"La tesis se enfoca en el diseño de leyes de control adaptables para robots manipuladores que consideran la naturaleza acotada de los actuadores. Se proponen esquemas generalizados para regulaci on y seguimiento globales por retroalimentacion de estados,cuyas estructuras permiten obtener…

CMOS IC scaling has provided significant improvements in electronic circuit performance.
Advances in test methodologies to deal with new failure mechanisms and nanometer issues
are required. Interconnect opens are an important defect mechanism that requires detailed
knowledge of its physical…

We found the linear complexity of quaternary sequences of period over the ring Z_4 . The sequences are based on Whiteman's generalized cyclotomic classes of order four. Also we derived the maximum nontrivial autocorrelation magnitude of the constructed sequences.

In this paper we consider boundary value problems with singularity in equation or solution. To solve these problems, we apply single exponential and double exponential transformations of sinc-Galerkin and Chebyshev cardinal functions. Numerical examples highlight efficiency of Chebyshev cardinal functions…
