Necessary And Sufficient

A circle forming problem for a group of mobile agents governed by first-order system is investigated, where each agent can only sense the relative angular positions of its neighboring two agents with time delay and move on the one-dimensional space of a given circle. To solve this problem, a novel decentralized sampled-data control law is proposed. By combining algebraic graph theory with control theory, some necessary and sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that all the mobile agents form a pregiven circle formation asymptotically. Moreover, the ranges of the sampling period and the coupling delay are determined, respectively. Finally, the theoretical results are demonstrated by numerical simulations.

Necessary And Sufficient

In this letter, we investigate the sampled-data state feedback control (SDSFC) problem of Boolean control networks (BCNs). Some necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the global stabilization of BCNs by SDSFC. Different from conventional state feedback controls, new phenomena observed the study of SDSFC. Based on the controllability matrix, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions under which the trajectories of BCNs can be stabilized to a fixed point by piecewise constant control (PCC). It is proved that the global stabilization of BCNs under SDSFC is equivalent to that by PCC. Moreover, algorithms are given to construct the sampled-data state feedback controllers. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.

Necessary And Sufficient

Let n points be distributed independently within a k-dimensional unit cube according to density f. At each point, construct a k-dimensional sphere of content an. Let V denote the vacancy, or ‘volume' not covered by the spheres. We derive asymptotic formulae for the mean and variance of V, as n → ∞and an → 0. The formulae separate naturally into three cases, corresponding to nan → 0, nan → a (0 < a <∞) and nan →∞, respectively. We apply the formulae to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for V/E(V) → 1 in L2.

1. In a recent paper I established new conditions for a form φ of order n, homogeneous in r + 1 variables, to be expressible as the sum of nth powers of linear forms in these variables; and for this expression, if it exists, to be unique. These conditions, I further showed, may be stated as general theorems regarding the secant spaces of manifolds Mr in higher space, namely:Necessary and sufficient conditions that through a general point of a space N, of h (r + 1) − 1 dimensions, there passes (i) no, (ii) a unique (h − 1)-dimensional space containing h points of a manifold Mr lying in N are that(i) the space projecting a general point of Mr from the join of h − 1 general r-dimensional tangent spaces of Mr meets Mr in a curve, so that Mr cannot be so projected upon a linear space of r dimensions;(ii) the space projecting a general point of Mr from the join of h − 1 general r-dimensional tangent spaces of Mr does not meet Mr again, so that Mr can be so projected, birationally, upon a linear space of r dimensions..

Necessary And Sufficient

In the architecture of cellular neural networks (CNN), connections among cells are built on linear coupling laws. These laws are characterized by the so-called templates which express the local interaction weights among cells. Recently, the complete stability for CNN has been extended from symmetric connections to cycle-symmetric connections. In this presentation, we investigate a class of two-dimensional space-invariant templates. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the class of templates to have cycle-symmetric connections. Complete stability for CNN with several interesting templates is thus concluded.

In this paper, the problem of reliable sampled-data control design with strict dissipativity for a class of linear continuous-time-delay systems against nonlinear actuator faults is studied. The main objective of this paper is to design a reliable sampled-data controller to ensure a strictly dissipative performance for the closed-loop system. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization approach and Wirtinger-based integral inequality, a new set of sufficient conditions is established for reliable dissipativity analysis of the considered system by assuming the mixed actuator fault matrix to be known. Then, the proposed result is extended to unknown fault matrix case. Also, the reliable sampled-data controller with strict dissipativity is designed by solving a convex optimization problem which can be easily solved by using standard numerical algorithms. Finally, a numerical example based on liquid propellant rocket motor with a pressure feeding system model is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed control design technique.
