Existing distributed NE seeking approaches often overlook practical input constraints or rely on centralized information. To address these issues, a novel edge-based double-layer adaptive control framework is proposed. Specifically, adaptive scaling parameters are embedded into the edge weights of the communication graph, enabling a fully distributed scheme that avoids dependence on centralized or global knowledge. Every participant modifies its strategy by exclusively utilizing local information and communicating with its neighbors to iteratively approach the NE. By incorporating damping terms into the design of the adaptive parameters, the proposed approach effectively suppresses unbounded parameter growth and consequently guarantees the boundedness of the adaptive gains. In addition, to account for actuator saturation, the proposed distributed NE seeking approach incorporates a saturation function, which ensures that control inputs do not exceed allowable ranges. A rigorous Lyapunov-based analysis guarantees the convergence and boundedness of all system variables. Finally, the presentation of simulation results aims to validate the efficacy and theoretical soundness of the proposed approach.展开更多

A digital filter with ideal sloping shape in frequency domain is designed for frequency discrimination. With this filter, the FM signal is converted into AM-FM signal by frequency-to-amplitude conversion. The modulating signal is finally extracted from the envelope of the AM-FM signal. Simulations show that the digital demodulation method could accurately recover the modulating signal in low signal noise ratio （SNR） circumstance, and has good performance in suppressing interference of harmonies of traction current frequency. The feasibility of the proposed method is proved in a hardware system based on SHARC DSP.展开更多

A multi-tone seed laser generated by a sine wave phase modulated single-frequency laser is employed for stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression in an all-fiber amplifier. A demodulation signal which is π phase shifted with respect to the modulation signal is used to retrieve the single-frequency laser from the multi-tone laser. In experiment, we first optimize the all-fiber master-oscillator power-amplifier. With this amplifier, we demonstrate a single-frequency retrievable multi-tone laser with 330-W output when driven by the multi-tone seed, while the ultimate output power is only 130 W when driven by the single-frequency laser. Then, we carry out an experiment for retrieving the single-frequency laser from the amplified multi-tone laser. Results indicate that the single-frequency laser can be retrieved with a sideband suppression of more than 20 dB. Retrieving an even higher power single-frequency laser is possible if a high power demodulator is available.展开更多

According to the coupling of input saturation and denial of service(DoS) attacks, impulsive control for MASs becomes extremely challenging. Considering general DoS attacks,this paper provides the sufficient conditions for the almost sure consensus of the MASs with input saturation, where the error system can achieve almost sure local exponential stability.Through linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), the relation between the trajectory boundary and DoS attacks is characterized, and the trajectory boundary is estimated. Furthermore, an optimization method of the domain of attraction is proposed to maximize the size. And a non-conservative and practical boundary is proposed to characterize the effect of DoS attacks on MASs. Finally, considering a multi-agent system with typical Chua's circuit dynamic model, an example is provided to illustrate the theorems' correctness.展开更多

文摘Enhancing the stability and performance of practical control systems in the presence of nonlinearity,time delay,and uncertainty remains a significant challenge.Particularly,a class of strict-feedback nonlinear uncertain systems characterized by unknown control directions and time-varying input delay lacks comprehensive solutions.In this paper,we propose an observerbased adaptive tracking controller to address this gap.Neural networks are utilized to handle uncertainty,and a unique coordinate transformation is employed to untangle the coupling between input delay and unknown control directions.Subsequently,a new auxiliary signal counters the impact of time-varying input delay,while a Nussbaum function is introduced to solve the problem of unknown control directions.The leverage of an advanced dynamic surface control technique avoids the“complexity explosion”and reduces boundary layer errors.Synthesizing these techniques ensures that all the closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded(SGUUB),and the tracking error converges to a small region around the origin by selecting suitable parameters.Simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.

文摘This paper addresses the lane-keeping control problem for autonomous ground vehicles subject to input saturation and uncertain system parameters.An enhanced adaptive terminal sliding mode based prescribed performance control scheme is proposed,which enables the lateral position error of the vehicle to be kept within the prescribed performance boundaries all the time.This is achieved by firstly introducing an improved performance function into the controller design such that the stringent initial condition requirements can be relaxed,which further allows the global prescribed performance control result,and then,developing a multivariable adaptive terminal sliding mode based controller such that both input saturation and parameter uncertainties are handled effectively,which further ensures the robust lane-keeping control.Finally,the proposed control strategy is validated through numerical simulations,demonstrating its effectiveness.

文摘The effects of Ti/N ratio on the number densities of nano particles,the size of the prior austenite grain(PAG)and the toughness of the heat-affected zone(HAZ)of Mg-deoxidized steels were studied after high heat input welding of 400 kJ/cm.With increasing the Ti/N ratio from 2.7 to 5.7,the cuboid nano-sized particles are formed,and their number density increases.The area fractions of ductile intragranular acicular ferrites(IAFs)have the highest value and the area fractions of brittle microstructures of ferrite side plates and upper bainites have the lowest value in TN30 steel.With the Ti/N ratio of about 3.0,the HAZ of steel plate has the best low-temperature toughness.With increasing the Ti/N ratio from 2.7 to 5.7,the PAG sizes after the high-temperature laser scanning confocal microscopy observation decrease linearly with increasing the number densities of nano-sized particles.The PAG size of TN30 steel is between 100 and 150μm,which is conducive to the nucleation of IAFs.

文摘Unknown time-varying periodic disturbances and input delays can degrade control performance and even lead to system instability.This paper presents a novel direct adaptive output feedback controller based on the internal model principle(IMP)to compensate for the unknown time-varying periodic disturbance in input delay systems.To reduce the design difficulty of the controller,the input delay system is equivalent to an input delay-free system by constructing stable auxiliary systems.Next,all the stabilizing controllers of the input delay system are derived by using the Youla parameterization method.Based on the IMP,an interpolation condition to completely compensate for periodic disturbances is formulated.Then,to compensate for the unknown time-varying periodic disturbance,a parameter adaptive algorithm is designed to update the Q-parameters online.The convergence of adaptive algorithms is analyzed by the Lyapunov function theory.Simulation and experimental results validated the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘This paper investigates the secure impulsive consensus of Lipschitz-type nonlinear multi-agent systems(MASs) with input saturation. According to the coupling of input saturation and denial of service(DoS) attacks, impulsive control for MASs becomes extremely challenging. Considering general DoS attacks,this paper provides the sufficient conditions for the almost sure consensus of the MASs with input saturation, where the error system can achieve almost sure local exponential stability.Through linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), the relation between the trajectory boundary and DoS attacks is characterized, and the trajectory boundary is estimated. Furthermore, an optimization method of the domain of attraction is proposed to maximize the size. And a non-conservative and practical boundary is proposed to characterize the effect of DoS attacks on MASs. Finally, considering a multi-agent system with typical Chua's circuit dynamic model, an example is provided to illustrate the theorems' correctness.
