Adaptive Backstepping Consensus Control for Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems: Command Filtered Backstepping offers a new design solution for students, researchers, and engineers working on distributed cooperative control problems for nonlinear multi-agent systems. The book is structured around six key topics, focusing on command filtered backstepping-based distributed adaptive consensus control. By combining command filtered backstepping techniques with adaptive control, fuzzy logic systems, ...

Starting from the quantum properties intrinsic to collective human practice, this book rebuilds public economics on a unified quantum foundation. It reconstructs core topics of public economics, explains why mechanistic public economics fails and how public agents actually choose and govern. Designed for students, researchers and practitioners in relevant fields, it serves as both a course text and a gateway to the quantum paradigm for general readers.

This book is devoted to fuzzy quantitative studies in managerial science, discussing the philosophical background and decision-making essentials. For reference, a series of practical examples illustrate broad areas of application that are important in project risk management problems, and in complicated mega projects. Using computers to simulate human intelligence with fuzzy approaches is the basis of “Fuzzy-AI model,” which offers an efficient tool capable of simulating human intelligence...

Judy I. Lin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Magic Steeped in Poison, weaves a dreamy gothic romance worthy of the heavens in Song of the Six Realms.Xue, a talented young musician, has no past and probably no future. Orphaned at a young age, her kindly poet uncle took her in and arranged for an apprenticeship at one of the most esteemed entertainment houses in the kingdom. She doesn’t remember much from before entering the House...

This book starts with the introduction of the radar working system from a mathematical point of view. It shows the composition of transmitted signal and echo signal, and describes the principle of speed measurement and distance measurement for different radar systems. The book focuses on millimeter-wave radar technologies related to echo signal denoising, target identification, clustering, and target tracking and develops a workable plan for the information fusion idea between millimeter-w...
