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

Heuristic random optimizer-version II Tập 4 - Trang 2589-2594 vol.4 - 2002
S. Chandran, R.R. Rhinehart
This work presents the search logic of a multivariable optimizer that is a
combination of heuristic rules and random perturbations, and demonstrates its
performance on classic and new test cases. One of the neural network
applications had 80 decision variables. The improved Heuristic Random
Optimization (HRO-II) strategy is shown to accommodate surface discontinuities,
handle hard constraints, to ... hiện toàn bộ

Stochastic single machine scheduling with earliness and tardiness penalties and proportional weights Tập 6 - Trang 4455-4456 vol.6 - 2002
Chunfu Jia
The problem of minimizing total weighted deviations of job completion times from
a common due date on a single machine is a typical scheduling model in a
just-in-time production environment. It is a NP-hard problem. However, the
largest processing time job sequence is optimal for the case where job weights
are proportional to processing times. In this paper, we consider the stochastic
counterpart ... hiện toàn bộ

Nonlinear model reduction for energy metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tập 4 - Trang 2867-2872 vol.4 - 2002
Z.P. Gerdtzen, P. Daoutidis, Wei-Shou Hu
A nonlinear model reduction method based on time scale analysis was applied to a
detailed mechanistic model of the glucose catabolic pathway in S. cerevisiae.
The method allows us to identify quasi steady state constraints of complete
conversion and reaction equilibrium corresponding to the fast reactions of the
pathway, and to derive a reduced-order nonlinear model of the pathway dynamics
for the... hiện toàn bộ

Asymptotic tracking performance of sampled-data systems Tập 4 - Trang 2967-2972 vol.4 - 2002
O. Toker, Jie Chen
This paper studies the tracking performance of sampled-data control systems. We
consider the problem of tracking a step reference input by a sampled-data
controller, and the goal is to minimize the integral square of the error between
the output and input signals. Under this criterion, of particular interest is to
investigate whether and when a degradation in the tracking performance may
result, d... hiện toàn bộ
