Robust Input Covariance Constraint Control for Uncertain Polytopic Systems

In this paper, the robust input covariance constraint (ICC) control problem with polytopic uncertainty is solved using convex optimization with linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. The ICC control problem is an optimal control problem that optimizes the output performance subjected to multiple constraints on the input covariance matrices. This control problem has significant practical implications when hard constraints need to be satisfied on control actuators. The contribution of this paper is the characterization of the control synthesis LMIs used to solve the robust ICC control problem for polytopic uncertain systems. Both continuous‐ and discrete‐time systems are considered. Parameter‐dependent and independent Lyapunov functions have been used for robust ICC controller synthesis. Numerical design examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Multi-sensor information fusion estimators for stochastic uncertain systems with correlated noises

The information fusion estimation problems are investigated for multi-sensor stochastic uncertain systems with correlated noises. The stochastic uncertainties caused by correlated multiplicative noises exist in the state and observation matrices. The process noise and the observation noises are one-step auto-correlated and two-step cross-correlated, respectively. While the observation noises of different sensors are one-step cross-correlated. The optimal centralized fusion filter, predictor and smoother are proposed in the linear minimum variance sense via an innovative analysis approach. To enhance the robustness and flexibility, a distributed fusion filter is put forward, which requires the calculation of filtering error cross-covariance matrices between any two local filters. To avoid the calculation of cross-covariance matrices, another distributed fusion filter is also presented by using the covariance intersection (CI) fusion algorithm, which can reduce the computational cost. A simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

有19-(4,f)型自同构的二元自对偶码

应用二元自对偶码可看成几个自对偶码的直和理论,研究了具有19-(4,f)型自同构、码长在100以内的的二元自对偶码。这种对偶码都可看成一个码长为4的收缩码和GF(2)n上一些偶重量多项式的直和。证明了码长大于80且小于100时,不存在19-(4,f)型的二元自对偶码。根据码长较短的自对偶码分别构造出了码长为76、78和80的二元自对偶码,并给出其生成矩阵。由码的等价得到了这几类码可能的分类情况。运行Matlab程序,证明了具有19-(4,2)型和19-(4,4)型的二元自对偶码在等价情况下都有11个,19-(4,0)型的二元自对偶码在等价情况下是不存在的。     

基于SAM-CS和SOFM的胃上皮肿瘤细胞图像识别

针对胃上皮肿瘤细胞图像(以下简称肿瘤细胞图像)黏结严重和信息冗余的特点,提出了一种将自适应观测矩阵的压缩感知(SAM-CS)和自组织特征映射(SOFM)神经网络相结合的算法。该算法将肿瘤细胞图像拉成列向量,然后利用通过自适应过程产生的观测矩阵,基于压缩感知理论对图像信息进行观测,产生线性观测向量,最后利用SOFM神经网络的学习算法对观测向量进行训练和分类,实现对肿瘤细胞图像的识别。实验表明,相比常用算法,该算法至少提高了4.2%的识别准确率和5.7%的运算速度。     

Exponential stability of stochastic singular delay systems with general Markovian switchings

In recent years, Markovian jump systems have received much attention. However, there are very few results on the stability of stochastic singular systems with Markovian switching. In this paper, the discussed system is the stochastic singular delay system with general transition rate matrix in terms of uncertain and partially unknown transition rate matrix. The aim is to answer the question whether there are conditions guaranteeing the underlying system having a unique solution and being exponentially admissible simultaneously. The proposed results show that all the features of the underlying system such as time delay, diffusion, and general Markovian switchings play important roles in the system analysis of exponential admissibility. A numerical example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Less conservative stability criteria for linear systems with interval time‐varying delays

The problem of the stability of a linear system with an interval time‐varying delay is investigated. A new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional that fully uses information about the lower bound of the time‐varying delay is constructed to derive new stability criteria. It is proved that the proposed Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional can lead to less conservative results than some existing ones. Based on the proposed Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, two stability conditions are developed using two different methods to estimate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional's derivative. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate that the two stability conditions are complementary and yield a larger maximum upper bound of the time‐varying delay than some existing results.

Study of a Class of Almost‐controllable Discrete‐time Bilinear Systems

This paper studies the controllability of a class of time‐invariant discrete‐time bilinear systems. Although the system is not controllable in the whole space, there is a very large region where control is effective. Results show that the uncontrollable region of this kind of bilinear system has a Lebesgue measure of zero. In other words, for almost any initial state and any terminal state in the state space, the former can be transferred to the latter. Further, a necessary condition for near controllability is presented. Therefore, the results in this paper unify and generalize the corresponding conclusions in the literature. ©2014 Chinese Automatic Control Society and Wiley Publishing Asia Pty Ltd
