This contribution deals with the problem of structure determination for generalized orthonormal basis models used in system identiication. The model structure is parameterized by a pre-speciied set of poles. Given this structure and experimental data a model can be estimated using linear regression techniques. Since the variance of the estimated model increases with the number of estimated para...

An attempt has been made to study the heat and mass transfer effect in a boundary layer flow through porous medium of an electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid over a shrinking sheet subject to transverse magnetic field in the presence of heat source. Effects of radiation, viscous dissipation, and uniform heat sink on the heat transfer have been considered. The method of solution involves s...

In this work the Integrated Design (ID) of the activated sludge process of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) has been performed, including a linear multivariable predictive controller with constraints. In the Integrated Design procedure, the process parameters are obtained simultaneously with the parameters of the control system by solving a multiobjective constrained non-linear optimization ...

We study the problem of estimating transfer functions of multivariable (multiple-input multiple-output–MIMO) systems with sparse coefficients. We note that subspace identification methods are powerful and convenient tools in dealing with MIMO systems since they neither require nonlinear optimization nor impose any canonical form on the systems. However, subspace-based methods are inefficient fo...

Nonlinear control problems in turbofan engines are challenging. No single nonlinear controller can achieve desired effects a full flight envelope, but the case of multiple controllers, there exist bumpless transfer between different controllers. To this end, paper presents mechanism for an uncertain switched system based on integral sliding mode (ISMC), and be used speed engines. The is to desc...

In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....

In this paper we present an approach to analyze the direction of information flow between time series involving bidirectional relations. The intuitive idea comes from a first study dedicated to the so-called phase slope index, which is a measure originally developed to detect unidirectional relations and is based on the complex coherence function. In order to detect bidirectional flows, we prop...

It is well known that any amount of energy injected in a harmonic oscillator which is resonant and weakly coupled with a second harmonic oscillator, tunnels back and forth between these two oscillators. When the two oscillators are anharmonic, the amplitude dependence of their frequencies breaks, in general, any eventual initial resonance so that no substantial energy transfer occurs unless, ex...
