Global stabilization of a chain of integrators with input saturation and disturbances: A new approach

In this article, we solve the problem of global stabilization for a chain of integrators in the presence of input saturation and disturbances. A novel and elegant approach to solve this problem, in the absence of disturbances, was proposed by Teel (1992) using saturation functions and coordinate transformation. With Teel’s work as a foundation, many results have been proposed to improve the performance of controllers for a chain of integrators. Naturally, all such approaches also inherited the limitations of Teel’s approach. Most importantly, in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances, the transformation introduced in Teel (1992) would considerably shrink the region where the controller is unsaturated and, severely limit the level of uncertainties and disturbances which can be tolerated. In order to overcome these difficulties, a conceptually different approach which does not rely on the coordinate transformation is presented in this work. Specifically, modified saturation functions are directly applied to the tracking error of actual states as opposed to transformed fictitious states to develop a globally stable controller. The proposed controller is less conservative in terms of the level of uncertainties and disturbances which can be handled. In addition, arbitrarily good disturbance rejection in the unsaturated region can be achieved theoretically. Comparative simulation studies performed on a third order integrator chain verified the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

基于遗传算法的关联议题并发谈判

基于遗传算法的并发谈判在电子商务应用中具有独特的优势,但已有的研究尚未考虑议题之间的相关性、动态权重的变化规则依赖于对手信息的获取,极大地限制了其使用价值.对此,提出议题分组的方法以解决议题的相关性问题,而议题权重的变化则采取从历史资源中发掘知识的方法进行动态调整.构建了基于遗传算法的关联性议题并发谈判模型,给出了模型的形式化描述、谈判算法设计和动态权重更新方案.通过对模型的实验和比较分析,证实了该方案能够更方便地满足用户谈判的多样性需求,解决谈判中议题关联性的问题,而且能够快速、有效地得出最优谈判结果.     

Probabilistic characterisation of model error using Gaussian mixture model—With application to Charpy impact energy prediction for alloy steel

A novel approach to characterise the model prediction errors using a Gaussian mixture model is proposed. The motivation for this work lies behind many data models that are developed through prediction error minimisation with the assumption of a normal noise distribution. When the noise is non-normal, which may often be the case in complicated data modelling scenarios, the model prediction errors may contain rich information, which can be further exploited for model refinement and improvement. The key contents presented in this paper include: choosing the relevant variables to form the error data, optimising the number of Gaussian components required for the error data modelling, and fitting the Gaussian mixture parameters using an expectation-maximisation algorithm. Application of the proposed method for further model improvement, within the framework of hybrid deterministic/stochastic modelling, is also discussed. Preliminary results on the real industrial Charpy impact energy data for heat-treated steels show its effectiveness for model error characterisation, and the potential for model performance improvement in terms of prediction accuracy as well as providing accurate prediction confidence intervals.

Observation and computer simulation of multicomponent chemical short-range order （MCSRO） for the bulk metallic glasses

The atomic configuration of chemical short-range order (CSRO) for the Zr-base metallic glasses was investigated by using nano-diffraction and high resolution transmission electronic microscopy (HRTEM) technology with a beam size of 0.5 rim. It is illustrated that the pattern of atomic configuration of CSRO might have various compound counterparts because of the chemical interaction of bonding atoms. Some atomic configuration of MCSRO is similar to the icosahedral structure with 10-fold symmetry of very weak spots. In deed, the nano-beam technology could clearly detect the evolution of atomic configuration in nanometer scale during the transformation from the metallic melt to the primary crystallization. The local atomic configuration of CSRO is also investigated by molecular dynamics simulation (MD) for the Zr2Ni compound in a wider temperature range. The CSRO in the melt could be pictorially demonstrated as distorted coordination polyhedron of the compound structure and/or the structure similar to cubo-octahedron analogs. The MD simulation illustrates that the atomic packing of long-range order disappears just above the melting point, but the chemical interaction of bonding atoms still exists that leads to form the various CSRO with the atomic configuration similar to stable or metastable unit cell of Zr2Ni compound. The icosahedral polyhedron became more abundance as the overheating temperature was raised.
