Boundary position feedback control of Kirchhoff's non‐linear strings

This paper is concerned with global stabilization of an undamped non‐linear string in the case where any velocity feedback is not available. The linearized system has an infinite number of poles and zeros on the imaginary axis. In the case where any velocity feedback is not available, a parallel compensator is effective. The stabilizer is constructed for the augmented system which consists of the controlled system and a parallel compensator. It is proved that the string can be stabilized by linear boundary control.

Exact boundary observability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations

By means of a direct and constructive method based on the theory of semi‐global C² solution, the local exact boundary observability and an implicit duality between the exact boundary controllability and the exact boundary observability are shown for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations with various boundary conditions.

Detectability conditions for output-only subspace identification

ABSTRACT

The scope of output-only/blind identification is restricted to stochastic/statistical processes, but for the first time in this study, the detectability conditions for general output-only subspace identification are investigated. This aids the range of input sources to be extended in a much realistic manner, beyond the only stochastic inputs. For this purpose, the subspace framework is assigned to make a connection between the output signal contents and the LTI system order. A few substantial hypotheses and algebraic statements are propounded affirming the sufficiency of the genuine output sequences for the identification purpose. This can be perceived as the cornerstone of state-space model reconstruction. In order to consolidate the notions according to reality, several examples are studied and examined for different input classes with stochastic disturbance.     

Dynamic modeling and simulation of deploying process for space solar power satellite receiver

To reveal some dynamic properties of the deploying process for the solar power satellite via an arbitrarily large phased array (SPS-ALPHA) solar receiver, the symplectic Runge-Kuttamethod is used to simulate the simplified model with the consideration of the Rayleigh damping effect. The system containing the Rayleigh damping can be separated and transformed into the equivalent nondamping system formally to insure the application condition of the symplectic Runge-Kutta method©First, the Lagrange equation with the Rayleigh damping governing the motion of the system is derived via the variational principle. Then, with some reasonable assumptions on the relations among the damping, mass, and stiffness matrices, the Rayleigh damping system is equivalently converted into the nondamping system formally, so that the symplectic Runge-Kutta method can be used to simulate the deploying process for the solar receiver. Finally, some numerical results of the symplectic Runge-Kutta method for the dynamic properties of the solar receiver are reported. The numerical results show that the proposed simplified model is valid for the deploying process for the SPS-ALPHA solar receiver, and the symplectic Runge-Kutta method can preserve the displacement constraints of the system well with excellent long-time numerical stability.     

Stochastic uniform observability of linear differential equations with multiplicative noise

The aim of this paper is to give a deterministic characterization of the uniform observability property of linear differential equations with multiplicative white noise in infinite dimensions. We also investigate the properties of a class of perturbed evolution operators and we used these properties to give a new representation of the covariance operators associated to the mild solutions of the investigated stochastic differential equations. The obtained results play an important role in obtaining necessary and sufficient conditions for the stochastic uniform observability property.     

Applications of mathematical systems theory in population biology

This paper is a review of recent developments of a research line proposed on the turn of the decades, 1980s to 1990s. The main results concern basic qualitative properties of nonlinear models of population biology, such as controllability and observability. The methods applied are different for the density-dependent models of population ecology and for the frequency-dependent models of population genetics and evolutionary theory. While in the first case the classical theorems of nonlinear systems theory can be used, in the second one an extension of classical results to systems with invariant manifold is necessary.

Observability of elastic vibrations of a beam

The observability problem for beam vibrations described by a fourth-order partial differential equation with various boundary conditions is considered. Dynamic observability problems are solved in terms of boundary conditions and observations of the beam state at certain fixed instants of time.     

On the Boundary Control of a Hybrid System with Variable Coefficients

A model of the spacecraft control laboratory experiment with variable coefficients is considered. It is shown that the closed-loop system under boundary feedback damping has a sequence of generalized eigenfunctions, which form a Riesz basis for the state Hilbert space. The spectrum-determined growth condition, the exponential stability, and an asymptotic expression of the spectrum are obtained. Moreover, the exact controllability and exact observability of the system are also presented.
