CALCULATING ACCURATE PERIODIC MOTIONS OF HARMONICALLY FORCED PIECEWISE LINEAR OSCILLATORS

This paper presents an efficient numerical scheme for calculating the periodic motion of a harmonically forced piecewise linear oscillator very accurately. The scheme is based on the shooting technique with the traditional numerical Poincare mapping and its Jacobian replaced by the piecewise analytic ones. Thus, the scheme gets rid of the requirement of the current schemes for an assumed order of the oscillator trajectory passing through different linear regions. The numerical examples in the paper demonstrate that the new scheme, compared with the current schemes, enables one to cope with more complicated dynamics of harmonically forced piecewise linear oscillators.

Periodic Motion Planning and Control for Double Rotary Pendulum via Virtual Holonomic Constraints

Periodic motion planning for an under-actuated system is rather difficult due to differential dynamic constraints imposed by passive dynamics, and it becomes more difficult for a system with higher underactuation degree, that is with a higher difference between the number of degrees of freedom and the number of independent control inputs. However, from another point of view, these constraints also mean some relation between state variables and could be used in the motion planning.We consider a double rotary pendulum, which has an underactuation degree 2. A novel periodic motion planning is presented based on an optimization search. A necessary condition for existence of the whole periodic trajectory is given because of the higher underactuation degree of the system. Moreover this condition is given to make virtual holonomic constraint(VHC) based control design feasible. Therefore, an initial guess for the optimization of planning a feasible periodic motion is based on this necessary condition. Then, VHCs are used for the system transformation and transverse linearization is used to design a static state feedback controller with periodic matrix function gain. The controller gain is found through another optimization procedure. The effectiveness of initial guess and performance of the closed-loop system are illustrated through numerical simulations.

Global exponential periodicity of a class of impulsive neural networks

By the Lyapunov function method, combined with the inequality techniques, some criteria are established to ensure the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the periodic solution for a class of impulsive neural networks. The results obtained only require the activation functions to be globally Lipschitz continuous without assuming their boundedness, monotonicity or differentiability. The conditions are easy to check in practice and they can be applied to design globally exponentially periodic impulsive neural networks.

PERIODIC MOTIONS OF SPINNING RIGID SPACECRAFT UNDER INFLUENCE OF GRAVITATIONAL AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

The motion of a magnetized axisymmetric spacecraft about its center of mass in a circular orbit is considered, taking the gravitational and magnetic effects of the central body into account. Equations of motion of the reduced system are transformed to equations of plane motion of a charged particle under the action of electric and magnetic fields. Stationary motions of the system are determined and periodic motions near to them are constructed using the Lyapounoff theorem of the holomorphic integral.

Local Hopf bifurcation and global existence of periodic solutions in TCP system

This paper investigates the dynamics of a TCP system described by a first- order nonlinear delay differential equation. By analyzing the associated characteristic transcendental equation, it is shown that a Hopf bifurcation sequence occurs at the pos- itive equilibrium as the delay passes through a sequence of critical values. The explicit algorithms for determining the Hopf bifurcation direction and the stability of the bifur- cating periodic solutions are derived with the normal form theory and the center manifold theory. The global existence of periodic solutions is also established with the method of Wu （Wu, J. H. Symmetric functional differential equations and neural networks with memory. Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 350（12）, 4799-4838 （1998））.

Global Periodic Attractors for a Class of Infinite Dimensional Dissipative Dynamical Systems

In this paper we consider the existence of a global periodic attractor for a class of infinite dimensional dissipative equations under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is proved that in a certain parameter, for an arbitrary timeperiodic driving force, the system has a unique periodic solution attracting any bounded set exponentially in the phase space, which implies that the system behaves exactly as a one-dimensional system. We mention, in particular, that the obtained result can be used to prove the existence of the global periodic attractor for abstract parabolic problems.

Bifurcation of Periodic Motion of Rigid Rotor System Supported by Angular Contact Ball Bearings

Rotor systems supported by angular contact ball bearings are complicated due to nonlinear Hertzian contact force. In this paper, nonlinear bearing forces of ball bearing under five-dimensional loads are given, and 5-DOF dynamic equations of a rigid rotor ball bearing system are established. Continuation-shooting algorithm for periodic solutions of the nonlinear non-autonomous dynamic system and Floquet multipliers of the system are used. Furthermore, the bifurcation and stability of the periodic motion of the system in different parametric domains are also studied. Results show that the bifurcation and stability of period-1 motion vary with structural parameters and operating parameters of the rigid rotor ball bearing system. Avoidance of unbalanced force and bending moment, appropriate initial contact angle, axial load and damping factor help enhance the unstable rotating speed of period-1 motion.

Novel criteria for global exponential stability and periodic solutions of delayed Hopfield neural networks

The global exponentially stability and the existence of periodic solutions of a class of Hopfield neural networks with time delays are investigated. By constructing a novel Lyapunov function, new criteria are provided to guarantee the global exponentially stability of such systems. For the delayed Hopfield neural networks with time-varying external inputs, new criteria are also acquired for the existence and exponentially stability of periodic solutions. The results are generalizations and improvements of some recent achievements reported in the literature on networks with time delays.

Study on High Accuracy Hybrid Controller for Periodic Motion Control

In order to realize high accuracy control for periodic motion,a hybrid controller with grey prediction was presented in this paper.Incorporating the grey prediction,repetitive control,and the traditional Proportional-Integral-Differential(PID)control,a design method of the grey prediction repetitive PID(GRPID)control algorithm was investigated,according to the characteristics of the periodic motion control.The hybrid control algorithm can estimate unsure parameters and disturbance of system using grey prediction,and compensate control in terms of the prediction results,and this may improve control quality and robustness of repetitive control for controlling periodic motion.An example was carried out to verify the feasibility of the controller.The simulation results show that this algorithm has better performances than that of the conventional repetitive control system.It indicates the presented control method is more suitable for control system of periodic motion.

Fast global motion estimation and moving object extraction algorithm in image sequences

A novel and effective approach to global motion estimation and moving object extraction is proposed. First, the translational motion model is used because of the fact that complex motion can be decomposed as a sum of translational components. Then in this application, the edge gray horizontal and vertical projections are used as the block matching feature for the motion vectors estimation. The proposed algorithm reduces the motion estimation computations by calculating the onedimensional vectors rather than the two-dimensional ones. Once the global motion is robustly estimated, relatively stationary background can be almost completely eliminated through the inter-frame difference method. To achieve an accurate object extraction result, the higher-order statistics （HOS） algorithm is used to discriminate backgrounds and moving objects. Experimental results validate that the proposed method is an effective way for global motion estimation and object extraction.
