Finding vertex-disjoint cycle cover of undirected graph using the least-squares method
We investigate the properties of the least-squares solution of the system of equations with a matrix being the incidence matrix of a given undirected connected graph and we propose an algorithm that uses this solution for finding a vertex-disjoint cycle cover (2-factor) of the graph .

Finite element-based observer design for nonlinear systems with delayed measurements
This paper presents a computational procedure for the design of an observer of a nonlinear system. Outputs can be delayed, however, this delay must be known and constant. The characteristic feature of the design procedure is computation of a solution of a partial differential equation. This equation is solved using the finite element method. Conditions under which existence of a solution is guaranteed are derived. These are formulated by means of theory of partial differential equations in -space....
Finite horizon nonlinear predictive control by the Taylor approximation application to robot tracking trajectory
In industrial control systems, practical interest is driven by the fact that today's processes need to be operated under tighter performance specifications. Often these demands can only be met when process nonlinearities are explicitly considered in the controller. Nonlinear predictive control, the extension of well-established linear predictive control to nonlinear systems, appears to be a well-suited approach for this kind of problems. In this paper, an optimal nonlinear predictive control structure,...

Finite-dimensional control of nonlinear parabolic PDE systems with time-dependent spatial domains using empirical eigenfunctions
This article presents a methodology for the synthesis of finite-dimensional nonlinear output feedback controllers for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation (PDE) systems with time-dependent spatial domains. Initially, the nonlinear parabolic PDE system is expressed with respect to an appropriate time-invariant spatial coordinate, and a representative (with respect to different initial conditions and input perturbations) ensemble of solutions of the resulting time-varying PDE system is...
Finite-dimensionality of information states in optimal control of stochastic systems: a Lie algebraic approach
In this paper we introduce the sufficient statistic algebra which is responsible for propagating the sufficient statistic, or information state, in the optimal control of stochastic systems. Certain Lie algebraic methods widely used in nonlinear control theory, are then employed to derive finite- dimensional controllers. The sufficient statistic algebra enables us to determine a priori whether there exist finite-dimensional controllers; it also enables us to classify all finite-dimensional controllers....
Finite-time adaptive outer synchronization between two complex dynamical networks with nonidentical topological structures
In this paper, we investigate the finite-time adaptive outer synchronization between two complex dynamical networks with nonidentical topological structures. We propose new adaptive controllers, with which we can synchronize two complex dynamical networks within finite time. Sufficient conditions for the finite-time adaptive outer synchronization are derived based on the finite-time stability theory. Finally, numerical examples are examined to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the...
Finite-time boundedness and stabilization of switched linear systems
In this paper, finite-time boundedness and stabilization problems for a class of switched linear systems with time-varying exogenous disturbances are studied. Firstly, the concepts of finite-time stability and finite-time boundedness are extended to switched linear systems. Then, based on matrix inequalities, some sufficient conditions under which the switched linear systems are finite-time bounded and uniformly finite-time bounded are given. Moreover, to solve the finite-time stabilization problem,...
Finite-time consensus problem for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents
In this paper, the problem of finite time consensus is discussed for multiple non-holonomic mobile agents. The objective is to design a distributed finite time control law such that the controlled multiple non-holonomic mobile agents can reach consensus within any given finite settling time. We propose a novel switching control strategy with the help of time-rescalling technique and graph theory. The numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.
Finite-time cooperative tracking control for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems
The problem of finite-time cooperative tracking control for a class of second-order nonlinear multi-agent systems is studied in this paper. The agent dynamic is described by a second-order nonlinear system with uncertain time-varying control coefficients and unknown nonlinear perturbations. Based on the finite-time control technique and graph theory, a class of distributed finite-time control laws are proposed which are only based on the neighbors' information. Under the proposed controller, it...
Finite-time output feedback stabilization and control for a quadrotor mini-aircraft
This paper focuses on the finite-time output feedback control problem for a quad-rotor mini-aircraft system. First, a finite-time state feedback controller is designed by utilizing the finite-time control theory. Then, considering the case that the velocity states are not measurable, a finite-time stable observer is developed to estimate the unmeasurable states. Thus a finite-time output feedback controller is obtained and the stability analysis is provided to ensure the finite-time stability of...

Sufficient conditions for the finite-time stochastic synchronization are derived based on the finite-time stability theory of stochastic differential equations. Finally, some numerical examples are examined to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the theoretical...
Finite-time topological identification of complex network with time delay and stochastic disturbance
The topology identification issue of complex stochastic network with delay and stochastic disturbance is mainly introduced in this paper. It is known the time delay and stochastic disturbance are ubiquitous in real network, and they will impair the identification of network topology, and the topology capable of identifying the network within specific time is desired on the other hand. Based on these discussions, the finite-time identification method is proposed to solve similar issues problems....
Finite-time tracking control of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots with external disturbances
This paper investigates finite-time tracking control problem of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots in dynamic model with external disturbances, where a kind of finite-time disturbance observer (FTDO) is introduced to estimate the external disturbances for each mobile robot. First of all, the resulting tracking error dynamic is transformed into two subsystems, i. e., a third-order subsystem and a second-order subsystem for each mobile robot. Then, the two subsystem are discussed respectively, continuous...
First applications of the Orbex coprocessor: Control of unmanned vehicles.
The ORBEX coprocessor has been designed to execute the typical fuzzy operations of a system based on fuzzy rules. The first real application has been fuzzy controllers for electric cars. The values of the input variables, the position and the orientation of the car with respect the desired trajectory of reference, are obtained from the data provided by a DGPS boarded in the vehicle. The values of the output variables provided by the controller are the angle that the steering wheel has to be turned...
