We consider the effect of parametric uncertainty on properties of Linear Time Invariant systems. Traditional approaches to this problem determine the worst-case gains of the system over the uncertainty set. Whilst such approaches are computationally tractable, the upper bound obtained is not necessarily informative in terms of assessing the influence of the parameters on the system performance. We present theoretical results that lead to simple, convex algorithms producing parametric bounds on the ℒ 2 -induced input-to-output and state-to-output gains as a function of the uncertain parameters. These bounds provide quantitative information about how the uncertainty affects the system.

This paper proposes an approach to algorithmically synthesize control strategies for set-to-set transitions of discrete-time uncertain systems based on reachable set computations in a stochastic setting. For given Gaussian distributions of the initial states and disturbances, state sets wich are reachable to a chosen confidence level under the effect of time-variant control laws are computed by using principles of the ellipsoidal calculus. The proposed algorithm iterates over LMI-constrained semi-definite programming problems to compute probabilistically stabilizing controllers, while ellipsoidal input constraints are considered. An example for illustration is included.

The problem of optimal sparse output feedback control design for continuous linear time invariant systems is considered. This work adopts the concept of % p -approximation to develop an optimization algorithm capable of synthesizing a structured sparse static controller gain for which the overall closed loop system exhibits empirical frequency characteristics resembling that of the system controlled with a pre-designed centralized controller. We, moreover, modify our optimization problem so that the control signal generated by the sparse controller falls into the vicinity of the centralized control input, in the sense of L norm. Furthermore, we show that our optimization problem can be equivalently reformulated into a rank constrained problem for which we propose to use a tailored version of Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) as a computationally efficient algorithm to sub-optimally solve it. Finally, we illuminate the effectiveness of our proposed method by testing it on randomly generated sample network models.

The problem of node localization in a wireless sensor network (WSN) with the use of the incomplete and noisy distance measurements between nodes as well as anchor position information is currently an an important yet challenging research topic. Most WSN localization studies at present have assumed that the anchor positions are perfectly known which is not valid in the underwater and underground scenarios. In this paper, semi-definite programming (SDP) algorithms are devised for finding the localizations of unknown-position nodes in the presence of anchor position uncertainty. Computer simulations are included to contrast the performance of the proposed algorithms with the conventional SDP method and Cramer-Rao lower bound.

The brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) cancels brushes on the basis of the doubly-fed induction generator by adding a set of stator and rotor windings to guarantee higher reliability. However this also leads to more complicated coupling and more difficulties of parameter measurement. This paper proposes a new and experiment-based method for BDFIG parameter estimation. With this method, currents and voltages under several simple and stable conditions are measured and the parameters required for modeling and control can be calculated. This paper discusses the basic principles and the estimation process of the proposed method in detail. A group of experiment data from a 64kW BDFIG is also used to illustrate the estimation procedure. The estimated parameters are then substituted into the mathematical simulation model and compared with the experimental results. Both steady and dynamic waveforms are well matched, which implies the accuracy of the estimated parameters. The proposed method could also be applied to other types of machines to achieve better control.

semi-supervised learning has been an attractive research tool for using unlabeled data in pattern recognition. Applying a novel semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation strategy to a class of continuous semi-supervised support vector machines ((SVMs)-V-3), a new convex relaxation framework for the (SVMs)-V-3 is proposed based on SDP. Compared with other SDP relaxations for (SVMs)-V-3, the proposed methods only require solving the primal problems and can implement L-1-norm regularization. Furthermore, the proposed technique is applied directly to recognize the purity of hybrid maize seeds using near-infrared spectral data, from which we find that the proposed method achieves equivalent performance to the exact solution algorithm for solving the (SVM)-V-3 in different spectral regions. Experiments on several benchmark data sets demonstrate that the proposed convex technique is competitive with other SDP relaxation methods for solving semi-supervised SVMs in generalization.

The mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) reformulation by Zheng, Sun, Li, and Cui (2012) for probabilistically constrained quadratic programs (PCQP) recently published in EJOR significantly dominates the standard MIQP formulation (Ruszczynski, 2002: Benati & Rizzi, 2007) which has been widely adopted in the literature. Stimulated by the dimensionality problem which Zheng et al. (2012) acknowledge themselves for their reformulations, we study further the characteristics of PCQP and develop new MIQP reformulations for PCQP with fewer variables and constraints. The results from numerical tests demonstrate that our reformulations clearly outperform the state-of-the-art MIQP in Zheng et al. (2012). (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Given a set of wireless links, a fundamental problem is to find the largest subset that can transmit simultaneously, within the SINR model of interference. Significant progress on this problem has been made in recent years. In this note, we study the problem in the setting where we are given a fixed set of arbitrary powers each sender must use, and an arbitrary gain matrix defining how signals fade. This variation of the problem appears immune to most algorithmic approaches studied in the literature. Indeed it is very hard to approximate since it generalizes the max independent set problem. Here, we propose a simple semi-definite programming approach to the problem that yields constant factor approximation, if the optimal solution is strictly larger than half of the input size.

In this paper, we consider a two-way relay network with two sources and multiple cooperative relays in the presence of an eavesdropper. To guarantee the secrecy, a null space beamforming scheme is applied, where the relay beamforming vector lies in the nullspace of the equivalent channel of relay link from two sources to the eavesdropper. Our goal is to obtain the optimal beamforming vector as well as two sources' transmit power subject to various criteria. We propose three different approaches and solve them in an alternating iterative way, where subproblems for solving beamforming and sources' power are formulated in each iteration, respectively. First, we minimize the total transmit power under secrecy rate constraint at two sources. For beamforming vector subproblem, two different methods, semi-definite programming (SDP) and sequential quadratic programming (SQP), are proposed, where we analyze and verify SQP has lower complexity than SDP. Second, we maximize the secrecy sum rate, subject to total transmit power constraint. The beamforming vector subproblem is equivalent to a generalized Rayleigh quotient problem with rank constraint. Third, the problem of minimum per-user secrecy rate maximization under the total power constraint is investigated for user fairness. An iterative procedure utilizing the SDP with bisection search method is proposed to solve beamforming subproblem. In each approach the subproblem with two sources' power is formulated as a single variable problem and solved by Newton's method with line search. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of proposed approaches and algorithms for both symmetric and asymmetric scenarios.

Rank-constrained nearest correlation matrix problems, weighted or not, are reformulated into difference of convex (DC) functions constrained optimization problems. A general sequential convex approximation (SCA) approach for a DC-constrained optimization problem is developed. To overcome difficulties encountered in solving the convex approximation subproblems in the SCA approach, an SCA-based nonsmooth equation approach is proposed to solve the specific rank-constrained problem. In this approach, we use a simple iteration scheme for updating the multiplier variable corresponding to the rank constraint, and an inexact smoothing Newton method for calculating the primal variable and the multiplier variable corresponding to the linear constraint. Numerical experiments are reported and they illustrate the efficiency of our approach.
