Convergent robust stabilization conditions for fuzzy chaotic systems based on the edgewise subdivision approach

This paper concerns the problem of stabilizing fuzzy chaotic systems via the viewpoint of the edgewise subdivision approach. Firstly, a new edgewise subdivision algorithm is proposed to implement the simplex edgewise subdivision which divides the overall fuzzy chaotic systems into a lot of sub-systems by a kind of algebraic description. These sub-systems have the same volume and shape characteristics. Secondly, a novel kind of control scheme which switches by the transfer of different operating sub-systems is proposed to achieve convergent stabilization conditions for the underlying controlled fuzzy chaotic systems. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods.

Passive control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor chaotic systems

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor model can exhibit a variety of chaotic phenomena under some choices of system parameters and external input. Based on the property of passive system, the essential conditions were studied, by which Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor chaotic system could be equivalent to passive system. Using Lyapunov stability theory, the convergence condition deciding the system's characters was discussed. In the convergence condition area, the equivalent passive system could be globally asymptotically stabilized by smooth state feedback.

The Convergence Analysis of Chinese Regional Inequality

Based on the convergence theory, this paper discusses Chinese regional economic inequality among 30 provinces, which are divided into three groups, that is, Traditional Advanced Regions group, New Advanced Regions group and Less Developed Regions group. It is verified that regional income growth does not present absolute beta convergence or sigma convergence, but presents conditional beta convergence from 1978 to 2003. Those economic policies of reform and opening-up to the outside world are provided with regionally heterogeneous characteristics and are powerful enough to influence regional performance in growth.

Distributed order estimation for continuous-time stochastic systems

In this paper,we investigate the distributed estimation problem of continuous-time stochastic dynamic systems over sensor networks when both the system order and parameters are unknown.We propose a local information criterion(LIC)based on the L_(0)penalty term.By minimizing LIC at the diffusion time instant and utilizing the continuous-time diffusion least squares algorithm,we obtain a distributed estimation algorithm to simultaneously estimate the unknown order and the parameters of the system.By dealing with the effect of the system noises and the coupling relationship between estimation of system orders and parameters,we establish the almost sure convergence results of the proposed distributed estimation algorithm.Furthermore,we give a simulation example to verify the effectiveness of the distributed algorithm in estimating the system order and parameters.

Conditional mean convergence theorems of conditionally dependent random variables under conditions of integrability

We give the conditionally residual h-integrability with exponent r for an array of random variables and establish the conditional mean convergence of conditionally negatively quadrant dependent and conditionally negative associated random variables under this integrability. These results generalize and improve the known ones.

Iteration convergence condition modeling for single spaceborne SAR image direct positioning

Single SAR image direct positioning is to determine the ground coordinate for each pixel in the SAR image assisted with a reference DEM.During this procedure,an iterative procedure is essentially needed to solve the uncertainty in elevation of each pixel in the SAR image.However,such an iterative procedure may suffer from the problem of divergence in shaded and serious layover areas.To investigate this problem,we performed a theoretical analysis on the convergence conditions that has not been intensively studied till now.The Range-Doppler(RD)model was simplified and then the general surface is degenerated into a planar surface.Mathematical deduction was then carried out to derive the convergence conditions and the impact factors for the convergence speed were evaluated.The theoretical findings were validated by experiments for both simulated and real scenarios.

Sequential city growth： Theory and evidence from the US

City growth patterns are attracting more attention in urban geography studies. This paper examines how cities develop and grow in the upper tail of size distribution in a large-scale economy based on a theoretical model under new economic geography framework and the empirical evidence from the US. The results show that cities grow in a sequential pattern. Cities with the best economic conditions are the first to grow fastest until they reach a critical size, then their growth rates slow down and the smaller cities farther down in the urban hierarchy become the fastest-growing ones in sequence. This paper also reveals three related features of urban system. First, the city size distribution evolves from low-level balanced to primate and finally high-level balanced pattern in an inverted U-shaped path. Second, there exist persistent discontinuities, or gaps, between city size classes. Third, city size in the upper tail exhibits conditional convergence characteristics. This paper could not only contribute to enhancing the understanding of urbanization process and city size distribution dynamics, but also be widely used in making effective policies and scientific urban planning.

New cooperative projection neural network for nonlinearly constrained variational inequality

This paper proposes a new cooperative projection neural network （CPNN）, which combines automatically three individual neural network models with a common projection term. As a special case, the proposed CPNN can include three recent recurrent neural networks for solving monotone variational inequality problems with limit or linear constraints, respectively. Under the monotonicity condition of the corresponding Lagrangian mapping, the proposed CPNN is theoretically guaranteed to solve monotone variational inequality problems and a class of nonmonotone variational inequality problems with linear and nonlinear constraints. Unlike the extended projection neural network, the proposed CPNN has no limitation on the initial point for global convergence. Compared with other related cooperative neural networks and numerical optimization algorithms, the proposed CPNN has a low computational complexity and requires weak convergence conditions. An application in real-time grasping force optimization and examples demonstrate good performance of the proposed CPNN.

Convergence Results of Landweber Iterations for Linear Systems

The Landweber scheme is a method for algebraic image reconstructions. The convergence behavior of the Landweber scheme is of both theoretical and practical importance. Using the diagonalization of matrix, we derive a neat iterative representation formula for the Landweber schemes and consequently establish the convergence conditions of Landweber iteration. This work refines our previous convergence results on the Landweber scheme.

AN OVERALL STUDY OF CONVERGENCE CONDITIONS FOR ALGORITHMS IN NONLINEAR PROGRAMMING

Since the point-to-set maps were introduced by Zangwill in the study of conceptual algorithms, various sufficient conditions for the algorithms to be of global convergence have been established.In this paper, the relations among all these conditions are illustrated by a unified approach;still more, unlike the sufficient conditions previously given in the literature,a new necessary condition is put forward at the end of the paper, so that it implies more applications.
