This paper studies the decentralized H-infinity control problem for a class of compartmental networks, where the controller gain matrix is required to be diagonal and elementwise restricted. To solve the problem, we first propose a novel characterization under which the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H-infinity performance. Then, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a required controller is obtained, and an iterative linear matrix inequality approach is developed to solve the design condition. Moreover, a D-K iteration method is presented to optimize the initial value such that the solvability of the original problem can be further enhanced. Finally, the obtained results are illustrated through an application to a simple air traffic flow network model.

An accurate approach of the instantaneous undeformed chip thickness is a key issue for analyzing milling process. The presented models for approximating instantaneous undeformed chip thickness are oversimplified and complex for use in academic and manufacture practice. In this paper, a new model for determining the undeformed chip thickness in milling process with higher accuracy is proposed. According to the true trochoid path of tool tooth, the true instantaneous undeformed chip thickness can be derived by solving the deduced transcendental equation. An iterational algorithm is used to approach the value in the transcendental equation with infinitesimal calculation error. Our main contributions include that the accurate positions of the geometric points of the undeformed chip profile with different level of width of cut are analyzed and derived, as well as the accurate undeformed chip thicknesses of the chip cross-section profile are approached by iterative algorithm. Case studies with different parameter combinations show that the new model has a higher accuracy compared with the presented models. With this innovative approach, a method of accurate prediction of the geometric profile and thickness of the undeformed chip profile in milling process is provided.

A deterministic annealing algorithm is proposed for approximating a solution of the linearly constrained nonconvex quadratic minimization problem. The algorithm is derived from applications of a Hopfield-type barrier function in dealing with box constraints and Lagrange multipliers in handling linear equality constraints, and attempts to obtain a solution of good quality by generating a minimum point of a barrier problem for a sequence of descending values of the barrier parameter. For any given value of the barrier parameter, the algorithm searches for a minimum point of the barrier problem in a feasible descent direction, which has a desired property that the box constraints are always satisfied automatically if the step length is a number between zero and one. At each iteration, the feasible descent direction is found by updating Lagrange multipliers with a globally convergent iterative procedure. For any given value of the barrier parameter, the algorithm converges to a stationary point of the barrier problem. Preliminary numerical results show that the algorithm seems effective and efficient. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new compressed sensing (CS) image reconstruction method is proposed for high-resolution wideband three-dimensional synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging systems. In contrast to existing CS SAR methods that employ only a forward SAR transform in pre- or post-processing, the proposed method employs both forward SAR and reverse SAR (R-SAR) transforms in each CS iteration to improve the quality of reconstructed images. This study proposes a simple and elegant truncation repair method to combat the truncation error and utilises non-uniform fast Fourier transform to reduce the SAR and R-SAR transform errors, thereby ensuring the convergence of the CS algorithm and improving the quality of the reconstructed images. The proposed CS SAR method is applied to microwave and millimeter wave imaging systems for non-destructive evaluation of materials embedded in stratified media. Three different specimens under test are measured by conventional uniform sampling and by random under-sampling with 20% or 30% spatial points of the uniform sampling. The reconstructed images show that, albeit having much less measurement points, the proposed CS method achieves better image quality and lower background artefacts than the images reconstructed from the fully-sampled uniform measurements.

This paper presents a novel iterative calibration algorithm for triaxial magnetometers. The proposed algorithm estimates and compensates the effects of deterministic interference parameters using only nine distinct measurements. The results of our extensive simulations and empirical evaluations confirm that the proposed method outperforms conventional ellipsoid fitting based models both in terms of accuracy and reliability even in the presence of a moderate wideband noise. The algorithm also achieves considerably faster convergence, which makes it suitable for real-time applications. The algorithm performance is also shown to be independent of the initial guesses of the interference parameters.

In this paper, we develop a new approach for the iterative refinement algorithm along with fully mathematical justificationS, which sharpens matrix solution upper bounds for the well-known continuous coupled algebraic Riccati equation (CCARE). Our methodology is studied within a broader framework recently proposed in Xu (in press). Several desirable properties of the algorithm are then established, which include the strict monotonicity and convergence of the sequences generated by the algorithm, thus strengthening the existing results in the literature for computing tighter matrix upper solution bounds for the CCARE. In addition, new admissibility conditions within the general framework are proposed, which guarantee tighter matrix upper solution bounds to be computed from the algorithm. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

In this paper, we propose two parametric alternatives to the standard GJR-GARCH model of Glosten et al. (1993), based on additive and multiplicative decompositions of the variance. They allow the variance of the model to have a smooth time-varying structure. The suggested parameterizations describe structural change in the conditional and unconditional variances where the transition between regimes over time is smooth. The main focus is on the multiplicative decomposition of the variance into an unconditional and conditional components. Estimation of the multiplicative model is discussed in detail. An empirical application to daily stock returns illustrates the functioning of the model. The results show that the 'long memory type behaviour' of the sample autocorrelation functions of the absolute returns can also be explained by deterministic changes in the unconditional variance.

The parallel linear equations solver capable of effectively using 1000+ processors becomes the bottleneck of large-scale implicit engineering simulations. In this paper, we present a new hierarchical parallel master-slave-structural iterative algorithm for the solution of super large-scale sparse linear equations in a distributed memory computer cluster. Through alternatively performing global equilibrium computation and local relaxation, the specific accuracy requirement can be met in a few iterations. Moreover, each set/slave-processor majorly communicates with its nearest neighbors, and the transferring data between sets/slave-processors and the master-processor is always far below the communication between neighboring sets/slave-processors. The corresponding algorithm for implicit finite element analysis has been implemented based on the MPI library, and a super large 2-dimension square system of triangle-lattice truss structure under randomly distributed loadings is simulated with over 1 x 10(9) degrees of freedom (DOF) on up to 2001 processors of the "Exploration 100" cluster in Tsinghua University. The numerical experiments demonstrate that this algorithm has excellent parallel efficiency and high scalability, and it may have broad applications in other implicit simulations.
