Minimum energy control and optimal-satisfactory control of Boolean control network

In the literatures, to transfer the Boolean control network from the initial state to the desired state, the expenditure of energy has been rarely considered. Motivated by this, this Letter investigates the minimum energy control and optimal-satisfactory control of Boolean control network. Based on the semi-tensor product of matrices and Floyd?s algorithm, minimum energy, constrained minimum energy and optimal-satisfactory control design for Boolean control network are given respectively. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.     

Cluster control of a distributed-parameter planar structure--middle authority control

This paper proposes a generalized active vibration control approach, "cluster control," that explicitly targets sets of structural modes with some common property. The approach falls into a category of MAC (middle authority control) between conventionally used LAC (low authority control) and HAC (high authority control), possessing the benefit of stability and control law simplicity analogous to LAC, while providing high control performance as well as some flexibility of control gain assignment similar to HAC. The structure of a cluster control system is outlined, showing that it is possible to control a target cluster without affecting the other clusters. A design procedure for the cluster control system is then proposed. Experimental results are also presented.     

Efficient modal control strategies for active control of vibrations

Some efficient strategies for the active control of vibrations of a beam structure using piezoelectric materials are described. The control algorithms have been implemented for a cantilever beam model developed using finite element formulation. The vibration response of the beam to an impulse excitation has been calculated numerically for the uncontrolled and the controlled cases. The essence of the method proposed is that a feedback force in different modes be applied according to the vibration amplitude in the respective modes i.e., modes having lesser vibration may receive lesser feedback. This weighting may be done on the basis of either displacement or energy present in different modes. This method is compared with existing methods of modal space control, namely the independent modal space control (IMSC), and modified independent modal space control (MIMSC). The method is in fact an extension of the modified independent space control with the addition that it proposes to use the sum of weighted multiple modal forces for control. The proposed method results in a simpler feedback, which is easy to implement on a controller. The procedure is illustrated for vibration control of a cantilever beam. The analytical results show that the maximum feedback control voltage required in the proposed method is further reduced as compared to existing methods of IMSC and MIMSC for similar vibration control. The limitations of the proposed method are discussed.     

Prediction-based control of chaos

Pyragas proposes a practically useful control method, called delayed feedback control, for control of chaos. Conditions for (local) stabilization by the delayed feedback control, however, are more restricted than those by the OGY method. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a novel control method, called a prediction-based feedback control, for discrete-time chaotic systems. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential stabilization of fixed points by the proposed method.     

Information-theoretic limits of control

Fundamental limits on the controllability of physical systems are discussed in the light of information theory. It is shown that the second law of thermodynamics, when generalized to include information, sets absolute limits to the minimum amount of dissipation required by open-loop control. In addition, an information-theoretic analysis of control systems shows feedback control to be a zero sum game: each bit of information gathered from a dynamical system by a control device can serve to decrease the entropy of that system by at most one bit additional to the reduction of entropy attainable without such information. Consequences for the control of discrete state systems and chaotic maps are discussed.     

Feedback control of canards

We present a control mechanism for tuning a fast-slow dynamical system undergoing a supercritical Hopf bifurcation to be in the canard regime, the tiny parameter window between small and large periodic behavior. Our control strategy uses continuous feedback control via a slow control variable to cause the system to drift on average toward canard orbits. We apply this to tune the FitzHugh-Nagumo model to produce maximal canard orbits. When the controller is improperly configured, periodic or chaotic mixed-mode oscillations are found. We also investigate the effects of noise on this control mechanism. Finally, we demonstrate that a sensor tuned in this way to operate near the canard regime can detect tiny changes in system parameters.     

Hopf bifurcation control via a dynamic state-feedback control

To relocate two Hopf bifurcation points, simultaneously, to any desired locations in n-dimensional nonlinear systems, a novel dynamic state-feedback control law is proposed. Analytical schemes to determine the control gains according to the conditions for the emergence of Hopf bifurcation are derived. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed control law, numerical examples are provided.

Active control of double-glazed windowsPart I: Feedforward control

This paper describes an experimental investigation of an actively controlled double-glazed window. It is the first part of two companion papers, and it shows the results with a feedforward controller. In the second part about results obtained with adaptive feedback control will be reported. A laboratory version of the window was equipped with loudspeakers and microphones inside the cavity. Various positions of loudspeakers and microphones were tested with band-limited white noise excitation. Different combinations of distributed loudspeakers were realized driving them in parallel by single channels of the controller. Similarly the signals of microphones were summed to realize simple modal filters. Plane mode control as well as control of higher cavity modes were performed with a feedforward controller and the reference signal taken directly from the primary signal. Additionally tests with different traffic noise examples were performed showing the ability of the actively controlled window to enhance protection against traffic noise.

