In this paper we consider the study of the servomechanism problem for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear time-invariant (LTI) positive systems. In particular, we present results on the tracking problem of nonnegative constant reference signals for unknown stable MIMO positive LTI systems with nonnegative constant disturbances. Our results exploit the structure of tuning regulators and show ...

Abstract A Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system is a nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) system. This system is very difficult to control the temperature and the humidity ratio of a thermal space because of complex nonlinear characteristics. This paper proposes an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control based on observer for the nonlinear HVAC system. The nonlinear HVAC ...

Very productive collaborative investigations characterized how multineuron hippocampal ensembles recorded in nonhuman primates (NHPs) encode short-term memory necessary for successful performance in a delayed match to sample (DMS) task and utilized that information to devise a unique nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) memory prosthesis device to enhance short-term memory in real-time dur...

In this paper, a simple neural network (NN) control scheme is developed for a class of discrete-time multi-input multi-output (MIMO) non-affine nonlinear systems with triangular form inputs and disturbances. The system studied is described by NARMAX (Nonlinear Auto Regressive Moving Average with eXogenous inputs) model. Firstly, by using implicit function theorem, the existence of the implicit ...

This is a tutorial article presenting comparison between single input single output and multi input multi output wireless channel. We have compared Shannon ergodic capacity of SISO link and its different realizations with MIMO wireless channel. It is shown that wireless channel capacity increases linearly with the increase of multiple antennas both at transmitter and receiver. MIMO wireless lin...

In this paper, a class of MIMO nonlinear systems are studied. Some frequency domain conditions are established for the property of dichotomy. These kinds of systems can also be viewed as a class of interconnected systems composed of SISO systems through some linear and nonlinear interconnections. A class of nonlinear input and output interconnections are presented. The corresponding condition f...

This paper proposes an adaptive neural network (NN) controller for a class of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with unknown delays, but with known bounds on the delay functionals. The use of a separation technique removes the need to make any assumptions with regard to the structure of the delay functionals, thus making our results applicable to a larger class of systems. Given...

1. Introduction The multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technique incorporating space-time coding is a candidate for the next generation high performance wireless communication systems. The MIMO technique employs multiple-element antennas to establish spatial subchannels to improve spectrum efficiency. The promised increase in channel capacity by MIMO is possible only if rich-scattering is present ...

The paper proposes derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filtering for MIMO nonlinear dynamical systems. The considered nonlinear filtering scheme which is based on differential flatness theory extends the class of systems to which Kalman Filtering can be applied without the need for calculation of Jacobian matrices. To deduce if a dynamical system is differentially flat, the following should be exa...

This paper deals with disturbance rejection with global stabilization of a class of nonlinear multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) systems using output feedback. The class of nonlinear MIMO systems are assumed to be transformed into an upperblock-triangular structure with each block in the output feedback form with respect to its own state variables, and the interactions among the outputs are allowe...
