"nOutput
Feedback Control for a Class
of MIMO Nonlinear
Systems"
by
Dr. Tony Zhang
Oklahoma
State Univesity
Multi-Agent
Robotics Hybrid and Embedded
Systems Lab
School of Electrical &
Computer Eng.
Location:
L-311
Abstract
| A
new continuous output feedback
control mechanism is developed
for output tracking for a
class of high-order
multi-input nonlinear systems
with an input gain matrix that
is positive definite but non-
symmetric. The controller
yields semiglobal uniformly
ultimately bounded (SGUUB)
tracking while
compensating for unstructured
uncertainty in both the drift
vector and the input matrix.
First, a full-state
feedback controller is
designed based on limited
assumptions on the structure
of the system nonlinearities
and the controller is proven
to yield SGUUB tracking
through a Lyapunov-based
analysis. Then, an output
feedback control design based
on a high gain observer is
proposed. A comprehensive
stability analysis of
the closed-loop system under
output feedback\ is carried
out and a recovery of the
state feedback SGUUB result is
demonstrated for the output
feedback control system.
Neural network estimation
method is employed in both
state and output feedback
control design to feedforward
compensate for the nonlinear
system uncertainty. |

& Visiting Professor at

| Abstract:
By mapping the genomes of a
growing number of organisms,
we are finally approaching the
stage where bioinformatics can
be used to combat widespread
diseases. In this talk, I will
describe some of the work that
is currently being done to
understand and combat malaria
- one of the most common and
deadly parasitic diseases.
After providing some
background on malaria, I will
describe how biology and
computer algorithms are
combined in the search for a
strategy to limit its effects.
Along the way, we will learn a
bit about topics such as
protein mapping, neural
networks, and the ongoing war
between parasite and immune
system. |

Multiconductor
Transmission Lines in EMC
Analysis
(An
EM Topological Approach.)
by
Dr. Radian G. Belu
11
AM - 12 Noon (L-305)
Co-Sponsored
by Hispanic Society of
Professional Engineers
| The
problems related to
the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) in
electrical and
electronic systems
become more in more
important in the last
two decades, due to
increase of the use of
microelectronics,
digital systems,
computers, etc., which
require much lower
voltages and currents
to operate than
electromechanical
systems or earlier
analog electronics
systems. In this
presentation we
describe a set of
numerical techniques
to solve lossy
multiconductor
transmission line (MTL)
networks, which
contain non-linear
lumped circuits in the
junctions. The method
is based on the
topological approach
of solving
electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC)
problems. We use
finite-difference
technique to solve the
time-domain MTL
equations on tubes as
well as the modified
nodal analysis (MNA)
formulation of the
non-linear lumped
circuits in the
junctions. The
important
consideration is the
interface between the
MTL and the MNA
regimes. The interface
is accomplished via
the first and last
finite-difference pair
on each MTL of the
network, and, except
for this, the two
regimes are solved
independently of each
other. The advantage
of the
finite-difference
time-domain method is
that the MTL equations
may contain
distributed source
terms representing the
coupling with an
external EM field.
These methods are
applied to previously
published examples of
multiconductor
transmission line
networks solved by
using other numerical
techniques and the
results agree
exceptionally well.
The case of external
coupling is also
considered and a
demonstration of
cross-talk modeling
and analysis in
interconnection
structures is given. |
