S) inference technology which frequently used by human expert in considering complex problems. The A-S technology is introduced. In order to meet the need of speed of real time control, in ASESS two measures are taken: 1. Knowledge classification and meta-rules are applied. 2. The system is developed with the combination of three languages: Assembler, Fortran and Prolog. Considering the vagueness in inference of human experts, the fuzzy inference technology are applied. The knowledge base of ASESS can be separated from inference engine and can be edited easily, so the system ASESS can be used effectively in different cases by adding appropriate knowledge in that field.

The authors present a magnetic heading system consisting of two fluxgate magnetometers and a single-chip microcomputer. The system, when compared to gyro compasses, is smaller in size, lighter in weight, simpler in construction, quicker in reaction time, free from drift, and more reliable. Using a microcomputer in the system, heading error due to compass deviation, sensor offsets. scale factor uncertainty, and sensor tilts can be compensated with the help of an error model. The laboratory test of a typical system showed that the accuracy of the system was improved from more than 8 degrees error without error compensation to less than 0.3 degrees error with compensation.< >

In this paper we attempt to propose a method for preference degree analysis in multiobjective decisionmaking problems(MDMPs), called the multiple factor analysis method based on a hierarchical analysis model. The concept of preference degree(PD) is first discussed. Here a PD is used as a measurement for describing preference information of decision makers (DMs) to some value of an objective. A hierarchical model for analyzing the preference information is then deduced by defining objective domain of discourse (ODD), fuzzy degree domain of discourse (FDDD), factor domain of discourse (FDD) and sensitivity vector. Furthermore, some methods are explored for analyzing DMs* PDs of objective values according to a single factor and multiple factors, respectively. At last, an example is briefly introduced.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the bivariate characteristic polynomial of a matrix to be a very strict Hurwitz polynomial (VSHP) are presented. These conditions are based on solving the Lyapunov equation for 2-D continuous systems using the Kronecker product and lead a simple test for the VSHP property. It requires testing only the eigenvalues of three stable matrices, which is simpler than the existing polynomial tests.< >

Robust Schur stability conditions are obtained for polynomials of orders two to five. For n=2 and 3, the conditions obtained are related to stability of the corner points, while for n=4 and 5, the conditions are related to stability of corner and possible supplementary points. The number of points increases substantially as the polynomial order increases. The obtained results are of importance in the robust design of control systems. The difficulty in extending the approach to higher-order polynomials is discussed. Special cases for such extensions are mentioned. Further applications of the results obtained may be of use in the stability study of two-dimensional systems. Some examples for the application of the stability conditions are given and, in particular, the two counterexamples presented in the literature are discussed.

A general formula for the slope and mathematical models of digitized straight-line segments are derived and discussed in detail. The models are parametric and the parameters are calculated uniquely and in closed form from the slope without the need for recursion or interaction. The modeling is information-preserving and explicitly uses the slope. The models are in a form convenient for plotting, detecting, and recognizing digitized straight-line segments.< >
