The top-order energy of quasilinear wave equations in two space dimensions is uniformly bounded

Alinhac solved a long-standing open problem in 2001 and established that quasilinear wave equations in two space dimensions with quadratic null nonlinearities admit global-in-time solutions,provided that the initial data are compactly supported and sufficiently small in Sobolev norm.In this work,Alinhac obtained an upper bound with polynomial growth in time for the top-order energy of the solutions.A natural question then arises whether the time-growth is a true phenomenon,despite the possible conservation of basic energy.In the present paper,we establish that the top-order energy of the solutions in Alinhac theorem remains globally bounded in time.

Stability and Uniform Boundedness for a Class of Anaerobic Digestion Ecological Models

Stability, boundedness and persistence are three important aspects for an ecological model. In this paper, a further analysis of a class of anaerobic digestion ecological models is performed. Based on the Liupunov Method, the local stability of all equilibria in the system is got. According to the vector fields described by the system, the proof of the boundedness of the solution on the anaerobic digestion processes is completed in three steps. The method proposed in the discussion on the boundedness can be generalized to the similar problems. Results in this paper give information on how to run the ecological system well by adjusting the system parameters.

Robust adaptive control for interval time-delay systems

This paper focuses on the robust adaptive control problems for a class of interval time-delay systems and a class of large-scale interconnected systems. The nonlinear uncertainties of the systems under study are bounded by high- order polynomial functions with unknown gains. Firstly, the adaptive feedback controller which can guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness is proposed. Then the proposed adaptive idea is extended to robust stabilizing designing method for a class of large-scale interconnected systems. Here, another problem we address is to design a decentralized feedback adaptive controller such that the closed-loop system is stable in the sense of uniform ultimate boundedness for all admissible uncertainties and time-delay. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the validity of the proposed approach.

Tracking Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Unknown Constant Input Delay

A robust delay compensator has been developed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with an unknown constant input delay.The control law consists of feedback terms based on the integral of past control values and a novel filtered tracking error,capable of compensating for input delays.Suitable Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are used to prove global uniformly ultimately bounded(GUUB)tracking,provided certain sufficient gain conditions,dependent on the bound of the delay,are satisfied.Simulation results illustrate the performance and robustness of the controller for different values of input delay.

A New Robust Adaptive Neural Network Backstepping Control for Single Machine Infinite Power System With TCSC

For a single machine infinite power system with thyristor controlled series compensation(TCSC) device, which is affected by system model uncertainties, nonlinear time-delays and external unknown disturbances, we present a robust adaptive backstepping control scheme based on the radial basis function neural network(RBFNN). The RBFNN is introduced to approximate the complex nonlinear function involving uncertainties and external unknown disturbances, and meanwhile a new robust term is constructed to further estimate the system residual error,which removes the requirement of knowing the upper bound of the disturbances and uncertainty terms. The stability analysis of the power system is presented based on the Lyapunov function,which can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness(UUB) of all parameters and states of the whole closed-loop system. A comparison is made between the RBFNN-based robust adaptive control and the general backstepping control in the simulation part to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

FLOATING QUANTIZATION EFFECTS ON MULTIRATE SAMPLED-DATA NONLINEAR CONTROL SYSTEMS

In this article, floating quantization effects on multirate sampled-data control systems are studied. It shows that the solutions of multirate digital feedback control systems with nonlinear plant and with floating quantization in the controller are uniformly ultimately bounded if the associated linear systems consisting of linearization of the plant and controller with no quantization are Schur stable. Moreover, it also shows that the difference between the response of multirate digital controllers without quantizers and the same plant with floating quantization in the controllers can be made as small as desired by selecting proper quantization level.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF A DICRETE POPULATION MODEL

In this paper, authors study the qualitative behavior of solutions of the discrete population model xn-xn-1=xn (a+bxn-k-cx2n-k),where a ∈ (0, 1), b ∈ (-∞, 0),c ∈ (0,∞ ), and k is a positive integer. They hot only obtain necessary as well as sufficient and necessary conditions for the oscillation of ail eventually positive solutions about the positive equilibrium, but also obtain some sufficient conditions for the convergence of eventually positive solutions. Furthermore, authors also show that such model is uniformly persistent, and that all its eventually positive solutions are bounded.

