We investigate the nonlinearity of a liquid crystal cell doped with gold nanoparticles by considering their selective absorption. Such nonlinearities are promising for optical processing applications and optical limiters. Systems displaying thermal nonlinearities are particularly attractive as the maximum nonlinearity may occur in the absence of an applied field and additionally this nonlineari...

A gramians based method for quantifying the nonlinearity of the control-affine spatio-temporal systems is proposed in this paper. The empirical gramians are computed from the data collected from a nonlinear model derived by collocation method for spatio-temporal systems. This method compares the empirical gramians of the nonlinear model with that of the linearized model at its steady state oper...

It is well-known that linear constrained model predictive control has a nonlinearity that is continuous and piecewise affine. Under certain feasibility conditions the nonlinearity may be sector bounded and shown to satisfy sufficient conditions for the existence of Zames-Falb multipliers. Thus the nonlinearity satisfies a wide class of integral quadratic constraint (IQC). Standard analysis then...

In this note, small amplitude free vibration of a double-beam system in presence of inner layer nonlinearity is investigated. The nonlinearity is due to inner layer material and is not related to large amplitude vibration. At first, frequencies of a double-beam system with linear inner layer are studied and categorized as synchronous and asynchronous frequencies. It is revealed that the inner l...

Integral nonlinearity (INL) should be main source of ADC's harmonic distortion. The basic question is importance of dynamic INL. There are still open questions how to describe dynamic INL and if the dynamic corrections of ADC have sense. Key-Words: ADC, testing, static, dynamic, INL, hysteresis

Abstract With the gradual advancement of dual-carbon goals, wind-solar-storage power station has become mainstream trend in constructing new energy stations due to their wind and luminous complementary characteristics. However, current research on primary frequency control is still focused a single-machine strategy. The communication delay period caused by long links are not considered. It diff...

Measurement of integral non-linearity (INL) and differential non-linearity (DNL) of an A/D converter using the histogram method incurs large test time. This test time can be a significant percentage of the total test time, especially for high resolution and low sampling-speed A/D converters. This paper describes a test methodology for measuring the INL and DNL specifications of A/D converters b...

We propose the use of self-defocusing nonlinearities to control nonlinear phase shifts in soliton fiber lasers. By analogy to dispersion management, we refer to this scheme as nonlinearity management. First we describe a map that can be regarded as a combination of nonlinearity management and dispersion management. The map is designed to support solitons in two segments of alternating sign of n...

This paper proposes a robust design scheme for the control of surge phenomenon appearing in a centrifugal compressor. It is known the surge instability in compressor might lead to reduce the operating efficiency and even damage the machinery while both of unstable compressor characteristics and compressor load torque are hard to exactly measure in the practical application. Based on the assumpt...
