Scheduling: Control-Based Theory and Polynomial-Time Algorithms by Konstantin Kogan
English | PDF | 2000 | 399 Pages | ISBN : 0792364864 | 23.6 MB
This book presents a first attempt to systematically collect, classify and solve various continuous-time scheduling problems. The classes of problems distinguish scheduling by the number of machines and products, production constraints and performance measures. Although such classes are usually considered to be a prerogative of only combinatorial scheduling literature, the scheduling methodology suggested in this book is based on two mathematical tools - optimal control and combinatorics.

Dynamic Studies Through Control of Relaxation in NMR Spectroscopy by Nicola Salvi
English | PDF | 2014 | 118 Pages | ISBN : 3319061690 | 6.5 MB
Nicola Salvi's thesis offers a remarkably cogent view of highly sophisticated NMR methods. Salvi developed these methods in order to characterize the amplitudes and frequency ranges of local motions in biomolecules such as proteins. These local motions play an essential role since they can explain many of the remarkable properties of proteins and enable them to carry out all sorts of vital functions, from enzymatic catalysis to intermolecular recognition and signalling in cells. Salvi's work has led to numerous publications in high-impact journals.

Discrete-Time Control System Design with Applications by C.A. Rabbath
English | PDF | 2014 | 181 Pages | ISBN : 1461492890 | 8 MB
This book presents practical techniques of discrete-time control system design. In general, the design techniques lead to low-order dynamic compensators that ensure satisfactory closed-loop performance for a wide range of sampling rates. The theory is given in the form of theorems, lemmas, and propositions. The design of the control systems is presented as step-by-step procedures and algorithms. The proposed feedback control schemes are applied to well-known dynamic system models.
