- Mon, 08 Apr 2024 17:07:33 +0000: Novel robust-optimal controllers based on fuzzy descriptor system - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
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 potential for enhanced autonomous systems. - Tue, 02 Apr 2024 18:03:12 +0000: The math problem that took nearly a century to solve: Secret to Ramsey numbers - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
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. - Wed, 20 Mar 2024 16:24:14 +0000: Powerful new AI can predict people's attitudes to vaccines - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
A powerful new tool in artificial intelligence is able to predict whether someone is willing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. - Wed, 13 Mar 2024 17:55:07 +0000: Researchers develop a new control method that optimizes autonomous ship navigation - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
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 at sea. - Wed, 13 Mar 2024 17:54:42 +0000: Satellites for quantum communications - Mathematics News -- ScienceDaily
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 mission will deploy satellites.
