Title: Reciprocal convex approach to output‐feedback control of uncertain LPV systems with fast‐varying input delay
Summary

Robust control of parameter‐dependent input delay linear parameter‐varying (LPV) systems via gain‐scheduled dynamic output‐feedback control is considered in this paper. The controller is designed to provide disturbance rejection in the context of the induced‐norm or thenorm of the closed‐loop system in the presence of uncertainty and disturbances. A reciprocally convex approach is employed to bound the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional derivative and extract sufficient conditions for the controller characterization in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The approach does not require the rate of the delay to be bounded, hence encompasses a broader family of input‐delay LPV systems with fast‐varying delays. The method is then applied to the air‐fuel ratio (AFR) control in spark ignition (SI) engines where the delay and the plant parameters are functions of the engine speed and mass air flow. The objectives are to track the commanded AFR signal and to optimize the performance of the three‐way catalytic converter (TWC) through the precise AFR control and oxygen level regulation, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. The designed AFR controller seeks to provide canister purge disturbance rejection over the full operating envelope of the SI engine in the presence of uncertainties. Closed‐loop simulation results are presented to validate the controller performance and robustness while meeting AFR tracking and disturbance rejection requirements.

  1. In this study, a wireless powered dual‐hop relay system, which consists of a source, a destination and a relay that is equipped with() receiving antennas and finite energy storage, is considered. Antenna selection scheme is employed for the relay to harvest energy from the received signals, under which the() strongest received signals are combined for information processing and the othercopies of signals are used for energy harvesting. Considering Nakagami‐mfading scenarios, the authors first derive the closed‐form expressions for the probability density function and the cumulative distribution function of the signal‐to‐noise ratio with generalised selection combining (GSC), and then the exact and asymptotic analytical expressions for outage probability are derived, respectively. Finally, simulation results are presented to verify the proposed analysis model.

  2. Abstract

    In this paper, we are interested in the following question: given an arbitrary Steiner triple systemonvertices and any 3‐uniform hypertreeonvertices, is it necessary thatcontainsas a subgraph provided? We show the answer is positive for a class of hypertrees and conjecture that the answer is always positive.

    We prove that a WLD subspace of the spaceconsisting of all bounded, countably supported functions on a set Γ embeds isomorphically intoif and only if it does not contain isometric copies of. Moreover, a subspace ofis constructed that has an unconditional basis, does not embed into, and whose every weakly compact subset is separable (in particular, it cannot contain any isomorphic copies of).

  4. The Cable equation is one of the most fundamental equations for modeling neuronal dynamics. In this article, we consider a high order compact finite difference numerical solution for the fractional Cable equation, which is a generalization of the classical Cable equation by taking into account the anomalous diffusion in the movement of the ions in neuronal system. The resulting finite difference scheme is unconditionally stable and converges with the convergence order ofin maximum norm, 1‐norm and 2‐norm. Furthermore, we present a fast solution technique to accelerate Toeplitz matrix‐vector multiplications arising from finite difference discretization. This fast solution technique is based on a fast Fourier transform and depends on the special structure of coefficient matrices, and it helps to reduce the computational work fromrequired by traditional methods towithout using any lossy compression, whereandτis the size of time step,andhis the size of space step. Moreover, we give a compact finite difference scheme and consider its stability analysis for two‐dimensional fractional Cable equation. The applicability and accuracy of the scheme are demonstrated by numerical experiments to support our theoretical analysis.

    It is proved that for every countable structureand a computable successor ordinal α there is a countable structurewhich is‐least among all countable structuressuch thatis Σ‐definable in the αth jump. We also show that this result does not hold for the limit ordinal. Moreover, we prove that there is no countable structurewith the degree spectrumfor.
