Output Controllability of a Linear Dynamical System with Sparse Controls

In this article, we study the conditions to be satisfied by a discrete-time linear system to ensure output controllability using sparse control inputs. A set of necessary and sufficient conditions can be directly obtained by extending the Kalman rank test for output controllability. However, the verification of these conditions is...

Safety of timber: An analysis of quality control options

The quality assurance of timber properties is important for the safety of timber structures. In the current study, the quality control options of timber are analysed under the prism of the different growth regions. Therefore, these options - machine and output control - are simulated in accordance with EN 14081, and the performance is assessed...
