The Boubaker polynomials and their application to solve fractional optimal control problems

In this paper, we focus on Boubaker polynomials in fractional calculus area and obtain the operational matrix of Caputo fractional derivative and the operational matrix of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integration for the first time. Also, a general formulation for the operational matrix of multiplication of these polynomials has been achieved to solve the nonlinear problems. Then, these matrices are applied to solve fractional optimal control problems directly. In fact, the functions of the problem are approximated by Boubaker polynomials with unknown coefficients in the constraint equations, performance index and conditions. Thus, a fractional optimal control problem converts to an optimization problem, which can then be solved easily. Convergence of the algorithm is proved. Numerical results are given for several test examples to demonstrate the applicability and efficiency of the method.     

Synchronization and stabilization of fractional order nonlinear systems with adaptive fuzzy controller and compensation signal

In this paper, a direct adaptive fuzzy controller with compensation signal is presented to control and stabilize a class of fractional order systems with unknown nonlinearities. Based on a Lyapunov function candidate the global Mittag–Leffler stability is proved and a new fractional order adaptation law is derived. The adaptation law adjusts free parameters of the fuzzy controller and bounds them by utilizing a novel fractional order projection algorithm. Furthermore, due to the use of compensation term, the proposed approach does not demand suitable membership functions in the fuzzy system. In addition, the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by utilizing a supervisory controller. Numerical simulations show the validity and effectiveness of the introduced scheme for various fractional order nonlinear models that perturbed by disturbance and uncertainty.     

Stability analysis of duffing oscillator with time delayed and/or fractional derivatives

The periodic motions of the fractional order and/or delayed nonlinear systems are investigated in the frequency domain using a harmonic balance method with the analytical gradients of the nonlinear quality constraints and the sensitivity information of the Fourier coefficients can also obtained. The properties of fractional order derivatives and trigonometric functions are utilized to construct the fractional order derivatives, delayed and product operational matrices. The operational matrices are used to derive the analytical formulae of nonlinear systems of algebraic equations. The stability of periodic solutions for the delayed nonlinear systems is identified by an eigenvalue analysis of quasi-polynomials characteristic equations. Sensitivity analysis is performed to study the influence of the structural parameters on the system responses. Finally, three numerical examples are presented to illustrate the validity and feasibility of the developed method. It is concluded that the proposed methodology has the potential to facilitate highly efficient optimization, as well as sensitivity and uncertainty analysis of nonlinear systems with fractional derivatives and/or time delayed.     

Hyperchaos synchronization of fractional-order arbitrary dimensional dynamical systems via modified sliding mode control

This paper considers the design of adaptive sliding mode control approach for synchronization of a class of fractional-order arbitrary dimensional hyperchaotic systems with unknown bounded disturbances. This approach is based on the principle of sliding mode control and adaptive compensation term for solving the problem of synchronization of the unknown parameters in fractional-order nonlinear systems. In particular, a novel fractional-order five dimensional hyperchaotic system has been introduced as a representative example. Furthermore, global stability and asymptotic synchronization between the outputs of master and slave systems can be achieved based on the modified Lyapunov functional and fractional stability condition. Simulation results are provided in detail to illustrate the performance of the proposed approach.     

Low-complexity robust tracking of high-order nonlinear systems with application to underactuated mechanical dynamics

This paper presents a low-complexity design approach with predefined transient and steady-state tracking performance for global practical tracking of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems. It is assumed that all nonlinearities and their bounding functions are unknown and the reference signal is time varying. A simple output tracking scheme consisting of nonlinearly transformed errors and positive design parameters is presented in the presence of virtual and actual control variables with high powers where the error transformation technique using time-varying performance functions is employed. Contrary to the existing results using known nonlinear bounding functions of model nonlinearities, the proposed tracking scheme can be implemented without using nonlinear bounding functions (i.e., the feedback domination design), any adaptive and function approximation techniques for estimating unknown nonlinearities. It is shown that the tracking performance of the proposed control system is ensured within preassigned bounds, regardless of high-power virtual and actual control variables. The motion tracking problem of an underactuated unstable mechanical system with unknown model parameters and nonlinearities is considered as a practical application, and simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical result.

NONLINEAR DYNAMICAL BIFURCATION AND CHAOTIC MOTION OF SHALLOW CONICAL LATTICE SHELL

The nonlinear dynamical equations of axle symmetry are established by the method of quasi-shells for three-dimensional shallow conical single-layer lattice shells. The compatible equations are given in geometrical nonlinear range. A nonlinear differential equation containing the second and the third order nonlinear items is derived under the boundary conditions of fixed and clamped edges by the method of Galerkin. The problem of bifurcation is discussed by solving the Floquet exponent. In order to study chaotic motion, the equations of free oscillation of a kind of nonlinear dynamics system are solved. Then an exact solution to nonlinear free oscillation of the shallow conical single-layer lattice shell is found as well. The critical conditions of chaotic motion are obtained by solving Melnikov functions, some phase planes are drawn by using digital simulation proving the existence of chaotic motion.

