This paper proposes a recursive method of constructing weak-control-Lyapunov functions for nonlinear systems. Lyapunov function is one of effective tools to study stability and stabilization in nonlinear system control design. However, a general way of finding Lyapunov functions has not been known yet. Our method is introduced by an explicit topological-geometric assumption for a state space manifold, called a Morse-Smale. The assumption indicates that there exists a sequence of inclusions of the manifold and its singular structures, called a weak-Lyapunov filtration. From this structure, we can construct a finite number of iterations to define weak-control-Lyapunov functions. As a result, the existence of the weak-control-Lyapunov functions can be specified by the investigation of property of manifolds.

The general appearance of a plant is the most obvious indicator of its physiological well-being. This study was premised on the assumption that image roughness values can be used to quantify wellbeing in plants. We hypothesize that the highest level of well-being in the plant corresponds to a given minimum level of its surface roughness. Beyond this point the roughness increases. A set of 511 images of Sunagoke moss (Rhacomitrium canescens) samples at water states of, 5.0gg −1 , 4gg −1 , 3gg −1 , 2.0gg −1 , 1.0gg −1 and 0gg −1 were analyzed for roughness parameters. Water state here was defined as the amount of water availab.e for the plant at the beginning of a given day in grams per gram of its dry weight. The results demonstrated that different water states have a strong effect on the surface roughness in Sunagoke moss. It was found that the higher the surface roughness of a plant the lower the level of its well-being and viceversa. The highest level of well-being was found to be at 2gg −1 water state for the Sunagoke moss used in this study. We concluded that roughness analysis can be used to quantify well-being in plants. Based on the results of this study, we propose a speaking organism system concept which allows plants to self-regulate their own bio-production environment based on roughness parameters fused with other image analysis results.

Ultra-high-voltage (UHV) transmission lines (over 750 kV) normally have larger shunt capacitance and longer transmission radius, which impose limitations of direct application of traditional impedance algorithm. A novel impedance fault location algorithm is proposed for UHV transmission lines with single-line-to-ground faults due to higher voltage level than 750 kV. It is based on the precondition that the negative sequence current phase at meter location can precisely describe the phase information of negative current in fault path or fault voltage. The algorithm is immune to the influence of shunt capacitance with distributed parameters modeling for transmission line, and is not disturbed by fault resistance with fault location calculation at zero-crossing point of voltage at fault point. Theoretical analysis and simulation prove that the proposed method can guarantee good fault location accuracy, and fulfill the requirements in the field.

This paper shows that one of soft actuators, Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite (IPMC) can be modeled in terms of distributed port-Hamiltonian systems with multi-scale. The physical structure of IPMC consists of three parts. The first part is an electric double layer at the interface between the polymer and the metal electrodes. The frequency response of the polymer-metal interface shows a fractal degree of gain slope. Then we adopt a black-box circuit model to this part and give considerations for distributed impedance parameters. The second part is an electrostress diffusion coupling model with bending and relaxation dynamics. This part is represented by an electro-osmosis, which is a water transport by an electric field, and a streaming potential, which is an electric field created by a water transport. We discuss the relationship of stress and bending moment induced by swelling. The third part is a mechanical system modeled as a flexible beam with large deformations. The representation has the capability extracting the control structure based on passivity from distributed parameter systems possessing a complex behavior.

This paper presents the design of a comprehensive Multi-layer Architecture for Trajectory Replanning and intelligent execution (MATRIX) system and its evaluation through high-fidelity simulations of the R-50 helicopter in the Real-time Interactive Prototype Technology Integration/Development Environment (RIPTIDE). The main feature of the MATRIX system is that it assures effective real-time obstacle detection & avoidance in a cluttered environment. Specifically, this paper discusses the (i) Design of the MATRIX System;(ii) Design, implementation & testing of individual modules;(iii) Integration & implementation under RIPTIDE;and (iv) Study of the features and limitations of the proposed architecture and algorithms. The MATRIX system consists of several subsystems including: Path Planner based on Rapidly-exploring Random Trees (RRT), shortest path algorithm for pruning of redundant waypoints, a safety corridor for preventing collisions with obstacles, 4D trajectory generator, nonlinear adaptive outer-loop controller, representation of obstacles using Quadtrees, and obstacle detection using a scanning laser and Interacting Multiple Model Kalman Filters (IMM-KF). These subsystems were developed and integrated within RIPTIDE, and extensive testing was carried out using R-50 helicopter dynamics. It was found that the MATRIX system rapidly generates new paths and trajectories to avoid unknown obstacles, is highly robust, and achieves excellent overall performance.
