This paper concerns the problem of optimal switching control in voltage converter circuits, where the objective is to minimize a cost-performance function comprised of the sum of a tracking-related measure and the switching energy. Most of the existing approaches to optimal switching are based on continuous-parameter optimization and optimal control techniques, which are mostly suitable to continuous-parameter functions such as tracking-related performance metrics. On the other hand, the switching-energy cost performance is inherently a discontinuous function dependent on the number of switchings, and hence its inclusion in the problem often is done in ad-hoc ways. This paper explores a systematic approach to optimizing performance - energy tradeoffs by extending an algorithm for optimizing tracking, developed by the authors, to include the energy performance via an averaging technique. The problem is posed in the setting of Pulse Width Modulation, and the controlled variables are the cycle time and duty ratios at each cycle. Extensive simulation results suggest the potential generality of the proposed approach.
With the advent of low-cost and high-resolution digital cameras and sophisticated editing software, it is becoming increasingly easier to tamper with the digital image. A common form of manipulation is to combine part...

In the past few years we have developed an algorithmic framework for optimal control of switched-mode hybrid dynamical systems. Such systems are described by the equation x = f(x, v), (1) where x ∈ R~n, x_0 : = x(0) is given, v belongs to a finite set V (is contained in) R, and f : R~n × V → R~n is a function that is continuously differentiable in x for every v ∈ V. Let L : R~n → R be a function, and consider the cost functional J, defined as J = ∫_0~(t_f) L(x(t))dt, (2) for a given final time t_f > 0. The problem that we consider is to minimize J.

In this paper, we address the problem of selecting leaders in a network by investigating how much instantaneous impact the leaders have on the remaining agents. As a measurement of the influence of leaders' inputs, we exploit the notion of manipulability, which is recently developed for leader-follower networks driven by a state-dependent weighted consensus equation. This paper first extends the manipulability index in order to measure the influence of leaders' inputs on the network centroid. We then demonstrate in simulation how the manipulability index is suitable for selecting effective leaders.
In an acoustic imaging system, ultrasonic transmitters always have uneven signal strength in the imaging space. Phase changes also occur depending on the distance and direction. In this paper, a new approach to decrea...
