The Complex WKB Method
2019
In this chapter we shall study the exponential growth and asymptotic expansions of exact solutions of second-order differential equations in the semi-classical limit. As an application, we establish a Bohr-Sommerfeld quantization condition for Schrodinger operators with real-analytic complex-valued potentials.
Robust H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> control of Markovian jump systems with mixed time delays
2010
In this paper, the problem of stability analysis and control synthesis for Markovian jump linear systems with time delays and norm-bounded uncertainties is studied. The model under consideration consists of different time-invariant discrete, neutral and distributed delays. Delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the design of a mode-dependent delayed state feedback H ∞ control are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A controller which guarantees stochastic stability and a prescribed level of H ∞ performance for the closed-loop system is then developed. A Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) method underlies the control design. A numerical example with simulation results i…
The Radon-Wigner Transform and Its Application to First-order Optical Systems
2009
The Radon-Wigner transform is presented as a tool for the description of 1st-order optical systems. The input/output relationships for this phase-space representation are obtained and their application in analysis and design tasks is pointed out.
Non-Stationary Probabilistic Response of Linear Systems Under Non-Gaussian Input
1991
The probabilistic characterization of the response of linear systems subjected to non-normal input requires the evaluation of higher order moments than two. In order to obtain the equations governing these moments, in this paper the extension of the Ito’s differential rule for linear systems excited by non-normal delta correlated processes is presented. As an application the case of the delta correlated compound Poisson input process is treated.
Surface Nanophysics: Macro-, Meso-, Micro- and Nano-approaches
2017
The surface factor is very important for manipulating objects at a nanoscale. Thermodynamic behaviour is observed from the classical point of view, and conditional division into macro-, meso-, micro- and nano-approaches is presented. Processes of physical and chemical adsorption on the surface are presented from the energy and structure aspects. The occurrence of electronic states of the surface is presented from the classical point of view in comparison with molecular electronic states. One of the most important non-invasive optical methods to investigate nanoparticles is the surface plasmon resonance (SPR), which is quite useful for practical detection of nanoparticles in the surrounding …
Sensitivity analysis of Gaussian processes for oceanic chlorophyll prediction
2015
Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) for machine learning has lately been successfully introduced for chlorophyll content mapping from remotely sensed data. The method provides a fast, stable and accurate prediction of biophysical parameters. However, since GPR is a non-linear kernel regression method, the relevance of the features are not accessible. In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic approach for feature sensitivity analysis (SA) of the GPR in order to reveal the relative importance of the features (bands) being used in the regression process. We evaluated the SA on GPR ocean chlorophyll content prediction. The method revealed the importance of the spectral bands, thus allowing the …
Representation of Stationary Multivariate Gaussian Processes Fractional Differential Approach
2011
In this paper, the fractional spectral moments method (H-FSM) is used to generate stationary Gaussian multivariate processes with assigned power spectral density matrix. To this aim, firstly the N-variate process is expressed as sum of N fully coherent normal random vectors, and then, the representation in terms of HFSM is used.
An Improved Method for Estimating the Time ACF of a Sum of Complex Plane Waves
2010
Time averaging is a well-known technique for evaluating the temporal autocorrelation function (ACF) from a sample function of a stochastic process. For stochastic processes that can be modelled as a sum of plane waves, it is shown that the ACF obtained by time averaging can be expressed as a sum of auto-terms (ATs) and cross-terms (CTs). The ATs result from the autocorrelation of the individual plane waves, while the CTs are due to the cross-correlation between different plane wave components. The CTs cause an estimation error of the ACF. This estimation error increases as the observation time decreases. For the practically important case that the observation time interval is limited, we pr…
Predictive control of networked systems with communication delays
2012
This paper studies the problem of predictive output feedback control for networked control systems with random communication delays. A networked predictive control scheme is employed to compensate for random communication delays, which mainly consists of the control prediction generator and network delay compensator. Furthermore, a new strategy of designing the time-varying predictive controller with mixed random delays for networked systems is proposed. Then the system can be formulated as a Markovian jump system. New techniques are presented to deal with the distributed delay in the discrete-time domain. Based on analysis of closed-loop networked predictive control systems, the designed p…
Sliding mode exponential H<inf>&#x221E;</inf> synchronization of Markovian jumping master-slave systems with time-delays and nonlinea…
2011
This paper investigates the problem of exponential H ∞ synchronization for a class of master-slave systems with both discrete and distributed time-delays, norm-bounded nonlinear uncertainties 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 delay-dependent mode-dependent sliding mode exponential H ∞ synchronization control law in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The controller guarantees the H ∞ synchronization of the two coupled master and slave systems regardless of their initial states. A numerical examp…
