The problem of robust H/spl infin/ filtering for continuous-time uncertain linear systems with multiple time-varying delays in the state variables is investigated. The uncertain parameters are supposed to belong to a given convex bounded polyhedral domain. The aim is to design a stable linear filter assuring asymptotic stability and a prescribed H/spl infin/ performance level for the filtering error system, irrespective of the uncertainties and the time delays. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such a filter are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which can be efficiently solved by means of powerful convex programming tools with global convergence assured. An example illustrates the proposed methodology.

Recent years has seen much progress in the theory and application of iterative learning control schemes for both linear and (classes of) nonlinear dynamics. In the case of the former, many algorithms based on minimizing a suitable cost function have been reported. Here the interest is in the so-called norm optimal approach where the basic philosophy is to compute the control input on the current trial such that the tracking error is reduced in an optimal way without too much deviation from the control input used on the previous trial. This paper compares the performance of a range of controllers arising from use of the norm optimal approach - both stand alone and against alternatives.

A nonlinear fuzzy backstepping controller is presented for set-point regulation of a pneumatic muscle actuator. Inflation and deflation are the two possible modes of operation of this actuator. Three fuzzy sets, one for each of both modes and one for the transition region, are considered. Each fuzzy set is associated with a local backstepping controller. At the inflation and deflation regimes, the associated controllers are exact backstepping controllers, whereas a robust nonlinear backstepping controller is used at the transition regime and deals with regime uncertainty. The use of fuzzy membership functions provides a smooth controller. The closed-loop system is globally and ultimately bounded.

We develop a new software layer called the Automatic Parallel Detection Layer (APDL) for the automatic transformation from sequential to parallel code. The main interest, in this research, is the parallelism at loop level, because significant parallelism in programs almost invariably occurs in loops. The proposed APDL has five processes for code transformation: the sequential source code parser, data dependence analysis of this code, partitioning, scheduling both task and data, and generating parallel source code. Many cases have been studied to evaluate the performance of the developed layer. The performance is evaluated depending on the execution time of: the sequential code, the parallel programmer code, and the code output from APDL for the same case study. Performance results show that APDL greatly improves the execution time with respect to sequential execution time, and saves on the high cost of a parallel programmer.

This paper generalizes the geometric representation of membership functions comprising a finite number of characteristic points. An extended class of membership functions, satisfying certain monotonicity conditions, can now be expressed as elements in the space of square integrable functions. Specifically, bell-shaped membership functions, which were not possible before, can now be accommodated with this generalized representation. An example interpolation problem, treated using both the finite-dimensional approach and the generalized approach, is included for illustration.
The extended Kalman filter is known to have excellent filtering characteristics, but its convergence is guaranteed only if it is initialized close enough to the true state value. Numerical differentiation based observ...

Single phase switched reluctance machines (SRMs) have a special place in the emerging high-volume, low-cost and low-performance applications in appliances and also in high-speed low-power motor drives in various industrial applications. Single phase SRMs have a number of drawbacks: low power density as they have only 50% utilization of windings, lack of self-starting feature unless otherwise built in to the machine, most of the time with permanent magnets or sometimes with distinct and special machine rotor configurations or additional mechanisms. Many of these approaches are expensive or make the manufacturing process more difficult. In order to overcome such disadvantages, a method involving interpoles and windings is proposed in this paper. The proposed structure also provides four-quadrant operational capability with an appropriate converter. In addition to the proposed single phase SRM topology, a new and novel converter topology requiring only a single switch and a single diode is proposed. This enables for the first time a compact and low-cost single phase SRM. The present configuration, in addition, enables rotor position sensorless operation of the proposed single SRM drive system. Experimental results of the proposed SRM drive system are included.

The emitter turn-off thyristor (ETO) is a new MOS-controlled thyristor that is suitable for use in high-power converters due to its improved switching performance and easy control. This paper analyzes the abnormal failures related to the parasitic diode of the ETO in high-frequency converters for the first time. To prevent this failure, several solutions are proposed and improved ETOs are developed. Experimental results show that the proposed solutions can properly solve this problem.

Discrete linear repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D linear systems with applications in areas ranging from long-wall coal cutting through to iterative learning control schemes. The main feature which makes them distinct from other classes of 2D linear systems is that information propagation in one of the two distinct directions only occurs over a finite duration. We give an LMI based interpretation of stability for the sub-class of so-called discrete linear repetitive processes, both open loop and closed loop under a well defined practically relevant control law, and then apply this theory to solve currently open problems relating to robustness and stability margins for these processes. Also it is shown that the LMI approach to the computation of the stability margins for these processes can be combined with a concept of a pole for them to link these margins to expected performance-a key feature which is missing from the analysis of stability margins currently available in the 2D systems literature.
