Stabilization control for offshore steel jacket platforms with actuator time-delays

This paper is concerned with the stabilization control for the offshore steel jacket platforms subject to wave-induced force. Two state feedback stabilization control schemes are proposed to reduce the vibration amplitudes of the systems. One scheme is that for the systems without actuator time-delay, a state feedback controller is designed. Compared with the nonlinear controller, both the control force and the vibration amplitudes of the systems under the state feedback controller are much reduced; and compared with the dynamic output feedback controller and the integral sliding mode controller, the required control force under the state feedback controller are significantly reduced. The other scheme is that based on the integral inequality approach, a delay-dependent state feedback controller, which can be solved by using the cone complementarity algorithm, is developed to control the systems with actuator time-delays. Compared with the state feedback controller, the delay-dependent state feedback controller is less conservative with actuator time-delays. In addition, it is capable of improving the control performance of the offshore platforms significantly, which are illustrated by simulation results.     

Analyzing projective synchronization on different scaling factors in a drive-response coupling dynamical network with time-varying delays

In this paper, projective synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network with delayed system nodes and coupling time-varying delay is investigated via impulsive control, where the scaling factors are different from each other. Different controllers are designed to achieve the projective synchronization: only impulsive control is used when the scaling factors need extra limitation, while an extra controller, that is, a simple linear feedback controller, is added when the scaling factors don??t need extra limitation. Based on the stability analysis of the impulsive functional differential equation, the sufficient conditions for achieving projective synchronization of such coupled network are established, and an estimate of the upper bound of impulsive intervals ensuring global exponential synchronization of drive-response coupled dynamical network is also given. Numerical examples on the time-delay Lorenz chaotic systems are presented finally to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed synchronization criteria.     

Estimates of learning rates of regularized regression via polyline functions

Based on the simplicity and calculability of polyline function, we consider, in this paper, the regularized regression learning algorithm associated with the least square loss and the set of polyline function . The target is the error analysis for the regression problem. The approach presented in the paper yields satisfactory learning rates. The rates depend on the approximation property of and on the capacity of measured by covering numbers. Under some certain conditions, the rates achieve m^?4/5 log m.

A nonclassical LIL for geometrically weighted series in Banach space

Let {X, Xn ; n ≥ 0} be a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables, taking values in a separable Banach space (B,||·||) with topological dual B* . Considering the geometrically weighted series ξ(β) =∑∞n=0βnXn for 0 β 1, and a sequence of positive constants {h(n), n ≥ 1}, which is monotonically approaching infinity and not asymptotically equivalent to log log n, a limit result for(1-β2)1/2||ξ(β)||/(2h(1/(1-β2)))1/2 is achieved.

采用基于多松弛时间因子的格子Boltzmann方法对旋转体系中的湍流进行数值研究,考察Rossby数和Ekman数对湍流的影响,包括湍流能量及其耗散率、速度、涡结构及湍流的耗散尺度即Kolmorogov尺度和积分尺度等.研究表明,系统的旋转延缓了湍流能量的衰减速率,逐步破坏初始涡结构的均匀性,与旋转方向相反的涡逐步被抑制,并最终形成若干与旋转同向的涡柱.结果还表明,系统旋转越快,湍流的耗散尺度越小而积分尺度越大.     

New simple exact penalty function for constrained minimization

By adding one variable to the equality-or inequality-constrained minimization problems, a new simple penalty function is proposed. It is proved to be exact in the sense that under mild assumptions, the local minimizers of this penalty function are precisely the local minimizers of the original problem, when the penalty parameter is sufficiently large.
