Similarity to contraction and asymptotics of a class of infinite-dimensional discrete-time systems.
Similarity transformation of matrices to one common canonical form and its applications to 2D linear systems
The notion of a common canonical form for a sequence of square matrices is introduced. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a similarity transformation reducing the sequence of matrices to the common canonical form are established. It is shown that (i) using a suitable state vector linear transformation it is possible to decompose a linear 2D system into two linear 2D subsystems such that the dynamics of the second subsystem are independent of those of the first one, (ii) the...
Simple conditions for practical stability of positive fractional discrete-time linear systems
In the paper the problem of practical stability of linear positive discrete-time systems of fractional order is addressed. New simple necessary and sufficient conditions for practical stability and for practical stability independent of the length of practical implementation are established. It is shown that practical stability of the system is equivalent to asymptotic stability of the corresponding standard positive discrete-time systems of the same order. The discussion is illustrated with numerical...

Simple environment for developing methods of controlling chaos in spatially distributed systems
The paper presents a simple mathematical model called a coupled map lattice (CML). For some range of its parameters, this model generates complex, spatiotemporal behavior which seems to be chaotic. The main purpose of the paper is to provide results of stability analysis and compare them with those obtained from numerical simulation. The indirect Lyapunov method and Lyapunov exponents are used to examine the dependence on initial conditions. The net direction phase is introduced to measure the symmetry...
Simplification of the generalized state equations
The paper studies the problem of lowering the orders of input derivatives in nonlinear generalized state equations via generalized coordinate transformation. An alternative, computation-oriented proof is presented for the theorem, originally proved by Delaleau and Respondek, giving necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of such a transformation, in terms of commutativity of certain vector fields. Moreover, the dual conditions in terms of 1-forms have been derived, allowing to calculate...

Simultaneous controllability in sharp time for two elastic strings
We study the simultaneously reachable subspace for two strings controlled from a common endpoint. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for simultaneous spectral and approximate controllability. Moreover we prove the lack of simultaneous exact controllability and we study the space of simultaneously reachable states as a function of the position of the joint. For each type of controllability result we give the sharp controllability time.

Simultaneous Localization And Mapping: A feature-based probabilistic approach
This article provides an introduction to Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM), with the focus on probabilistic SLAM utilizing a feature-based description of the environment. A probabilistic formulation of the SLAM problem is introduced, and a solution based on the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF-SLAM) is shown. Important issues of convergence, consistency, observability, data association and scaling in EKF-SLAM are discussed from both theoretical and practical points of view. Major extensions...

Simultaneous state and parameter estimation based actuator fault detection and diagnosis for an unmanned helicopter
Simultaneous state and parameter estimation based actuator fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) for single-rotor unmanned helicopters (UHs) is investigated in this paper. A literature review of actuator FDD for UHs is given firstly. Based on actuator healthy coefficients (AHCs), which are introduced to represent actuator faults, a combined dynamic model is established with the augmented state containing both the flight state and AHCs. Then the actuator fault detection and diagnosis problem is transformed...

Singular fractional linear systems and electrical circuits
A new class of singular fractional linear systems and electrical circuits is introduced. Using the Caputo definition of the fractional derivative, the Weierstrass regular pencil decomposition and the Laplace transformation, the solution to the state equation of singular fractional linear systems is derived. It is shown that every electrical circuit is a singular fractional system if it contains at least one mesh consisting of branches only with an ideal supercapacitor and voltage sources or at least...

Singular perturbations for systems of differential inclusions
We study a system of two differential inclusions such that there is a singular perturbation in the second one. We state new convergence results of solutions under assumptions concerning contingent derivative of the perturbed inclusion. These results state that there exists at least one family of solutions which converges to some solution of the reduced system. We extend this result to perturbed systems with state constraints.
