The problem of optimally positioning sensors in lumped and distributed parameter dynamic systems for the purpose of system identification from time-domain input-output data is formulated and a methodology for its solution is presented. A linear relation between small perturbations in a finite-dimensional representation of the system parameters and a finite sample of observations of the system time response is used to determine approximately the covariance of the parameter estimates. The locations of a given number of sensors are then determined such that a suitable norm of the covariance matrix is minimized. The methodology is applied to the problem of optimally locating a single sensor in a building structure modeled by a shear beam, such that the estimates of the stiffness distributions, obtained from the records of strong ground shaking and the building response at the sensor location, are least uncertain.

Abstract In this paper, control-oriented modeling approaches are presented for distributed parameter systems. These systems, which are in the focus of this contribution, are assumed to be described by suitable partial differential equations. They arise naturally during the modeling of dynamic heat transfer processes. The presented approaches aim at developing finite-dimensional system descriptions for the design of various open-loop, closed-loop, and optimal control strategies as well as state, disturbance, and parameter estimation techniques. Here, the modeling is based on the method of integrodifferential relations, which can be employed to determine accurate, finite-dimensional sets of state equations by using projection techniques. These lead to a finite element representation of the distributed parameter system. Where applicable, these finite element models are combined with finite volume representations to describe storage variables that are—with good accuracy—homogeneous over sufficiently large space domains. The advantage of this combination is keeping the computational complexity as low as possible. Under these prerequisites, real-time applicable control algorithms are derived and validated via simulation and experiment for a laboratory-scale heat transfer system at the Chair of Mechatronics at the University of Rostock. This benchmark system consists of a metallic rod that is equipped with a finite number of Peltier elements which are used either as distributed control inputs, allowing active cooling and heating, or as spatially distributed disturbance inputs.

We investigate anN-state spin model called quantum relativistic Toda chain and based on the unitary finite-dimensional representations of the Weyl algebra withqbeingNth primitive root of unity. Parameters of the finite-dimensional representation of the local Weyl algebra form the classical discrete integrable system. Nontrivial dynamics of the classical counterpart corresponds to isospectral transformations of the spin system. Similarity operators are constructed with the help of modified Baxter'sQ-operators. The classical counterpart of the modifiedQ-operator for the initial homogeneous spin chain is a Bäcklund transformation. This transformation creates an extra Hirota-type soliton in a parameterization of the chain structure. Special choice of values of solitonic amplitudes yields a degeneration of spin eigenstates, leading to the quantum separation of variables, or the functional Bethe ansatz. A projector to the separated eigenstates is constructed explicitly as a product of modifiedQ-operators.

Conditional Lie-Bäcklund symmetry approach is used to study the invariant subspace of the nonlinear diffusion equations with sourceut=e−qx(epxP(u)uxm)x+Q(x,u),m≠1. We obtain a complete list of canonical forms for such equations admit multidimensional invariant subspaces determined by higher order conditional Lie-Bäcklund symmetries. The resulting equations are either solved exactly or reduced to some finite-dimensional dynamic systems.

Let G be a complex analytic group, and let A be the representation space of a finite-dimensional complex analytic representation of G. We consider the cohomology for G in A, such as would be obtained in the usual way from the complex of holomorphic cochains for G in A. Actually, we shall use a more conceptual categorical definition, which is equivalent to the explicit one by cochains. In the context of finite-dimensional representation theory, nothing substantial is lost by assuming that G is a linear group. Under this assumption, it is the main purpose of this paper to relate the holomorphic cohomology of G to Lie algebra cohomology, and to the rational cohomology, in the sense of [1], of algebraic hulls of G. This is accomplished by using the known structure theory for complex analytic linear groups in combination with certain easily established results concerning the cohomology of semidirect products. The main results are Theorem 4.1 (whose hypothesis is always satisfied by a complex analytic linear group) and Theorems 5.1 and 5.2. These last two theorems show that the usual abundantly used connections between complex analytic representations of complex analytic groups and rational representations of algebraic groups extend fully to the superstructure of cohomology.

Qualitative Changes

Studies of the use of oscillations for control purposes continue to reveal new practically important properties unique to the oscillatory open and closed loop control laws. The goal of this paper is to enlarge the available set of analytical tools for such studies by introducing a method of analysis of the qualitative changes in the behavior of dynamical systems caused by the zero mean parametric excitations. After summarizing and slightly refining a technique developed previously for the finite dimensional nonlinear systems, we consider an extension of this technique to a class of distributed parameter systems (DPS) governed by semilinear parabolic equations. The technique presented is illustrated by several examples.
