This paper revisits the problem of estimating the domain of attraction of a saturated system with an algebraic loop. A piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function of an augmented state vector composing of the system state and the saturated input has been proposed for use in estimating the domain of attraction for a saturated system. Considering the relationship between the system states and the saturation function, we propose in this paper a generalized piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function, which results from adding a term that characterizes the regional sector condition of the saturated input to the piecewise quadratic Lypunov function. The matrix associated with the generalized piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function is not required to be positive definite, and thus a set of less conservative stability conditions are established, from which a larger estimate of the domain of attraction can be obtained. Simulation results indicate that the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Conflict management is an important and challenging problem in collaboration. Conflict avoidance is one way to manage conflicts. Intuitively, we may try the best to avoid conflicts when initiating a collaborative activity, because we may save the effort of conflict resolution. However, conflict avoidance is a complex task that requires many efforts. We need to know if we could get a reward from our payment in conflict avoidance. This paper sets up a model to evaluate the collaboration performance before and after conflict avoidance; conducts experiments with simulations; finally conclude the benefits for conflict avoidance. The contribution of this paper is to assert that conflict avoidance is beneficial in most cases unless the conflicts are not severe, there are not many conflicts, and the number of roles is too small.

This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) approach for discrete-time jump Markov linear systems (JMLS) considering constraints on the inputs as well as on the expectancy of the states. Prediction equations for the first moment of the states are formulated, in which the dependencies on the inputs, on the expected values of disturbances, and on the current states are directly considered. For the computation of the matrices needed for predicting the first moment of the states, a recursive algorithm is presented. Finally, the prediction equations are used to formulate the MPC problem as a quadratic program (QP). Due to the recursive structure of the prediction equations and the formulation as a QP, the computational effort is low compared to existing approaches. Simulation results demonstrate the properties of the presented MPC approach and its capabilities of controlling large-scale JMLS online.

In this paper, the state estimation problem is investigated for a class of discrete-time complex networks under the eventtriggered framework. The event-based estimator receives the updated measurements from the sensors only when the prespecified event-triggering rule is violated. Compared with the traditional estimator with the clock driven rule, a series of event-based state estimators are developed so as to reduce unnecessary data transmissions in the communication channel. Attention is focused on the analysis and design problem of the event-based estimators for the addressed discrete-time complex networks such that the estimation error is exponentially bounded in mean square. Some sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the existence of the desired estimators and the upper bound of the estimation error is derived. By using the convex optimization technique,the gain parameters of the desired estimators are obtained in an explicit form. Finally, a numerical example is used to show the effectiveness of the proposed estimation approach.

Characteristic modeling and the adaptive control design based on it have attracted increasing attention from the research community due to their many successful practical applications that have been reported. This paper presents a Matlab simulation platform that has been developed to facilitate the study of characteristic model based adaptive controlsystems. The simulation platform consists of two interweaving components: for a given continuous-time linear time-invariant plant, represented by a transfer function, and a specified sampling period, the simulation platform calculates a discretized model of the plant, and the corresponding characteristic model, and with a specified set of initial conditions of the characteristic model and its coefficients, along with the specified duration of simulation and reference input, the simulation platform will adaptively tune the coefficients of the characteristic model and calculate the outputs of the plant and the characteristic model. All the data needed for the simulation will be entered through a graphic user interface, which also plots the evolution of the outputs of the plant and the characteristic model as well as the evolution of the coefficients of the characteristic model. The simulation results can also be saved for off line plotting and analysis through the graphic user interface.

In this paper, the accuracy of soft computing technique in solar radiation prediction based on series of measured meteorological data (monthly mean sunshine duration, monthly mean maximum and minimum temperature) taking from Iseyin meteorological station in Nigeria was examined. The process, which simulates the solar radiation with support vector regression (SVR), was constructed. The inputs were monthly mean maximum temperature (Tmax), monthly mean minimum temperature (Tmin) and monthly mean sunshine duration ( $$ \bar{n} $$ ). Polynomial and radial basis functions (RBF) are applied as the SVR kernel function to estimate solar radiation. According to the results, a greater improvement in estimation accuracy can be achieved through the SVR with polynomial basis function compared to RBF. The SVR coefficient of determination R 2 with the polynomial function was 0.7395 and with the radial basis function, the R 2 was 0.5877.
