Virtual Stability: A Principle of Complex Systems

نویسنده

  • Burton Voorhees
چکیده

We introduce the concept of virtual stability, defined as a system’s ability to gain in flexibility and maneuverability by using self-monitoring in order to maintain itself in a state that would normally be unstable. After presenting a general description of virtual stability we look at a number of examples and outline a simple cellular automata model that is being used to explore virtual stability.

A new virtual leader-following consensus protocol to internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles with generic network topology under communication and parasitic delays

In this paper, a new virtual leader following consensus protocol is introduced to perform the internal and string stability analysis of longitudinal platoon of vehicles under generic network topology. In all previous studies on multi-agent systems with generic network topology, the control parameters are strictly dependent on eigenvalues of network matrices (adjacency or Laplacian). Since some ...

Passivity-Based Stability Analysis and Robust Practical Stabilization of Nonlinear Affine Systems with Non-vanishing Perturbations

This paper presents some analyses about the robust practical stability of a class of nonlinear affine systems in the presence of non-vanishing perturbations based on the passivity concept. The given analyses confirm the robust passivity property of the perturbed nonlinear systems in a certain region. Moreover, robust control laws are designed to guarantee the practical stability of the perturbe...

Stability analysis of nonlinear hybrid delayed systems described by impulsive fuzzy differential equations

In this paper we introduce some stability criteria of nonlinear hybrid systems with time delay described by impulsive hybrid fuzzy system of differential equations. Firstly, a comparison principle for fuzzy differential system based on a notion of upper quasi-monotone nondecreasing is presented. Here, for stability analysis of fuzzy dynamical systems, vector Lyapunov-like functions are defined....

Improving the quality of images synthesized by discrete cosines transform – regression based method using principle component analysis

  Purpose: Different views of an individuals’ image may be required for proper face recognition.   Recently, discrete cosines transform (DCT) based method has been used to synthesize virtual   views of an image using only one frontal image. In this work the performance of two different   algorithms was examined to produce virtual views of one frontal image.   Materials and Methods: Two new meth...

Fault Detection and Isolation of Multi-Agent Systems via Complex Laplacian

This paper studies the problem of fault detection and isolation (FDI) for multi-agent systems (MAS) via complex Laplacian subject to actuator faults. A planar formation of point agents in the plane using simple and linear interaction rules related to complex Laplacian is achieved. The communication network is a directed, and yet connected graph with a fixed topology. The loss of symmetry in the...
