Synthesis Approach

In this paper, a synthesis approach for input rate saturation compensation of feedback systems is presented. Uncertain, stable plants of type greater than or equal to 1 are considered. Based on Horowitz’s original design for input amplitude saturation (Horowitz, I., 1983) and extensions developed in (Wu, W., and Jayasuriya, S., 1999; Wu, W., and Jayasuriya, S., 2001; Wu, W., 2000) an independent loop around the rate saturating element is introduced for saturation compensation by means of the third DOF (degree of freedom) saturation compensator, H(s). First, the structure of the additional loop transmission is constructed to generate the desired response behavior on a systems recovery from saturation. Second, robust stability and robust performance under the addition of H(s) are investigated. The circle criterion, describing function, and nonovershooting conditions are utilized to generate design constraints. In the end, all design constraints involving saturation compensation are expressed as frequency domain bounds, and the synthesis of saturation compensator H(s) follows from loop shaping methods such as QFT. The proposed approach guarantees input/output stability under saturation for the plant class considered.

And Performance

Presented in this paper is a design methodology for robust stability and robust performance for a large class of plants subject to an input saturation nonlinearity. Based on Horowitz’s 3-DOF linear design method, a more general form for the additional loop transmission around the saturating element is proposed to design the third degree of freedom Hs, for Type n plants, n⩾1. Robust stability is established with the circle criterion and the describing function technique, and robust performance is improved by imposing nonovershooting conditions. All stability and performance requirements are then transferred into frequency domain design bounds which are easily obtained using QFT design techniques. This procedure applies to all SISO, Type n, stable plants with uncertainties (parametric or nonparametric), and to marginally stable and conditionally stable plants as well.

The Relationship

Objective: Tourism has become the main engine of economic, social and environmental development in several countries, so promoting tourism awareness among tourists and the local population should be a priority. The present study aims to suggest a status of the research carried out on the topic of tourism awareness. Design / methodology / approach: The type of analysis is through a retrospective and exploratory bibliometric study. The analysis materials were scientific articles and a training manual published between 2000 and 2020, registered by Scopus, Emerald insight and Dialnet, using “tourism awareness” as the keyword. Results: When considering the three senses in which tourism awareness ought to operate, it is concluded that studies are more focused on the relationship and contact of the host community with the tourist. It is observed that four out of six articles in this sense consider that education, training, and government policies around tourism awareness should be developed in a better way in the destinations, in order to be an element that contributes to the development of communities and reduces poverty in developing countries. Study limitations / implications: It is considered a limitation not to include thesis dissertations. Findings / conclusions: It is necessary to make visible the importance of tourism awareness as a local development strategy for communities, in addition to including tourism awareness on the part of tourists.
