We show that quadratic constraints admit a semi-algebraic interpretation of dynamic
systems. This allows us to improve the analysis of polynomial systems under nonlinear …

The paper presents a worst-case touchdown performance analysis of auto-landed aircraft
under complex wind disturbance. It takes advantage of the fact that the approaching aircraft …

In the design process of modern aircraft, a comprehensive analysis of worst case structural
gust loads is imperative. Because this analysis requires to consider millions of cases, the …

A new method is presented for evaluating the performance of a nonlinear control allocation
system within a linear control loop. To that end, a worst‐case gain analysis problem is …

The paper presents a worst-case touchdown condition analysis of an autolanded aircraft
under crosswind. Aircraft dynamics are generally considered altitude-and speed-dependent …

Air travel has had an increasing contribution to global CO2 and non-CO2 emissions, and
climate change. Compelled by the need for a greener aviation industry, aircraft designs are …

TO CERTIFYa new aircraft, it must be proved that it can withstand loads caused by
turbulence and gusts [1]. According to the certification regulations [2, 3], two types of …

A general framework for Region of Attraction (ROA) analysis is presented. The considered
system consists of the feedback interconnection of a plant with polynomial dynamics and a …

In recent years significant effort was put into developing analytical worst-case analysis tools
to supplement the Verification & Validation (V&V) process of complex industrial applications …

Hard constrained control problems are popular in practical applications due to physical and
power limitations. For instance, the displacement of a linear actuator is finite. A lot of studies …
