Identification of linear continuous-time system using wavelet modulating filters

An approach to identification of linear continuous-time system is studied with modulating functions. Based on wavelet analysis theory, the multi-resolution modulating functions are designed, and the corresponding filters have been analyzed. Using linear modulating filters, we can obtain an identification model that is parameterized directly in continuous-time model parameters. By applying the results from discrete-time model identification to the obtained identification model, a continuous-time estimation method is developed. Considering the accuracy of parameter estimates, an instrumental variable (Ⅳ) method is proposed, and the design of modulating integral filter is discussed. The relationship between the accuracy of identification and the parameter of modulating filter is investigated, and some points about designing Gaussian wavelet modulating function are outlined. Finally, a simulation study is also included to verify the theoretical results.

Impact of correlated private signals on continuous-time insider trading

A model of continuous-time insider trading in which a risk-neutral in-sider possesses two imperfect correlated signals of a risky asset is studied.By conditional expectation theory and filtering theory,we first establish three lemmas:normal corre-lation,equivalent pricing and equivalent profit,which can guarantee to turn our model into a model with insider knowing full information.Then we investigate the impact of the two correlated signals on the market equilibrium consisting of optimal insider trading strategy and semi-strong pricing rule.It shows that in the equilibrium,(1)the market depth is constant over time;(2)if the two noisy signals are not linerly correlated,then all private information of the insider is incorporated into prices in the end while the whole information on the asset value can not incorporated into prices in the end;(3)if the two noisy signals are linear correlated such that the insider can infer the whole information of the asset value,then our model turns into a model with insider knowing full information;(4)if the two noisy signals are the same then the total ex ant profit of the insider is increasing with the noise decreasing,while down to O as the noise going up to infinity;(5)if the two noisy signals are not linear correlated then with one noisy signal fixed,the total ex ante profit of the insider is single-peaked with a unique minimum with respect to the other noisy signal value,and furthermore as the noisy value going to O it gets its maximum,the profit in the case that the real value is observed.

Adaptive Linear Quadratic Regulator for Continuous-Time Systems With Uncertain Dynamics

In this paper, adaptive linear quadratic regulator(LQR) is proposed for continuous-time systems with uncertain dynamics. The dynamic state-feedback controller uses inputoutput data along the system trajectory to continuously adapt and converge to the optimal controller. The result differs from previous results in that the adaptive optimal controller is designed without the knowledge of the system dynamics and an initial stabilizing policy. Further, the controller is updated continuously using input-output data, as opposed to the commonly used switched/intermittent updates which can potentially lead to stability issues. An online state derivative estimator facilitates the design of a model-free controller. Gradient-based update laws are developed for online estimation of the optimal gain. Uniform exponential stability of the closed-loop system is established using the Lyapunov-based analysis, and a simulation example is provided to validate the theoretical contribution.

Perturbation Analysis of Continuous-Time Linear Time-Invariant Systems

In this paper, we consider the perturbation analysis of linear time-invariant systems, which arise from the linear optimal control in continuous-time. We provide a method to compute condition numbers of continuous-time linear time-invariant systems. It solves the perturbed linear time-invariant systems via Riccati differential equations and continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations in finite and infinite time horizons. We derive the explicit expressions of measuring the perturbation bounds of condition numbers with respect to the solution of the linear time-invariant systems. Furthermore, condition numbers and their upper bounds of Riccati differential equations and continuous-time algebraic Riccati equations are also discussed. Numerical simulations show the sharpness of the perturbation bounds computed via the proposed methods.

TianXing:A Linear Complexity Transformer Model with Explicit Attention Decay for Global Weather Forecasting

In this paper,we introduce TianXing,a transformer-based data-driven model designed with physical augmentation for skillful and efficient global weather forecasting.Previous data-driven transformer models such as Pangu-Weather,FengWu,and FuXi have emerged as promising alternatives for numerical weather prediction in weather forecasting.However,these models have been characterized by their substantial computational resource consumption during training and limited incorporation of explicit physical guidance in their modeling frameworks.In contrast,TianXing applies a linear complexity mechanism that ensures proportional scalability with input data size while significantly diminishing GPU resource demands,with only a marginal compromise in accuracy.Furthermore,TianXing proposes an explicit attention decay mechanism in the linear attention derived from physical insights to enhance its forecasting skill.The mechanism can reweight attention based on Earth's spherical distances and learned sparse multivariate coupling relationships,promptingTianXing to prioritize dynamically relevant neighboring features.Finally,to enhance its performance in mediumrange forecasting,TianXing employs a stacked autoregressive forecast algorithm.Validation of the model's architecture is conducted using ERA5 reanalysis data at a 5.625°latitude-longitude resolution,while a high-resolution dataset at 0.25°is utilized for training the actual forecasting model.Notably,the TianXing exhibits excellent performance,particularly in the Z500(geopotential height)and T850(temperature)fields,surpassing previous data-driven models and operational fullresolution models such as NCEP GFS and ECMWF IFS,as evidenced by latitude-weighted RMSE and ACC metrics.Moreover,the TianXing has demonstrated remarkable capabilities in predicting extreme weather events,such as typhoons.

