Abstract When a feedback system is devised to control a mechanical member that is structurally limber, unstable (“self-excited”) vibrations may be encountered at approximately a natural frequency of the structural member. Cures are generally easy to effect once the phenomena are understood. Two interesting cases are described: ground vibrations of an airplane control system due to a limber fuselage, and vibrations of a stable platform system due to limberness in the platform structure. The investigations are carried out using the root-locus technique, which provides a plot of system characteristics as explicit functions of control strength. In the case of the stable platform, the analysis is found to be more reliable than physical intuition.

Conceptualization and empirical investigation of marketing management control systems have not developed to the point where terms, concepts, and methods are clear enough to provide reliable guidelines for managers of sales forces. Three national firms’ salesmen's perceptions of their control system were related to the salesmen's performance to identify the most important control system characteristics.

In the paper, a characteristic polynomial of an interval control system, whose coefficients are unknown or may vary within certain ranges of values, is considered. Parametric variations cause migration of interval characteristic polynomial roots within their allocation areas, whose borders determine robust stability degree of the interval control system. To estimate a robust stability degree, a projection of a polytope of interval characteristic polynomial coefficients on a complex plane must be examined. However, in order to find a robust stability degree it is enough to examine some vertices of a coefficient polytope and not the whole polytope. To find these vertices, which fully determine a robust stability degree, it is proposed to use a basic phase equation of a root locus method. Considering the requirements to placing allocation areas of system poles an interval extension of expressions for angles included to the phase equation. The set of statements, allowing to find a sum of pole angles intervals in the case of degree of oscillating robust stability, were formulated and proved. From these statements, a set of double interval angular inequalities was derived. The inequalities determine ranges of angles of all root locus edge branches departure from every pole. Considered research resulted in a procedure of finding coordinates of verifying vertices of a coefficients polytope and vertex polynomials according to these vertices. Such polynomials were found for oscillating robust stability degree analysis of interval control systems of the second, the third and the forth order. Also, similar statements were derived for aperiodical robust stability degree analysis. Numerical examples of vertex analysis of oscillating and aperiodical robust stability degree were provided for interval control systems of the second, the third and the fourth order. Obtained results were proved by examining root allocation areas of interval characteristic polynomials examined in application examples of proposed methods.

This research is a causality study with the title "Effect of Government Internal Control Systems and Employee Competence on the Performance of Government Agencies in Karimun Regency." The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the implementation of the Government's Internal Control System on the performance of Karimun Regency government agencies and to determine the effect of employee competence on the performance of Karimun Regency government agencies. Data collection using a questionnaire where the questionnaire contained questions about the Government's Internal Control System, employee competencies and agency performance. Data were tested using multiple linear regression statistical tests. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the governmental internal control system has a significant positive effect on Government Agency Performance with the results of statistical tests that show a sig value of 0.016 <0.05 (alpha 5%). Employee Competency has a significant positive effect on Government Performance with the results of statistical tests showing a sig value of 0,000.

The paper proposes a novel learning-based coordination strategy for lateral control systems of automated vehicles. The motivation of the research is to improve the performance level of the coordinated system compared to the conventional model-based reconfigurable solutions. During vehicle maneuvers, the coordinated control system provides torque vectoring and front-wheel steering angle in order to guarantee the various lateral dynamical performances. The performance specifications are guaranteed on two levels, i.e., primary performances are guaranteed by Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controllers, while secondary performances (e.g., economy and comfort) are maintained by a reinforcement-learning-based (RL) controller. The coordination of the control systems is carried out by a supervisor. The effectiveness of the proposed coordinated control system is illustrated through high velocity vehicle maneuvers.

The reciprocal interaction between the accommodation and pupil control systems of the human eye is examined from a theoretical point of view. The system, which is responsible for maintaining pupil diameter at a value which is a compromise between conflicting requirements, is represented by a control model, and is considered in terms of the concept of a performance index.
