Decentralized control and synchronization of time-varying complex dynamical network

Wei-Song Zhong, Jovan D. Stefanovski, Georgi M. Dimirovski, Jun Zhao (2009)

Kybernetika

A new class of controlled time-varying complex dynamical networks with similarity is investigated and a decentralized holographic-structure controller is designed to stabilize the network asymptotically at its equilibrium states. The control design is based on the similarity assumption for isolated node dynamics and the topological structure of the overall network. Network synchronization problems, both locally and globally, are considered on the ground of decentralized control approach. Each sub-controller...

Dirac structures and dynamical r -matrices

Zhang-Ju Liu, Ping Xu (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

The purpose of this paper is to establish a connection between various objects such as dynamical r -matrices, Lie bialgebroids, and Lagrangian subalgebras. Our method relies on the theory of Dirac structures and Courant algebroids. In particular, we give a new method of classifying dynamical r -matrices of simple Lie algebras 𝔤 , and prove that dynamical r -matrices are in one-one correspondence with certain Lagrangian subalgebras of 𝔤 𝔤 .

Divergence operators and odd Poisson brackets

Yvette Kosmann-Schwarzbach, Juan Monterde (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We define the divergence operators on a graded algebra, and we show that, given an odd Poisson bracket on the algebra, the operator that maps an element to the divergence of the hamiltonian derivation that it defines is a generator of the bracket. This is the “odd laplacian”, Δ , of Batalin-Vilkovisky quantization. We then study the generators of odd Poisson brackets on supermanifolds, where divergences of graded vector fields can be defined either in terms of berezinian volumes or of graded connections. Examples...

Generalized Birkhoffian realization of nonholonomic systems

Yong-Xin Guo, Chang Liu, Shi-Xing Liu (2010)

Communications in Mathematics

Based on the Cauchy-Kowalevski theorem for a system of partial differential equations to be integrable, a kind of generalized Birkhoffian systems (GBSs) with local, analytic properties are put forward, whose manifold admits a presymplectic structure described by a closed 2-form which is equivalent to the self-adjointness of the GBSs. Their relations with Birkhoffian systems, generalized Hamiltonian systems are investigated in detail. Analytic, algebraic and geometric properties of GBSs are formulated,...
