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

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

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

Inner approximations of domains of attraction for constrained continuous time linear systems Tập 2 - Trang 1216-1221 vol.2 - 2002
E. De Santis, M.D. Di Benedeto, G. Pola
When asymptotically stabilizing a system under constraints, the objective is to
find the maximal domain of attraction contained in the constraint set. In this
paper, we show that if S is a domain of attraction for the exponential
discretization of a continous-time system, S scaled by an appropriately defined
factor is a domain of attraction for the continuous-time system and arbitrarily
well appro... hiện toàn bộ

Robustness to communication failures within formation flight Tập 4 - Trang 2860-2866 vol.4 - 2002
L. Pollini, F. Giulietti, M. Innocenti
Concerns formation flight of unmanned air vehicles. Presents the evolution and
finite state machine implementation of a deterministic approach to the problem
of management of communication faults and aircraft loss inside a formation in
autonomous flight. The aircraft formation is represented as an oriented graph
and then a procedure, based on the shortest path theory, provides the optimal
solution... hiện toàn bộ

Enhanced NDI strategies for reconfigurable flight control Tập 5 - Trang 3631-3636 vol.5 - 2002
A.J. Ostroff, B.J. Bacon
A recently proposed method of on-line control design for aircraft
reconfiguration is modified to mitigate the effects of effector rate/position
saturation and sensor noise in critical measurements while preserving some,
perhaps reduced, level of flying qualities. The on-line control design, based on
an incremental version of nonlinear dynamic inversion, does not require a
complete aerodynamic mode... hiện toàn bộ

Phase-locked loops: a control centric tutorial Tập 1 - Trang 1-15 vol.1
D. Abramovitch
Presents a tutorial on phase-locked loops from a control systems perspective. It
starts with an introduction of the loop as a feedback control problem, with both
the similarities and differences to traditional control problems. Chief among
the differences is the necessary inclusion of two nonlinearities in the loop
that are not parasitic, but essential to the loop's operation. Analysis methods,