Continuous-time chaotic systems: Arbitrary full-state hybrid projective synchronization via a scalar signal

Relerrlng to contlnuous-Ume claaotlc systems, tills paper presents a new projective syncnromzatlon scheme, wnlcn enables each drive system state to be synchronized with a linear combination of response system states for any arbitrary scaling matrix. The proposed method, based on a structural condition related to the uncontrollable eigenvalues of the error system, can be applied to a wide class of continuous-time chaotic （hyperchaotic） systems and represents a general framework that includes any type of synchronization defined to date. An example involving a hyperchaotic oscillator is reported, with the aim of showing how a response system attractor is arbitrarily shaped using a scalar synchronizing signal only. Finally, it is shown that the recently introduced dislocated synchronization can be readily achieved using the conceived scheme.

RUIN PROBABILITY IN THE CONTINUOUS-TIME COMPOUND BINOMIAL MODEL WITH INVESTMENT

This article deals with the problem of minimizing ruin probability under optimal control for the continuous-time compound binomial model with investment. The jump mechanism in our article is different from that of Liu et al [4]. Comparing with [4], the introduction of the investment, and hence, the additional Brownian motion term, makes the problem technically challenging. To overcome this technical difficulty, the theory of change of measure is used and an exponential martingale is obtained by virtue of the extended generator. The ruin probability is minimized through maximizing adjustment coefficient in the sense of Lundberg bounds. At the same time, the optimal investment strategy is obtained.

Stability analysis for continuous-time systems with actuator saturation

The aim of this paper is to study the determination of the stability regions for continuous-time systems subject to actuator saturation. Using an affine saturation-dependent Lyapunov function, a new method is proposed to obtain the estimation of the domain of attraction of the closed-loop system. A family of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） that provides sufficient conditions for the existence of this type of Lyapunov function are presented. The results obtained in this paper can reduce the conservativeness compared with the existing ones. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Stabilization design for continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems based on new relaxed conditions

This paper deals with the problem of stabilization design for a class of continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno（T-S）fuzzy systems.New stabilization conditions are derived based on a relaxed approach in which both fuzzy Lyapunov functions and staircase membership functions are used.Through the staircase membership functions approximating the continuous membership functions of the given fuzzy model,the information of the membership functions can be brought into the stabilization design of the fuzzy systems,thereby significantly reducing the conservativeness in the existing stabilization conditions of the T-S fuzzy systems.Unlike some previous fuzzy Lyapunov function approaches reported in the literature,the proposed stabilization conditions do not depend on the time-derivative of the membership functions that may be the main source of conservatism when considering fuzzy Lyapunov functions analysis.Moreover,conditions for the solvability of the controller design are written in the form of linear matrix inequalities,but not bilinear matrix inequalities,which are easier to be solved by convex optimization techniques.A simulation example is given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach.

Robust dissipative filtering for continuous-time polytopic uncertain neutral systems

This article is concerned with the problem of robust dissipative filtering for continuous-time polytopic uncertain neutral systems. The main purpose is to obtain a stable and proper linear filter such that the filtering error system is strictly dissipative. A new criterion for the dissipativity of neutral systems is first provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMI）. Then, an LMI sufficient condition for the existence of a robust filter is established and a design procedure is proposed for this type of systems. Two numerical examples are given. One illustrates the less conservativeness of the proposed criterion; the other demonstrates the validity of the filtering design procedure.

Enhanced LMI Representations for H2 Performance of Polytopic Uncertain Systems: Continuous-time Case

Based on two recent results, several new criteria of H2 performance for continuous-time linear systems are established by introducing two slack matrices. When used in robust analysis of systems with polytopic uncertainties, they can reduce conservatism inherent in the earlier quadratic method and the established parameter-dependent Lyapunov function approach. Two numerical examples are included to illustrate the feasibility and advantage of the proposed representations.

Variance minimization for continuous-time Markov decision processes: two approaches

This paper studies the limit average variance criterion for continuous-time Markov decision processes in Polish spaces. Based on two approaches, this paper proves not only the existence of solutions to the variance minimization optimality equation and the existence of a variance minimal policy that is canonical, but also the existence of solutions to the two variance minimization optimality inequalities and the existence of a variance minimal policy which may not be canonical. An example is given to illustrate all of our conditions.

