Extended Projection Methods for Monotone Variational Inequalities

In this paper, we prove that each monotone variational inequality is equivalent to a two-mapping variational inequality problem. On the basis of this fact, a new class of iterative methods for the solution of nonlinear monotone variational inequality problems is presented. The global convergence of the proposed methods is established under the monotonicity assumption. The conditions concerning the implementability of the algorithms are also discussed. The proposed methods have a close relationship to the Douglas–Rachford operator splitting method for monotone variational inequalities.     

Linear-quadratic control and quadratic differential forms for multidimensional behaviors

This paper deals with systems described by constant coefficient linear partial differential equations (nD-systems) from a behavioral point of view. In this context we treat the linear quadratic control problem where the performance functional is the integral of a quadratic differential form. We look for characterizations of the set of stationary trajectories and of the set of local minimal trajectories with respect to compact support variations, turning out that they are equal if the system is dissipative. Finally we provide conditions for regular implementability of this set of trajectories and give an explicit representation of an optimal controller.     

Implementing matching rules by type pretension mechanisms

We consider a two-sided matching model where agents' preferences are a function of the types of their potential mates. Matching rules are manipulated by type misrepresentation. We explore the implementability of the -core in -Strong Nash Equilibria. Although direct type pretension mechanisms rule out “bad” equilibria, the existence of equilibrium cannot be generally guaranteed. However, taking as the discrete partition, the individually rational matching correspondence is partially implementable in Nash equilibria. On the other hand, incorporating a certain degree of hypocrisy in the mechanism, i.e., allowing agents to pretend different types to different potential mates, ensures the full implementability of the -core in -Strong Nash Equilibria.     

HMM-based quantized dissipative control for 2-D Markov jump systems

In this paper, the dissipative quantized control problem is addressed for Markov jump two-dimensional systems based on Roesser model, in which both asynchronous phenomenon and signal quantization between system modes and controller modes are taken into consideration simultaneously. Moreover, the hidden Markov model (HMM) is adopted to tackle such an asynchronous phenomenon. The principal goal is to devise a state feedback controller, which guarantees that the established closed-loop system achieves asymptotic mean square stability as well as satisfies a prescribed extended dissipative property. Drawing support from Lyapunov function approach and inequality technique, some less conservative criteria ensuring the implementability of the desired controller are derived. Ultimately, the availability and practicability of the developed results are certified through a simulation example.     

Decentralized optimal control of a group of dynamical objects

The problem of optimal control of a group of coupled dynamical objects is considered. The cases are examined in which the centralized control of a group of objects is impossible. Fast real-time optimal control algorithms of each of the dynamical systems are described that use information exchanged between group members in the course of control. The proposed methods supplement the earlier developed real-time optimal control methods for an individual dynamical system. The results are illustrated using optimal control of two coupled mathematical pendulums as an example.

Simplified method and synchronization for a class of complex chaotic systems

This paper is devoted to investigate a class of complex chaotic systems and a linear correlation between the real and imaginary component of complex variables in these systems is found. Based on this linear relationship, a simplified law is proposed. First, complex Lorenz system is given to show the linear correlation, then it is simplified. Second, a simplified law is proposed to determine whether the complex system can be simplified, and the complex Lü system and hyperchaotic complex Lü system are used to verify the simplified law. Finally, a new synchronization control is proposed to synchronize complex Lorenz system and real Lorenz system. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation prove the feasibility and better performance of this method.     

Nonlinear Programming Methods for Real-Time Control of an Industrial Robot

The optimal control of an industrial robot is considered as a parametricnonlinear control problem subject to control and state constraints. Based onrecent stability results for parametric control problems, a robust nonlinearprogramming method is proposed to compute the sensitivity of open-loopcontrol solutions. Real-time control approximations of the perturbedoptimal solutions are obtained by evaluating first-order Taylor expansionsof the optimal solutions with respect to the parameter. The proposednumerical methods are applied to the industrial robot Manutec r3. Thequality of the real-time approximations is illustrated for perturbations inthe transport load.     

