  • A Missing Link in Cybernetics

    Logic and Continuity

    by Alex M. Andrew ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In this book I argue that a reason for the limited success of various studies under the general heading of cybernetics is failure to appreciate the importance of con- nuity, in a simple metrical sense of the term. It is with particular, but certainly not exclusive, reference to the Arti cial Intelligence (AI) effort that the shortcomings of established approaches are most easily seen. One reason ... Read more

  • Generalized Measure Theory

    by Zhenyuan Wang, George J. Klir ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    In 1992 we published a book entitled Fuzzy Measure Theory (Plenum Press, New York), in which the term ‘‘fuzzy measure’’ was used for set functions obtained by replacing the additivity requirement of classical measures with weaker requirements of monotonicity with respect to set inclusion and con- nuity. That is, the book dealt with nonnegative set functions that were mo- tone, vanished at the ... Read more

  • Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks

    A Semi-tensor Product Approach

    by Daizhan Cheng, Hongsheng Qi, Zhiqiang Li ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Analysis and Control of Boolean Networks presents a systematic new approach to the investigation of Boolean control networks. The fundamental tool in this approach is a novel matrix product called the semi-tensor product (STP). Using the STP, a logical function can be expressed as a conventional discrete-time linear system. In the light of this linear expression, certain major issues concerning ... Read more

  • Turing's Legacy

    Developments from Turing's Ideas in Logic

    Edited by Rod Downey ...
    Series Book 42 - Lecture Notes in Logic
    Alan Turing was an inspirational figure who is now recognised as a genius of modern mathematics. In addition to leading the Allied forces' code-breaking effort at Bletchley Park in World War II, he proposed the theoretical foundations of modern computing and anticipated developments in areas from information theory to computer chess. His ideas have been extraordinarily influential in modern ... Read more

  • Handbook on Ontologies

    Edited by Steffen Staab, Rudi Studer ...
    Series series Computer Science (R0)
    An ontology is a formal description of concepts and relationships that can exist for a community of human and/or machine agents. The notion of ontologies is crucial for the purpose of enabling knowledge sharing and reuse. The Handbook on Ontologies provides a comprehensive overview of the current status and future prospectives of the field of ontologies considering ontology languages, ontology ... Read more

  • Model-Free Stabilization by Extremum Seeking

    by Alexander Scheinker, Miroslav Krstić ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    With this brief, the authors present algorithms for model-free stabilization of unstable dynamic systems. An extremum-seeking algorithm assigns the role of a cost function to the dynamic system’s control Lyapunov function (clf) aiming at its minimization. The minimization of the clf drives the clf to zero and achieves asymptotic stabilization. This approach does not rely on, or require knowledge ... Read more
