The topic "Polynomial-ILC-Tracking Control Design for Repetitive
Continuous-Time Linear Systems Applied to an Active Suspension of a Car
Seat" is linked to mathematics through various mathematical concepts and
methodologies involved in control system design and analysis.
1. Polynomial-ILC-Tracking Control Design: This involves the application
of polynomial functions, which are fundamental concepts in algebra and
calculus, to design iterative learning control (ILC) algorithms. These
algorithms utilize mathematical principles to iteratively adjust control inputs
based on past performance, aiming to improve tracking accuracy over
repeated tasks.
2. Repetitive Continuous-Time Linear Systems: This topic deals with the
analysis and control of linear systems that exhibit repetitive behaviour over
time. Mathematical techniques such as differential equations, Laplace
transforms, and matrix algebra are commonly employed to model and
analyse the dynamics of such systems.
3. Active Suspension of a Car Seat: The application context involves the use
of mathematical modelling techniques to describe the dynamics of the car
suspension system. This may include the use of differential equations and
state-space representations to capture the interactions between the vehicle,
the suspension components, and external forces.
Overall, the topic bridges mathematical theories and principles with real-
world engineering applications, highlighting the importance of mathematical
modeling, analysis, and control techniques in addressing complex systems
like active suspensions in automotive engineering.
Thank you very much for considering our manuscript, and we eagerly await
your response.

Yours sincerely,
