Kybernetes: Volume 31 Issue 2

What is cybernetics?

An address delivered at the University of Valladolid, Spain. Asks the Question‐What is Cybernetics?. Discusses popular notions and genuine difficulties. Looks at the origins…

Monitoring and early warning systems – a design for human survival

Technical means now exist to monitor, predict a danger and issue early warnings when something devastating is estimated to happen in the human environment. In order to adapt such…

Supporting sets for general systems

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a supporting set for a general system. We study basic properties of supporting sets for a general system, supporting sets for subsytems…

Designing a superstructure for parametric search for optimal search spaces in non‐trivial optimization problems

In the paper we design a super genetic hybrid algorithm (SuperGHA), an integrated optimization system for simultaneous parametric search and nonlinear optimization. The parametric…

Homogenising Simpson's rule

Simple modifications that can lead to increased accuracy, at least in the specific cases tested, are described for two forms of the well‐known Simpson's rule for approximate…

Approximating multiple integrals via α‐dense curves

This paper is intended to provide a numerical method for computing integrals of several variables. The method is based on a intuitive geometric idea relative to the meaning of…

Communications and forum: A cybernetic approach to the problem of cusp free‐surface flow caused by a line sink on a sloping bottom

In the present paper we investigate a two dimensional potential flow produced by a submerged sink of fluid of infinite depth located at the vertex on a sloping bottom. We…
