An adaptive discontinuous Galerkin multiscale method driven by an energy norm a posteriori error bound is proposed. The method is based on splitting the problem into a coarse and fine scale. Localized fine scale constituent problems are solved on patches of the domain and are used to obtain a modified coarse scale equation. The coarse scale equation has considerably less degrees of freedom than...

In this paper, adaptive synchronization with unknown parameters is discussed for a unified chaotic system by using the Lyapunov method and the adaptive control approach. Some communication schemes, including chaotic masking, chaotic modulation, and chaotic shift key strategies, are then proposed based on the modified adaptive method. The transmitted signal is masked by chaotic signal or modulat...

The Minimal Residual (MR) is modified for adaptive filtering application. Three forms of MR based algorithm are presented: i) the low complexity SPCG, ii) MREDSI, and iii) MREDSII. The low complexity is a reduced complexity version of a previously proposed SPCG algorithm. Approximations introduced reduce the algorithm to an LMS type algorithm, but, maintain the superior convergence of the SPCG ...

The synchronization problem of chaotic systems using active modified projective nonlinear control method is rarely addressed. Thus the concentration of this study is to derive a modified projective controller to synchronize the two chaotic systems. Since, the parameter of the master and follower systems are considered known, so active methods are employed instead of adaptive methods. The validi...

In this paper a new method of frequency tracking based on modified adaptive notch filter is proposed to solve the problem of dynamic frequency tracking of low capacity power system, the ANF equations is discretizated, the influence of the ANF parameters on frequency tracking is analyzed, the band-pass pre-filter and the low-pass post-filter are applied. With applying iterative updates synchrono...

Recently, the passivity results for linear time-invariant systems were successfully extended to nonlinear and nonstationary systems, thus guaranteeing stability of adaptive control of nonlinear square systems. Based on this theoretical development, this paper presents the development of a new class of direct adaptive controllers, which employ a new decentralized adaptation law mechanism that is...

Wing rock phenomenon is an undesired motion appears in high angles of attack where a rolling in the aircraft in positive and negative roll angles with specified amplitude and frequency is occurred. In this paper two adaptive controllers suggested to control the rolling dynamics under wing rock phenomenon for a delta wing aircraft with presence of disturbance. Disturbance was considered as unmat...

I show how one can modify the random-walk Metropolis MCMC method in such a way that a sequence of modified Metropolis updates takes little computation time when the rejection rate is outside a desired interval. This allows one to effectively adapt the scale of the Metropolis proposal distribution, by performing several such “short-cut” Metropolis sequences with varying proposal stepsizes. Unlik...
