This paper considers the problem of robust mixed H 2 / H ∞ delayed state feedback control for a class of uncertain neutral systems with time‐varying discrete and distributed delays. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional theory, new required sufficient conditions are established in terms of delay‐range‐dependent linear matrix inequalities for the stability and stabilization of the considered system using some free matrices. The desired robust mixed H 2 / H ∞ delayed state feedback control is derived based on a convex optimization method such that the resulting closed‐loop system is asymptotically stable and satisfies H 2 performance with a guaranteed cost and a prescribed level of H ∞ performance, simultaneously. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
Current-based technique is an economic solution to detect bearing faults in drive-trains. Localized faults produce characteristic vibration frequencies. When an electric motor is supplied by a frequency-converter, the current response includes not only the fundamental and fault related frequencies but also higher harmonics from the inverter. This paper introduces a resonant filter to pick up frequency components caused by the localized faults. The bearing fault frequencies are calculated by bearing geometry and motor speeds. The filter frequencies are selected as a function of motor speeds. The filter is independent of the load condition, so it can work at different motor operating points to detect the localized bearing faults. Simulation results will verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
This paper considers the problems of delay-dependent stability and l 1-gain analysis for a class of positive two-dimensional (2D) Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy linear systems with state delays described by the second FM model. Firstly, the co-positive type Lyapunov function method is applied to establish sufficient conditions of asymptotical stability for the addressed positive 2D T–S fuzzy system. Then, the l 1-gain performance analysis for the positive 2D T–S fuzzy delayed system is studied. All the obtained results are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which are computationally tractable. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
The authors are concerned with the accuracy of azimuth and elevation estimates provided by a planar array of sensors and its relation to the array manifold differential geometry. The paper builds on previously published results regarding the influence of manifold differential geometry on the detection and resolution capabilities of linear arrays. The manifold of a planar array is introduced in terms of two families of constant-azimuth and constant-elevation curves, and their differential geometry is analysed as a function of array configuration. Circular approximation is subsequently employed to derive novel expressions for the Cramer–Rao lower bound on azimuth and elevation estimates in terms of the arc lengths and first curvatures of the respective constant-parameter manifold curves. The scenarios considered include the cases of a single emitter as well as that of two closely spaced uncorrelated emitters of arbitrary powers. The results obtained are demonstrated for the cases of two practical array configurations.

This paper proposes a Robust Fuzzy Multivariable Model Predictive Controller (RFMMPC) using Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) formulation. The main idea is to solve at each time instant, an LMI optimization problem that incorporates input, output and Constrained Receding Horizon Predictive Control (CRHPC) constraints, and plant uncertainties, and guarantees certain robustness properties. The RFMMPC is easily designed by solving a convex optimization problem subject to LMI conditions. Then, the derived RFMMPC applied to a variable wind turbine with blade pitch and generator torque as two control inputs. The effectiveness of the proposed design is shown by simulation results.
This paper considers the problem of robust stabilization and disturbance attenuation for a class of uncertain singularly perturbed systems with norm-bounded nonlinear uncertainties. It is shown that the state feedback gain matrices can be determined to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system for all ε ϵ(0,∞). Based on this key result and some standard Riccati inequality approaches for robust control of singularly perturbed systems, a constructive design procedure is developed. For simplicity, the results are presented on the two-time-scale case; the extension of the results to multiple-time-scale is, however, straightforward.
Adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems is proposed in this paper. The unknown system dynamics and upper bounds of the minimum approximation errors are adaptively updated with stabilizing adaptive laws. The closed-loop system driven by the proposed controllers is shown to be stable with all the adaptation parameters being bounded. The performance and stability of the proposed control system are achieved analytically using the Lyapunov stability theory. Simulations show that the proposed controller performs well and exhibits good performance.
The quadratic knapsack problem is an NP-hard optimization problem with many diverse applications in industrial and management engineering. However, computational complexities still remain in the quadratic knapsack problem. In this study, a logarithmic descent direction algorithm is proposed to approximate a solution to the quadratic knapsack problem. The proposed algorithm is based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker necessary optimality condition and the damped Newton method. The convergence of the algorithm is proven, and the numerical results indicate its effectiveness.
This paper deals with the problem of robust model predictive control (RMPC) for a class of linear time-varying systems with constraints and data losses. We take the polytopic uncertainties into account to describe the uncertain systems. First, we design a robust state observer by using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints so that the original system state can be tracked. Second, the MPC gain is calculated by minimizing the upper bound of infinite horizon robust performance objective in terms of linear matrix inequality conditions. The method of robust MPC and state observer design is illustrated by a numerical example.

Using Haar wavelets, a computational method is presented to determine the piecewise constant feedback controls for a finite-time linear optimal control problem of a time-varying state-delayed system. The method is simple and computationally advantageous. The approximated optimal trajectory and optimal control are calculated using Haar wavelet integral operational matrix, Haar wavelet product operational matrix and Haar wavelet delay operational matrix. An illustrative example is included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique
