Design of an adaptive controller of LQG type: spline-based approach
The paper presents an alternative approach to the design of a hybrid adaptive controller of Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) type for linear stochastic controlled system. The approach is based on the combination standard building blocks of discrete LQG adaptive controller with the non-standard technique of modelling of a controlled system and spline approximation of involved signals. The method could be of interest for control of systems with complex models, in particular distributed parameter systems....

Designing a ship course controller by applying the adaptive backstepping method
The article discusses the problem of designing a proper and efficient adaptive course-keeping control system for a seagoing ship based on the adaptive backstepping method. The proposed controller in the design stage takes into account the dynamic properties of the steering gear and the full nonlinear static maneuvering characteristic. The adjustable parameters of the achieved nonlinear control structure were tuned up by using the genetic algorithm in order to optimize the system performance. A realistic...
Detection and accommodation of second order distributed parameter systems with abrupt changes in input term: stability and adaptation
In this note, we employ nonlinear on-line parameter estimation methods based on adaptive neural network approximators for detecting changes due to actuator faults in a class of second order distributed parameter systems. The motivating example is a cantilevered beam actuated via a pair of piezoceramic patches. We examine changes in the control input term, which provide a simple and practical model of actuator failures. Using Lyapunov redesign methods, a stable learning scheme for fault diagnosis...
Direct adaptive control of unknown nonlinear systems using a new neuro-fuzzy method together with a novel approach of parameter hopping
The direct adaptive regulation for affine in the control nonlinear dynamical systems possessing unknown nonlinearities, is considered in this paper. The method is based on a new Neuro-Fuzzy Dynamical System definition, which uses the concept of Fuzzy Dynamical Systems (FDS) operating in conjunction with High Order Neural Network Functions (F-HONNFs). Since the plant is considered unknown, we first propose its approximation by a special form of a fuzzy dynamical system (FDS) and in the sequel the...

Double-stepped adaptive control for hybrid systems with unknown Markov jumps and stochastic noises
This paper is concerned with the sampled-data based adaptive linear quadratic (LQ) control of hybrid systems with both unmeasurable Markov jump processes and stochastic noises. By the least matching error estimation algorithm, parameter estimates are presented. By a double-step (DS) sampling approach and the certainty equivalence principle, a sampled-data based adaptive LQ control is designed. The DS-approach is characterized by a comparatively large estimation step for parameter estimation and...

Dynamics for a discrete competition and cooperation model of two enterprises with multiple delays and feedback controls
This paper is concerned with a competition and cooperation model of two enterprises with multiple delays and feedback controls. With the aid of the difference inequality theory, we have obtained some sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence of the model. Under a suitable condition, we prove that the system has global stable periodic solution. The paper ends with brief conclusions.
Fast leak detection and location of gas pipelines based on an adaptive particle filter
Leak detection and location play an important role in the management of a pipeline system. Some model-based methods, such as those based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF) or based on the strong tracking filter (STF), have been presented to solve this problem. But these methods need the nonlinear pipeline model to be linearized. Unfortunately, linearized transformations are only reliable if error propagation can be well approximated by a linear function, and this condition does not hold for a gas...
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 synchronization of chaotic systems with noise perturbation
In this paper, we investigate the finite-time stochastic synchronization problem of two chaotic systems with noise perturbation. We propose new adaptive controllers, with which we can synchronize two chaotic systems in finite time. 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...
Forecasting return products in an integrated forward/reverse supply chain utilizing an ANFIS
Interests in Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) issues are growing day by day within the academia, companies, and customers. Many papers discuss profitability or cost reduction impacts of remanufacturing, but a very important point is almost missing. Indeed, there is no guarantee about the amounts of return products even if we know a lot about demands of first products. This uncertainty is due to reasons such as companies' capabilities in collecting End-of-Life (EOL) products, customers' interests...
Fully distributed consensus for high-order strict-feedback nonlinear multiagent systems with switched topologies
This paper studies the distributed consensus problem of high-order strict-feedback nonlinear multiagent systems. By employing the adaptive backstepping technique and switched system theory, a novel protocol is proposed for MASs with switched topologies. Global information such as the number of agents and communication topology is not used. In addition, the communication topology between agents can be switched between possible topologies at any time. Based on the Lyapunov function method, the proposed...

General Laws of Adaptation to Environmental Factors: from Ecological Stress to Financial Crisis
We study ensembles of similar systems under load of environmental factors. The phenomenon of adaptation has similar properties for systems of different nature. Typically, when the load increases above some threshold, then the adapting systems become more different (variance increases), but the correlation increases too. If the stress continues to increase then the second threshold appears: the correlation achieves maximal value, and start to decrease, but the variance continue to increase. In many...
