Adaptive H ∞ synchronization of master-slave systems with mixed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations: An LMI approach
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Automation and Computing. Also available from the publisher on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11633-011-0595-z This paper proposes an adaptive synchronization problem for the master and slave structure of linear systems with nonlinear perturbations and mixed time-varying delays comprising different discrete and distributed time delays. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions and an adaptation law including the master-slave parameters are established for designing a delayed synchronization law in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The time-varying…
Robust Observer Design for Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Systems with Mixed Neutral and Discrete Delays and Unknown Inputs
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/635709 A robust observer design is proposed for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy neutral models with unknown inputs. The model consists of a mixed neutral and discrete delay, and the disturbances are imposed on both state and output signals. Delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the design of an unknown input T-S observer with time delays are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Some relaxations are introduced by using intermediate variables. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the given results.

Fuzzy reliable tracking control for flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicles
2011
Published version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Fuzzy Systems. Also available from the publisher: http://www.ijfs.org.tw/ In this paper, we present a fuzzy reliable tracking control design method for flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicles (FAHVs) subject to disturbances and possible sensor/actuator failures. This problem is challenging due to the strong coupling effects, variable operating conditions and possible failures in FAHVs. First, Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model isused to represent the longitudinal dynamics model of FAHVs. Then, by considering the disturbances and the faults, the fuzzy reliable tracking problem is proposed, and the tracking control probl…
Networking logistic neurons can yield chaotic and pattern recognition properties
2011
Accepted version of an article the book: 2011 IEEE International Conference on Computational Intelligence for Measurement Systems and Applications (CIMSA) Proceedings. Published version available from IEEE: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/CIMSA.2011.6059914 Over the last few years, the field of Chaotic Neural Networks (CNNs) has been extensively studied because of their potential applications in the understanding/recognition of patterns and images, their associative memory properties, their relationship to complex dynamic system control, and their capabilities in the modeling and analysis of other measurement systems. However, the results concerning CNNs which can demonstrate chaos, quasi-chaos, …
A two-armed bandit based scheme for accelerated decentralized learning
2011
Published version of a chapter from the book: Modern Approaches in Applied Intelligence. Also available at SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21827-9_54 The two-armed bandit problem is a classical optimization problem where a decision maker sequentially pulls one of two arms attached to a gambling machine, with each pull resulting in a random reward. The reward distributions are unknown, and thus, one must balance between exploiting existing knowledge about the arms, and obtaining new information. Bandit problems are particularly fascinating because a large class of real world problems, including routing, QoS control, game playing, and resource allocation, can be solved in a …
Broadband wireless communication systems: Channel modeling and system performance analysis
2011
Ph.D. Thesis The University of Agder, Faculty of Engineering and Science Wideband channel modeling, which can accurately describe the most important characteristics of wideband mobile fading channels, is essential for the design, evaluation, and optimization of broadband wireless communication systems. In the field of wideband channel modeling, the tradeoff between the prediction accuracy and simulation efficiency has to be taken into account. On one hand, channel models should be as accurate as possible. On the other hand, channel models are supposed to be simple and easy to put into use. There are several commonly used approaches to channel modeling, e.g., measurement-based channel modeli…
H∞ filter design for a class of nonlinear neutral systems with time-varying delays
2009
Accepted version of an article from the journal: Nonlinear Dynamics and Systems Theory. Also available from the publisher: http://www.e-ndst.kiev.ua/v9n3.htm In this note, the problem of H∞ filtering for a class of nonlinear neutral systems with delayed states and outputs is investigated. By introducing a descriptor technique, using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and a suitable change of variables, new required sufficient conditions are established in terms of delay-dependent linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) for the existence of the desired H∞ filters. The explicit expression of the filters is derived to satisfy both asymptotic stability and a prescribed level of disturbance attenuation fo…
Robust H∞ dynamic output feedback control synthesis with pole placement constraints for offshore wind turbine systems
2012
Published version of an article from the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/616507 The problem of robust ∞ dynamic output feedback control design with pole placement constraints is studied for a linear parameter-varying model of a floating wind turbine. A nonlinear model is obtained and linearized using the FAST software developed for wind turbines. The main contributions of this paper are threefold. Firstly, a family of linear models are represented based on an affine parameter-varying model structure for a wind turbine system. Secondly, the bounded parameter-varying parameters are removed using upper bounded ineq…
H∞ control of Markovian switching systems with time-delays: Applied to DC-DC converters
2011
Author's version of a chapter in the book: 37th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society - IECON 2011. Also available from the publisher at: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6119884 The DC-DC switching power converters are highly nonlinear systems. Consequently, the conventional linear controls based on averaging and linearization techniques will result in poor dynamic performance or system instability. In order to resolve this problem, in this paper a robust state feedback H∞ control is proposed for these systems under Markovian switching with mixed discrete, neutral and distributed delays. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory, some …
