-regularity of the boundary to boundary operator for hyperbolic and Petrowski PDEs.
Multi-level saturation feedbacks induce nonlinear disturbance-to-state L2 stability for nonlinear systems in feedforward form. This class of systems includes linear systems with actuator constraints.
The leader-following consensus of multiple linear time invariant (LTI) systems under switching topology is considered. The leader-following consensus problem consists of designing for each agent a distributed protocol to make all agents track a leader vehicle, which has the same LTI dynamics as the agents. The interaction topology describing the information exchange of these agents is time-varying. An averaging method is proposed. Unlike the existing results in the literatures which assume the LTI...
In the paper an adaptive linear control system structure with modal controllers for a MIMO nonlinear dynamic process is presented and various methods for synthesis of those controllers are analyzed. The problems under study are exemplified by the synthesis of a position and yaw angle control system for a drillship described by a 3DOF nonlinear mathematical model of low-frequency motions made by the drillship over the drilling point. In the proposed control system, use is made of a set of (stable)...
This paper is divided into two parts and focuses on the linear independence of boundary traces of eigenfunctions of boundary value problems. Part I deals with second-order elliptic operators, and Part II with Stokes (and Oseen) operators. Part I: Let be an eigenvalue of a second-order elliptic operator defined on an open, sufficiently smooth, bounded domain Ω in ℝⁿ, with Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on Γ = tial Ω. Let be the corresponding linearly independent (normalized) eigenfunctions...
In the case of linear dynamics, repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D linear systems with uses in areas ranging from long-wall coal cutting and metal rolling operations to iterative learning control schemes. The main feature which makes them distinct from other classes of 2D linear systems is that information propagation in one of the two independent directions only occurs over a finite duration. This, in turn, means that a distinct systems theory must be developed for them for onward...
