Let V and W be matrices of size n × pk and qm × n, respectively. A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of a triple (A,B,C) such that V a k-step reachability matrix of (A,B) andW an m-step observability matrix of (A,C).
In this paper, parallel navigation is proposed to track the target in three-dimensional space. Firstly, the polar kinematics models for the vehicle and the target are established. Secondly, parallel navigation is derived by using polar kinematics models. Thirdly, cell decomposition method is applied to implement obstacle avoidance. Fourthly, a brief study is given on the influence of uncertainties. Finally, simulations are conducted by MATLAB. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of...
In this paper, we present a parameter estimation method for sub-Gaussian stable distributions. Our algorithm has two phases: in the first phase, we calculate the average values of harmonic functions of observations and in the second phase, we conduct the main procedure of asymptotic maximum likelihood where those average values are used as inputs. This implies that the main procedure of our method does not depend on the sample size of observations. The main idea of our method lies in representing...
The biped robot with flat feet and fixed ankles walking down a slope is a typical impulsive dynamic system. Steady passive gaits for such mechanism can be induced on certain shallow slopes without actuation. The steady gaits can be described by using stable non-smooth limit cycles in phase plane. In this paper, it is shown that the robot gaits are affected by three parameters, namely the ground slope, the length of the foot, and the mass ratio of the robot. As the ground slope is gradually increased,...
This paper considers a parametric approach for quasi-linear systems by using dynamic compensator and multi-objective optimization. Based on the solutions of generalized Sylvester equations, we establish the more general parametric forms of dynamic compensator and the left and right closed-loop eigenvector matrices, and give two groups of arbitrary parameters. By using the parametric approach, the closed-loop system is converted into a linear constant one with a desired eigenstructure. Meanwhile,...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a disease affecting millions of people worldwide, and its medical care brings an economic wear to patients and public health systems. Many efforts have been made to deal with DM, one of them is the full-automation of insulin delivery. This idea consists in design a closed-loop control system to maintain blood glucose levels (BGL) within normal ranges. Dynamic models of glucose-insulin-carbohydrates play an important role in synthesis of control algorithms, but also in other...
In this paper, we address distributed control structures for multi-agent systems with linear controlled agent dynamics. We consider the parametrization and related geometric structures of the coordination controllers for multi-agent systems with fixed topologies. Necessary and sufficient conditions to characterize stabilizing consensus controllers are obtained. Then we consider the consensus for the multi-agent systems with switching interaction topologies based on control parametrization.
The polynomial matrix equation is solved for those and that give proper transfer functions characterizing a subclass of compensators, contained in the class whose arbitrary element can be cascaded to a plant with the given strictly...
Partial disturbance decoupling problems are equivalent to zeroing the first, say Markov parameters of the closed-loop system between the disturbance and controlled output. One might consider this problem when it is not possible to zero all the Markov parameters which is known as exact disturbance decoupling. Structured transfer matrix systems are linear systems given by transfer matrices of which the infinite zero order of each nonzero entry is known, while the associated infinite gains are unknown...
