Solution of Extraordinary Differential Equations with Physical Reasoning by Obtaining Modal Reaction Series by Shantanu Das

“…This reactions-chain generates internal modes from zeroth mode reaction to first mode second mode and to infinite modes; instantaneously in parallel time or space-scales; and the sum of all these modes gives entire system reaction. This modal reaction as explained by physics theory exactly matches the principle of Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM). …”

Predictor-Based CACC Design for Heterogeneous Vehicles With Distinct Input Delays by Amirhossein Samii, Nikolaos Bekiaris-Liberis

“…The design achieves individual vehicle stability, string stability, and zero, steady-state speed/spacing tracking errors, relying on a nominal, constant time headway (CTH)-type CACC design that achieves these specifications when all actuators’ delays are zero. This is achieved owing to the delay-compensating mechanism, of the CACC law introduced, for long delays and despite the fact that each vehicle’s dynamics are subject to different input delays, which makes the available predictor-feedback CACC designs inapplicable. …”
