New results on quadratic stabilization of switched linear systems with polytopic uncertainties

^** Corresponding author. Email: longwang{at}pku.edu.cn^*** Email: jizj{at}mech.pku.edu.cn In this paper, the quadratic stabilization of switched linearsystems with polytopic uncertainties is considered. Comparedwith the existing result, a more general switching control methodis proposed to guarantee the quadratic stabilization. This switchingcontrol method is based on the partition of the vertex matrixset of each subsystem. By this method, the matrix inequalitiesneeded to be solved are always less than those needed to besolved before except one extreme case; for this case, it isequal. The switched control synthesis problem is also studiedfor both switched state feedback and output feedback. Severalbilinear matrix inequality based conditions are derived forboth cases.     

A hybrid genetic algorithm–neural network strategy for simulation optimization

Simulation optimization aims at determining the best values of input parameters, while the analytical objective function and constraints are not explicitly known in terms of design variables and their values only can be estimated by complicated analysis or time-consuming simulation. In this paper, a hybrid genetic algorithm–neural network strategy (GA–NN) is proposed for such kind of optimization problems. The good approximation performance of neural network (NN) and the effective and robust evolutionary searching ability of genetic algorithm (GA) are applied in hybrid sense, where NNs are employed in predicting the objective value, and GA is adopted in searching optimal designs based on the predicted fitness values. Numerical simulation results and comparisons based on a well-known pressure vessel design problem demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the framework, and much better results are achieved than some existed literature results.     

On the threshold dividend strategy for a generalized jump-diffusion risk model

In this paper, we generalize the Cramér-Lundberg risk model perturbed by diffusion to incorporate jumps due to surplus fluctuation and to relax the positive loading condition. Assuming that the surplus process has exponential upward and arbitrary downward jumps, we analyze the expected discounted penalty (EDP) function of Gerber and Shiu (1998) under the threshold dividend strategy. An integral equation for the EDP function is derived using the Wiener-Hopf factorization. As a result, an explicit analytical expression is obtained for the EDP function by solving the integral equation. Finally, phase-type downward jumps are considered and a matrix representation of the EDP function is presented.     

Adaptive control of nonlinear complex Holling II predator–prey system with unknown parameters

In recent years, control of nonlinear complex predator–prey systems has attracted the attention of many researchers. The previous works have some weaknesses such as neglecting the consideration of the effects of both model uncertainties and unknown parameters and having an infinite time of convergence. To overcome the mentioned shortages, this article solves the problem of robust control of nonlinear complex Holling type II predator–prey system in a given finite time. It is assumed that the parameters of the system are fully unknown in advance and some uncertainties perturb the system's dynamics. To tackle the system unknown parameters, some adaptation laws are introduced. Thereafter, a robust switching controller is proposed to finite‐timely stabilize the predator–prey system. An illustrative example demonstrates the efficiency and usefulness of the proposed control strategy. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 260–266, 2016     

Ion Viscosity Stabilization of Tokamak Resistive Internal Kink Modes

For most of small and medium sized Tokamaks, the unstable mode responsible for the sawtooth crash is the resistive internal kink mode. However, the plasma parameters can be in the ion kinetic regime. In this paper, we consider the dependence of the mode growth rate on the magnetic shear which is changeable during a sawtooth cycle and find that the ion viscosity effect can completely stabilize the mode only for shear smaller than some critical value, corresponding to the stable phase of the sawtooth evolution. This is consistent with one of the salient phenomena of the sawtooth, the sudden onset.     

A zero sum differential game in a Hilbert space

We study a zero sum differential game of fixed duration in a separable Hilbert space. We prove a minimax principle and establish the equivalence between the dynamic programming principle and the existence of a saddle point equilibrium. We also prove sufficient conditions for optimality.

On stability and stabilization of some discrete dynamical systems

The paper formulates effective and nonimprovable stability conditions for a linear difference system involving 2 integer delays. The used technique combines algorithm of the discrete D‐decomposition method with some procedures of the polynomial theory. Contrary to the related existing results, the derived conditions are fully explicit with respect to both delays, which enables their simple applicability in various scientific and engineering areas. As an illustration, we show their importance in delayed feedback controls of discrete dynamical systems, with a particular emphasis put on stabilization of unstable steady states of the discrete logistic map.
