Studying Transition Behavior of Neutron Point Kinetics Equations Using the Lyapunov Exponent Method [PDF]

Journal of Sciences, Islamic Republic of Iran, 2016
The neutron density is one of the most important dynamical parameters in a reactor. It is directly related to the control and stability of the reactor power. Any change in applied reactivity and some of dynamical parameters in the reactor causes a change

String‐Stable Platooning Control of Connected Automated Vehicles Under Non‐Uniform Stochastic Communication Delays

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with the platooning control problem of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) under non‐uniform stochastic vehicle‐to‐vehicle (V2V) communication delays. Most existing relevant studies assume uniform or deterministic or slowly varying delays, or design platoon controllers based on worst‐case delay bounds, resulting in ...

Lyapunov Function based Criteria for Ship Rolling in Random Beam Seas

Polish Maritime Research, 2019
The aim of this study is to present a Lyapunov function which can be used to derive an intact stability criterion for a ship in random beam seas. First, the mathematical model of the rolling motion of ships in random beam seas is introduced.

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

Stabilization of nonlinear safety-critical systems by relaxed converse Lyapunov-barrier approach and its applications in robotic systems

Autonomous Intelligent Systems
Combining safety objectives with stability objectives is crucial for safety-critical systems. Existing studies generally unified these two objectives by constructing Lyapunov-type barrier functions. However, insufficient analysis of key set relationships

Discrete Implementations Modify the Intuition of Final Set Adjustment in Barrier Function Based Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper establishes an implementation‐aware framework for Barrier Function Adaptation (BFA) and shows that discrete‐time realizations fundamentally alter the logic of final‐set adjustment. In particular, sufficient conditions are derived to preserve the key benefits of BFA (predefined performance, gain adaptation with uncertain perturbation

Exact Robust Filtering and Differentiation Based on Sliding Modes and Homogeneity

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article addresses the problem of online estimation of the derivatives of a signal corrupted by measurement noise. The measured signal is modeled as the sum of a smooth nominal component and a uniformly bounded noise term. A key objective is to attenuate the effect of high‐frequency noise.

High‐Order Sliding‐Mode control for MIMO Systems

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper extends Lyapunov‐based homogeneous high‐order sliding‐mode control to a class of uncertain non‐square multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with a well‐defined vector relative degree. The considered systems admit a normal‐form representation with an uncertain but full‐row‐rank input‐gain matrix.

Gradient‐ and Newton‐Based Unit Vector Extremum Seeking Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes new methods for stable and efficient convergence in multivariable extremum seeking control (ESC) using sliding mode techniques. Inspired by classical sliding modes and finite‐time control, the approach integrates these ideas into gradient‐ and Newton‐based ESC schemes with sinusoidal perturbations.

Validation of Neural Network Controllers for Uncertain Systems Using the Keep‐Close Approach: Robustness Analysis and Safety Verification

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The safety verification of neural network (NN) controllers operating in uncertain environments characterized by unmodeled dynamics, nonlinearities, and time delays remains a fundamental challenge in robust control analysis. This article introduces a novel method, termed Keep‐Close, for analyzing the performance and robustness of uncertain ...
