Control of Power Converters with Hybrid Affine Models and Pulse-Width Modulated Inputs
2021
In this paper, hybrid dynamical systems theory is applied to the analysis and control of switched converters with Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) inputs. The system is described by a state-space model with continuous flows and discrete jumps, without averaged equations. The modulation effects are captured in full without using time-dependent signals, by enlarging the state vector to include the PWM waveform generation process. Furthermore, the sample-and-hold mechanism associated with the sampling frequency is also taken into account with this approach. A control law is proposed based on a Lyapunov function candidate. Furthermore, convergence sets and the steady state jitter, inherent to PWM-ba…
Stochastic Nonlinear Time Series Forecasting Using Time-Delay Reservoir Computers: Performance and Universality
2014
International audience; Reservoir computing is a recently introduced machine learning paradigm that has already shown excellent performances in the processing of empirical data. We study a particular kind of reservoir computers called time-delay reservoirs that are constructed out of the sampling of the solution of a time-delay diFFerential equation and show their good performance in the forecasting of the conditional covariances associated to multivariate discrete-time nonlinear stochastic processes of VEC-GARCH type as well as in the prediction of factual daily market realized volatilities computed with intraday quotes, using as training input daily log-return series of moderate size. We …
Steering dynamical systems with finite plans and limited path length
2007
Complex dynamical systems can be steered by using symbolic input plans. These plans must have a finite descriptive length, and can be expressed by means of words chosen in an alphabet of symbols. In this way, such plans can be sent through a limited capacity channel to a remote system, where they are decoded in suitable control actions. The choice of this symbols is essential to efficiently encode steering plans. To this aim, in this paper, we state the problem of finding symbols maximizing the interval of points reachable by the system along paths with constrained length. We focus on the problem with two symbols, and compare the results with those produced by plans not accounting for the l…
Anisotropy and symmetry for elastic properties of laminates reinforced by balanced fabrics
2001
In this article, we present a theoretical study on elastic properties of laminates composed by balanced fabric layers. Using the polar representation method for plane elastic tensors, we first describe some properties of symmetry of a general laminate composed by balanced fabrics and we write the formulas expressing positions of its axes of symmetry. Then, limiting our study to laminates composed of identical plies, we solve two problems of symmetry of the laminate elastic tensors: uncoupling and quasi-homogeneity. We found all the solutions of the uncoupling problem for the case of 3-, 4- and 5-ply laminate and all those of the quasi-homogeneity problem for the case of 4-, 5- and 6-ply lam…
Algebraicity of analytic maps to a hyperbolic variety
2018
Let $X$ be an algebraic variety over $\mathbb{C}$. We say that $X$ is Borel hyperbolic if, for every finite type reduced scheme $S$ over $\mathbb{C}$, every holomorphic map $S^{an}\to X^{an}$ is algebraic. We use a transcendental specialization technique to prove that $X$ is Borel hyperbolic if and only if, for every smooth affine curve $C$ over $\mathbb{C}$, every holomorphic map $C^{an}\to X^{an}$ is algebraic. We use the latter result to prove that Borel hyperbolicity shares many common features with other notions of hyperbolicity such as Kobayashi hyperbolicity.
Algebras of frequently hypercyclic vectors
2019
We show that the multiples of the backward shift operator on the spaces $\ell_{p}$, $1\leq p<\infty$, or $c_{0}$, when endowed with coordinatewise multiplication, do not possess frequently hypercyclic algebras. More generally, we characterize the existence of algebras of $\mathcal{A}$-hypercyclic vectors for these operators. We also show that the differentiation operator on the space of entire functions, when endowed with the Hadamard product, does not possess frequently hypercyclic algebras. On the other hand, we show that for any frequently hypercyclic operator $T$ on any Banach space, $FHC(T)$ is algebrable for a suitable product, and in some cases it is even strongly algebrable.
Universality in Fragmentation
1999
Fragmentation of a two-dimensional brittle solid by impact and ``explosion,'' and a fluid by ``explosion'' are all shown to become critical. The critical points appear at a nonzero impact velocity, and at infinite explosion duration, respectively. Within the critical regimes, the fragment-size distributions satisfy a scaling form qualitatively similar to that of the cluster-size distribution of percolation, but they belong to another universality class. Energy balance arguments give a correlation length exponent that is exactly one-half of its percolation value. A single crack dominates fragmentation in the slow-fracture limit, as expected.
Attractors for non-autonomous retarded lattice dynamical systems
2015
AbstractIn this paperwe study a non-autonomous lattice dynamical system with delay. Under rather general growth and dissipative conditions on the nonlinear term,we define a non-autonomous dynamical system and prove the existence of a pullback attractor for such system as well. Both multivalued and single-valued cases are considered.
Small $C^1$ actions of semidirect products on compact manifolds
2020
Let $T$ be a compact fibered $3$--manifold, presented as a mapping torus of a compact, orientable surface $S$ with monodromy $\psi$, and let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. Our main result is that if the induced action $\psi^*$ on $H^1(S,\mathbb{R})$ has no eigenvalues on the unit circle, then there exists a neighborhood $\mathcal U$ of the trivial action in the space of $C^1$ actions of $\pi_1(T)$ on $M$ such that any action in $\mathcal{U}$ is abelian. We will prove that the same result holds in the generality of an infinite cyclic extension of an arbitrary finitely generated group $H$, provided that the conjugation action of the cyclic group on $H^1(H,\mathbb{R})\neq 0$ has no eige…
Conjugate unstable manifolds and their underlying geometrized Markov partitions
2000
Abstract Conjugate unstable manifolds of saturated hyperbolic sets of Smale diffeomorphisms are characterized in terms of the combinatorics of their geometrized Markov partitions. As a consequence, the relationship between the local and the global point of view is also made explicit.
