This paper studies the discrete-time Poisson channel and the noiseless binary channel where, after recording a 1, the channel output is stuck at 0 for a certain period; this period is called the “dead time.” The communication capacities of these channels are analyzed, with main focus on the regime where the allowed average input power is close to zero, either because the bandwidth is large, or because the available continuous-time input power is low.

The present study proposes a novel proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control design method in discrete time. In the proposed method, a PID controller is designed for first-order plus dead-time (FOPDT) systems so that the prescribed robust stability is accomplished. Furthermore, based on the control performance, the relationship between the servo performance and the regulator performance is a trade-off relationship, and hence, these items are not simultaneously optimized. Therefore, the proposed method provides an optimal design method of the PID parameters for optimizing the reference tracking and disturbance rejection performances, respectively. Even though such a trade-off design method is being actively researched for continuous time, few studies have examined such a method for discrete time. In conventional discrete time methods, the robust stability is not directly prescribed or available systems are restricted to systems for which the dead-time in the continuous time model is an integer multiple of the sampling interval. On the other hand, in the proposed method, even when a discrete time zero is included in the controlled plant, the optimal PID parameters are obtained. In the present study, as well as the other plant parameters, a zero in the FOPDT system is newly normalized, and then, a universal design method is obtained for the FOPDT system with the zero. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical examples.

AbstractThe paper studies covert communication over a continuous-time Gaussian channel. The covertness condition requires that the channel output must statistically resemble pure noise. When the additive Gaussian noise is “white” over the bandwidth of interest, a formal coding theorem is proven, extending earlier results on covert Gaussian communication in discrete time. This coding theorem is applied to study scenarios where the input bandwidth can be infinite and where positive or even infinite per-second rates may be achievable.

AbstractNetwork analysis of ESM data has become popular in clinical psychology. In this approach, discrete-time (DT) vector auto-regressive (VAR) models define the network structure with centrality measures used to identify intervention targets. However, VAR models suffer from time-interval dependency. Continuous-time (CT) models have been suggested as an alternative but require a conceptual shift, implying that DT-VAR parameters reflect total rather than direct effects. In this paper, we propose and illustrate a CT network approach using CT-VAR models. We define a new network representation and develop centrality measures which inform intervention targeting. This methodology is illustrated with an ESM dataset.

Sensorless control technology of PMSMs is of great importance for safety and reliability in electric vehicles. Among all existing methods, only the extended flux-based method has great performance over all speed range. However, the accuracy and reliability of the extended flux rotor position observer are greatly affected by the dead-time effect. In this paper, the extended flux-based observer is adopted to develop a sensorless control system. The influence of dead-time effect on the observer is analyzed and a dead-time correction method is specially designed to guarantee the reliability of the whole control system. A comparison of estimation precision among the extended flux-based method, the electromotive force (EMF)-based method and the high frequency signal injection method is given by simulations. The performance of the proposed sensorless control system is verified by experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed extended flux-based sensorless control system with dead-time correction has satisfactory performance over full speed range in both loaded and non-loaded situations. The estimation error of rotor speed is within 4% in all working conditions. The dead-time correction method improves the reliability of the control system effectively.

In a recent paper, the authors have discussed the concept of quasi-stationary distributions for absorbing Markov chains having a finite state space, with the further restriction of discrete time. The purpose of the present note is to summarize the analogous results when the time parameter is continuous.