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS OF THE GLOBAL L^(1) SOLUTION OF THE EULER EQUATIONS FOR CHAPLYGIN GAS

In this paper, we establish the global existence and uniqueness of the solution of the Cauchy problem of a one-dimensional compressible isentropic Euler system for a Chaplygin gas with large initial data in the space Lloc1. The hypotheses on the initial data may be the least requirement to ensure the existence of a weak solution in the Lebesgue measurable sense. The novelty and also the essence of the difficulty of the problem lie in the fact that we have neither the requirement on the local boundedness of the density nor that which is bounded away from vacuum. We develop the previous results on this degenerate system.The method used is Lagrangian representation, the essence of which is characteristic analysis.The key point is to prove the existence of the Lagrangian representation and the absolute continuity of the potentials constructed with respect to the space and the time variables.We achieve this by finding a property of the fundamental theorem of calculus for Lebesgue integration, which is a sufficient and necessary condition for judging whether a monotone continuous function is absolutely continuous. The assumptions on the initial data in this paper are believed to also be necessary for ruling out the formation of Dirac singularity of density. The ideas and techniques developed here may be useful for other nonlinear problems involving similar difficulties.

Uniform Lipschitz Bound for a Competition Diffusion Advection System with Strong Competition

We prove the uniform Lipschitz bound of solutions for a nonlinear elliptic system modeling the steady state of populations that compete in a heterogeneous environment. This extends known quasi-optimal regularity results and covers the optimal case for this problem. The proof relies upon the blow-up technique and the almost monotonicity formula by Caffarelli, Jerison and Kenig.

Local and global well-posedness of entropy-bounded solutions to the compressible Navier-Stokes equations in multi-dimensions

Due to the high degeneracy and singularity of the entropy equation,the physical entropy for viscous and heat-conductive polytropic gases behaves singularly in the presence of vacuum,and it is thus a challenge to study its dynamics.It is shown in this paper that the uniform boundedness of the entropy and the inhomogeneous Sobolev regularities of the velocity and temperature can be propagated for viscous and heat-conductive gases in R3,provided that the initial vacuum occurs only at far fields with suitably slow decay of the initial density.Precisely,it is proved that for any strong solution to the Cauchy problem of the heat-conductive compressible Navier-Stokes equations,the corresponding entropy remains uniformly bounded,and the L2 regularities of the velocity and temperature can be propagated,up to the existing time of the solution,as long as the initial density vanishes only at far fields with a rate not faster than O(1/|x|^(2)).The main tools are some singularly weighted energy estimates and an elaborate De Giorgi-type iteration technique.We apply the De Giorgi-type iterations to different equations in establishing the lower and upper bounds of the entropy.

Outlier-resistant distributed fusion filtering for nonlinear discrete-time singular systems under a dynamic event-triggered scheme

This paper investigates the problem of outlier-resistant distributed fusion filtering(DFF)for a class of multi-sensor nonlinear singular systems(MSNSSs)under a dynamic event-triggered scheme(DETS).To relieve the effect of measurement outliers in data transmission,a self-adaptive saturation function is used.Moreover,to further reduce the energy consumption of each sensor node and improve the efficiency of resource utilization,a DETS is adopted to regulate the frequency of data transmission.For the addressed MSNSSs,our purpose is to construct the local outlier-resistant filter under the effects of the measurement outliers and the DETS;the local upper bound(UB)on the filtering error covariance(FEC)is derived by solving the difference equations and minimized by designing proper filter gains.Furthermore,according to the local filters and their UBs,a DFF algorithm is presented in terms of the inverse covariance intersection fusion rule.As such,the proposed DFF algorithm has the advantages of reducing the frequency of data transmission and the impact of measurement outliers,thereby improving the estimation performance.Moreover,the uniform boundedness of the filtering error is discussed and a corresponding sufficient condition is presented.Finally,the validity of the developed algorithm is checked using a simulation example.
