In this thesis, we consider “exact” and “approximate” versions of the disturbance decoupling problem and the noninteracting control problem for linear, time-invariant systems. In the exact versions of these problems, we ...

Motivated by the need for qualitative investigation of general system properties such as controllability, obser\^bility, existence of fixed modes, etc. as the complement of the quantitative approach in analysis, ...

The following problem is considered: Given a multivariable system with m inputs and r outputs and an m x r matrix whose nonnegative (i,j)’th element represents the cost of setting up a feedback link from the j ’th output ...

This study, which consists of four sections, investigates v^ihether the order of English prepositions and the way they are introduced at elementary level (zero/false/ comp lete/advanced beginners) textbooks are in line ...

Object-oriented paradigm is an approach that can be applied in various areas of computing. In this approach, each entity is represented by an object which captures the state and the behaviour of the entity. In this thesis, ...

A computer network has a collection of resources shared by multiple users. The capacity of the resources is limited, and if the user demands exceed the capacity, the network becomes ’congested’. The congestion causes a ...