Robust reliable sampled-data control for offshore steel jacket platforms with nonlinear perturbations

In this article, we consider the robust reliable sample-data control problem for an offshore steel jacket platform with input time-varying delay and possible occurrence of actuator faults subject to nonlinear self-exited hydrodynamic forces. The main objective of this work is to design a state feedback reliable sample-data controller such that for all admissible uncertainties as well as actuator failure cases, the resulting closed-loop system is robustly exponentially stable. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a new set of sufficient condition is derived in terms of LMIs for the existence of robust reliable sample-data control law. In particular, the uncertainty under consideration in system parameters includes linear fractional norm-bounded uncertainty. Further, Schur complement and Jenson’s integral inequality are used to substantially simplify the derivation in the main results. More precisely, the controller gain matrix for the nonlinear offshore steel jacket platform can be achieved by solving the LMIs, which can be easily facilitated by using some standard numerical packages. Finally, a numerical example with simulation result is provided to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed reliable sampled-data control scheme.     

Focusing of radiation from a source of longitudinal waves,located on a free surface

Propagation of waves from a source located on a free surface inside a circular conical horn is studied within the framework of a three-dimensional axisymmetric acoustic approximation. The horn axis is assumed to be orthogonal to the free surface. The influence of the horn geometry on the efficiency of radiation focusing in an arbitrary circular cone is studied. Criteria, objective functions, and control parameters for efficiency estimations and horn optimization are proposed. A method of optimizing the radiating system consisting of the source on the free surface and the horn on the basis of the problem geometry is developed. Geometric parameters ensuring the best focusing of radiation of the source-horn system in a circular cone for an arbitrary transmission angle are determined.     

Wavelet multiresolution interpolation Galerkin method for nonlinear boundary value problems with localized steep gradients

The wavelet multiresolution interpolation for continuous functions defined on a finite interval is developed in this study by using a simple alternative of transformation matrix. The wavelet multiresolution interpolation Galerkin method that applies this interpolation to represent the unknown function and nonlinear terms independently is proposed to solve the boundary value problems with the mixed Dirichlet-Robin boundary conditions and various nonlinearities, including transcendental ones, in which the discretization process is as simple as that in solving linear problems, and only common two-term connection coefficients are needed. All matrices are independent of unknown node values and lead to high efficiency in the calculation of the residual and Jacobian matrices needed in Newton’s method, which does not require numerical integration in the resulting nonlinear discrete system. The validity of the proposed method is examined through several nonlinear problems with interior or boundary layers. The results demonstrate that the proposed wavelet method shows excellent accuracy and stability against nonuniform grids, and high resolution of localized steep gradients can be achieved by using local refined multiresolution grids. In addition, Newton’s method converges rapidly in solving the nonlinear discrete system created by the proposed wavelet method, including the initial guess far from real solutions.

Stochastic minimax semi-active control for MDOF nonlinear uncertain systems under combined harmonic and wide-band noise excitations using MR dampers

A stochastic minimax semi-active control strategy for multi-degrees-of-freedom (MDOF) strongly nonlinear systems under combined harmonic and wide-band noise excitations is proposed. First, a stochastic averaging procedure is introduced for controlled uncertain strongly nonlinear systems using generalized harmonic functions and the control forces produced by Magneto-rheological (MR) dampers are split into the passive part and the active part. Then, a worst-case optimal control strategy is derived by solving a stochastic differential game problem. The worst-case disturbances and the optimal semi-active controls are obtained by solving the Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaacs (HJI) equations with the constraints of disturbance bounds and MR damper dynamics. Finally, the responses of optimally controlled MDOF nonlinear systems are predicted by solving the Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov (FPK) equation associated with the fully averaged Itô equations. Two examples are worked out in detail to illustrate the proposed control strategy. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is verified by using the results from Monte Carlo simulation.     

A FE‐based algorithm for the inverse natural convection problem

Several numerical algorithms for solving inverse natural convection problems are revisited and studied. Our aim is to identify the unknown strength of a time‐varying heat source via a set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations obtained by the so‐called finite element consistent splitting scheme (CSS) in order to get a good approximation of the unknown heat source from both the measured data and model results, by minimizing a functional that measures discrepancies between model and measured data. Viewed as an optimization problem, the solutions are obtained by means of the conjugate gradient method. A second‐order CSS in time involving the direct problem, the adjoint problem, the sensitivity problem and a system of sensitivity functions is used in order to enhance the numerical accuracy obtained for the unknown heat source function. A spatial discretization of all field equations is implemented using equal‐order and mixed finite element methods. Numerical experiments validate the proposed optimization algorithms that are in good agreement with the existing results. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Two Cracks Emerging from a Single Point,under the Influence of a Longitudinal Shear Wave

The problem of determining the dynamic stress intensity coefficients for two cracks emerging from a single point is solved. The cracks are affected by a longitudinal shear wave. The original problem is reduced to solving a system of two singular integro-differential equations with fixed singularities. For an approximate solution of this system, a numerical method is proposed that takes into account the real asymptotics of the unknown functions and uses special quadrature formulas for singular integrals.
