The paper is concerned with the simulation of two-dimensional weakly correlated fields and their use in vehicle dynamics. Necessary definitions and a limit theorem of the theory of weakly correlated fields are given. The derived simulation method and its integration by linear functionals permits...

Nonlinear control has attracted, in the last decade, the interest of many researchers and many theoretical results have been obtained. In the same time, in many fields of application, it has been recognized that a linear approach on linearized models, as used for long, is no more satisfactory....

A numerical method is presented that models a premixed, laminar flame in a single or several space dimensions. The method models the reaction zone of the flame as an interface followed by a preheat zone. The downstream edge of the preheat zone characterizes an entry in a flame dictionary. The...

Identification and control problems associated with lumped and distributed systems are studied. The problems are set in terms of minimization of a cost function and two methods for the calculation of the gradient and of the Hessian of the cost function are considered: the first method is based...
