Amiable composition is a means of dispute resolution based on the arbitrator's authority to base his decision on equity. Although this method has been used frequently in the last decades of the 20th Century, the number of the published awards by amiable compositeur arbitrators is getting lower and lower. The reason(s) for unpopularity of amiable composition should be sought in its very nature, in its relationships with other institutions such as arbitration in law, equity, ex aequo et bono arbitration, other means of dispute resolution and in its role in the development of the rules specific to international commerce. A brief look at the history of law shows that the concept of equity comes to the scene every time that the rigidity of the rules of law challenges the justice. This has been the case in the 20th Century with respect to international commercial law which was deprived of specific rules. The role of amiable composition has been to contribute to the development of the rules specific to international commerce. The progressive codification of such rules in the last decades is also owed to amiable composition, which has accomplished its mission in the evolution of these rules.

In this paper, a novel traffic flow control method based-on ramp metering and speed regulation using an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) method along with a deadzoned parameter adaptation law is proposed at a stochastic macroscopic level traffic environment, where the influence of the density and speed disturbances is accounted for in the traffic dynamic equations. The goal of this paper is to design a local traffic flow controller using both ramp metering and speed regulation based on ASMC, in order to achieve the desired density and speed for the maintenance of the maximum mainline throughput against disturbances in practice. The proposed method is advantageous in that it can improve the traffic flow performance compared to the traditional methods using only ramp metering, even in the presence of ramp storage limitation and disturbances. Moreover, a prior knowledge of disturbance magnitude is not required in the process of designing the controller unlike the conventional sliding mode controller. A stability analysis is presented to show that the traffic system under the proposed traffic flow control method is guaranteed to be uniformly bounded and its ultimate bound can be adjusted to be sufficiently small in terms of deadzone. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated under different traffic situations (i.e., different initial traffic status), in the sense that the proposed control method is capable of stabilizing traffic flow better than the previously well-known Asservissement Lineaire d'Entree Autoroutiere (ALINEA) strategy and also feedback linearization control (FLC) method.

This paper presents a new adaptive structure with fuzzy logic applied to adaptive controller. In the conventional adaptive control, good performance cannot be expected due to the adaptation gain of gradient algorithm fined as a constant. To change adaptation gain property, fuzzy rules, which are based on the output error and its rate of change, have been established. The proposed fuzzy adaptive law shows fast parameter convergence and improved performance. The fuzzy logic base is added to the conventional adaptive structure and little additional computation time is required.

In deterministic design of feedback controllers for uncertain dynamic systems, the upper bound of the uncertainty is very important to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. In this paper, we assume that the upper bound of the uncertainty is formulated using a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind, that is, an integral of the product of a predefined kernel with an unknown influence function. We propose an adaptation law that is capable of estimating this upper bound. Using this adaptive upper bound, we design an adaptive variable structure control (AVSC), which guarantees asymptotic stability/ultimate boundedness of uncertain dynamic systems. The illustrative example shows the proposed AVSC is effective for uncertain dynamic systems.

A robust adaptive tracking control architecture is proposed for a class of continuous-time nonlinear dynamic systems for which an explicit linear parameterization of the uncertainty in the dynamics is either unknown or impossible. The architecture employs an adaptive fuzzy system to compensate for the uncertainty of the plant. In order to improve the robustness under approximation errors and disturbances, the proposed architecture includes deadzone in adaptation laws. Unlike the previously proposed schemes, the magnitude of approximate errors and disturbances is not required in the determination of the deadzone size, since it is estimated using the adaptation law. The proposed algorithm is proven to be globally stable in the Lyapunov sense, with tracking errors converging to the proposed architecture.

For minimum phase systems, the conventional fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) use the error and the change-of-error as fuzzy input variables. Then the control rule table is a skew symmetric type, that is, it has UNLP (Upper Negative and Lower Positive) or UPLN property. This property allowed to design a single-input FLC (SFLC) that has many advantages. But its control parameters are not automatically adjusted to the situation of the controlled plant. That is, the adaptability is still deficient. We here design a single-input direct adaptive FLC (SDAFLC). In the AFLC, some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy rules are adjusted by an adaptive law. The SDAFLC is designed by a stable error dynamics. We prove that its closed-loop system is globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and its tracking error converges to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulations using a nonlinear plant and compare the control performance between the SFLC and the SDAFLC.

A Variable Structure Model Reference Adaptive Controller (VS-MRAC) using state Variables is proposed for single input multi output systems. . The structure of the switching functions is designed based on stability requirements, and global exponential stability is proved. Transient behavior is analyzed using sliding mode control and shows perfect model following at a finite time. The effect of input disturbances on stability and transients is investigated and shows preference to the conventional MRAC schemes with integral adaptation law. Sliding surfaces are independent of system parameters and therefore VS-MRAC is insensitive to system parameter variations. Simulation is presented to clear the theoretical results.

This paper discusses on the stochastic adaprive control which uses a least squares method in the parameter adaptation law. Especially we study on the reason why existing methods have adopted modified least squares methods. After examining the performances of these methods for time-varying systems, we propose a new method to deal with such a situation, study on the stability problem, and finally show the effectiveness of the method with a computer simulation example.

The purpose of this paper is to present a nonlinear system identification method, where an adaptive nonlinear recursive state-spare(ANRSS) filter is employed as its filter structure, and a variable step (VS) algorithm is applied as its adaptation law. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, some simulation results are included.

A systematic scheme is developed fer the design of new adaptive feedback linearizing controllers for nonlinear systems. The developed adaptation law estimates the uncertain time-varying parameters using the structure of diffeomorphisrn. Our scheme is applicable to a class of nonlinear systems which violates the restrictive parametric-pure-feedback condition [4]-[6].