Development of Optimal Maintenance Policies for Offshore Wind Turbine Gearboxes Based on the Non-homogeneous Continuous-Time Markov Process

Gearbox in offshore wind turbines is a component with the highest failure rates during operation. Analysis of gearbox repair policy that includes economic considerations is important for the effective operation of offshore wind farms. From their initial perfect working states, gearboxes degrade with time, which leads to decreased working efficiency. Thus, offshore wind turbine gearboxes can be considered to be multi-state systems with the various levels of productivity for different working states. To efficiently compute the time-dependent distribution of this multi-state system and analyze its reliability, application of the nonhomogeneous continuous-time Markov process(NHCTMP) is appropriate for this type of object. To determine the relationship between operation time and maintenance cost, many factors must be taken into account, including maintenance processes and vessel requirements. Finally, an optimal repair policy can be formulated based on this relationship.

Hybrid Continuous-Time MILP Model for Crude Oil Scheduling under the Influence of High Tides

Vessels,especially very large or ultra large crude carriers(VLCCs or ULCCs),often can only dock and leave the berth during high tide periods to prevent being stranded.Unfortunately,the current crude scheduling models do not take into account tidal conditions,which will seriously affect the feasibility of crude schedule.So we first focus on the docking and leaving operations under the tidal actions,and establish a new hybrid continuous-time mixed integer linear programming(MILP)model which incorporates global event based formulation and unit-specific event based formulation.Upon considering that the multiple blending of crude oil can easily cause the production fluctuating,there are some reasonable assumptions that storage tanks can only store pure crude,and charging tanks just can be refilled after being emptied,which helps us obtain a simple MILP model without composition discrepancy caused by crude blending.Two cases are used to demonstrate the efficacy of proposed scheduling model.The results show that the optimization schedule can minimize the demurrage of the vessels and the number of feeding changeovers of crude oil distillation units(CDUs).

Suboptimal reliable guaranteed cost control for continuous-time systems with multi-criterion constraints

The suboptimal reliable guaranteed cost control （RGCC） with multi-criterion constraints is investigated for a class of uncertain continuous-time systems with sensor faults. A fauk model in sensors, which considers outage or partial degradation of sensors, is adopted. The influence of the disturbance on the quadratic stability of the closed-loop systems is analyzed. The reliable state-feedback controller is developed by a linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） approach, to minimize the upper bound of a quadratic cost fimction under the conditions that all the closed-loop poles be placed in a specified disk, and that the prescribed level of H∞ disturbance attenuation and the upper bound constraints of control inputs＇ magnitudes be guaranteed. Thus, with the above muki-criterion constraints, the resulting closed-loop system can provide satisfactory stability, transient property, a disturbance rejection level and minimized quadratic cost performance despite possible sensor faults.

A continuous-time formulation for refinery production scheduling problems involving operational transitions in mode switching

In the refinery scheduling, operational transitions in mode switching are of great significance to formulate dynamic nature of production and obtain efficient schedules. The discrete-time formulation meets two main challenges in modeling: discrete approximation of time and large size of mixed-integer linear problem(MILP).In this article, a continuous-time refinery scheduling model, which involves transitions of mode switching, is presented due to these challenges. To reduce the difficulty in solving large scale MILPs resulting from the sequencing constraints, the global event-based formulation is chosen. Both transition constraints and production transitions are introduced and the numbers of key variables and constraints in both of the discrete-time and continuous-time formulations are analyzed and compared. Three cases with different lengths of time horizons and different numbers of orders are studied to show the efficiency of the proposed model.

Unbiased parameter estimation of continuous-time system based on modulating functions with input and output white noises

An efficient unbiased estimation method is proposed for the direct identification of linear continuous-time system with noisy input and output measurements.Using the Gaussian modulating filters,by numerical integration,an equivalent discrete identification model which is parameterized with continuous-time model parameters is developed,and the parameters can be estimated by the least-squares (LS) algorithm.Even with white noises in input and output measurement data,the LS estimate is biased,and the bias is determined by the variances of noises.According to the asymptotic analysis,the relationship between bias and noise variances is derived.One equation relating to the measurement noise variances is derived through the analysis of the LS errors.Increasing the degree of denominator of the system transfer function by one,an extended model is constructed.By comparing the true value and LS estimates of the parameters between original and extended model,another equation with input and output noise variances is formulated.So,the noise variances are resolved by the set of equations,the LS bias is eliminated and the unbiased estimates of system parameters are obtained.A simulation example by comparing the standard LS with bias eliminating LS algorithm indicates that the proposed algorithm is an efficient method with noisy input and output measurements.
