Based on the bounded real lemma a sufficient condition for the existence of a decentralized robust H_∞ state feedback controller was derived. This condition is expressed as the feasibility problem of a certain nonlinear matrix inequality. The controller, which makes the closed-loop large-scale system robust stable and satisfies the given H_∞ performance, is obtained by the offered homotopy iterative linear matrix inequality method. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

A backstepping adaptive sliding mode controller was proposed based on backstepping technology and method of dynamic slide model control. By means of theoretical analysis, it is proved that the proposed controller ensures that the solutions of closed loop system have the ultimate boundedness property. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.展开更多

The control volume formulation is adopted to solve the governing equations of two-phase flow in a 3-D spherical coordinate system. Numerical results show that the streamlines for Re = 0 are closed Jeffery orbits on the surface of the liquid sphere, and also closed curves outside and inside the liquid sphere. However, the streamlines have intricate and non-closed structures for Re ≠ 0. The flow structure is dependent on the values of Reynolds number and interior-to-exterior viscosity ratio.展开更多

Thus, it is imperative to optimize production processes. Faced with this scenario, multivariable predictive control of processes has been presented as a powerful alternative to achieve these goals. Moreover, the rationale for implementation of advanced control and subsequent analysis of its post-match performance also focus on the benefits that this tool brings to the plant. It is therefore essential to establish a methodology for analysis, based on clear and measurable criteria. Currently, there are different methodologies available in the market to assist with such analysis. These tools can have a quantitative or qualitative focus. The aim of this study is to evaluate three of the best current main performance assessment technologies: Minimum Variance Control-Harris Index; Statistical Process Control (Cp and Cpk); and the Qin and Yu Index. These indexes were studied for an alumina plant controlled by three MPC (model predictive control) algorithms (GPC (generalized predictive control), RMPCT (robust multivariable predictive control technology) and ESSMPC (extended state space model predictive controller)) with different results.展开更多

Effects of different initial thicknesses, pass reductions, speed ratios and offset distances on the bending value of the plate were analyzed. ‘Quasi smooth plate' and optimum offset distance were defined and quasi smooth plate could be acquired by adjusting offset distance, and then bending control equation was fitted. The results show that bending value of the plate as well as the extent of the increase grows with the increase of pass reduction and decrease of initial thickness; the bending value firstly increases and then keeps steady with the ascending speed ratio; the bending value can be reduced by enlarging the offset distance. The optimum offset distance varies for different rolling parameters and it is augmented with the increase of pass reduction and speed ratio and the decrease of initial thickness. A proper offset distance for different rolling parameters can be calculated by the bending control equation and this equation can be a guidance to acquire a quasi smooth plate. The FEM results agree well with experimental results.展开更多

These Lagrange point orbits are exponentially unstable. On the basis of an analytical method, an orbit control strategy that is designed to eliminate the dominant unstable components of Lagrange point orbits is developed. The proposed strategy enables the derivation of the analytical expression of nonlinear control force. The control parameter of this strategy can be arbitrarily selected provided that the parameter is considerably lower than the negative eigenvalue of motion equations, and that the energy required keeps the same order of magnitude. The periodic or quasi-periodic orbit of controlled equations remains near the periodic or quasi-periodic orbit of uncontrolled equations.展开更多

First of all, the authors derive a priori error estimates where|||u - Uh|||L∞(J;L2(Ω)) = O(h2 + k).

Secondly, the authors obtain a posteriori error estimates of residual type. Finally, the authors present some numerical algorithms for the optimal control problem and do some numerical experiments to illustrate their theoretical results.展开更多

Combining forward-backward stochastic differential equation theory with certain classical convex variational techniques, the necessary maximum principle is proved for the partially observed optimal control, where the control domain is a nonempty convex set. Under certain convexity assumptions, the author also gives the sufficient conditions of an optimal control for the aforementioned optimal optimal problem. To illustrate the theoretical result, the author also works out an example of partial information linear-quadratic optimal control, and finds an explicit expression of the corresponding optimal control by applying the necessary and sufficient maximum principle.展开更多

For this purpose, the author derives an (rapid) observability inequality for wave equations with linear time-variant potential by means of the energy estimate. The main difference of the method from the previous ones is that any unique continuation property of the corresponding linear time-variant wave equations is not needed.展开更多
