Can climate sensitivity be estimated from short-term relationships of top-of-atmosphere net radiation and surface temperature?

Increasing the knowledge in climate radiative feedbacks is critical for current climate studies. This work focuses on short-term relationships between global mean surface temperature and top-of-atmosphere (TOA) net radiation. The relationships may be used to characterize the climate feedback as suggested by some recent studies. As those recent studies, an energy balance model with ocean mixed layer and both radiative and non-radiative heat sources is used here. The significant improvement of current model is that climate system memories are considered.Based on model simulations, short-term relationship between global mean surface temperature and TOA net radiation (or the linear striation feature as suggested by previous studies) might represent climate feedbacks when the system had no memories. However, climate systems with the same short-term feedbacks but different memories would have a similar linear striation feature. This linear striation feature reflects only fast components of climate feedbacks and may not represent the total climate feedback even when the memory length of climate systems is minimal. The potential errors in the use of short-term relationships in estimations of climate sensitivity could be big. In short time scales, fast climate processes may overwhelm long-term climate feedbacks. Thus, the climate radiative feedback parameter obtained from short-term data may not provide a reliable estimate of climate sensitivity. This result also suggests that long-term observations of global surface temperature and TOA radiation are critical in the understanding of climate feedbacks and sensitivities.

The guaranteed cost control for uncertain nonlinear large-scale stochastic systems via state and static output feedback

The guaranteed cost control (GCC) problem involved in decentralized robust control of a class of uncertain nonlinear large-scale stochastic systems with high-order interconnections is considered. After determining the appropriate conditions for the stochastic GCC controller, a class of decentralized local state feedback controllers is derived using the linear matrix inequality (LMI). The extension of the result of the study to the static output feedback control problem is discussed by considering the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. The efficiency of the proposed design method is demonstrated on the basis of simulation results.     

Stabilization of elasticity–viscoporosity system by linear boundary feedback

The initial boundary value problem for linear elastodynamic system for viscoporous materials is considered. Exponential decay of solutions via the linear boundary feedback is established. Existence of solutions is obtained through the method of c₀‐semigroups. Exponential stabilization is derived via a proper collection of ideas of observability inequality, energy identity and c₀‐semigroup of contractions. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Output feedback stabilization for a class of nonlinear time-evolution systems

A variety of problems in nonlinear time-evolution systems such as communication networks, computer networks, manufacturing, traffic management, etc., can be modelled as min–max-plus systems in which operations of min, max and addition appear simultaneously. Systems with only maximum (or minimum) constraints can be modelled as max-plus system and handled by max-plus algebra which changes the original nonlinear system in the traditional sense into linear system in this framework. Min-max-plus systems are extensions of max-plus systems and nonlinear even in the max-plus algebra view. Output feedback stabilization for min–max-plus systems with min–max-plus inputs and max-plus outputs is considered in this paper. Max-plus projection representation for the closed-loop system with min–max-plus output feedback is introduced and the formula to calculate the cycle time is presented. Stabilization of reachable systems with at least one observable state and a further result for reachable and observable systems are worked out, during which max-plus output feedbacks are used to stabilize the systems. The method based on the max-plus algebra is constructive in nature.

Mathematical model of hematopoiesis dynamics with growth factor-dependent apoptosis and proliferation regulations

We consider a nonlinear mathematical model of hematopoietic stem cell dynamics, in which proliferation and apoptosis are controlled by growth factor concentrations. Cell proliferation is positively regulated, while apoptosis is negatively regulated. The resulting age-structured model is reduced to a system of three differential equations, with three independent delays, and existence of steady states is investigated. The stability of the trivial steady state, describing cells dying out with a saturation of growth factor concentrations is proven to be asymptotically stable when it is the only equilibrium. The stability analysis of the unique positive steady state allows the determination of a stability area, and shows that instability may occur through a Hopf bifurcation, mainly as a destabilization of the proliferative capacity control, when cell cycle durations are very short. Numerical simulations are carried out and result in a stability diagram that stresses the lead role of the introduction rate compared to the apoptosis rate in the system stability.
