In the present contribution we study a viscous Cahn-Hilliard system where a further leading term in the expression for the chemical potential $ \mu$ is present. This term consists of a subdifferential operator $S$ in $L^2(\Omega)$ (where…
Liquid droplets sliding along solid surfaces are a frequently observed phenomenon in nature, e.g., raindrops on a leaf, and in everyday situations, e.g., drops of water in a drinking glass. To model this situation, we use a phase field…
We analyze the effect of temperature on the yielding transition of amorphous solids using different coarse-grained model approaches. On one hand we use an elasto-plastic model, with temperature introduced in the form of an Arrhenius…
This paper presents a novel adaptive fast smooth second-order sliding mode control for the attitude tracking of the three degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) helicopter system with lumped disturbances. Combining with a non-singular integral sliding…
Challenges in the discrete implementation of sliding-mode controllers (SMC) with barrier-function-based adaptations are analyzed, revealing fundamental limitations in conventional design frameworks. It is shown that under uniform sampling,…
This article considers the stochastic optimal control of discrete-time linear systems subject to (possibly) unbounded stochastic disturbances, hard constraints on the manipulated variables, and joint chance constraints on the states. A…
This paper presents a simple, efficient, and high-order accurate sliding-mesh interface approach to the spectral difference (SD) method. We demonstrate the approach by solving the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations on…
The driven transport of plastic systems in various disordered backgrounds is studied within mean field theory. Plasticity is modeled using non-convex interparticle potentials that allow for phase slips. This theory most naturally describes…
We study the convergence to equilibrium of an underdamped Langevin equation that is controlled by a linear feedback force. Specifically, we are interested in sampling the possibly multimodal invariant probability distribution of a Langevin…
Conventional Sliding mode control and observation techniques are widely used in aerospace applications, including aircrafts, UAVs, launch vehicles, missile interceptors, and hypersonic missiles. This work is dedicated to creating a…
Motivated by the concept of Quasi-Sliding Mode (QSM) in discrete-time systems, this paper presents a novel approach that relaxes the requirement of ubiquitous exact sliding motion in continuous-time systems, aiming to achieve an…
The problem we focus on in this paper is to find a nearly optimal sliding mode controller of continuous-time nonlinear multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems that can both reduce chattering and minimize the cost function, which is a…
The study of tree sap exudation, in which a (leafless) tree generates elevated stem pressure in response to repeated daily freeze-thaw cycles, gives rise to an interesting multi-scale problem involving heat and multiphase liquid/gas…
Controlled Lagrangian and matching techniques are developed for the stabilization of relative equilibria and equilibria of discrete mechanical systems with symmetry as well as broken symmetry. Interesting new phenomena arise in the…
In this paper, we present a new discrete-time Fast Terminal Sliding Mode (FTSM) controller for mirror-based pointing systems. We first derive the decoupled model of those systems and then estimate the parameters using a nonlinear…
It is known that the gradient method can be viewed as a dynamic system where various iterative schemes can be designed as a part of the closed loop system with desirable properties. In this paper, the finite-time and fixed-time convergence…
The technique of periodic homogenization with two-scale convergence is applied to the analysis of a two-phase Stefan-type problem that arises in the study of a periodic array of melting ice bars. For this "reduced model" we prove results on…
The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of…
The use of Mean-Field theory to unwrap principal phase patterns has been recently proposed. In this paper we generalize the Mean-Field approach to process phase patterns with arbitrary degree of undersampling. The phase unwrapping problem…
This paper presents a constraint-enforcing control framework for a class of discrete-time strict-feedback nonlinear systems. The objective is to guarantee closed-loop stability while ensuring forward invariance of a prescribed safe set…
