Identification and U-control of a state-space system with time-delay

This article presents a state-space model with time-delay to map the relationship between known input-output data for discrete systems. For the given input-output data, a model identification algorithm combining parameter estimation and state estimation is proposed in line with the causality constraints. Consequently, this article proposes a least squares parameter estimation algorithm, and analyzes its convergence for the studied systems to prove that the parameter estimation errors converge to zero under the persistent excitation conditions. In control system design, the U-model based control is introduced to provide a unilateral platform to improve the design efficiency and generality. A simulation portfolio from modeling to control is provided with computational experiments to validate the derived results.     

Maximum likelihood-based adaptive differential evolution identification algorithm for multivariable systems in the state-space form

Parameter estimation plays an important role in the field of system control. This article is concerned with the parameter estimation methods for multivariable systems in the state-space form. For the sake of solving the identification complexity caused by a large number of parameters in multivariable systems, we decompose the original multivariable system into some subsystems containing fewer parameters and study identification algorithms to estimate the parameters of each subsystem. By taking the maximum likelihood criterion function as the fitness function of the differential evolution algorithm, we present a maximum likelihood-based differential evolution (ML-DE) algorithm for parameter estimation. To improve the parameter estimation accuracy, we introduce the adaptive mutation factor and the adaptive crossover factor into the ML-DE algorithm and propose a maximum likelihood-based adaptive differential evolution algorithm. The simulation study indicates the efficiency of the proposed algorithms.     

Non-pinched, minimum energy distillation designs

Non-pinched, minimum energy solutions are important class of distillation designs that offer the potential advantage of a better trade-off between capital investment and operating costs. In this paper, two important tasks associated with non-pinched distillation designs are studied. Thus the novel contributions of this work to the literature are

(1) A comprehensive methodology for finding non-pinched minimum energy designs.

(2) Understanding of the reasons for the existence of non-pinched distillation designs.

It is shown that the recent shortest stripping line distance approach of Lucia et al. [Lucia, A., Amale, A. and Taylor, R., 2007, Distillation pinch points and more. Comput Chem Eng, available on-line] is capable of systematically and reliably finding non-pinched, minimum energy distillation designs. In addition, we provide an understanding of the reasons behind the existence of non-pinched designs, which include trajectories that follow unstable branches of a pinch point curve in azeotropic systems, the inherent looping structure of trajectories in hydrocarbon separations, and the presence of ancillary constraints in multi-unit processes like extraction/distillation. Several distillation examples are studied and many numerical results and geometric illustrations are presented that show the shortest stripping line distance methodology is indeed a powerful and systematic tool for computing non-pinched, minimum energy designs and that support the underlying reason we provide for the existence of non-pinched designs.

基于地震道时频分析的地层结构解析原理和方法

 地震时频分析是通过对地震信号采用多种数学变换，实现从时频域角度对信号的局部特征进行分解，剖析信号细微特征所对应的地层结构。在应用地震时频分析技术过程中，人们对于这项技术能否真正有效地解决实际地质问题存在许多争论。本文从时频原理综合分析的角度出发，对地震道时频谱中各种频率特性参数和时频旋回直接转化成对地层结构逐级、分步的解析方法进行了较深入的探讨。研究认为时频分析原理不仅是对地震数据进行特殊数学变换，实现对信号的分解，而且充分利用了地层厚度的调谐效应及岩性调谐效应；时频谱与地质结构特征之间的良好响应关系为地震地质精细解释提供了直观的依据。     

具有迭代结构的时频分布计算方法

本文讨论了时频分布中的迭代算法的问题.通过选择特殊的计算窗口,时频分布的迭代运算形式能够有效地利用前面数据段的分析结果,从而避免了重复性的运算,使得计算效率得到提高.本文对原有的利用单边窗口的时频分布迭代算法的性能进行了分析,提出了采用对称型窗口的迭代计算形式.与单边窗口相比,双边形式的计算窗口不但可以有效地提高时频表示精度,同时还能够更为准确的表示信号的瞬时频率.文章对各项理论分析结果提供了相应的仿真实验结果.
