Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems

This paper presents an approach to the robust state reconstruction for a class of nonlinear switched systems affected by model uncertainties. Under the assumption that the continuous state is available for measurement, an approach is presented based on concepts and methodologies derived from the sliding mode control theory. With noisefree state measurements, the time needed for reconstructing t...

Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems

We consider resource contention games in a stochastic hybrid system setting using Stochastic Flow Models (SFM) with multiple classes and class-dependent objectives. We present a general modeling framework for such games, where Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) estimators are derived for the derivatives of various class-dependent objectives. This allows us to study these games from the p...

Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems

In a companion paper [Q. Hui, W.M. Haddad, Semistability of switched dynamical systems. Part I: Linear system theory, Non-linear Anal. Hybrid Syst. 3 (3) (2009) 343–353] semistability and uniform semistability results for switched linear systems were developed. In this paper we develop semistability analysis results for non-linear switched systems. Semistability is the property whereby the solu...

Nonlinear phenomena in beamforming

In this paper we present a summary of nonlinear system level problems in beamforming. The paper summarizes first the nonideal phenomena in power amplifiers, mixers, and oscillators. In digital predistortion inversion of the nonlinearity is needed. Not all linear and nonlinear systems are invertible or they may have only a preinverse or postinverse. Commutation is needed in indirect learning arc...