Novel design of adaptive neural network controller for a class of non-affine nonlinear systems

The tracking control problem is studied for a class of uncertain non-affine systems. Based on the principle of sliding mode control (SMC), using the neural networks (NNs) and the property of the basis function, a novel adaptive design scheme is proposed. A novel Lyapunov function, which depends on both system states and control input variable, is used for the development of the control law and the adaptive law. The approach overcomes the drawback in the literature. In addition, the lumped disturbances are taken in account. By theoretical analysis, it is proved that tracking errors asymptotically converge to zero. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Real-time stable self-learning FNN controller using genetic algorithm

A kind of real-time stable self-learning fuzzy neural network (FNN) control system is proposed in this paper. The control system is composed of two parts: (1) A FNN controller which use genetic algorithm (GA) to search optimal fuzzy rules and membership functions for the unknown controlled plant; (2) A supervisor which can guarantee the stability of the control system during the real-time learning stage, since the GA has some random property which may cause control system unstable. The approach proposed in this paper combine a priori knowledge of designer and the learning ability of FNN to achieve optimal fuzzy control for an unknown plant in real-time. The efficiency of the approach is verified by computer simulation.     

A hierarchical structure of observer-based adaptive fuzzy-neural controller for MIMO systems

An observer-based adaptive controller developed from a hierarchical fuzzy-neural network (HFNN) is employed to solve the controller time-delay problem for a class of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) non-affine nonlinear systems under the constraint that only system outputs are available for measurement. By using the implicit function theorem and Taylor series expansion, the observer-based control law and the weight update law of the HFNN adaptive controller are derived. According to the design of the HFNN hierarchical fuzzy-neural network, the observer-based adaptive controller can alleviate the online computation burden. Moreover, the common adaptive controller is utilized to control all the MIMO subsystems. Hence, the number of adjusted parameters of the HFNN can be further reduced. In this paper, we prove that the proposed observer-based adaptive controller can guarantee that all signals involved are bounded and that the outputs of the closed-loop system track asymptotically the desired output trajectories.     

Hybrid chaos control of continuous unified chaotic systems using discrete rippling sliding mode control

In this paper, a new systematic design procedure to stabilize continuous unified chaotic systems based on discrete sliding mode control (DSMC) is presented. In contrast to the previous works, the concept of rippling control is newly introduced such that the design of DSMC can be simplified and only a single controller is needed to realize chaos suppression. As expected, under the proposed DSMC law, the unified system can be stabilized in a manner of ripple effect, even when the external uncertainty is present. Last, two examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed rippling DSMC developed in this paper.     

Adaptive tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems under a new state-dependent switching law

This paper deals with the problem of adaptive fuzzy tracking control for a class of switched uncertain nonlinear systems. Fuzzy logic systems are utilized to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, and the adaptive backstepping and dynamic surface control techniques are adopted. First, a new state-dependent switching method is proposed. By introducing convex combination technique and designing a state-dependent switching law, only the solvability of the adaptive tracking control problem for a convex combination of the subsystems is necessary. Second, a new common Lyapunov function with switched adaptive parameters is constructed to reduce the conservatism. Third, to avoid Zeno behavior, a modified state-dependent switching law with dwell time is proposed. It is shown that under the proposed control and switching laws, all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and all the state tracking errors can converge to a priori accuracy, even if some subsystems are uncontrollable. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through two simulation examples.

This article investigates the sliding mode control method for a class of chaotic systems with matched and unmatched uncertain parameters. The proposed reaching law is established to guarantee the existence of the sliding mode around the sliding surface in a finite‐time. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, the conditions on the state error bound are expressed in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation results for the well‐known Genesio's chaotic system are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 14–19, 2016     

A general approach to nonlinear multiple control problems with perturbation consideration

In this paper, we consider a general nonlinear optimal control problem involving multiple criteria. We show that the problem can be transformed into a standard optimal control problem, and hence, is solvable by conventional techniques. However, the optimal control so obtained is of open loop nature and is rather sensitive to perturbations. Based on the first-order approximation, neighboring extremal approach is used to obtain a local linear feedback correction control law, leading to a combined controller. Two numerical examples are solved using the proposed method to demonstrate the effectiveness of the combined control.     

Composite nonlinear feedback based discrete integral sliding mode controller for uncertain systems

In this paper, a discrete integral sliding mode (ISM) controller based on composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) method is proposed. The aim of the controller is to improve the transient performance of uncertain systems. The CNF based discrete ISM controller consists of a linear and a nonlinear term. The linear control law is used to decrease the damping ratio of the closed-loop system for yielding a quick transient response. The nonlinear feedback control law is used to increase the damping ratio with an aim to reduce the overshoot of the closed-loop system as it approaches the desired reference position. It is observed that the discrete CNF-ISM controller produces superior transient performance as compared to the discrete ISM controller. The closed-loop control system remains stable during the sliding condition. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
