    This paper investigates the problem of decentralized model reference adaptive control (MRAC) for a class of large scale systems with time varying delays in interconnected terms and state and input delays. The upper bounds of the interconnection terms are considered to be unknown. Time varying delays in the nonlinear interconnection terms are bounded and nonnegative continuous functions and their derivatives are not necessarily less than one. Moreover, a simple and practical method based on periodic characteristics of reference model is established to predict the future states and input delay compensation. It is shown that the solutions of uncertain large-scale time-delay interconnected system converge uniformly exponentially to a desired small ball. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches are illustrated by a numerical example and a chemical reactor system

    Accurate alignment and vertical channel instability play an important role in the strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS), especially in the case that precise navigation has to be achieved over long periods of time. Due to poor initialization as well as the cumulative errors of low-cost inertial measurement units (IMUs), initial alignment is not sufficient to achieve required navigation accuracy. Concerning this problem, in the paper, misalignment error is dynamically modeled and in-motion alignment is provided based on position and velocity matching. It is revealed that, using misalignment error, orientation estimation can be properly corrected. Moreover, to prevent the instability effects of the vertical channel, decomposed SINS error model is derived. In the decomposed SINS error model, the navigation states in the vertical channel are separated from those in the horizontal plane. Two-step estimation process is developed for the integration of the aforementioned SINS error dynamics with the measurements provided by global positioning system (GPS) and fifteen-state SINS/GPS mechanization is presented. The assessment of the proposed approach is conducted in airborne tes

    In this paper, H∞ controller is synthesized for networked systems subject to random transmission delays with known upper bound and different occurrence probabilities in the both of feedback (sensor to controller) and forward (controller to actuator) channels. A remote observer is employed to improve the performance of the system by computing non-delayed estimates of the sates. The closed-loop system is described in the framework of switched systems; then, a switched Lyapunov function is utilized to obtain conditions to determine the gains of the observer and controller such that robust asymptotic stability of the system is assured. Two illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the real-world applicability and superiority of the proposed approach compared to some rival ones in the literature

    This paper is concerned with the problem of design and implementation a robust adaptive control strategy for flexible joint electrically driven robots (FJEDR), while considering to the constraints on the actuator voltage input. The control design procedure is based on function approximation technique, to avoid saturation besides being robust against both structured and unstructured uncertainties associated with external disturbances and un-modeled-dynamics. Stability proof of the overall closed-loop system is given via the Lyapunov direct method. The analytical studies as well as experimental results produced using MATLAB/SIMULINK external mode control on a single-link flexible joint electrically driven robot demonstrate high performance of the proposed control schemes

    The data grid technology, which uses the scale of the Internet to solve storage limitation for the huge amount of data, has become one of the hot research topics. Recently, data replication strategies have been widely employed in distributed environment to copy frequently accessed data in suitable sites. The primary purposes are shortening distance of file transmission and achieving files from nearby locations to requested sites so as to minimize retrieval time and bandwidth usage. In this paper, we propose a new replica selection strategy, which based on response time and security. However, replication should be used wisely because the storage size of each Data Grid site is limited. We also present a new replica replacement strategy based on the availability of the file, the last time the replica was requested, number of access, and size of replica. The simulation results report that the proposed strategy can effectively improve mean job time, bandwidth consumption for data delivery, and data availability as compared with those of the tested algorithms

    Dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) of nonlinear systems using neural networks is proposed. In DSMC the chattering is removed due to the integrator which is placed before the input control signal of the plant. However, in DSMC the augmented system is one dimension bigger than the actual system i.e. the states number of augmented system is more than the actual system and then to control of such a system, we must to know and to identify the new states or the plant model should be completely known. To solve this problem, we suggest two online neural networks to identify and to obtain a model for the unknown nonlinear system. In the first approach, the neural network training law is based on the available system states and the bound of observer error is not proved to converge to zero. The advantageous of the second training law is only using of the system output and the observer error converges to zero based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. To verify these approaches Duffing-Holmes chaotic systems (DHC) is useD

    In this research, as the main contribution, a comprehensive study is carried out on the mathematical modeling and analysis of the inverse kinematics and dynamics of an over-constraint three translational degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator. Due to the inconsistency between the number of equations and unknowns, the problem of obtaining the constraint forces and torques of an over-constraint manipulators do not admit solution, which can be regarded as one of the drawbacks of such mechanisms. In this paper, in order to overcome this problem and circumvent the inconsistency between the number of equations and unknowns, for the under study mechanism, two of the revolute joints attached to the end-effector are changed into a universal and a spherical joint without changing the motion pattern of the manipulator under study. Then, the dynamical equations of the manipulator are obtained based on the Newton–Euler approach and a simple and compact formulation is provided and all the joint forces and torques are presented. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the obtained formulated model, a motion for the end-effector as case study is performed, and it has been shown that the results of the analytical model are in good agreement with those obtained from SimMechanics model. Finally, the Root Mean Square Error is calculated between the analytical model and the results obtained from the simulation and experimental study

    The forecast of fluctuations and prices is the major concern in financial markets. Thus, developing an accurate and robust forecasting decision model is critically favorable to the investors. As gold has shown a special capability to smooth inflation fluctuations, governors use gold as a price controlling lever. Thus, more information about future gold price trends will help to make the firm decisions. This paper attempts to propose an intelligent model founded by artificial neural networks (ANNs) to project future prices of gold. The proposed intelligent network is equipped with a meta-heuristic algorithm called BAT algorithm to make ANN capable of following fluctuations. The designed model is compared to that of a published scientific paper and other competitive models such as Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), ANN, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Network, Radial Basis Function (RBF) Neural Network and Generalized Regression Neural Networks (GRNN). In order to evaluate model performance, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) was employed as an error index. Results showed that the proposed BAT-Neural Network (BNN) outperforms both traditional and modern forecasting models

    Fossil energy markets have always been known as strategic and important markets. They have a significant impact on the macro economy and financial markets of the world. The nature of these markets are accompanied by sudden shocks and volatility in the prices. Therefore, they must be controlled and forecasted by using appropriate tools. This paper adopts the Generalized Auto Regressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (GARCH)-type models, Exponential Smoothing (ES)-type models, and classic model in order to multiple-step-ahead forecast volatility, Value at Risk, and Conditional Value at Risk of Brent oil and natural gas in two different estimation window lengths, respectively. To evaluate the accuracy of the aforementioned models, eight different loss functions are utilized. The results show that, across all forecasting horizons and subsamples used, the Holt-Winters Exponential Smoothing (HWES) model, in comparison with GARCH-type models and classic model, provides more accurate forecasting of the volatility, Value at Risk, and Conditional Value at Risk, respectively. Therefore, the HWES model is proposed to multiple-step-ahead forecast these measures in fossil energy markets
