This paper presents a blind identification method exploiting the prior knowledge of the channel. The received signal is first processed by the filter constructed by the known part of the channel and then blind identification algorithms based on the second-order statistics are applied to the filtered signal. It is shown that, if the unknown part satisfies the identifiability condition, the channel can be identified even though the channel does not satisfy the condition. Simulation results are also presented.

The issues arising in simultaneous external as well as internal stabilization of linear systems with saturating actuators are considered. Four different stabilization problems are studied. Roughly, these problems are: (1) simultaneous semi-global external as well as semi-global internal stabilization, (2) simultaneous semi-global external as well as global internal stabilization, (3) simultaneous global external as well as semi-global internal stabilization, and (4) simultaneous global external as well as global internal stabilization. Explicit state feedback control laws are constructed.

An algorithm called the 'H/sub 2/ suboptimal state feedback gain sequence' (H/sub 2/ SOSFGS) algorithm is developed. Rather than utilizing a 'perturbation method' which is numerically stiff and computationally prohibitive, the H/sub 2/ SOSFGS algorithm utilizes a direct eigenvalue assignment method to come up with a sequence of H/sub 2/ suboptimal state feedback gains. Also, although the sequence of H/sub 2/ suboptimal state feedback gains constructed by the H/sub 2/ SOSFGS algorithm depends on a parameter /spl epsi/, the construction procedure itself does not require explicitly the value of the parameter /spl epsi/. For a given H/sub 2/ suboptimal state feedback gain, a sequence of observer gains for either a full or a reduced order observer can be constructed by merely dualizing the H/sub 2/ SOSFGS algorithm.

The concept of natural extension plays an important role in the theory of imprecise probabilities. It is a nonlinear functional on the class of nonnegative finite measurable functions. The difficulty of its calculation restricts applications of the theory. The paper provides a fast algorithm by which a precise value of the natural extension of a given nonnegative finite function with respect to a given lower probability is computed. Such an algorithm makes the natural extension one of the tools for aggregation in information fusion.

One of the most important problems in linear multivariable control theory is that of controlling a given plant in order to have its output track (or reject) a reference (or disturbance) signal produced by some external generator, called the exosystem. The disturbance or reference contains only the frequency components of the exosystem. This is called the output regulation problem. We generalize the problem framework in several directions. One is to model disturbances and references by an exosystem that is not, unlike the traditional approach, autonomous but is driven. Another direction is to incorporate the derivative information in the problem formulation. Consequently, we formulate two classes of generalized exact and almost output regulation problems. We provide solvability conditions and the solutions to these problems. Finally, and most importantly, we show that if solvability conditions for regulation are not satisfied, one can design a regulator to achieve "best" tracking (or rejection) of reference (or disturbance) signal is any desired induced norm sense.

In an era of fiscal austerity, downsizing and unforgiving pressure upon human and economic capital, it is an Augean task to identify resources for fresh and creative work. The realities of the day and the practical demands of more immediate fleet needs can often dictate higher priorities. Yet, the Navy must avoid eating its seed corn. Exercising both technical insight and management foresight, the fleet, the R&D community, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OpNav) and the product engineering expertise of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) are joined and underway with integrated efforts to marry new, fully demonstrated technologies and operational urgencies. Defense funding today cannot sponsor all work that can be mission-justified over the long term because budgets are insufficient to support product maturation within the classical development cycle. However, by rigorous technical filtering and astute engineering of both marketplace capabilities and currently available components, it is possible in a few select cases to compress and, in effect, integrate advanced development (6.3), engineering development (6.4), weapon procurement (WPN), ship construction (SCN), operation and maintenance (O&M,N) budgetary categories when fleet criticalities and technology opportunities can happily meet. In short, 6.3 funds can be applied directly to ''ripe gateways'' so modern technology is inserted into existing troubled or aging systems, sidestepping the lengthy, traditional development cycle and accelerating practical payoffs to recurrent fleet problems. To produce such constructive results has required a remarkable convergence of sponsor prescience and engineering workforce excellence. The paper describes, extensively, the philosophy of approach, transition strategy, polling of fleet needs, technology assessment, and management team requirements. The process for culling and selecting specific candidate tasks for SHARP sponsorship (matching operational need with t

For constrained differential equations arising in a specific nonlinear network, the inconsistency between two seemingly equivalent unconstrained representations has been long debated in the literature, One of the representations has nonunique solutions which violate the network constraints. Using new analytical tools, this brief proves that the two representations are not equivalent. Also the ''explanations'' for the discrepancy which appeared recently are incorrect as such, but can be restated precisely.

We present a new class of discrete chaotic systems (i.e. chaotic maps) that can effectively encrypt information. The nonlinearity of these systems is achieved by designing proper piecewise linear functions and by using modulo operations. The chaotic maps are used as pseudo-noise generators and as the synchronization mechanism of a secure spread-spectrum communication system design. The potential for automatic synchronization, the lack of periodicity and the extremely large parameter spaces that our chaotic maps exhibit offer great advantages over the traditional linear feedback shift registers pseudo-noise generators for spread spectrum system design.
