Whenever the knowledge of the array steering vector is imprecise (as is often the case in practice), the performance of the Capon beamformer may become worse than that of the standard beamformer. Diagonal loading (including its extended versions) has been a popular approach to improve the robustness of the Capon beamformer. In this paper we show that a natural extension of the Capon beamformer to the case of uncertain steering vectors also belongs to the class of diagonal loading approaches but the amount of diagonal loading can be precisely calculated based on the uncertainty set of the steering vector. The proposed robust Capon beamformer can be efficiently computed at a comparable cost with that of the standard Capon beamformer. Its excellent performance is demonstrated via a number of numerical examples.

The maximum likelihood detector (MLD) for single differential modulation is easy to derive. On the other hand, the MLD problem associated with double differential modulation is much more complicated and solving it was deemed to require a computationally unattractive nonlinear search. Consequently a simple heuristical detector was usually preferred to the MLD, on computational grounds. In this paper we prove the somewhat unexpected result that the aforementioned heuristical detector coincides with the exact MLD.

Using dimensional analysis and numerical optimisation techniques, an optimal method for tuning PID controllers for first order plus time delay systems is presented. Considering integral square error (ISE), integral absolute error (IAE) and integral time absolute error (ITAE) performance criteria, optimal equations for obtaining PID parameters are proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed method has a considerable superiority over conventional techniques. In addition, the closed loop system shows a robust performance in the face of model parameters uncertainty.

Forcefree control can realize the flexible motion of industrial articulated robot arms without any change of the built-in controller. In this paper, the forcefree control was extended to realize flexible motion emulating operational circumstance free of inertia, friction and gravity through the independent compensation of inertia, friction and gravity. The property of the forcefree control with independent compensation was also investigated by experimental study of an actual industrial articulated robot arm, where the external force was measured with a force sensor which was attached to the tip of the robot arm.

Availability of large full-text document collections in electronic form has created a need for tools and techniques that assist users in organizing these collections. Document clustering is one of the popular methods used for this purpose. In this paper, we propose the neural network based document clustering method by using a hierarchically organized network built up from independent Self-Organizing Map (SOM) and Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) neural networks. We present clustering results using the REUTERS corpus and show an improvement in clustering performance using both entropy and F-measure as evaluation measures.

This paper addresses the problem of robust filtering for uncertain linear signal models affected by time delays in the state. Uncertainty is structured and the model is assumed to lie in a given bounded polyhedral set. The main innovation is the use of a nonrational filter, that is, a filter that also contains delays in the filter state. Robust filtering performance is evaluated using the H/sub 2/ or the H/sub /spl infin// norm. The performance conditions are delay independent, and provide convex filtering design problems, which are convex optimization problems with linear matrix inequalities constraints.

New developments in computer networks and communications provide new possibilities for control purposes. controlsystems for highly complex plants are themselves very complex and heterogeneous. A new software infrastructure is needed that exploits these new emerging software technologies. An essential activity to be pursued is that of education and of including new technology in control education. The aim of this paper is to describe some of our activities and experiences in teaching of information techniques and technologies included in open control platforms of complex controlsystems.
