Comments on “Finite-Time $H_{\infty }$ Fuzzy Control of Nonlinear Jump Systems With Time Delays Via Dynamic Observer-Based State Feedback”
2014
This paper investigates a defect appearing in “Finite-time H∞ fuzzy control of nonlinear jump systems with time delays via dynamic observer-based state feedback,” which the observer-based finite-time H∞ controller via dynamic observer-based state feedback could not ensuring stochastic finite-time boundedness, and satisfying a prescribed level of H∞ disturbance attenuation for the resulting closed-loop error fuzzy Markov jump systems. The corrected results are presented, and the improved optimal algorithms and new simulation results are also provided in this paper.
H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> synchronization of Markovian jump master-slave systems with delay
2012
The problem of synchronization is investigated for a class of master-slave systems with time-varying delays and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, a synchronization law which includes the master-slave parameters is established for designing a mode-dependent output feedback control law in terms of LMIs. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the method.
An Output Feedback Control Design for $$ {\rm H}_\infty $$ Synchronization of Master-Slave Markovian Jump Systems with Time-Varying Delays
2012
In this chapter, an output feedback control proach is proposed for exponential synchronization problem of master slave systems with both discrete and distributed time-varying delays and Markovian switching parameters. Using an appropriate Lyapunov Krasovskii functional, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions and a synchronization law which include the master slave parameters are established for designing a mode-dependent output feedback control law in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The controller guarantees the \( {\rm{H}}_\infty \) synchronization of the two coupled master and slave systems regardless of their initial states. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness…
Observational signatures of Higgs inflation
2016
We investigate the dependency of Higgs inflation on the non-renormalisable matching between the low energy Standard Model limit and the inflationary regime at high energies. We show that for the top mass range $m_t \gtrsim 171.8$ GeV the scenario robustly predicts the spectral index $n_s \simeq 0.97$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r\simeq 0.003$. The matching is however non-trivial, even the best-fit values $m_h=125.09$ GeV and $m_t=173.21$ GeV require a jump $\delta \lambda \sim 0.01$ in the Higgs coupling below the inflationary scale. For $m_t\lesssim 171.8$ GeV, the matching may generate a feature in the inflationary potential. In this case the predicted values of $n_s$ and $r$ vary but…
Muscle training for bone strength
2006
The main function of bone is to provide the mechanical integrity for locomotion and protection; accordingly, bone mass and architecture are adjusted to control the strains produced by mechanical load and muscular activity. Age-related patterns involve peak bone mass during growth, a plateau in adulthood, and bone loss during aging. The decline in bone mass and structural integrity results in increased risk of fractures, particularly in post-menopausal women. Athletes competing in strength and power events, such as weight-lifting and jumping, have superior bone mass and structure compared with their untrained counterparts in all age groups. Exercise seems to be most effective during rapid gr…
Evolution of dielectric permittivity under applied field in PLZT 8.3/70/30 ceramics
2000
Abstract The jump of dielectric permittivity as function of bias field applied after various duration of storage at the measurement temperature is investigated. The influence of storage time on ϵ(E=) depends on the value of bias field and frequency of measuring field. It is found that ϵ(E=) depends on the path of how particular field value is reached.
Canard Cycles with Three Breaking Mechanisms
2016
This article deals with relaxation oscillations from a generic balanced canard cycle \(\Gamma\) subject to three breaking parameters of Hopf or jump type. We prove that in a rescaled layer of \(\Gamma\) there bifurcate at most five relaxation oscillations.
Unmixing of binary alloys by a vacancy mechanism of diffusion: a computer simulation
1991
The initial stages of phase separation are studied for a model binary alloy (AB) with pairwise interactions e AA , e AB , e BB between nearest neighbors, assuming that there is no direct interchange of neighboring atoms possible, but only an indirect one mediated by vacancies (V) occurring in the system at a concentrationc v and which are strictly conserved, as are the concentrationsc A andc B of the two species.A-atoms may jump to vacant sites with jump rateГ A , B-atoms with jump rateГ B (in the absence of interactions). Particular attention is paid to the question to what extent nonuniform distribution of vacancies affects the unmixing kinetics. Our study focuses on the special caseГ A =…
Aging effects manifested in the potential-energy landscape of a model glass former
2010
We present molecular dynamics simulations of a model glass-forming liquid (the binary Kob-Anderson Lennard-Jones model) and consider the distributions of inherent energies and metabasins during aging. In addition to the typical protocol of performing a temperature jump from a high temperature to a low destination temperature, we consider the temporal evolution of the distributions after an 'up-jump', i.e. from a low to a high temperature. In this case the distribution of megabasin energies exhibits a transient two-peak structure. Our results can qualitatively be rationalized in terms of a trap model with a Gaussian distribution of trap energies. The analysis is performed for different syste…
Anomalous critical slowdown at a first order phase transition in single polymer chains
2017
Using Brownian Dynamics, we study the dynamical behavior of a polymer grafted onto an adhesive surface close to the mechanically induced adsorption-stretching transition. Even though the transition is first order, (in the infinite chain length limit, the stretching degree of the chain jumps discontinuously), the characteristic relaxation time is found to grow according to a power law as the transition point is approached. We present a dynamic effective interface model which reproduces these observations and provides an excellent quantitaive description of the simulations data. The generic nature of the theoretical model suggests that the unconventional mixing of features that are characteri…
