New methods for designing indirect adaptive fault-tolerant controllers via state feedback are presented for actuator fault compensations. Based on the on-line estimation of eventual faults, the adaptive fault-tolerant controller parameters are updating automatically to compensate the fault effects on systems. The designs are developed in the framework of linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach, which can enlarge the domain of attraction of closed-loop systems in the cases of actuator saturation and actuator failures. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the design method.展开更多

In signal proces...In traditional system identification (SI), actual values of system parameters are concealed in the input and output data;hence, it is necessary to apply estimation methods to determine the parameters. In signal processing, a signal with N elements must be sampled at least N times. Thus, most SI methods use N or more sample data to identify a model with N parameters;however, this can be improved by a new sampling theory called compressive sensing (CS). Based on CS, an SI method called compressive measurement identification (CMI) is proposed for reducing the data needed for estimation, by measuring the parameters using a series of linear measurements, rather than the measurements in sequence. In addition, the accuracy of the measurement process is guaranteed by a criterion called the restrict isometric principle. Simulations demonstrate the accuracy and robustness of CMI in an underdetermined case. Further, the dynamic process of a DC motor is identified experimentally, establishing that CMI can shorten the identification process and increase the prediction accuracy.展开更多

We provide a method to compute condition numbers of continuous-time linear time-invariant systems. It solves the perturbed linear time-invariant systems via Riccati differential equations and continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations in finite and infinite time horizons. We derive the explicit expressions of measuring the perturbation bounds of condition numbers with respect to the solution of the linear time-invariant systems. Furthermore, condition numbers and their upper bounds of Riccati differential equations and continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations are also discussed. Numerical simulations show the sharpness of the perturbation bounds computed via the proposed methods.展开更多

This algorithm can identify not only model coefficients of the system, but also its differential order at the same time. The basic idea is to change the system matrix into a diagonal one through basis transformation. This makes it possible to turn the system’s input-output relationships into the summation of several simple subsystems, and after the identification of these subsystems, the whole identification system is obtained which is algebraically equivalent to the former system. Finally an identification example verifies the effectiveness of the method previously mentioned.展开更多

文摘Due to the heterogeneity of rock masses and the variability of in situ stress,the traditional linear inversion method is insufficiently accurate to achieve high accuracy of the in situ stress field.To address this challenge,nonlinear stress boundaries for a numerical model are determined through regression analysis of a series of nonlinear coefficient matrices,which are derived from the bubbling method.Considering the randomness and flexibility of the bubbling method,a parametric study is conducted to determine recommended ranges for these parameters,including the standard deviation(σb)of bubble radii,the non-uniform coefficient matrix number(λ)for nonlinear stress boundaries,and the number(m)and positions of in situ stress measurement points.A model case study provides a reference for the selection of these parameters.Additionally,when the nonlinear in situ stress inversion method is employed,stress distortion inevitably occurs near model boundaries,aligning with the Saint Venant's principle.Two strategies are proposed accordingly:employing a systematic reduction of nonlinear coefficients to achieve high inversion accuracy while minimizing significant stress distortion,and excluding regions with severe stress distortion near the model edges while utilizing the central part of the model for subsequent simulations.These two strategies have been successfully implemented in the nonlinear in situ stress inversion of the Xincheng Gold Mine and have achieved higher inversion accuracy than the linear method.Specifically,the linear and nonlinear inversion methods yield root mean square errors(RMSE)of 4.15 and 3.2,and inversion relative errors(δAve)of 22.08%and 17.55%,respectively.Therefore,the nonlinear inversion method outperforms the traditional multiple linear regression method,even in the presence of a systematic reduction in the nonlinear stress boundaries.
文摘Incremental Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion(INDI)is a control approach that has gained popularity in flight control over the past decade.Besides the INDI law,several common additional components complement an INDI-based controller.This paper,the second part of a two-part series of surveys on INDI,aims to summarize the modern trends in INDI and its related components.Besides a comprehensive components specification,it addresses their most common challenges,compares different variants,and discusses proposed advances.Further important aspects of INDI are gain design,stability,and robustness.This paper also provides an overview of research conducted concerning these aspects.This paper is written in a tutorial style to familiarize researchers with the essential specifics and pitfalls of INDI and its components.At the same time,it can also serve as a reference for readers already familiar with INDI.
文摘Let a_(1),a_(2),a_(3)be nonzero integers with gcd(a_(1),a_(2),a_(3))=1,and let k be any positive integer,K=max[3,|a_(1)|,|a_(2)|,|a_(3)|,k].Suppose that l_(1),l_(2),l_(3)are integers each coprime to k.Suppose further that b is any integer satisfying some necessary congruent conditions.The solvability of linear equation a_(1)p_(1)+a_(2)p_(2)+a_(3)p_(3)=b(p_(j)=l_(j)(mod k),1≤j≤3)with prime variables pi,p_(2),ps is investigated.It is proved that if ai,a_(2),a_(3)are all positive,then the above equation is solvable whenever b≥K^(25);if a,a_(2),a_(3)are not all of the same sign,then the above equation has a solution p_(1),p_(2),p_(3)satisfying max(p_(1),p_(2),p_(3))≤3|b|+K^(25).

文摘We study the existence and stability of dark-gap solitons in linear lattice and nonlinear lattices.The results indicate that the combination of linear and nonlinear lattices gives dark-gap solitons unique properties.The linear lattice can stabilize dark-gap solitons,while the nonlinear lattice reduces the stability of dark-gap solitons.On the basis of numerical analysis,we investigate the effects of lattice depth,chemical potential,nonlinear lattice amplitude,and nonlinear lattice period on the soliton in mixed lattices with the same and different periods.The stability of dark-gap soliton is studied carefully by means of real-time evolution and linear stability analysis.Dark-gap solitons can exist stably in the band gap,but the solitons formed by the mixed lattices are slightly different when the period is the same or different.
