A Certain Subclass of Analytic Functions with Bounded Positive Real Part

For real numbers α and β such that 0≤α<1<β, we denote by T(α,β) the class of normalized analytic functions which satisfy , where U denotes the open unit disk. We find some relationships involving functions in the class T(α,β). And we estimate the bounds of coefficients and solve Fekete-Szego problem for functions in this class. Furthermore, we investigate the bounds of initial coefficients of inverse functions or bi-univalent functions.

A new positive real characterization and robust positive real control of descriptor systems

This paper investigates the positive real control problem for uncertain descriptor systems. The parametric uncertainty is assumed to be norm bounded. Firstly, for the nominal system, a new positive real characterization is given, which is expressed by a strict linear matrix mequality（LMI） without equality constraints. Secondly, for the uncertain system, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the positive real control problem are derived. Based on these conditions a state feedback law is obtained, which renders the resultant closed-loop system robustly positive real.

An improved Narendra model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme isproposed to research one variable displacement pump driving four hydraulic variable displacementmotors. This approach not only ensures the underdamped and unstable system be global uniformasymptotic stability, but also has good robustness in these aspects of modeling uncertainty,pressure fluctuation of constant pressure network, and disturbance from external load, which alsoupgrades the rapidity of system response so as to make controlled system with nicer dynamic quality.The scheme of one pump driving four motors can meet the demand on off-road mobility of engineeringvehicles and armored cars. A proof of stability about improved Narendra MRAC scheme is also given.

Robustness analysis of control systems with disc uncertainties

For a class of control systems with disc uncertainties, robust performance anaysis is developed. On the strictly positive realness and H-infinity-norm of uncertain systems, from the geometric point of view, two new sufficient and necessary conditions are given. The largest H-infinity-norm bound, containing the coefficients of only stable polynomials and centered at a nominal stable point in the coecient space is found. The results obtained in the paper are tractable and concise, which is illustrated by some numerical examples.

Generalized Negative Imaginary Lemma for Descriptor Systems

Flexible structure dynamics with collocated force actuators and position sensors lead to negative imaginary （NI） systems. In this paper, the authors study the extension of NI theory to descriptor systems. The authors derive an NI lemma for descriptor systems. This is done by using the transformation from positive real （PR） system to NI system. Then, the Weierstrass Form transformation was involved to transform A and E matrices to be in a special form. An illustrative example is presented to support the result. Negative imaginary systems, positive real systems, descriptor systems, Negative imaginary lemma.

Relevant connections of the results presented here with those obtained in earlier works are also pointed out.

Robust decentralized adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller design and application to AHS

A novel decentralized indirect adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller is developed for a class of large-scale uncertain nonlinear systems using error filtering.By the properly filtering of the observation error dynamics,the strictly positive-real condition is guaranteed to hold such that the proposed output feedback and adaptation mechanisms are practicable in practice owing to the fact that its implementation does not require the observation error vector itself any more,which corrects the impracticable schemes in the previous literature involved.The presented control algorithm can ensure that all the signals of the closed-loop large-scale system keep uniformly ultimately bounded and that the tracking error converges to zero asymptotically.The decentralized output feedback fuzzy controller can be applied to address the longitudinal control problem of a string of vehicles within an automated highway system（AHS） and the effectiveness of the design procedure is supported by simulation results.

The Refined Schwarz-Pick Estimates for Positive Real Part Holomorphic Functions in Several Complex Variables

In this article,the refined Schwarz-Pick estimates for positive real part holomorphic functions p(x)=p(0)+Σ_(m=k)^(∞)D^(M)p(0)(x^(m))/m!:G→Care given,where k is a positive integer,and G is a balanced domain in complex Banach spaces.In particular,the results of first order Fréchet derivative for the above functions and higher order Frechet derivatives for positive real part holomorphic functions p(x)=p(0)+Σ_(s=1)^(∞)D^(sk)p(0)(x^(sk))/(sk)!:G→Care sharp for G=B,where B is the unit ball of complex Banach spaces or the unit ball of complex Hilbert spaces.Their results reduce to the classical result in one complex variable,and generalize some known results in several complex variables.

Robust strictly positive real synthesis for polynomial families of arbitrary order

For any two n-th order polynomials a(s) and b(s), the Hurwitz stability of their convex combination is necessary and sufficient for the existence of a polynomial c(s) such that c(s)/a(s) and c(s)/b(s) are both strictly positive real.

A Backstepping Simple Adaptive Control Application to Flexible Space Structures

Although the simple adaptive control （SAC） is widely studied both in theory and application in flexible space structure control and other control problems, it is restricted by the almost strictly positive real （ASPR） conditions. In most practical control problems, the ASPR conditions are not satisfied. Therefore, based on the SAC theory, this paper proposes a backstepping simple adaptive control algorithm which suits the system with arbitrary relative degree with no need of parallel feed forward compensa- tor. The proposed control algorithm consists of decomposition of the arbitrary relative degree system into a known subsystem and an unknown ASPR subsystem which are connected in cascade, design of constant output feedback controller for the known subsystem, and implementation of backstepping method and SAC of the unknown ASPR subsystem. Inheriting the characteristics of the SAC, this method can be adaptive online for the parameter uncertainties. Then, the application of the proposed controller to large flexible space structure with collocated sensors and actuators is studied, and the simulation results validate the proposed controller. It is a new strategy to apply the classical SAC to high relative degree plants.

Observer-based Variable Universe Adaptive Fuzzy Controller Without Additional Dynamic Order

A high-precision fuzzy controller, based on a state observer, is developed for a class of nonlinear single-input-single-output(SISO) systems with system uncertainties and external disturbances. The state observer is introduced to resolve the problem of the unavailability of state variables. Assisted by the observer, a variable universe fuzzy system is designed to approximate the ideal control law. Being auxiliary components, a robust control term and a state feedback control term are designed to suppress the influence of the lumped uncertainties and remove the observation error, respectively. Different from the existing results, no additional dynamic order is required for the control design. All the adaptive laws and the control law are built based on the Lyapunov synthesis approach, and the signals involved in the closed-loop system are guaranteed to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Simulation results performed on Duffing forced oscillation demonstrate the advantages of the proposed control scheme.

Retrospect and prospect on integration of gain and phase for feedback stability analysis

In this paper,we review existing approaches to integrating small gain and small phase analysis for feedback stability of dynamical systems,and give a brief outlook for possible future directions in exploring this topic.Small gain analysis has been very successful and popular in control theory since 1960s,while the small phase analysis for multiple-input-multiple-output systems has not been well understood until recently and is now gradually taking shape.Nevertheless,there have been attempts to analyzing feedback stability via the integration of gain and phase information over decades,including the combination of small gain with positive realness as well as that with negative imaginariness.Such combinations can be subsumed into a recently proposed framework for gain-phase integration,which brings in new geometrical methods and also sheds new lights on several future directions.
