Selected AbstractsAutomatic tuning of L2 -SVM parameters employing the extended Kalman filterEXPERT SYSTEMS, Issue 2 2009Tingting Mu Abstract: We show that tuning of multiple parameters for a 2-norm support vector machine (L2 -SVM) could be viewed as an identification problem of a nonlinear dynamic system. Benefiting from the reachable smooth nonlinearity of an L2 -SVM, we propose to employ the extended Kalman filter to tune the kernel and regularization parameters automatically for the L2 -SVM. The proposed method is validated using three public benchmark data sets and compared with the gradient descent approach as well as the genetic algorithm in measures of classification accuracy and computing time. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in higher classification accuracies, faster training speed and less sensitivity to the initial settings. [source] A fractional adaptation law for sliding mode controlINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, Issue 10 2008Mehmet Önder Efe Abstract This paper presents a novel parameter tuning law that forces the emergence of a sliding motion in the behavior of a multi-input multi-output nonlinear dynamic system. Adaptive linear elements are used as controllers. Standard approach to parameter adjustment employs integer order derivative or integration operators. In this paper, the use of fractional differentiation or integration operators for the performance improvement of adaptive sliding mode control systems is presented. Hitting in finite time is proved and the associated conditions with numerical justifications are given. The proposed technique has been assessed through a set of simulations considering the dynamic model of a two degrees of freedom direct drive robot. It is seen that the control system with the proposed adaptation scheme provides (i) better tracking performance, (ii) suppression of undesired drifts in parameter evolution, (iii) a very high degree of robustness and improved insensitivity to disturbances and (iv) removal of the controller initialization problem.

[source] Nonlinear Laguerre,Volterra observer-controller and its application to process controlINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 4 2010Hai-Tao Zhang Abstract By expanding each kernel using the orthonormal Laguerre series, a Volterra functional series is used to represent the input/output relation of a nonlinear dynamic system. With the feedback of the modeling error, we design a novel nonlinear state observer, based on which an output feedback controller is derived for both the stabilization and tracking problems. The stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed theoretically. The algorithm is effectively applied on the continuous stirring tank reactor and chemical reactor temperature control system.

The proposed method directly computes the critical trajectory for a given contingency to obtain the critical condition of the studied system. Although the method may be useful for general nonlinear dynamic systems, it is applied to the problem of obtaining a controlling UEP, unstable equilibrium point, which provides inevitable information for the energy function methods to assess transient stability. Namely, the proposed method effectively yields a critical trajectory on PEBS together with the controlling UEP, thus improving the conventional BCU method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in 3-machine 9-bus and 6-machine 30-bus systems. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An appropriate Lyapunov,Krasovskii-type functional is introduced to design the adaptation algorithms, and to prove stability. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Clustering multivariate time-series dataJOURNAL OF CHEMOMETRICS, Issue 8 2005Ashish Singhal Abstract A new methodology for clustering multivariate time-series data is proposed. The new methodology is based on calculating the degree of similarity between multivariate time-series datasets using two similarity factors. One similarity factor is based on principal component analysis and the angles between the principal component subspaces while the other is based on the Mahalanobis distance between the datasets. The standard K -means clustering algorithm is modified to cluster multivariate time-series datasets using similarity factors. Simulation data from two nonlinear dynamic systems: a batch fermentation and a continuous exothermic chemical reactor, are clustered to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique. Comparisons with existing clustering methods show several advantages of the proposed method. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Transformative Processes in Marriage: An Analysis of Emerging TrendsJOURNAL OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY, Issue 2 2007Frank D. Fincham The study of conflict has dominated psychological research on marriage. This article documents its move from center stage, outlining how a broader canvas accommodates a richer picture of marriage. A brief sampling of new constructs such as forgiveness and sacrifice points to an organizing theme of transformative processes in emerging marital research. The implications of marital transformations are explored including spontaneous remission of distress, nonlinear dynamic systems that may produce unexpected and discontinuous change, possible nonarbitrary definitions of marital discord, and the potential for developing other constructs related to self-transformation in marital research. [source] Deterministic global optimization of nonlinear dynamic systemsAICHE JOURNAL, Issue 4 2007Youdong Lin Abstract A new approach is described for the deterministic global optimization of dynamic systems, including optimal control problems. The method is based on interval analysis and Taylor models and employs a type of sequential approach. A key feature of the method is the use of a new validated solver for parametric ODEs, which is used to produce guaranteed bounds on the solutions of dynamic systems with interval-valued parameters. This is combined with a new technique for domain reduction based on the use of Taylor models in an efficient constraint propagation scheme. The result is that an ,-global optimum can be found with both mathematical and computational certainty. Computational studies on benchmark problems are presented showing that this new approach provides significant improvements in computational efficiency, well over an order of magnitude in most cases, relative to other recently described methods. © 2007 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2007 [source] Recursive identification for dynamic systems with backlash,ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 1 2010Ruili Dong Abstract A recursive algorithm for identification of nonlinear dynamic systems with backlash is proposed in this paper. In this method, the backlash, which is a non-smooth function, is decomposed into a combination of a group of piecewise linearized models so that all the parameters of the backlash can be estimated separately. Moreover, the model of the backlash is embedded into a Hammerstein-type model. Thus, a pseudo-Hammerstein model with backlash is constructed. The estimation of the parameters for such a non-smooth nonlinear system can be implemented through a so-called recursive general identification algorithm (RGIA). Then, the corresponding convergence analysis of the RGIA for the model with backlash is also investigated. After that, two examples are presented to show the performance of the proposed method. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society [source] Energy absorption capacity; a new concept for stability analysis of nonlinear dynamic systems,ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 1 2009Ali Akbar Jamshidifar Abstract Stability is the main concern considered for every system. Generally the well-known Lyapunov and input-output stability methods are utilized for the stability analysis of nonlinear systems. These methods face serious difficulties as the size and complexity of the systems increases. In this paper a new approach is presented to overcome this problem by introducing a new concept "Energy Absorption Capacity" (EAC) for every component. The EAC of the system can be derived from its component EACs considering their interaction. It is shown that the stability of every individual component is assured if its EAC has a positive value. The proposed approach is less conservative compared to a Lyapunov-based approach. This is due to its reliance on EAC as the extreme value of energy function rather than the function itself. Some examples are given to support the proposed approach. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society [source] | |||||||||||||
