Guaranteed performance robust Kalman filter for continuous-time Markovian jump nonlinear system with uncertain noise.
The synthesis of a feedforward unit for optimal decoupling of measurable or previewed signals in discrete-time linear time-invariant systems is considered. It is shown that an optimal compensator can be achieved by connecting a finite impulse response (FIR) system and a stable dynamic unit. To derive the FIR system convolution profiles an easily implementable computational scheme based on pseudoinversion (possibly nested to avoid computational constraints) is proposed, while the dynamic unit...
This paper is devoted to design sliding mode controller for continuous-time Markov jump systems with interval time-varying delays and general transition probabilities. An integral sliding surface is constructed and its reachability is guaranteed via a sliding mode control law. Meanwhile, a linearisation strategy is applied to treat the nonlinearity induced by general transition probabilities. Using a separation method based on Finsler lemma to eliminate the coupling among Lyapunov variables and...
We show that solutions to some Hamilton-Jacobi Equations associated to the problem of optimal control of stochastic semilinear equations enjoy the hypercontractivity property.
We consider the finite element approximation of the identification problem, where one wishes to identify a curve along which a given solution of the boundary value problem possesses some specific property. We prove the convergence of FE-approximation and give some results of numerical tests.
In this note we focus attention on identifying optimal policies and on elimination suboptimal policies minimizing optimality criteria in discrete-time Markov decision processes with finite state space and compact action set. We present unified approach to value iteration algorithms that enables to generate lower and upper bounds on optimal values, as well as on the current policy. Using the modified value iterations it is possible to eliminate suboptimal actions and to identify an optimal policy...
Magnetic Resonance Diffusion Tensor Imaging (MR–DTI) is a noninvasive in vivo method capable of examining the structure of human brain, providing information about the position and orientation of the neural tracts. After a short introduction to the principles of MR–DTI, this paper describes the steps of the proposed neural tract visualization technique based on the DTI data. The cornerstone of the algorithm is a texture diffusion procedure modeled mathematically by the problem for the Allen–Cahn...
A method of combining three analytic techniques including regression rule induction, the k-nearest neighbors method and time series forecasting by means of the ARIMA methodology is presented. A decrease in the forecasting error while solving problems that concern natural hazards and machinery monitoring in coal mines was the main objective of the combined application of these techniques. The M5 algorithm was applied as a basic method of developing prediction models. In spite of an intensive development...
In this paper, a unified nonlinear modeling and control scheme is presented. A self-structuring Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is used to approximate the unknown nonlinear plant based on I/O data collected on-line. Both the structure and the parameters of the T-S fuzzy model are updated by an on-line clustering method and a recursive least squares estimation (RLSE) algorithm. The rules of the fuzzy model can be added, replaced or deleted on-line to allow a more flexible and compact model structure....
