This paper deals with model predictive control of uncertain linear discrete-time systems with polytopic constraints on the input and chance constraints on the states. When having polytopic constraints and bounded disturbances, the robust problem with an op ...
We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the solution to equations of the p-Laplacian type in cylindrical domains becoming unbounded and address some issues regarding the solution in unbounded domains. ...
We present an entirely microscopic calculation of the Casimir force f(d) between two metallic plates in the limit of large separation d. The models of metals consist of mobile quantum charges in thermal equilibrium with the photon field at positive tempera ...
Weinvestigatethebehaviorandsensitivityofthefrozenmodephenomenon in finite structures with anisotropic materials, including both magnetic materials and non-normal incidence. The studies are done by using a high-order accurate discontin- uous Galerkin method ...
We model the resonant excitation transfer between semiconductor quantum dots, accounting for the radiative nature of the electromagnetic field. The model based on Maxwell equations and on a non-local, and for linear susceptibility accounts both for the ins ...
The flow in the draft tube cone of Francis turbines operated at partial discharge is a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon where an incoming steady axisymmetric swirling flow evolves into a three-dimensional unsteady flow field with precessing helical vortex ( ...

The theories used up to now to model theoretically and numerically nanostructures, and more specifically semiconductor heterostructures, do not allow to include efficiently at the envelope function level, in a k · p approach, the effects imposed by a possi ...
Thin films are very promising for the design of novel and efficient Fault Current Limiter (FCL) made of high-temperature superconductors (HTS). However, their thermal and highly non-linear electromagnetic behavior in the presence of over-critical currents ...
This study discusses the capability of the constitutive laws for the matrix logarithm of the conformation tensor (LCT model) within the framework of the spectral elements method. The high Weissenberg number problems (HWNP) usually produce a lack of converg ...
Hot tearing, one of the most severe defects observed in castings, is due to both tensile stresses and lack of interdendritic liquid feeding in the mushy zone. In order to predict this phenomenon, the two-phase averaged conservation equations for mass and m ...
