Nonlinear controlNonlinear control theory is the area of control theory which deals with systems that are nonlinear, time-variant, or both. Control theory is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and mathematics that is concerned with the behavior of dynamical systems with inputs, and how to modify the output by changes in the input using feedback, feedforward, or signal filtering. The system to be controlled is called the "plant".
Analytic function of a matrixIn mathematics, every analytic function can be used for defining a matrix function that maps square matrices with complex entries to square matrices of the same size. This is used for defining the exponential of a matrix, which is involved in the closed-form solution of systems of linear differential equations. There are several techniques for lifting a real function to a square matrix function such that interesting properties are maintained. All of the following techniques yield the same matrix function, but the domains on which the function is defined may differ.
Système dynamiqueEn mathématiques, en chimie ou en physique, un système dynamique est la donnée d’un système et d’une loi décrivant l'évolution de ce système. Ce peut être l'évolution d'une réaction chimique au cours du temps, le mouvement des planètes dans le système solaire (régi par la loi universelle de la gravitation de Newton) ou encore l'évolution de la mémoire d'un ordinateur sous l'action d'un programme informatique. Formellement on distingue les systèmes dynamiques à temps discrets (comme un programme informatique) des systèmes dynamiques à temps continu (comme une réaction chimique).
Program analysisIn computer science, program analysis is the process of automatically analyzing the behavior of computer programs regarding a property such as correctness, robustness, safety and liveness. Program analysis focuses on two major areas: program optimization and program correctness. The first focuses on improving the program’s performance while reducing the resource usage while the latter focuses on ensuring that the program does what it is supposed to do.
AnalysisAnalysis (: analyses) is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts in order to gain a better understanding of it. The technique has been applied in the study of mathematics and logic since before Aristotle (384–322 B.C.), though analysis as a formal concept is a relatively recent development. The word comes from the Ancient Greek ἀνάλυσις (analysis, "a breaking-up" or "an untying;" from ana- "up, throughout" and lysis "a loosening"). From it also comes the word's plural, analyses.
Computational complexityIn computer science, the computational complexity or simply complexity of an algorithm is the amount of resources required to run it. Particular focus is given to computation time (generally measured by the number of needed elementary operations) and memory storage requirements. The complexity of a problem is the complexity of the best algorithms that allow solving the problem. The study of the complexity of explicitly given algorithms is called analysis of algorithms, while the study of the complexity of problems is called computational complexity theory.
Discrete time and continuous timeIn mathematical dynamics, discrete time and continuous time are two alternative frameworks within which variables that evolve over time are modeled. Discrete time views values of variables as occurring at distinct, separate "points in time", or equivalently as being unchanged throughout each non-zero region of time ("time period")—that is, time is viewed as a discrete variable. Thus a non-time variable jumps from one value to another as time moves from one time period to the next.
Generalized functionIn mathematics, generalized functions are objects extending the notion of functions. There is more than one recognized theory, for example the theory of distributions. Generalized functions are especially useful in making discontinuous functions more like smooth functions, and describing discrete physical phenomena such as point charges. They are applied extensively, especially in physics and engineering. A common feature of some of the approaches is that they build on operator aspects of everyday, numerical functions.
Analyse des donnéesL’analyse des données (aussi appelée analyse exploratoire des données ou AED) est une famille de méthodes statistiques dont les principales caractéristiques sont d'être multidimensionnelles et descriptives. Dans l'acception française, la terminologie « analyse des données » désigne donc un sous-ensemble de ce qui est appelé plus généralement la statistique multivariée. Certaines méthodes, pour la plupart géométriques, aident à faire ressortir les relations pouvant exister entre les différentes données et à en tirer une information statistique qui permet de décrire de façon plus succincte les principales informations contenues dans ces données.
Analyse (mathématiques)L'analyse (du grec , délier, examiner en détail, résoudre) a pour point de départ la formulation rigoureuse du calcul infinitésimal. C'est la branche des mathématiques qui traite explicitement de la notion de limite, que ce soit la limite d'une suite ou la limite d'une fonction. Elle inclut également des notions comme la continuité, la dérivation et l'intégration. Ces notions sont étudiées dans le contexte des nombres réels ou des nombres complexes.