Optimal control of neuronal activity

We investigate the optimal control of neuronal spiking activity for neurons receiving a class of random synaptic inputs, characterized by a positive parameter alpha. Optimal control signals and optimal variances are found exactly for the diffusion process approximating an integrate and fire model. When synaptic inputs are "sub-Poisson" (alpha<0.5), we find that the optimal synaptic input is a delta function (corresponding to bang-bang control) and the optimal signal is not unique. Poisson synaptic input is the critical case: The control signal is unique, but the control signal is still a delta function. For "supra-Poisson" (alpha>0.5) inputs, the optimal control is smooth and unique. The optimal variance obtained in the current paper sets the lowest possible bound in controlling the stochasticity of neuronal activity. We also discuss how to implement the optimal control signal for certain model neurons.     

Aeroelastic dynamic response and control of an airfoil section with control surface nonlinearities

Nonlinearities in aircraft mechanisms are inevitable, especially in the control system. It is necessary to investigate the effects of them on the dynamic response and control performance of aeroelastic system. In this paper, based on the state-dependent Riccati equation method, a state feedback suboptimal control law is derived for aeroelastic response and flutter suppression of a three degree-of-freedom typical airfoil section. With the control law designed, nonlinear effects of freeplay in the control surface and time delay between the control input and actuator are investigated by numerical approach. A cubic nonlinearity in pitch degree is adopted to prevent the aeroelastic responses from divergence when the flow velocity exceeds the critical flutter speed. For the system with a freeplay, the responses of both open- and closed-loop systems are determined with Runge-Kutta algorithm in conjunction with Henon’s method. This method is used to locate the switching points accurately and efficiently as the system moves from one subdomain into another. The simulation results show that the freeplay leads to a forward phase response and a slight increase of flutter speed of the closed-loop system. The effect of freeplay on the aeroelastic response decreases as the flow velocity increases. The time delay between the control input and actuator may impair control performance and cause high-frequency motion and quasi-periodic vibration.

Active control effort of hybrid piezoelectric absorber for structural control

This paper aims at addressing the active control effort of the active-shunted hybrid piezoelectric absorber for structural vibration suppression. Both active control efforts of the integrated and separated hybrid piezoelectric absorbers are analyzed by using a simple cantilevered beam example. It is recognized that a new hybrid piezoelectric absorber based on a switching operation is capable of reducing the active control effort. A switching type of the hybrid piezoelectric absorber can be developed by the simple combination of integrated and separated hybrid piezoelectric absorbers. It is demonstrated that the switching type of the absorber has the capability of the trade-off between the active control effort and the damping performance.     

Feedback control of acoustic musical instruments: collocated control using physical analogs

Traditionally, the average professional musician has owned numerous acoustic musical instruments, many of them having distinctive acoustic qualities. However, a modern musician could prefer to have a single musical instrument whose acoustics are programmable by feedback control, where acoustic variables are estimated from sensor measurements in real time and then fed back in order to influence the controlled variables. In this paper, theory is presented that describes stable feedback control of an acoustic musical instrument. The presentation should be accessible to members of the musical acoustics community who may have limited or no experience with feedback control. First, the only control strategy guaranteed to be stable subject to any musical instrument mobility is described: the sensors and actuators must be collocated, and the controller must emulate a physical analog system. Next, the most fundamental feedback controllers and the corresponding physical analog systems are presented. The effects that these controllers have on acoustic musical instruments are described. Finally, practical design challenges are discussed. A proof explains why changing the resonance frequency of a musical resonance requires much more control power than changing the decay time of the resonance.     

Hybrid control of bifurcation and chaos in stroboscopic model of Internet congestion control system

Interaction between transmission control protocol （TCP） and random early detection （RED） gateway in the Internet congestion control system has been modelled as a discrete-time dynamic system which exhibits complex bifurcating and chaotic behaviours. In this paper, a hybrid control strategy using both state feedback and parameter perturbation is employed to control the bifurcation and stabilize the chaotic orbits embedded in this discrete-time dynamic system of TCP/RED. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the bifurcation is delayed and the chaotic orbits are stabilized to a fixed point, which reliably achieves a stable average queue size in an extended range of parameters and even completely eliminates the chaotic behaviour in a particular range of parameters. Therefore it is possible to decrease the sensitivity of RED to parameters. By using the hybrid strategy, we may improve the stability and performance of TCP/RED congestion control system significantly.
