Further results on H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> control of switched linear time-delay systems
2012
In this note, we study the problems of stability analysis and H ∞ controller synthesis of discrete-time switched systems with time-varying delay. The system under consideration is firstly transformed into an interconnection system. Based on the system transformation and the scaled small gain theorem, the asymptotic stability of the original system is examined via the version of the bounded realness of the transformed forward system. The aim of the proposed approach is to reduce conservatism, which is made possible by a precise approximation of the time-varying delay and the input-output approach. The proposed stability condition is demonstrated to be much less conservative than most existin…
Fuzzy filter design for discrete-time delayed systems with distributed probabilistic sensor faults
2013
In this paper, the problem of distributed fuzzy filter design has been solved for T-S fuzzy systems with time-varying delays and multiple probabilistic packet losses. Our attention is paid to designing the distributed fuzzy filters to guarantee the filtering error dynamic system to be mean-square asymptotically stable with an average ℋ∞ performance. Sufficient conditions for the obtained filtering error dynamic system are proposed by applying a comparison model and the scaled small gain theorem. Based on the measurements and estimates of the system states for each sensor and its neighbors, the solution of the parameters of the distributed fuzzy filters is characterized in terms of the feasi…
Isotropic stochastic flow of homeomorphisms on Sd for the critical Sobolev exponent
2006
Abstract In this work, we shall deal with the critical Sobolev isotropic Brownian flows on the sphere S d . Based on previous works by O. Raimond and LeJan and Raimond (see [O. Raimond, Ann. Inst. H. Poincare 35 (1999) 313–354] and [Y. LeJan, O. Raimond, Ann. of Prob. 30 (2002) 826–873], we prove that the associated flows are flows of homeomorphisms.
SIOPRED performance in a Forecasting Blind Competition
2012
In this paper we present the results obtained by applying our automatic forecasting support system, named SIOPRED, over a data set of time series in a Forecasting Blind Competition. In order to apply our procedure for providing point forecasts it has been necessary to develop an interactive strategy for the choice of the suitable length of the seasonal cycle and the seasonality form for a generalized exponential smoothing method, which have been obtained using SIOPRED. For the choice of those essential characteristics of forecasting methods, also a certain multi-objective formulation which minimizes several measures of fitting is used. Once these specifications are established, the model pa…
A laboratory analysis of falling head infiltration procedures for estimating the hydraulic conductivity of soils
2006
Abstract Falling head (FH) infiltration procedures can give rapid estimates of the field saturated hydraulic conductivity ( K fs ) of soils. The objectives of this investigation were to develop a procedure for estimating both the K fs and the α ⁎ parameter of the exponential hydraulic conductivity function from a FH experiment, and to compare FH procedures differing by experimental and computational demands. A total of 33 FH experiments were carried out on repacked, sandy loam and loam soil cores. A two level (TL) analysis was applied to determine a value of α ⁎ for each soil core. K fs was then calculated by three different approaches, ranging from the fitting approach (FA) that used the m…
Numerical study of soliton stability, resolution and interactions in the 3D Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation
2021
International audience; We present a detailed numerical study of solutions to the Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation in three spatial dimensions. The equation is a three-dimensional generalization of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, though, not completely integrable. This equation is L-2-subcritical, and thus, solutions exist globally, for example, in the H-1 energy space.We first study stability of solitons with various perturbations in sizes and symmetry, and show asymptotic stability and formation of radiation, confirming the asymptotic stability result in Farah et al. (0000) for a larger class of initial data. We then investigate the solution behavior for different localizations and rates of de…
Visualization of Parameter Sensitivity of 2D Time-Dependent Flow
2018
In this paper, we present an approach to analyze 1D parameter spaces of time-dependent flow simulation ensembles. By extending the concept of the finite-time Lyapunov exponent to the ensemble domain, i.e., to the parameter that gives rise to the ensemble, we obtain a tool for quantitative analysis of parameter sensitivity both in space and time. We exemplify our approach using 2D synthetic examples and computational fluid dynamics ensembles.
New stage-discharge relationship for inclined non-rectangular weirs
2018
Abstract In this paper, the outflow process of inclined non-rectangular weirs is studied applying the dimensional analysis and the incomplete self-similarity theory. At first, a new stage-discharge equation, applicable for the non-rectangular weirs having a different geometrical shape (parabolic, semicircular, inverted semicircular), is theoretically deduced using a characteristic width. Then, this power stage-discharge relationship (Eq. (17) ) is calibrated and tested using measurements carried out by Raiknar for parabolic, semicircular and inverted semicircular weirs having different inclination respect to the vertical (10°, 20°, 30°, 40° and 45°). For each geometrical shape, the analysis…
Nature of crossover from classical to Ising-like critical behavior
1998
We present an accurate numerical determination of the crossover from classical to Ising-like critical behavior upon approach of the critical point in three-dimensional systems. The possibility to vary the Ginzburg number in our simulations allows us to cover the entire crossover region. We employ these results to scrutinize several semi-phenomenological crossover scaling functions that are widely used for the analysis of experimental results. In addition we present strong evidence that the exponent relations do not hold between effective exponents.
Nonlinear response functions in an exponential trap model
2014
The nonlinear response to an oscillating field is calculated for a kinetic trap model with an exponential density of states and the results are compared to those for the model with a Gaussian density of states. The calculations are limited to the high temperature phase of the model. It is found that the results are qualitatively different only in a temperature range near the glass transition temperature $T_0$ of the exponential model. While for the Gaussian model the choice of the dynamical variable that couples to the field has no impact on the shape of the linear response, this is different for the exponential model. Here, it is found that also the relaxation time strongly depends on the …
