Nonlinear laser lithography for indefinitely large-area nanostructuring with femtosecond pulses Oktem, Bulent; Pavlov, Ihor; Ilday, Serim; Kalaycioglu, Hamit; Rybak, Andrey; Yavas, Seydi; Erdogan, Mutlu; İLDAY, Fatih Ömer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2013-11-01) Dynamical systems based on the interplay of nonlinear feedback mechanisms are ubiquitous in nature(1-5) . Well-understood examples from photonics include mode locking(6) and a broad class of fractal optics(7), including self-similarity(8). In addition to the fundamental interest in such systems, fascinating technical functionalities that are difficult or even impossible to achieve with linear systems can emerge naturally from them(7) if the right control tools can be applied. Here, we demonstrate a method t...
Nonlinear estimation techniques applied to econometric problems Aslan, Serdar; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) This thesis considers the filtering and prediction problems of nonlinear noisy econometric systems. As a filter/predictor, the standard tool Extended Kalman Filter and new approaches Discrete Quantization Filter and Sequential Importance Resampling Filter are used. The algorithms are compared by using Monte Carlo Simulation technique. The advantages of the new algorithms over Extended Kalman Filter are shown.
Quantum systems and representation theorem Dosi, Anar (2013-09-01) In this paper we investigate quantum systems which are locally convex versions of abstract operator systems. Our approach is based on the duality theory for unital quantum cones. We prove the unital bipolar theorem and provide a representation theorem for a quantum system being represented as a quantum -system.
Structure preserving reduced order modeling for gradient systems Akman Yildiz, Tugba; UZUNCA, MURAT; Karasözen, Bülent (2019-04-15) Minimization of energy in gradient systems leads to formation of oscillatory and Turing patterns in reaction-diffusion systems. These patterns should be accurately computed using fine space and time meshes over long time horizons to reach the spatially inhomogeneous steady state. In this paper, a reduced order model (ROM) is developed which preserves the gradient dissipative structure. The coupled system of reaction-diffusion equations are discretized in space by the symmetric interior penalty discontinuous...
Hierarchical control with partial observations: Sufficient conditions Boutin, Olivier; Komenda, Jan; Masopust, Tomas; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Van Schuppen, Jan H. (2011-12-01) In this paper, hierarchical control of both monolithic and modular discrete-event systems under partial observations is studied. Two new conditions, called observation consistency and local observation consistency, are proposed. These conditions are sufficient for the preservation of observability between the original and the abstracted plant. Moreover, it is shown that both conditions are compositional, that is, they are preserved by the synchronous product. This property makes it possible to use hierarchi...
