A New Robust Controller with Applications to Bioreactors
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 In this work an anaerobic digester is controlled using input‐output linearization and Lyapunov‐like function methods. It is assumed that model parameters are unknown, time‐varying, and bounded, and upper or lower bounds are also unknown. To tackle the effect of input saturation, a state observer is designed. The tracking and observer errors are defined

A Dynamic Analysis for an Anaerobic Digester: Stability and Bifurcation Branches
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 This work presents a dynamic analysis for an anaerobic digester, supported on the analytical application of the indirect Lyapunov method. The mass‐balance model considered is based on two biological reaction pathways and involves both Monod and Haldane representations of the specific biomass growth rates.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 This paper shows a study, both analytical and numerical, of a continuous‐time dynamical system associated with a simple model of a wastewater biorreactor. Nonsmooth phenomena and border‐collision local bifurcations appear when the main parameters (dilution and biomass concentration at the inflow) are varied.

L ∞ -algebras and the perturbiner expansion
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 Certain classical field theories admit a formal multi-particle solution, known as the perturbiner expansion, that serves as a generating function for all the tree-level scattering amplitudes and the Berends-Giele recursion relations they satisfy. In this

Adaptive Quasi‐Sliding Mode Control for Permanent Magnet DC Motor
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 The motor speed of a buck power converter and DC motor coupled system is controlled by means of a quasi‐sliding scheme. The fixed point inducting control technique and the zero average dynamics strategy are used in the controller design. To estimate the load and friction torques an online estimator, computed by the least mean squares method, is used ...

Adaptive Control for Nonlinear Systems with Time‐Varying Control Gain
Journal of Control Science and Engineering, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We propose a scheme for nonlinear plants with time‐varying control gain and time‐varying plant coefficients, on the basis of a plant model consisting of a Brunovsky‐type model with polynomials as approximators. We develop an adaptive robust control scheme for this plant, under the following assumptions: (i) the plant terms involve time‐varying but ...

Bifurcations in a Generalization of the ZAD Technique: Application to a DC‐DC Buck Power Converter
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 A variation of ZAD technique is proposed, which is to extend the range of zero averaging of the switching surface (in the classic ZAD it is taken in a sampling period), to a number K of sampling periods. This has led to a technique that has been named K‐ZAD. Assuming a specific value for K = 2, we have studied the 2‐ZAD technique.

Applied Sciences, 2021 Solar irradiance is an available resource that could support electrification in regions that are low on socio-economic indices. Therefore, it is increasingly important to understand the behavior of solar irradiance. and data on solar irradiance.

Quantization Effects on Period Doubling Route to Chaos in a ZAD‐Controlled Buck Converter
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 The quantization effect in transitions to chaos and periodic orbits is analyzed in this paper through a specific application, the zero‐average‐dynamics‐ (ZAD‐) controlled buck power converter. Several papers have studied the quantization effects in the one periodic orbit and some authors have given guidelines to design digitally controlled power ...
