HDR defence of Denis Efimov

The HDR defence of Denis Efimov will take place 28/11/2012 at Salle de conseils, Inria (bat. A), 10h00 :

Analyse, estimation et contrôle des phénomènes oscillatoires non linéaires

The subject of the dissertation deals with the main research direction of the author: analysis, estimation and control in nonlinear oscillating systems. It is an emerging area of research touching many applicative domains. This field strives for new estimation and control algorithms since frequently, due to peculiarities of this type of systems, the conventional approaches do not provide solutions with a satisfactory performance. Some control and estimation solutions for oscillating systems proposed by the author are given in the thesis. The hybrid or/and supervisory systems method is selected as the basement of design of new tools for analysis, observation and control of nonlinear oscillations.
