a novel technique is investigated for pid controller adaptation in order to control thetemperature of a liquid-phase reactor tank by using a heat exchanger system. as for nonlinearity,time delay problems and model uncertainties introduced by the heat exchanger, an interval type-2fuzzy system (it2fs) is implemented to enhance and improve the total control performance.moreover, the fuzzy inferenc...

We propose a stable feedback control algorithm of the buffer state using the controlled Lagrange multiplier in combined rate-distortion characteristics for a buffer-constrained adaptive quantization. The proposed algorithm is established using feedback control theory and is described by the state equation with nonlinearity in the feedback path. The nonlinearity of the state equation comes from ...

Virtually every real process is a nonlinear system. Nevertheless, linear system analysis and linear controller design methods have proven to be adequate in many applications. On the other hand, there are nonlinear processes that require or benefit from nonlinear control. Therefore, recognizing a system as being nonlinear does not suffice, but the extent and severity of a system’s inherent nonli...

The control of fluidized-bed operations processes is still one of the major areas of research due to the complexity of the process and the inherent nonlinearity and varying dynamics involved in its operation. There are varieties of problems in chemical engineering that can be formulated as NonLinear Programming (NLPs). The quality of the developed solution significantly affects the performa...

This paper addresses an approximation-based anti-windup (AW) control strategy for suppressing the windup effect caused by actuator saturation nonlinearity in proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controlled systems. The effect of actuator constraint is firstly regarded as a disturbance imported to the PID controller. The external disturbance can then be modeled by a linear differential equatio...

Compact terahertz (THz) devices, especially for nonlinear THz components, have received more and attention due to their potential applications in nonlinearity-based sensing, communications, computing devices. However, effective means enhance, control, confine the harmonics of waves remain a great challenge micro-scale In this work, we established technique harmonic generation based on phonon po...

This paper is to study the tracking control of a piezoceramic actuator (PA). Due to the inherent hysteresis nonlinearity, the PA always causes position error in the open-loop system and instability in the closed-loop system. To remedy this problem, a new control method combining the feedforward and feedback controllers is proposed to improve the dynamic performance of the PA. In the feedforward...

It is well known that, for estimating a linear treatment effect with constant variance, the optimal design divides the units equally between the two extremes of the design space. If the dose-response relation may be nonlinear, however, intermediate measurements may be useful in order to estimate the effects of partial treatments. We consider the decision of whether to gather data at an intermed...

Deeply sub-wavelength two-dimensional films may exhibit extraordinarily strong nonlinear effects. Here we show that 2D films exhibit the remarkable property of a phase-controllable nonlinearity, i.e., the amplitude of the nonlinear polarisation wave in the medium can be controlled via the pump beam phase and determines whether a probe beam will "feel" or not the nonlinearity. This is in stark c...
