Explicit Inversion/Multiplication

Perhaps the simplest and most obvious way to compute the opmtional space inertia matrix (or its inverse) is by the explicit inversion and multiplication of the Jacobian and joint space inertia matrices as shown in Equations 4.19 and 4.20. We will call this the Explicit Inversion/Multiplication Method. Although we will see that this is not the most efficient approach, it is in standard use today and may serve as a benchmark for new computational approaches. 

The molecular structure of the unknown chemical could be found by inverting these three relationships. However, an explicit inversion is not analytic (the molecular structure is described by integer variables denoting the presence or absence of specific atoms and bonds), and it accepts multiple solutions (there may be several molecules satisfying the constraints). Implicit inversion of Eqs. (1) is possible through the formulation of appropriate optimization problems. However, in such cases the complexity and nonlinear character of the functional relationships used to estimate the values of physical properties in conjunction with the integer variables description of molecular structures, yield very complex mixed-integer optimization formulations. 

The scalar operations (multiplications, additions) required to compute A and its inverse using the Explicit Inversiori/Multiplication Method are shown in Thble 4.2. All operations are given for an V degree-of-freedom manipulator... 

For two-time-scale systems, it is well established that inversion-based controllers designed without explicitly accounting for the time-scale multiplicity are ill-conditioned and can lead to closed-loop instability. In order to avoid such issues, controller design must be addressed on the basis of the reduced-order representations of the slow and fast dynamics, an approach referred to as composite control (see, e.g., Chow and Kokotovic 1976, 1978, Saberi and Khalil 1985, Kokotovic et al. 1986, Christofides and Daoutidis 1996a, 1996b). 

When we carry out the multiplications required by Eqs. 12.2.18-12.2.21, we obtain explicit expressions for the elements of the inverse matrices and in terms of... 

PZ (beta is a number between 0 and 1.0, and L is the total length of the string) causes notches to appear in the spectrum at multiples ofy / p. This can be modeled explicitly by feeding in the appropriate initial condition. We can also cleverly get the same effect by placing an inverse comb filter (all zero, harmonically spaced notches) in the excitation path, and adjusting the length to cause the correct nulls in the spectrum. 

It is not at present clear how these arguments could be extended to deal with multiple minima resulting from permutational invariance. Since no explicit consideration of rotational motion has been attempted, nothing can be said about the rotational motion of the system, though the effects of inversion symmetry are considered. This work is perhaps most usefully seen as a justification of the original Bom-Oppenheimer conclusions for a system in which the nuclei are treated as identifiable particles in which electronic motion is unaffected by the rotational motion of the whole system.
