PSW at MBI: Day 1

July 19, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

Got off the plane (ok technically it’s the night of Day 0) and had my first taste of Ohio. I’ve included a couple shots of the display that met me in the lobby. Day 1 starts with an 8:15am bus ride in a bus labelled Nth degree transportation which was mildly amusing. The first thing to … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 1

PSW at MBI: Day 0

July 15, 2012July 15, 2012 by seanmathmodelguy

What I’m going to do for this week is to give a running dialog of what it is like to travel around to a mathematical workshop and do research level mathematics with colleagues from around the world. For this first foray under the hood of these activities (at least described here) the first day is … Read morePSW at MBI: Day 0

Novel robust-optimal controllers based on fuzzy descriptor system April 8, 2024

The Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy descriptor system offers a promising avenue for controlling non-linear systems but lacks optimal control strategies. Moreover, while robust control methods have been developed, they add additional complexity. To address these limitations, a team of researchers has developed novel optimal and robust-optimal controllers based on the T--S fuzzy descriptor model, holding great […]

The math problem that took nearly a century to solve: Secret to Ramsey numbers April 2, 2024

Little progress had been made in solving Ramsey problems since the 1930s. Now, researchers have found the answer to r(4,t), a longstanding Ramsey problem that has perplexed the math world for decades.

Powerful new AI can predict people's attitudes to vaccines March 20, 2024

A powerful new tool in artificial intelligence is able to predict whether someone is willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Researchers develop a new control method that optimizes autonomous ship navigation March 13, 2024

Existing ship control systems using Model Predictive Control for Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS) do not consider the various forces acting on ships in real sea conditions. Addressing this gap, researchers developed a novel time-optimal control method, that accounts for the real wave loads acting on a ship, enabling effective planning and control of MASS […]

Satellites for quantum communications March 13, 2024

Through steady advances in the development of quantum computers and their ever-improving performance, it will be possible in the future to crack our current encryption processes. To address this challenge, researchers are developing encryption methods that will apply physical laws to prevent the interception of messages. To safeguard communications over long distances, the QUICK space […]
