In this chapter, we present some emerging directions in bifurcation control in continuous-time dynamical systems. Specifically we discuss two unconventional bifurcation control problems: anti-control of bifurcations and nonsmooth bifurcation control. Anti-control of bifurcation means introducing a new bifurcation at desired location with preferred properties by appropriate control. Nonsmooth bi...

Abstract Water distribution networks (WDNs) are an important part of water systems and responsible for transportation from the reservoirs to demand nodes at adequate pressure velocity. In present paper, synthesis WDN is treated as optimization problem with a mixed integer nonlinear programming formulation. The objective function be minimized total network cost, considering installation energy c...

In this paper, an adaptive event-triggered asymptotic tracking control problem is addressed for switched nonlinear systems with unknown directions. existing schemes, the proposed controller not directly aimed at original system, which affects performance. Different from based on law constructed in paper. The guarantees that error ς1 asymptotically converges to origin. Finally, effectiveness of ...
