Optimal control of HIV infection with a continuously-mutating viral population Tập 5 - Trang 4033-4038 vol.5 - 2002
J.J. Kutch, P. Gurfil
There has been much discussion in recent years devoted to determining the optimal methodology for administering anti-viral medication therapies to fight HIV infection. There are many reasons to seek such an optimal therapy, including the minimization of drug toxicity and monetary cost. However, there is increasing recognition that exposure to many anti-HIV medications produces extremely rapid chan...... hiện toàn bộ

Transition control using multiple adaptive models and an H-infinity controller design Tập 4 - Trang 2621-2626 vol.4 - 2002
Z. Tian, K.A. Hoo
By transition control, it is meant a type of control method that is employed when the plant transitions from one operating state to another as a result of a set point change. This work proposes and develops an intelligent adaptive multiple model approach that simultaneously adapts the model and an H/sub /spl infin// controller parameters. The method is demonstrated on a non-linear chemical reactor...... hiện toàn bộ

Development of a closed-loop testing method for a next-generation terminal area automation system Tập 2 - Trang 1325-1330 vol.2 - 2002
J.E. Robinson, D.R. Isaacson
A next-generation air traffic decision support tool, known as the active final approach spacing tool (aFAST), will generate heading, speed and altitude commands to achieve more precise separation of aircraft in the terminal area. The techniques used to analyze the performance of earlier generation decision support tools are not adequate to analyze the performance of aFAST. The paper summarizes the...... hiện toàn bộ

Disturbance rejection for nonlinear systems Tập 5 - Trang 3484-3489 vol.5 - 2002
Zongxuan Sun, Tsu-Chin Tsao
Tracking or rejection of unknown exogenous signals with known generating dynamics is of major concern in feedback control design. Linear feedback control based on the internal model principle achieves asymptotic performance for linear systems with linear exogenous signal dynamics. This paper presents a control design based on the internal model principle to track or reject nonlinear exogenous sign...... hiện toàn bộ

Direct RBF neural network control of a class of discrete-time non-affine nonlinear systems Tập 1 - Trang 424-429 vol.1
J. Zhang, S.S. Ge, T.H. Lee
Direct adaptive RBF NN control is presented for a class of discrete-time single-input single-output non-affine nonlinear systems. An implicit function theorem is used to prove the existence and uniqueness of the implicit desired feedback control. Based on the input-output model, RBF neural networks are used to emulate the implicit desired feedback control. The closed-loop is proven to be semi-glob...... hiện toàn bộ

H/sub /spl infin// controller design for discrete-time fuzzy systems using fuzzy weighting-dependent Lyapunov functions Tập 4 - Trang 3252-3257 vol.4 - 2002
Doo Jin Choi, PooGyeon Park
For discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy systems, we propose an H/sub /spl infin// state-feedback fuzzy controller associated with a fuzzy weighting-dependent Lyapunov function. In terms of parameterized linear matrix inequalities (PLMIs), the controller employs not only the current-time but also one-step-past information on the time-varying fuzzy weighting functions. Appropriately selecting the...... hiện toàn bộ

Ballistic flip of a planar one-legged robot in simulation Tập 3 - Trang 2505-2509 vol.3 - 2002
Tao Geng, Xiaomen Li, Gang Shen, Xiaoming Xu
The typical locomotive gaits of previous one-legged robots are imitations of some animal's motions (e.g., a kangaroo's hop). As a result of million years of evolution, animals' motion forms may be optimal for their particular flexible structures. However, their motion manners may be not the best option in the case of man-made mechanical structures mainly composed of rigid hardware. Therefore, from...... hiện toàn bộ

A local second- and third-order maximum principle Tập 4 - Trang 3141-3146 vol.4 - 2002
C.J. Sussmann
We present an abstract necessary condition for set separation, a necessary condition for a minimum in an abstract setting. The optimal control results are presented. We also present an example showing that our results apply in cases where previous results do not. For lack of space, we omit the proofs, we limit our discussion to problems with fixed endpoints, and we only consider the second and thi...... hiện toàn bộ

Proper orthogonal decomposition based feedback optimal control synthesis of distributed parameter systems using neural networks Tập 6 - Trang 4389-4394 vol.6 - 2002
R. Padhi, S.N. Balakrishnan
A new method for optimal control design of distributed parameter systems is presented in this paper. The concept of proper orthogonal decomposition is used for the model reduction of distributed parameter systems to form a reduced order lumped parameter problem. The optimal control problem is then solved in the time domain, in a state feedback sense, following the philosophy of 'adaptive critic' n...... hiện toàn bộ

Nonlinear model predictive tracking control for rotorcraft-based unmanned aerial vehicles Tập 5 - Trang 3576-3581 vol.5 - 2002
H.J. Kim, D.H. Shim, S. Sastry
We investigate the feasibility of a nonlinear model predictive tracking control (NMPTC) for autonomous helicopters. We formulate a NMPTC algorithm for planning paths under input and state constraints and tracking the generated position and heading trajectories, and implement an on-line optimization controller using a gradient-descent method. The proposed NMPTC algorithm demonstrates superior track...... hiện toàn bộ
