Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33 (main), 35A22, 78A25, 93A30The generalization of the concept of derivative to non-integer values goes back to the beginning of the theory of differential calculus. Nevertheless, its application in physics and engineering remained unexplored up to the last two decades. Recent research motivated the establishment of strategies taking advantage of the Fractional Calculus (FC) in the modeling and control of many phenomena. In fact, many classical engineering...

Sum-of-squares based observer design for polynomial systems with a known fixed time delay

Branislav Rehák (2015)

Kybernetika

An observer for a system with polynomial nonlinearities is designed. The system is assumed to exhibit a time delay whose value is supposed to be constant and known. The design is carried out using the sum-of-squares method. The key point is defining a suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The resulting observer is in form of a polynomial in the observable variables. The results are illustrated by two examples.

Superposition of diffusions with linear generator and its multifractal limit process

End Iglói, György Terdik (2003)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper a new multifractal stochastic process called Limit of the Integrated Superposition of Diffusion processes with Linear differencial Generator (LISDLG) is presented which realistically characterizes the network traffic multifractality. Several properties of the LISDLG model are presented including long range dependence, cumulants, logarithm of the characteristic function, dilative stability, spectrum and bispectrum. The model captures higher-order statistics by the cumulants. The relevance...

Supervisory controller design for timed-place Petri nets

Aydin Aybar, Altuğ İftar (2012)

Kybernetika

Supervisory controller design to avoid deadlock in discrete-event systems modeled by timed-place Petri nets (TPPNs) is considered. The recently introduced approach of place-stretching is utilized for this purpose. In this approach, given an original TPPN (OPN), a new TPPN, called the place-stretched Petri net (PSPN), is obtained. The PSPN has the property that its marking vector is sufficient to represent its state. By using this property, a supervisory controller design approach for TPPNs to avoid...

Supervisory fault tolerant control of the GTM UAV using LPV methods

Tamás Péni, Báltin Vanek, Zoltán Szabó, József Bakor (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A multi-level reconfiguration framework is proposed for fault tolerant control of over-actuated aerial vehicles, where the levels indicate how much authority is given to the reconfiguration task. On the lowest, first level the fault is accommodated by modifying only the actuator/sensor configuration, so the fault remains hidden from the baseline controller. A dynamic reallocation scheme is applied on this level. The allocation mechanism exploits the actuator/sensor redundancy available on the aircraft....

Supervisory fault tolerant control with integrated fault detection and isolation: A switched system approach

Hao Yang, Bin Jiang, Vincent Cocquempot, Lingli Lu (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper focuses on supervisory fault tolerant control design for a class of systems with faults ranging over a finite cover. The proposed framework is based on a switched system approach, and relies on a supervisory switching within a family of pre-computed candidate controllers without individual fault detection and isolation schemes. Each fault set can be accommodated either by one candidate controller or by a set of controllers under an appropriate switching law. Two aircraft examples are...

Supervisory predictive control and on-line set-point optimization

Piotr Tatjewski (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The subject of this paper is to discuss selected effective known and novel structures for advanced process control and optimization. The role and techniques of model-based predictive control (MPC) in a supervisory (advanced) control layer are first shortly discussed. The emphasis is put on algorithm efficiency for nonlinear processes and on treating uncertainty in process models, with two solutions presented: the structure of nonlinear prediction and successive linearizations for nonlinear control,...

Supporting locomotive functions of a six-legged walking robot

Krzysztof Walas, Dominik Belter (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper presents a method for building a foothold selection module as well as methods for the stability check for a multi-legged walking robot. The foothold selection decision maker is shaped automatically, without expert knowledge. The robot learns how to select appropriate footholds by walking on rough terrain or by testing ground primitives. The gathered knowledge is then used to find a relation between slippages and the obtained local shape of the terrain, which is further employed to assess...

Sur la frontière d'un convexe mobile

Manuel D.P. Monteiro Marques (1984)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Siano A , B sottoinsiemi convessi, chiusi e limitati di uno spazio normato X , con le frontiere f r A , f r B . Dimostriamo che h ( A , B ) = h ( f r A , f r B ) , dove h è la metrica di Hausdorff tra sottoinsiemi chiusi di X . Studiamo inoltre la continuità e la semicontinuità superiore ed inferiore di una multifunzione di tipo «frontiera».
