Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Control theory
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Artificial intelligence

His scientific interests lie mostly in Control theory, Control theory, Linear system, Norm and Exponential stability. His Directed graph research extends to Control theory, which is thematically connected. The study incorporates disciplines such as Function space, Pure mathematics, Sampled data systems and Automatic control in addition to Control theory.

His study looks at the relationship between Linear system and fields such as Transfer function, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The concepts of his Norm study are interwoven with issues in Multiplicative function, Singular value, Finite set and Sensitivity. His Exponential stability research incorporates themes from Dynamical system, Vector field and Nonlinear control.

His most cited work include:

  • State-space solutions to standard H/sub 2/ and H/sub infinity / control problems (4968 citations)
  • Feedback Control Theory (2359 citations)
  • State-space solutions to standard H 2 and H ∞ control problems (1709 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Bruce A. Francis mainly investigates Control theory, Control theory, Optimal control, Linear system and Control system. His Control theory research includes elements of Norm and Stability. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Applied mathematics, H-infinity methods in control theory, Pole–zero plot and Sensitivity.

Bruce A. Francis interconnects Sampled data systems and Automatic control in the investigation of issues within Control theory. His work focuses on many connections between Optimal control and other disciplines, such as Discrete time and continuous time, that overlap with his field of interest in Discretization. His research in Control system intersects with topics in Upper and lower bounds, LTI system theory and Actuator.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Control theory (64.29%)
  • Control theory (15.58%)
  • Optimal control (14.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2016)?

  • Control theory (64.29%)
  • Robot (7.79%)
  • Topology (8.44%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Control theory, Robot, Topology, Kinematics and Mobile robot. His research on Control theory frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Upper and lower bounds. His work in Robot covers topics such as Visibility graph which are related to areas like Theoretical computer science, Flocking and Algorithm.

Bruce A. Francis has included themes like Lyapunov function and Invariant in his Topology study. His study in Mobile robot is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Plane, Signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio, Surface and Block diagram. His research integrates issues of Feedback control, Stationary point, Automatic control and Feed forward in his study of Control theory.

Between 2006 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Feedback Control Theory (2359 citations)
  • State Agreement for Continuous-Time Coupled Nonlinear Systems (408 citations)
  • Stabilisation of infinitesimally rigid formations of multi-robot networks (390 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Control theory
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Artificial intelligence

Bruce A. Francis spends much of his time researching Control theory, Topology, Exponential stability, Robot and Rigidity. His work on Automatic control, Feed forward and Feedback control as part of general Control theory study is frequently linked to Control and Cell, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Topology study also includes

  • Mobile robot which connect with Invariant and Lyapunov function,
  • Regular polygon which is related to area like Polygon and Monotone polygon.

The various areas that Bruce A. Francis examines in his Exponential stability study include Nonlinear control, Graph, Infinitesimal, Directed graph and Equilibrium manifold. His Directed graph research incorporates elements of Dynamical system, Vector field, Applied mathematics and Nonlinear system. His work carried out in the field of Robot brings together such families of science as Inverse, Stability result, Distributed computing and Optimal control.
