We introduce the Synergetic approach, which brings great improvements in computer modeling and simulation of power electronic systems. Essentially, the process involves synthesis of control laws that result in collapse of (at least two) initially high-dimension models into a single model of lower-dimension. The technique requires creation of state space attractors, artificial manifolds, that re...

Discrete-time synergetic optimal control strategies are proposed for a class of nonlinear discrete-time dynamic systems, in which a special performance index is used that results in closed-form solutions of the optimal problems. Reduced-dimension aggregated variables representing a combination of the actual controlled plant variables are used to define the performance index. The control law opt...

Teachers’ verbal behavior is a key contributor to provision of appropriate indirect intervention in language learning contexts; however, it is surprising that professionals in ELT, to date, have not proposed a structured oral/verbal framework to deliver intervention and assistance in language learning contexts. To help redress this gap, Heron’s Six-Category Intervention Analysis was adapted to ...

We represent a theory of polymer gelation as an analogue of liquid-glass transition in which elastic fields of stress and strain shear components appear spontaneously as a consequence of the cross-linking of macromolecules. This circumstance is explained on the basis of obvious combinatoric arguments as well as a synergetic Lorenz system, where the strain acts as an order parameter, a conjugate...
