An H∞ control problem for a class of discrete-time systems with additional nonminimum phase property at the control input is addressed. First, the full information problem is dealt with by developing a discrete-time counterpart of the J-spectral factorization technique in the literature. Second, the output estimation problem is reduced to finite-dimensional one by examining the J-spectral facto...

In this paper, we develop a method to design the input control to track the output of a nonminimum-phase nonlinear systems asymptotically. The design of the control inputs is based on an exact linearization. To perform the exact linearization, the other output should be selected such that its relative degree is equal to the dimension of the system. Furthermore, the desired output of the output ...

It has been stated that the inverse filtering of room transfer functions is possible using multiple inputs under certain conditions [1]. In this paper we address these conditions from a numerical perspective. A method is developed to determine the numerical precision of multiple input inverse filtering techniques. This method is applied to two simulated rooms, and the numerical precision is est...

Spatial heterogeneity is believed to play an important role in the persistence and dynamics of epidemics of childhood diseases because asynchrony between populations within different regions allows global persistence, even if the disease dies out locally. A simple multi-patch (metapopulation) model for spatial heterogeneity in epidemics is analysed and we examine conditions under which patches ...

A dynamic model for the longitudinal axis of a conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft is presented. Non-minimum phase characteristics in this model result from the fact that the process of generating an upward pitch moment produces a small downward force, causing the aircraft to lose altitude. The model is not full state linearizable and the internal dynamics which remain after input-...

In this paper, distributed parameter process systems behavior is studied in frequency domain. Based on the dominant gain concept that is developed for such studies, a method is presented to control distributed parameter process systems. By using dominant gain concept, the location of open loop zeros, resulted from the time delay parameter in the process model, were changed from the right half p...

Using inverse filtering, voice source characteristics related to vocal £old adductory force, and the first formant frequency, are analyzed in six professional male singers and six male nonsingers repeatedly phonating the syllable /pae:/ in loud and soft phonation at different fundamental frequencies throughout the subjects' ranges. For each voice sample, inverse filtered air flow was recorded a...

This paper presents a new method for dereverberation of speech signals with a single microphone. For applications such as speech recognition, reverberant speech causes serious problems when a distant microphone is used in recording. This is especially severe when the reverberation time exceeds 0.5 of a second. We propose a method which uses the fundamental frequency ( ) of target speech as the ...

In this manuscript, a new method is proposed to provide a perfect tracking of the supercavitation system based on a new two-state model. The tracking of the pitch rate and angle of attack for fin and cavitator input is of the aim. The pitch rate of the supercavitation with respect to fin angle is found as a non-minimum phase behavior. This effect reduces the speed of command pitch rate. Control...
