Controllability of the Semilinear Heat Equation with Impulses and Delay on the State

Hugo Leiva (2015)

Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems

In this paper we prove the interior approximate controllability of the following Semilinear Heat Equation with Impulses and Delay [...] where Ω is a bounded domain in RN(N ≥ 1), φ : [−r, 0] × Ω → ℝ is a continuous function, ! is an open nonempty subset of Ω, 1ω denotes the characteristic function of the set ! and the distributed control u be- longs to L2([0, τ]; L2(Ω; )). Here r ≥ 0 is the delay and the nonlinear functions f , Ik : [0, τ] × ℝ × ℝ → ℝ are smooth enough, such that [...] Under this...

Controllability properties of a class of systems modeling swimming microscopic organisms

Mario Sigalotti, Jean-Claude Vivalda (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a finite-dimensional model for the motion of microscopic organisms whose propulsion exploits the action of a layer of cilia covering its surface. The model couples Newton's laws driving the organism, considered as a rigid body, with Stokes equations governing the surrounding fluid. The action of the cilia is described by a set of controlled velocity fields on the surface of the organism. The first contribution of the paper is the proof that such a system is generically controllable...

Cut locus and optimal synthesis in the sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions of a plane*

Yuri L. Sachkov (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The left-invariant sub-Riemannian problem on the group of motions (rototranslations) of a plane SE(2) is considered. In the previous works [Moiseev and Sachkov, ESAIM: COCV, DOI: 10.1051/cocv/2009004; Sachkov, ESAIM: COCV, DOI: 10.1051/cocv/2009031], extremal trajectories were defined, their local and global optimality were studied. In this paper the global structure of the exponential mapping is described. On this basis an explicit characterization of the cut locus and Maxwell set is obtained....

Data-driven models for fault detection using kernel PCA: A water distribution system case study

Adam Nowicki, Michał Grochowski, Kazimierz Duzinkiewicz (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA), an example of machine learning, can be considered a non-linear extension of the PCA method. While various applications of KPCA are known, this paper explores the possibility to use it for building a data-driven model of a non-linear system-the water distribution system of the Chojnice town (Poland). This model is utilised for fault detection with the emphasis on water leakage detection. A systematic description of the system's framework is followed by...

Decentralized control for large-scale systems with time-varying delay and unmatched uncertainties

Wen-Jeng Liu (2011)

Kybernetika

Many real-world systems contain uncertainties and with time-varying delays, also, they have become larger and more complicated. Hence, a new decentralized variable structure control law is proposed for a class of uncertain large-scale system with time varying delay in the interconnection and time varying unmatched uncertainties in the state matrix. The proposed decentralized control law for the large-scale time-varying delay system is realized independently through the delayed terms and it can drive...

Decentralized output regulation of large scale nonlinear systems with delay

Zhengtao Ding (2009)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with output regulation of a class of large-scale nonlinear systems with delays. Each of the subsystems is in the output feedback form, with nonlinear functions of the subsystem output and the outputs of other subsystems. The system outputs are subject to unknown constant delays. Both the system dynamics and the measurements are subject to unknown disturbances generated from unknown linear exosystems. Decentralized control design approach is adopted to design local controllers using...
