Much evidence indicates that synchronized gamma-frequency (20-70 Hz) oscillation plays a significant functional role in the neocortex and hippocampus. Chattering neuron is a possible neocortical pacemaker for the gamma oscillation. Based on our recent model of chattering neurons, here we study how gamma-frequency bursting is synchronized in a network of these neurons. Using a phase oscillator d...

In this paper, we consider the time minimal problem for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. We investigate, on a simplified model, the existence of singular extremals and discuss their optimality status. Moreover, we prove that singular extremals corresponding to the angular acceleration are of order 2. We produce in this case a semicanonical form of our Hamiltonian system and we can conclude the...

Sliding mode control with a fuzzy boundary layer is presented to hydraulic position control problem in this paper. A nonlinear hydraulic servomechanism which has an asymmetric cylinder is modeled and simulated first, then the proposed control scheme is applied to this model versus the conventional sliding mode control. Simulation results proved that the chattering free position control is achie...

The goal is to achieve system robustness against parameter variations and external disturbances. Suitable PID control gain parameters can be systematically on-line computed according to the developed adaptive law. To reduce the high frequency chattering in the switching part of the controller, the boundary layer technique is utilized. The proposed method controller is applied to a brushless DC ...

This paper present new approach in robust indirect rotor field oriented (IRFOC) induction motor (IM) control. The introduction of new exponential reaching law (ERL) based sliding mode control (SMC) improve significantly the performances compared to the conventional SMC which are well known susceptible to the annoying chattering phenomenon, so, the elimination of the chattering is achieved while...

In the urban traffic mode, the engine is known to be operated mostly in a transient state. However, the wide operating range, the inherent nonlinearities of the induction process and the large modeling uncertainties make the design of the fuelinjection controller very difficult. Even though a sliding mode fuel-injection control method is in good agreement with the characteristics of the system,...

Aiming at the inaccurately modeling and some uncertain existing in servo system seriously affected the control quality and the instability problem, sliding mode control algorithm with improved reaching law is proposed in this paper. The improved reaching law is used to weaken the chattering problem existing in the sliding mode control. Also the kalman filter is used to inhibit the interference,...

An improved sliding mode observer is presented to estimate the rotor position of the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). In this observer, the discontinuous control is replaced by using the sigmoid function in order to reduce the chattering problem commonly found in the conventional sliding mode observer. When the chattering is reduced, the back emf can be obtained directly from the sw...
