Control of Inverted Pendulum Based on Differential Evolution Abstract: Fuzzy control is an efficient method for the control of nonlinear‚ uncertain plants. Although satisfactory performance can be achieved with the fuzzy control method‚ its performance can still be improved‚ if some optimization algorithms are used to tune some of its parameters. In this paper‚ we testify the performance of the fuzzy logic for the inverted pendulum system and utilize the Differential Evolution algorithm to optimize the

Doctor Gary Hall Differential Equations March 2013 Differential Equations in Mechanical Engineering Often times college students question the courses they are required to take and the relevance they have to their intended career. As engineers and scientists we are taught‚ and even “wired” in a way‚ to question things through-out our lives. We question the way things work‚ such as the way the shocks in our car work to give us a smooth ride back and forth to school‚ or what really happens to an

Definition Have you ever asked yourself why certain individuals become criminals? Differential association theory is a theory in criminology which aims to answer this question. This theory was developed by Edwin H. Sutherland‚ who was a sociologist and a professor. He created the theory to explain the reasons why people commit crime. The theory is based upon the idea that criminals commit crimes based upon their association with other people. Basically‚ criminal behavior is learned by

certainty. Consider the extent to which complete certainty might be achievable in mathematics and the natural sciences.” To what extent can man use mathematics and the natural sciences to embrace the concept of achieving absolute certainty? It is not possible for humans to achieve absolute certainty in knowledge using mathematics and the natural sciences. This is because mathematics is a creation of man to organize and communicate highly complex concepts and theories to others through a kind of language

The Most Effective Absolute Rulers During the late 1400s and 1500s‚ many rulers took great measures to centralize political power and place it in their own hands. This lead to the occurrence of absolute monarchies‚ some of which I thought were overall very effective. In absolute monarchies‚ theoretically the monarch is all-powerful‚ with no legal limitations to his or her authority. Absolutism in Europe was characteristically justified by the doctrine of divine right‚ according to which the monarch

Absolute Monarchy: The Success and The Short Comings In Europe‚ Absolute monarchy was a form of government that eventually became very successful in some countries‚ but not as successful in others as a result of the political state the country was in when absolutism was introduced. Absolute monarchy was usually developed as a result of turmoil within a country over politics‚ religion‚ social structures‚ etc. Two European countries where absolute monarchy was attempted were France‚ where it eventually

Opportunity Costs‚ Absolute Advantage and Comparative Advantage Abstract This work defines and illustrates examples of opportunity cost. It also defines and compares comparative and absolute advantage. Then‚ the work extends the narrative to compare these terms in today’s society.

Sam’s offending can be explained through the application of the social theory‚ Differential Association. Differential Association is a social theory developed by Edwin Sutherland‚ a renowned sociologist. The function of the theory Sutherland developed attempts to explain how people learn behaviors and motivations of criminal activities from those they associate with‚ and justify these acts as regular behaviors‚ perceiving them as gratifying (James Cook University). This theory is applied to Sam’s
