Inducing sustained oscillations in feedback-linearizable single-input nonlinear systems

The present paper concerns the induction of stable sustained oscillation in feedback-linearizable single-input affine nonlinear dynamical systems via continuous-time state feedback control. The proposed application-oriented control approach is based on the conception of a state feedback controller that ensures the tracking of a limit cycle characterized in terms of the feedback-linearized system. Boundedness and convergence of the closed-loop trajectories are established following the Lyapunov theoretical framework and applying LaSalle׳s stability principle. The proposed approach is demonstrated with computer-simulated control experiments, showing that it ensures the convergence of the state trajectories of the controlled system to a designed limit cycle and that the methodology can, in principle, be applied to any single input feedback linearizable system.     

Analysis of spontaneous electrochemical oscillations by energy distribution technique

Analysis of non-stationary electrochemical oscillations emerges utilization of the techniques allowing an observation of time evolution of their parameters such as instantaneous frequency, amplitude or frequency band. An algorithm of extraction of these parameters can be based on one of linear or quadratic time-frequency representations of oscillations record. In this paper, the authors present representatives of such transformations (Choi-Williams and Cone-shaped) originating from one of the most popular joint time-frequency energy distribution—Wigner-Ville distribution. Short introduction to the mathematics of the topic discussed is provided, then the authors present an example of application in the analysis of current oscillations of copper dissolution process.

垂直腔激光器中弛豫振荡频率的优化控制

从垂直腔面发射的半导体激光器（VCSELs）的结构出发，利用增益与载流子密度的广义对数关系，借助小信号分析法，推出了直接调制情形下驰豫振荡频率的严格解析关系。分析指出，量子阱器件的光子寿命并非越短越好，欲提高VCSELs的驰豫振荡频率，除了增加注入电流，提高微分增益等基本途径外，控制器件的结构参数可使驰豫振荡频率达到极大值。同时，自发辐射因子的可控性，以及降低稳态载流子密度，也都是提高VCSELs驰豫振荡频率和拓宽调制带宽的有效措施。     

Dynamical adaptive synchronization

The notions of dynamical synchronization and adaptive dynamical synchronization problems are introduced. The algorithm solving adaptive synchronization problem for a subclass of Lurie systems with exciting input is proposed. The performance and potentialities of proposed solutions are demonstrated by two examples related to formation control and self‐organization of swarm systems.

窄禁带N型掺杂HgCdTe中自由载流子的奇特性质

研究已表明掺杂HgCdTe中不存在对于自由载流子等离子体振荡的朗道阻尼,本文进一步研究了HgCdTe掺杂及随之产生的简并对自由载流子能量色散关系的影响,并将这种影响计入自由载流子的介电函数后,从理论上证明了掺杂窄禁带半导体中不存在朗道阻尼的现象是由于自由载流子能量色散关系变化引起其运动行为变化所致。     

Isothermal oscillations in the catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide over Cu-ZSM-5

The catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide was studied on a copper-exchanged ZSM-5 catalyst in the temperature range 648–723 K. Using a mixture of 1000 ppm N₂O in nitrogen, isothermal oscillations both in nitrous oxide and oxygen concentrations occurred, accompanied by formation of small amounts of NO. While the addition of excess oxygen did not significantly change frequency and amplitude of the oscillations, even the presence of small amounts of NO immediately quenched the oscillations. The reacting system then remained in the ignited state at high nitrous oxide conversions.     

Effect of the electrolyte composition on In and Ag–In alloy electrodeposition from cyanide electrolytes

A procedure for preparation of clear and stable indium cyanide electrolytes, containing indium salt, d(+)-Glucose and KCN is proposed. NMR investigations revealed that the formation of a complicated indium complex in which the products of the disintegration of d(+)-Glucose in the KCN-solution are closely situated to the indium ion ensures the clearness of the electrolyte. The effect of nitrate, chloride and sulphate ions on the electrochemical processes of indium and silver–indium alloy electrodeposition is studied by cyclic voltammetry. During alloy electrodeposition under galvanostatic conditions unique spatio–temporal structures are observed on the cathodic surface.     

In situ ellipsometric study of a palladium catalyst during the oxidation of methane

Ellipsometry is used to follow the growth of a PdO layer on the surface of a thick Pd-film catalyst during methane oxidation at 500°C. The oxide layer that develops under rich conditions (excess CH₄) is quite porous and roughens with time. Little CO is formed during this period, but the CO₂ formation rate increases until spontaneous oscillations develop, which correlate with changes in the ellipsometric data. These changes indicate that the porous oxide rapidly converts to a metal-rich state, which has decreased catalytic activity, and then slowly reoxidizes.     

Isolation of Whole-plant Multiple Oscillations via Non-negative Spectral Decompositio

Constrained spectral non-negative matrix factorization（NMF）analysis of perturbed oscillatory process control loop variable data is performed for the isolation of multiple plant-wide oscillatory sources.The technique is described and demonstrated by analyzing data from both simulated and real plant data of a chemical process plant. Results show that the proposed approach can map multiple oscillatory sources onto the most appropriate control loops,and has superior performance in terms of reconstruction accuracy and intuitive understanding compared with spectral independent component analysis（ICA）.
