In the present paper, a new 2-D Van der Polstructural oscillator model is introduced for the vortex induced vibrations of circular cylinders.The main purpose of this task is to control the recently introduced model by means of modern control definitions in state space. In order to control the system, the whole model is linearized about its equilibrium point by deriving state-space matrices. The...

This paper describes a family of probabilistic architectures designed for online learning under the logarithmic loss. Rather than relying on non-linear transfer functions, our method gains representational power by the use of data conditioning. We state under general conditions a learnable capacity theorem that shows this approach can in principle learn any bounded Borel-measurable function on ...

Tlie research on robust stability of uncertain systems has been undertaking for a number of years. We now seem to have a good understanding of the socalled linear (or affine) perturbations. The progress for tackling nonlinear perturbations has been relatively slow due to obvious difficulties. One approach to nonliiiear perturbations is to convert the robust stability problem into a certain type...

In this paper, a transient, two-dimensional and nonlinear inverse heat conduction problem in solidification process is considered. Genetic algorithm is applied for the identification of the interfacial heat transfer coefficients during squeeze casting of commercial aluminum alloy (Al-4.5wt%Cu) by assuming a priori information regarding the functional form of the unknown heat transfer coefficien...

In this paper we propose a new method for ranking Z- numbers and generalizations. This method is based on the internal structure of the artificial neural network, which suggests that the structure of this network consists of inputs weights and the transfer function linear, nonlinear and sometimes linear and nonlinear. It is shown that the proposed method while possessing the ranking properties ...

Bang-Bang clock and data recovery (BBCDR) circuits are hard nonlinear systems due to the nonlinearity introduced by the binary phase detector (BPD). The specification of the CDR frequency response is determined by jitter tolerance and jitter transfer. In this paper, jitter transfer and jitter tolerance of the second-order BBCDR are characterized by formulating the time domain waveforms. As a re...

This paper introduces methods of pseudo-linear algebra to unify the algebraic formalism of one-forms and the related polynomial approach for both continuous and discrete-time nonlinear control systems. Given approach covers also differene, q-shift and q-difference operators whereby this algebraic formalism is not only unified but also extended to wide class of nonlinear control systems. Also th...

The paper presents a procedure for identification continuous-time Hammerstein systems. To improve the representation of the nonlinear functions, the set of basis functions is iteratively refined. It is possible to identify the dominant nonlinearities, applying a singular value decomposition to the input matrix. In our approach, the linear dynamic subsystem is described by a transfer function of...

This paper derives a parameterization of the set of all stabilizing controllers for a given plant which leaves some prespecified closed-loop transfer function fixed. This result is motivated by the need to independently shape several different disturbance transmission paths in vehicle active suspension control. The result is studied in the context of quarter-, half-, and full-car vehicle models...

In this article, additional discussions on the nonlinear entropy transfer between turbulence and zonal flows are given for the isotope ion mass effects on the trapped-electron-mode (TEM) driven turbulent transport shown in Ref. 1. Spectral analyses with the triad entropy transfer function reveal that the case with heavier isotope ions indicates a relatively smaller negative transfer (from zonal...
