Sampled weighted attraction control of distributed thermal scan welding

Charalabos C. Doumanidis (1999)

Kybernetika

This article addresses the problem of distributed-parameter control for a class of infinite-dimensional manufacturing processes with scanned thermal actuation, such as scan welding. This new process is implemented on a robotic GTAW laboratory setup with infrared pyrometry, and simulated by a flexible numerical computation program. An analytical linearized model, based on convolution of Green’s fields, is expressed in multivariable state-space form, with its time-variant parameters identified in-process....

Scope and generalization of the theory of linearly constrained linear regulator

Paolo Alessandro, Elena de Santis (1999)

Kybernetika

A previous paper by the same authors presented a general theory solving (finite horizon) feasibility and optimization problems for linear dynamic discrete-time systems with polyhedral constraints. We derived necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions without assuming any restrictive hypothesis. For the solvable cases we also provided the inequative feedback dynamic system, that generates by forward recursion all and nothing but the feasible (or optimal, according to the cases)...

Self-bounded controlled invariant subspaces in measurable signal decoupling with stability: minimal-order feedforward solution

Elena Zattoni (2005)

Kybernetika

The structural properties of self-bounded controlled invariant subspaces are fundamental to the synthesis of a dynamic feedforward compensator achieving insensitivity of the controlled output to a disturbance input accessible for measurement, on the assumption that the system is stable or pre-stabilized by an inner feedback. The control system herein devised has several important features: i) minimum order of the feedforward compensator; ii) minimum number of unassignable dynamics internal to the...

Self-tuning controllers based on orthonormal functions

Jozef Hejdiš, Štefan Kozák, Ľubica Juráčková (2000)

Kybernetika

Problems of the system identification using orthonormal functions are discussed and algorithms of computing parameters of the discrete time state- space model of the plant based on the generalized orthonormal functions and the Laguerre functions are derived. The adaptive LQ regulator and the predictive controller based on the Laguerre function model are also presented. The stability and the robustness of the closed loop using the predictive controller are investigated.

Self-tuning generalized predictive control with input constraints

Andrzej Królikowski, Damian Jerzy (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The handling of various input constraints in the self-tuning generalized predictive control (STGPC) problem of ARIMAXARMAX systems is considered. The methods based on the Lagrange multipliers and Lemke's algorithm are used to solve the constrained optimization problem. A self-tuning controller is implemented in an indirect way, and the considered constraints imposed on the control input signal are of the rate, amplitude and energy types. A comparative simulation study of self-tuning control system...

Semiclassical measures for the Schrödinger equation on the torus

Nalini Anantharaman, Fabricio Macià (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In this article, the structure of semiclassical measures for solutions to the linear Schrödinger equation on the torus is analysed. We show that the disintegration of such a measure on every invariant lagrangian torus is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. We obtain an expression of the Radon-Nikodym derivative in terms of the sequence of initial data and show that it satisfies an explicit propagation law. As a consequence, we also prove an observability inequality, saying...

Semi-smooth Newton methods for the Signorini problem

Kazufumi Ito, Karl Kunisch (2008)

Applications of Mathematics

Semi-smooth Newton methods are analyzed for the Signorini problem. A proper regularization is introduced which guarantees that the semi-smooth Newton method is superlinearly convergent for each regularized problem. Utilizing a shift motivated by an augmented Lagrangian framework, to the regularization term, the solution to each regularized problem is feasible. Convergence of the regularized problems is shown and a report on numerical experiments is given.

Sensor network design for the estimation of spatially distributed processes

Dariusz Uciński, Maciej Patan (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In a typical moving contaminating source identification problem, after some type of biological or chemical contamination has occurred, there is a developing cloud of dangerous or toxic material. In order to detect and localize the contamination source, a sensor network can be used. Up to now, however, approaches aiming at guaranteeing a dense region coverage or satisfactory network connectivity have dominated this line of research and abstracted away from the mathematical description of the physical...

Sensors and boundary state reconstruction of hyperbolic systems

El Hassan Zerrik, Hamid Bourray, Samir Ben Hadid (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper deals with the problem of regional observability of hyperbolic systems in the case where the subregion of interest is a boundary part of the system evolution domain. We give a definition and establish characterizations in connection with the sensor structure. Then we show that it is possible to reconstruct the system state on a subregion of the boundary. The developed approach, based on the Hilbert uniqueness method (Lions, 1988), leads to a reconstruction algorithm. The obtained results...

Separation principle for nonlinear systems: a bilinear approach

Mohamed Hammami, Hamadi Jerbi (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we investigate the local stabilizability of single-input nonlinear affine systems by means of an estimated state feedback law given by a bilinear observer. The associated bilinear approximating system is assumed to be observable for any input and stabilizable by a homogeneous feedback law of degree zero. Furthermore, we discuss the case of planar systems which admit bad inputs (i.e. the ones that make bilinear systems unobservable). A separation principle for such systems is given.

Shape optimization of elastic axisymmetric bodies

Ivan Hlaváček (1989)

Aplikace matematiky

The shape of the meridian curve of an elastic body is optimized within a class of Lipschitz functions. Only axisymmetric mixed boundary value problems are considered. Four different cost functionals are used and approximate piecewise linear solutions defined on the basis of a finite element technique. Some convergence and existence results are derived by means of the theory of the appropriate weighted Sobolev spaces.
