We show that the essential spectrum of the system in a fourth doublet state consists of the union of at most seven segments, and discrete spectrum of the system consists of no more than one point.

On Asymptotic Stabilization of Linear Discrete-time Systems with Saturated State Feedback

As saturation is involved in the stabilizing feedback control of a linear discrete-time system, the original global-asymptotic stabilization (GAS) may drop to region-asymptotic stabilization (RAS). How to test if the saturated feedback system is GAS or RAS? The paper presents a criterion to answer this question, and describes an algorithm to calculate an invariant attractive ellipsoid for the RAS case. At last, the effectiveness of the approach is shown with examples.

Estimating Hydrogeological Parameters in Covered Carbonate Rocks Using a Discrete-State Compartment Model and Environmental Tritium

Nowadays, isotope environmental technique tends to be used as a reconnaissance tool , both qualitative and quantitative, to calculate the aquifer parameters particularly in carbonate rock aquifers. But, the heterogeneous flow is still problematic when Lumped parameter Models are usually used to calculate the residence times and hydraulic parameters. However, Discrete State Compartment Model can provide a powerful model to heterogeneous medium. One such study was carried on in Dazha valley, where the environmental tritium was used as a tracer for determining hydrogeological parameters based on a discrete state compartment model

Robust Sliding-mode Filtering for a Class of Uncertain Nonlinear Discrete-time State-delayed Systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust sliding-mode filtering for a class of uncertain nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delays. The nonlinearities are assumed to satisfy global Lipschitz conditions and parameter uncertainties are supposed to reside in a polytope. The resulting filter is of the Luenberger type with the discontinuous form. A sufficient condition with delay-dependency is proposed for existence of such a filter. And the desired filter can be found by solving a set of matrix inequalities. The resulting filter adapts for the systems whose noise input is real functional bounded and not be required to be energy bounded. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Discrete state space method and modal extension method based impact sound synthesis model

The efficient and accurate synthesis of physical parameter-controllable impact sounds is essential for sound source identification. In this study, an impact sound synthesis model of a cylinder is proposed based on discrete state space（DSS） method and modal extension method（MEM）. This model is comprised of the whole three processes of the physical interaction, i.e., the Hertz contact process, the transient structural response process, and the sound radiation process. Firstly,the modal expanded DSS equations of the contact system are constructed and the transient structural response of the cylinder is obtained. Then the impact sound of the cylinder is acquired using improved discrete Raleigh integral. Finally, the proposed model is verified by comparing with existing models. The results show that the proposed impact sound synthesis model is more accurate and efficient than the existing methods and easy to be extended to the impact sound synthesis of other structures.

IMPULSIVE EXPONENTIAL SYNCHRONIZATION OF FRACTIONAL-ORDER COMPLEX DYNAMICAL NETWORKS WITH DERIVATIVE COUPLINGS VIA FEEDBACK CONTROL BASED ON DISCRETE TIME STATE OBSERVATIONS

This article aims to address the global exponential synchronization problem for fractional-order complex dynamical networks(FCDNs)with derivative couplings and impulse effects via designing an appropriate feedback control based on discrete time state observations.In contrast to the existing works on integer-order derivative couplings,fractional derivative couplings are introduced into FCDNs.First,a useful lemma with respect to the relationship between the discrete time observations term and a continuous term is developed.Second,by utilizing an inequality technique and auxiliary functions,the rigorous global exponential synchronization analysis is given and synchronization criterions are achieved in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs).Finally,two examples are provided to illustrate the correctness of the obtained results.

Delay-dependent robust H-infinity control for discrete-time uncertain systems with time-varying state delays

This paper examines the delay-dependent H-infinity control problem for discrete-time linear systems with time-varying state delays and norm-bounded uncertainties. A new inequality for the finite sum of quadratic terms is first established. Then, some new delay-dependent criteria are derived by employing the new inequality to guarantee the robust stability of a closed-loop system with a prescribed H-infinity norm bound for all admissible uncertainties and bounded time-vary delays. A numerical example demonstrates that the proposed method is an improvement over existing ones.

Application of a Discrete Phase-Randomized Coherent State Source in Round-Robin Differential Phase-Shift Quantum Key Distribution

Recently, a novel kind of quantum key distribution called the round-robin differential phase-shift （RRDPS） protocol was proposed, which bounds the amount of leakage without monitoring signal disturbance. The protocol can be implemented by a weak coherent source. The security of this protocol with a simply characterized source has been proved. The application of a common phase shift can improve the secret key rate of the protocol. In practice, the randomized phase is discrete and the secret key rate is deviated from the continuous case. In this study, we analyze security of the RRDPS protocol with discrete-phase-randomized coherent state source and bound the secret key rate. We fix the length of each packet at 32 and 64, then simulate the secret key rates of the RRDPS protocol with discrete-phase randomization and continuous-phase randomization. Our simulation results show that the performance of the discrete-phase randomization case is close to the continuous counterpart with only a small number of discrete phases. The research is practically valuable for experimental implementation.

