Finite-time weighted average consensus with respect to a monotonic function and its application

The consensus state is an important and fundamental quantity for consensus problems of multi-agent systems, which indicates where all the dynamical agents reach. In this paper, weighted average consensus with respect to a monotonic function, which means that the trajectories of the monotonic function along the state of each agent reach the weighted average of their initial values, is studied for a group of kinematic agents with time-varying topology. By constructing a continuous nonlinear distributed protocol, such a consensus problem can be solved in finite time even though the time-varying topology involves unconnected graphs. Then the distributed protocol is employed to compute the maximum-likelihood estimation of unknown parameters over sensor networks. Compared with the existing results, the estimate scheme proposed here may reduce the costs of data communication, storage memory, book-keeping and computational overheads.     

Sweeping Points

Given a set of points in the plane, and a sweep-line as a tool, what is best way to move the points to a target point using a sequence of sweeps? In a sweep, the sweep-line is placed at a start position somewhere in the plane, then moved orthogonally and continuously to another parallel end position, and then lifted from the plane. The cost of a sequence of sweeps is the total length of the sweeps. Another parameter of interest is the number of sweeps. Four variants are discussed, depending on whether the target is a hole or a pile, and whether the target is specified or freely selected by the algorithm. Here we present a ratio 4/π≈1.27 approximation algorithm in the length measure, which performs at most four sweeps. We also prove that, for the two constrained variants, there are sets of n points for which any sequence of minimum cost requires 3n/2?O(1) sweeps.

Robust partial pole assignment problem for high order control systems

In this paper, we consider the partial pole assignment problem (PPAP) for high order control systems. It is shown that solving the PPAP is essentially solving a pole assignment for a linear system of a much lower order, and the robust PPAP is then concerning the robust pole assignment problem for this linear system. Based on this theory, a rather simple algorithm for solving the robust PPAP is proposed, and numerical examples show that this algorithm does lead to comparable results with earlier algorithms, but at much lower computational cost.     

Performance of Sewage Sludge Treatment and Electricity Generation by Different Configuration Microbial Fuel Cells

This paper compared the degradation efficiency of sludge organic matters and electric-production by two typical microbial fuel cells——dual-chamber microbial fuel cell(DMFC)and single chamber air cathode microbial fuel cell(SAMFC),and the variations of sludge protein,polysaccharide and ammonia nitrogen within the systems were also investigated.The results showed that the concentration of sludge soluble chemical oxygen demand,protein and carbohydrate of DMFC are higher than these of SAMFC during the systems operation,while DMFC can achieve a better ammonia nitrogen removal than SAMFC.Under the same operation condition,the stable voltage output of DMFC and SAMFC is 0.61 V and 0.37 V;the maximum power density of DMFC and SAMFC is 2.79 W/m3and 1.25 W/m3;TCOD removal efficiency of DMFC and SAMFC is 34.14%and 28.63%for 12 d,respectively.Meanwhile,DMFC has a higher coulomb efficiency than SAMFC,but both are less than5%.The results showed that DMFC present a better performance on sludge degradation and electric-production.     

The oxidation state of sulfur detected in Na2O-CaO-SiO2 float glass by X-ray absorption near edge structure spectra

The oxidation state of sulfur is detected in Na2O-CaO-SiO2 float glass by synchrotron radiation X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra at the sulfur K edge. The measured spectra show the only presence of S6+ in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2 float glass and the oxidation state of sulfur do not change with the increase of glass depth. It is also found that, after the melt has gone through the molten tin bath, the S6+ is the dominant species, but S2- is also present on both surfaces. It is not certain whether cation bonds to S2- or not, because there are many cations dissolved in the melted tin which makes the spectrum complicated.
