Optimal Flight Path Determination in Turbulent Air: A Modified EKF Approach
2017
By using the Extended Kalman Filter an accurate path following in turbulent air is performed. The procedure employs simultaneously two different EKFs: the first one estimates disturbances, the second one affords to determine the necessary controls displacements for rejecting those ones. To tune the EKFs an optimization algorithm has been designed to automatically determine Process Noise Covariance and Measurement Noise Covariance matrices. The first filter, by using instrumental measurements gathered in turbulent air, estimates wind components. The second one obtains command laws able to follow the desired flight path. To perform this task aerodynamic coefficients have been modified. Such a…
Subband image coding using filter banks with non-uniform passband distribution
2002
Subband filter banks with non-uniform passband distribution in frequency domain are studied. Several design examples are presented and compared with conventional uniform bandwidth filter banks. Image coding results show that filter banks with non-uniform bandwidth outperform filter banks with uniform bandwidth, especially in low bit rate coding.
Full- and reduced-order filter design for discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems with time-varying delay
2012
This paper is focused on the problem of ℋ ∞ filtering for a class of discrete-time T-S fuzzy time-varying delay systems. Our interest is how to design full- and reduced-order filters that guarantee the filtering error system to be asymptotically stable with a prescribed ℋ ∞ performance. Sufficient conditions for the obtained filtering error system are proposed by applying an input-output approach and a two-term approximation method, which is employed to approximate the time-varying delay. The corresponding full and reduced-order filter design is cast into a convex optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved by standard numerical algorithms.
Robust fault detection filter design for a class of linear systems with mixed time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations
2009
In this note, the problem of robust fault detection filter (RFDF) design for a class of linear systems subjected to some nonlinear perturbations and mixed neutral and discrete time-varying delays is investigated based on an H ∞ performance condition. 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) to synthesize the residual generation scheme. Based on Luenberger type observers, the explicit expression of the filters is derived for the fault such that both asymptotic stability and a prescribed level of disturbance att…
Robust H;<inf>&#x221E;</inf> filtering for 2-D FM systems: A finite frequency approach
2012
This paper investigates the problem of robust H; ∞ filtering for uncertain two-dimensional (2-D) discrete systems in the Fornasini-Marchesini local state-space (FM LSS) model with polytopic uncertain parameters. The goal of the paper is to design filters such that the finite frequency (FF) H; ∞ norm of the filtering error system has a specified upper bound for all uncertainties. A generalized bounded real lemma (BRL) is first derived for FF H; ∞ performance analysis of nominal 2-D FM LSS systems, and then a method, in terms of solving optimization problems with LMI constraints, is presented for robust FF H; ∞ filter analysis and design. An illustrative example is given to show the improveme…
Filtering with dissipativity for T-S fuzzy systems with time-varying delay: Reciprocally convex approach
2013
This paper is focused on the problem of reliable filter design with strictly dissipativity for a class of discrete-time T-S fuzzy time-delay systems. Our attention is paid on the design of reliable filter to ensure a strictly dissipative performance for the filtering error system. By employing the reciprocally convex approach, a sufficient condition of dissipativity analysis is obtained for T-S fuzzy delayed systems with sensor failures. A desired reliable filter is designed by solving a convex optimization problem.
Semiactive–passive structural vibration control strategy for adjacent structures under seismic excitation
2012
Abstract The objective of this paper is to study a structural vibration control strategy for seismic protection of multi-structure systems that combines interstructure passive damping elements with local feedback control systems implemented in the substructures. These local feedback control systems are independently designed and operated, and use semiactive devices with limited actuation capacity as force actuators. The combined action of local semiactive feedback control systems and passive interstructure links can produce an appropriate reduction in the substructures' vibrational response and, simultaneously, provides additional protection against interstructure collisions. The proposed s…
Unidirectional probabilistic direct control for deferrable loads
2014
International audience; The idea of harnessing the inherent flexibility in demand of many types of electric loads has been largely discussed in the last years for coping with the need to maintain the energy demand-supply balance. In particular, the fine tuning of the operation conditions of different thermostatic loads (such as air-conditioning, refrigerators, etc.) has appeared as the most natural solution for load control with minimal user discomfort. In this paper we focus on an alternative approach: deploying simple open-loop control strategies for deferrable loads with minimal communication overhead. The idea is to send a multicast control message to a group of users, on the basis of t…
Improving scalability of web applications based on stability of the network with the use of controller PI
2015
This paper presents mathematical model of a computer network and then the model has been presented in the form of a flow chart. RED algorithm is a standard in computer network. RED algorithm has been replaced with the PI controller. In the article it has been assumed that a computer network is a particular dynamic system and it can be examined using known methods of the theory of dynamic systems. We tested of stability for the real computer networks. This method is called method the uncertain parameters space.
Optimization of Long-Run Average-Flow Cost in Networks With Time-Varying Unknown Demand
2010
We consider continuous-time robust network flows with capacity constraints and unknown but bounded time-varying demand. The problem of interest is to design a control strategy off-line with no knowledge of the demand realization. Such a control strategy regulates the flow on-line as a function of the realized demand. We address both the case of systems without and with buffers. The main novelty in this work is that we consider a convex cost which is a function of the long-run average-flow and average-demand. We distinguish a worst-case scenario where the demand is the worst-one from a deterministic scenario where the demand has a neutral behavior. The resulting strategies are called min-max…