Delay-Dependent Robust H∞ Control for Uncertain 2-D Discrete State Delay Systems Described by the General Model

This paper considers the problem of delay-dependent robust optimal H∞ control for a class of uncertain two-dimensional (2-D) discrete state delay systems described by the general model (GM). The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. A linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient condition for the existence of delay-dependent g-suboptimal state feedback robust H∞ controllers which guarantees not only the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system, but also the H∞ noise attenuation g over all admissible parameter uncertainties is established. Furthermore, a convex optimization problem is formulated to design a delay-dependent state feedback robust optimal H∞ controller which minimizes the H∞ noise attenuation g of the closed-loop system. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A Novel Simulation Method for Power Electronics: Discrete State Event Driven Method

In the analysis of power electronics system,it is necessary to simulate ordinary differential equations(ODEs)with discontinuities and stiffness.However,there are many difficulties in using traditional discrete-time algorithms to solve such equations.Kofman and others presented the quantized state systems(QSS)algorithm in the discrete event system specification(DEVS)formalism.The discretization is applied to the state variables instead of time range in QSS.QSS is efficient to solve ODEs,but it is difficulty to be used when simulating actual power electronics systems with controller’s and other events.Based on the idea of this numerical algorithm and discrete event,a Discrete State Event Driven(DSED)simulation method is presented in this paper,which is fit for simulation of power electronics system.The method is developed to deal with non-linearity,stiffness and multi-time scale of power electronics systems.The DSED simulation method includes event definition,module seperation and modeling,event-driven mechanisms,numerical computation based on QSS,and some other operations.Simulation results verified the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method.

Robust H_∞ output feedback controller design for linear uncertain discrete-time switched systems via state reset

This paper studies the problem of robust H∞ output feedback controller via state-reset for linear uncertain discrete-time switched systems. Using multiple Lyapunov functions,we address an output feedback controller under arbitrary switching signals,in which an H∞ performance is required. The condition is shown in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Finally,a numerical example shows the feasibility of the designed controller and illustrates that the new sufficient condition has lower conservation and more optimized H∞ tfperformance.

Robust stability analysis of uncertain discrete-time systems with state delay

The sufficient conditions of stability for uncertain discrete-time systems with state delay have been proposed by some researchers in the past few years, yet these results may be conservative in application. The stability analysis of these systems is discussed, and the necessary and sufficient condition of stability is derived by method other than constructing Lyapunov function and solving Riccati inequality. The root locations of system characteristic polynomial, which is obtained by augmentation approach and Laplace expansion, determine the stability of uncertain discrete-time systems with state delay, the system is stable if and only if all roots lie within the unit circle. In order to analyze robust stability of system characteristic polynomial effectively, Kharitonov theorem and edge theorem are applied. Example shows the practicability of these methods.

Arbitrary full-state hybrid projective synchronization for chaotic discrete-time systems via a scalar signal

In this paper we present a new projective synchronization scheme, where two chaotic （hyperchaotic） discrete-time systems synchronize for any arbitrary scaling matrix. Specifically, each drive system state synchronizes with a linear combination of response system states. The proposed observer-based approach presents some useful features： i） it enables exact synchronization to be achieved in finite time （i.e., dead-beat synchronization）; ii） it exploits a scalar synchronizing signal; iii） it can be applied to a wide class of discrete-time chaotic （hyperchaotic） systems; iv） it includes, as a particular case, most of the synchronization types defined so far. An example is reported, which shows in detail that exact synchronization is effectively achieved in finite time, using a scalar synchronizing signal only, for any arbitrary scaling matrix.

Discrete element modeling of sand behavior in a biaxial shear test

The mechanical behavior of sand is very complex, and depends on factors including confining pressure, density, and drainage condition. A soil mass can be contractive or dilative when subjected to shear loading, and eventually reaches an ultimate state, referred to as the critical state in soil mechanics. Conventional approach to explore the mechanical behavior of sand mainly relies on the experimental tests in laboratory. This paper gives an alternative view to this subject using discrete element method (DEM), which has attracted much attention in recent years. The implementation of the DEM is carried out by a series of numerical tests on granular assemblies with varying initial densities and confining pressures, under different test configurations. The results demonstrate that such numerical simulations can produce correct responses of the sand behavior in general, including the critical state response, as compared to experimental observations. In addition, the DEM can further provide details of the microstructure evolutions during shearing processes, and the resulting induced anisotropy can be fully captured and quantified in the particle scale.

Pseudo-Random Sequences Generator Based on Discrete Hyperchaotic Systems

We first design a discrete hyperchaotic system via piece-wise linear state feedback. The states of the closed loop system are locally expanding in two directions but absolutely bounded on the whole, which implies hyperchaos. Then, we use three suchlike hyperchaotic systems with different feedback gain matrices to design a pseudo-random sequence generator (PRSG). Through a threshold function, three sub-sequences generated from the output of piecewise linear functions are changed into 0-1 sequences. Then, followed by XOR operation, an unpredictable pseudo-random sequence (PRS) is ultimately obtained. The analysis and simulation results indicate that the PRS, generated with hyperchaotic systems, has desirable statistical features.
