TL;DR: The main result is that the sets of trees generated by regular systems are exactly those that are accepted by tree automata.
Abstract: Trees are defined as mappings from tree structures (in the graph-theoretic sense) into sets of symbols. Regular systems are defined in which the production rules are of the form Φ → ψ , where Φ and ψ are trees. An application of a rule involves replacing a subtree Φ by the tree ψ . The main result is that the sets of trees generated by regular systems are exactly those that are accepted by tree automata. This generalizes a theorem of BUchi, proved for strings.

01 Oct 1996TL;DR: This paper considers the task that the end point of the manipulator tracks a desired trajectory in a fixed reference frame and examines the effect of the dynamic interaction between the manipulators and the mobile platform of a mobile manipulator on the task performance.
Abstract: A mobile manipulator composed of a manipulator and a mobile platform has a much larger workspace than a fixed-base manipulator due to the mobility provided by the platform. While the on-board manipulator reaches out and performs manipulation tasks, the role of the mobile platform is to position the manipulator in a preferred configuration. In this paper, we study the effect of the dynamic interaction between the manipulator and the mobile platform of a mobile manipulator on the task performance. We consider the task that the end point of the manipulator tracks a desired trajectory in a fixed reference frame. The effect of the dynamic interaction on the tracking performance is examined by comparing four different cases: 1) with full compensation of the dynamic interaction with each other; 2) with the mobile platform compensating the dynamic interaction caused by the manipulator; 3) with the manipulator compensating the dynamic interaction caused by the mobile platform; and 4) without any compensation of the dynamic interaction at all. Simulation results from representative trajectories are presented to illustrate the effect.

TL;DR: Extratropical transition in the western North Pacific is defined here in terms of two stages: transformation, in which the tropical cyclone evolves into a baroclinic storm; and reintensification, where the transformed storm then deepens as an extrropical cyclone.
Abstract: Extratropical transition (ET) in the western North Pacific is defined here in terms of two stages: transformation, in which the tropical cyclone evolves into a baroclinic storm; and reintensification, where the transformed storm then deepens as an extratropical cyclone. In this study, 30 ET cases occurring during 1 June–31 October 1994–98 are reviewed using Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System analyses; hourly geostationary visible, infrared, and water vapor imagery; and microwave imagery. A brief climatology based on these cases is presented for the transformation stage and the subsequent cyclone characteristics of the reintensification stage. A three-dimensional conceptual model of the transformation stage of ET in the western North Pacific Ocean is proposed that describes how virtually all 30 cases evolved into an incipient, baroclinic low. The three-step evolution of the transformation of Typhoon (TY) David (September 1997) is described as a prototypical example. Four importa...
