Analysis and Control of Ball Displacement in Air Levitation Experiment by Using a Disturbance Rejection-Based Technique by Alessandro R. L. Zachi, Josiel A. Gouvea, Carlos A. M. Correia, Milena F. Pinto, Mariane R. Petraglia, Diego B. Haddad, Fabio A. A. Andrade

“…By adopting and using such a control methodology, the resulting closed-loop scheme exhibits several advantageous characteristics: (i) it is robust to parametric uncertainties; (ii) it can compensate for external disturbances and unmodeled dynamics; (iii) it can deal with plants with slowly time-varying control coefficient; (iv) even for nonlinear plants, mathematical analysis using Laplace transform can always be performed. This work also presents and discusses simulation and experimental results obtained with the proposed control strategy applied to a real air levitation prototype.…”

The Model of Socio-Economic Stratification of Society Based on An Agent Approach, Taking Into Account Rank Exchange by V. A. Kapitanov, O. S. Osipova, A. U. Maksimova

“…The limitations of the created mathematical model are shown:– the impossibility of creating an adequate Lorentz curve with insufficient computing power;– inability to describe changes in cross-country inequality, since countries are not subjects of rank exchange, although interstate agreements certainly have an impact on the exchange between economic subjects of social interaction;– inability to describe situations of absolute poverty, i.e. long-term decline in income, although in the real economy such situations are sometimes observed;– the endless growth of inequality over time, whereas in reality economic processes of inequality growth are always opposed by social processes of counteraction to this growth.Conclusion. …”
