de Alvear Cardenas, J.I. (author), de Visser, C.C. (author)From fault-tolerant control to failure detection, blade damage simulation is integral for developing and testing failure-resilient modern unmanned aerial vehicles. Existing approaches assume partial loss of rotor effectiveness or reduce the problem to centrifugal forces resulting from the shift in the propeller centre of gravity. In this study,...conference paper 2024

Dash, T.K. (author), Driessen, J.N. (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)The challenge of reconstructing the Doppler spectrum of a precipitation-like event observed by a fast-scanning weather radar is addressed. A novel method is proposed where the echo sequence in time is assumed to be a complex Gaussian process with a known covariance structure. It is a two-step approach where the first step is the estimation of...conference paper 2024

Ahrens, B.P. (author), Matthes, Ralph (author), van der Weide, N.J. (author), Wullaert, K.F. (author)We present a formalization of different categorical structures used to interpret linear logic. Our formalization takes place in UniMath, a library of univalent mathematics based on the Coq proof assistant. All the categorical structures we formalize are based on monoidal categories. As such, one of our contributions is a practical, usable...conference paper 2024

van der Weide, N.J. (author), Rasekh, Nima (author), Ahrens, B.P. (author), North, P.R. (author)Category theory is a branch of mathematics that provides a formal framework for understanding the relationship between mathematical structures. To this end, a category not only incorporates the data of the desired objects, but also "morphisms", which capture how different objects interact with each other. Category theory has found many...conference paper 2024
