The frequency-domain analysis, together with the algebra graph the- ory, is employed to derive the sufficient and necessary condition guaranteeing the average consensus. It is shown that introduc- ing the DSDF with the proper intensity in the existing consensus protocol can improve the robustness to communication delay. By analyzing the effect of DSDF on the closed-loop poles, this pa- per proves that for a supercritical-delay multi-agent system, this strategy can also accelerate the convergence speed of achieving the consensus with provided the proper intensity of the DSDE Simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.展开更多

SMC is a well-known nonlinear system control algorithm for its anti-disturbances capability, while the chattering on switch surface is one stiff question. To dissipate the well-known chattering of SMC, the switching manifold is proposed by presetting a Hurwitz matrix which is deducted from the state feedback matrix. Meanwhile, the best switching surface is achieved by use of eigenvalues of the Hurwitz matrix. The state feedback control parameters are not only applied to control the states of AUV but also connected with coefficients of switching surface. The convergence of the proposed control law is verified by Lyapunov function and the robust character is validated by the Matlab platform of one AUV model.展开更多

Adaptive SFPC is used to improve the performance of temperature control in normal operation. A simplified nonlinear model on the basis of first principles of the furnace is developed to obtain a state space model by linearization. Taking advantage of the nonlinear model, an online model adapting method is presented to accommodate the dynamic change of process characteristics because of tube coking and load changes. To compensate the large inverse response of outlet temperature resulting from the sudden increase of injected steam of a particular velocity to tubes, a monitoring method and an expert control scheme based on heat balance calculation are proposed. Industrial implementation shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy.展开更多

文摘Superconducting elect rides have attracted growing attention for their potential to achieve high superconducting transition temperatures(T_(C))under pressure.However,many known elect rides are chemically reactive and unstable,making high-quality single-crystal growth,characterization,and measurements difficult,and most do not exhibit superconductivity at ambient pressure.In contrast,La_(3) In stands out for its ambient-pressure superconductivity(T_(C)∼9.4 K)and the availability of high-quality single crystals.Here,we investigate its low-energy electronic structure using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations.The bands near the Fermi energy(E_(F))are mainly derived from La 5d and In 5p orbitals.A saddle point is directly observed at the Brillouin zone(BZ)boundary,while a three-dimensional Van Hove singularity crosses E_(F) at the BZ corner.First-principles calculations further reveal topological Dirac surface states within the bulk energy gap above E_(F).The coexistence of a high density of states and in-gap topological surface states near𝐸F suggests that La3In offers a promising platform for tuning superconductivity and exploring possible topological superconducting phases through doping or external pressure.

文摘The hybridization gap in strained-layer InAs/In_(x)Ga_(1−x) Sb quantum spin Hall insulators(QSHIs)is significantly enhanced compared to binary InAs/GaSb QSHI structures,where the typical indium composition,x,ranges between 0.2 and 0.4.This enhancement prompts a critical question:to what extent can quantum wells(QWs)be strained while still preserving the fundamental QSHI phase?In this study,we demonstrate the controlled molecular beam epitaxial growth of highly strained-layer QWs with an indium composition of x=0.5.These structures possess a substantial compressive strain within the In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)Sb QW.Detailed crystal structure analyses confirm the exceptional quality of the resulting epitaxial films,indicating coherent lattice structures and the absence of visible dislocations.Transport measurements further reveal that the QSHI phase in InAs/In_(0.5)Ga_(0.5)Sb QWs is robust and protected by time-reversal symmetry.Notably,the edge states in these systems exhibit giant magnetoresistance when subjected to a modest perpendicular magnetic field.This behavior is in agreement with the𝑍2 topological property predicted by the Bernevig–Hughes–Zhang model,confirming the preservation of topologically protected edge transport in the presence of enhanced bulk strain.

文摘As saturation is involved in the stabilizing feedback control of a linear discrete-time system, the original global-asymptotic stabilization (GAS) may drop to region-asymptotic stabilization (RAS). How to test if the saturated feedback system is GAS or RAS? The paper presents a criterion to answer this question, and describes an algorithm to calculate an invariant attractive ellipsoid for the RAS case. At last, the effectiveness of the approach is shown with examples.

文摘The delayed-state-derivative feedback （DSDF） is in- troduced into the existing consensus protocol to simultaneously improve the robustness to communication delay and accele- rate the convergence speed of achieving the consensus. The frequency-domain analysis, together with the algebra graph the- ory, is employed to derive the sufficient and necessary condition guaranteeing the average consensus. It is shown that introduc- ing the DSDF with the proper intensity in the existing consensus protocol can improve the robustness to communication delay. By analyzing the effect of DSDF on the closed-loop poles, this pa- per proves that for a supercritical-delay multi-agent system, this strategy can also accelerate the convergence speed of achieving the consensus with provided the proper intensity of the DSDE Simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

文摘This paper presents a new method to eliminate the chattering of state feedback sliding mode control （SMC） law for the mobile control of an autonomous underwater vehicle （AUV） which is nonlinear and suffers from unknown disturbances system. SMC is a well-known nonlinear system control algorithm for its anti-disturbances capability, while the chattering on switch surface is one stiff question. To dissipate the well-known chattering of SMC, the switching manifold is proposed by presetting a Hurwitz matrix which is deducted from the state feedback matrix. Meanwhile, the best switching surface is achieved by use of eigenvalues of the Hurwitz matrix. The state feedback control parameters are not only applied to control the states of AUV but also connected with coefficients of switching surface. The convergence of the proposed control law is verified by Lyapunov function and the robust character is validated by the Matlab platform of one AUV model.

文摘A new technique for considering the stabilizing time-variant state feedback gains is proposed from the viewpoint of information geometry. First, parametrization of the set of all stabilizing time-variant state feedback gains is given. Moreover, a diffeomorphic structure between the set of stabilizing time-variant state feedback gains and the Cartesian product of positive definite matrix and skew symmetric matrix satisfying certain algebraic conditions is constructed. Furthermore, an immersion and some results about the eigenvalue locations of stable state feedback systems are derived.

文摘An adaptive state feedback predictive control （SFPC） scheme and an expert control scheme are presented and applied to the temperature control of a 1200 kt·a^-1 delayed coking furnace, which is the key equipment for the delayed coking process. Adaptive SFPC is used to improve the performance of temperature control in normal operation. A simplified nonlinear model on the basis of first principles of the furnace is developed to obtain a state space model by linearization. Taking advantage of the nonlinear model, an online model adapting method is presented to accommodate the dynamic change of process characteristics because of tube coking and load changes. To compensate the large inverse response of outlet temperature resulting from the sudden increase of injected steam of a particular velocity to tubes, a monitoring method and an expert control scheme based on heat balance calculation are proposed. Industrial implementation shows the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed control strategy.
