A complete algorithm is presented for the sharpening of imprecise information, based on the methodology of kernel estimators and the Bayes decision rule, including conditioning factors. The use of the Bayes rule with a nonsymmetrical loss function enables the inclusion of different results of an under- and overestimation of a sharp value (real number), as well as minimizing potential losses. A conditional...
This paper improves controller synthesis of discrete Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems based on non-quadratic Lyapunov functions, making it possible to accomplish various kinds of control performance specifications such as decay rate conditions, requirements on control input and output and disturbance rejection. These extensions can be implemented via linear matrix inequalities, which are numerically solvable...
A controller architecture for nonlinear systems described by Gaussian RBF neural networks is proposed. The controller is a stabilising solution to a class of nonlinear optimal state tracking problems and consists of a combination of a state feedback stabilising regulator and a feedforward neuro-controller. The state feedback stabilising regulator is computed online by transforming the tracking problem...
The main contribution of this work is to provide two algorithms for the computation of the minimal polynomial of univariate polynomial matrices. The first algorithm is based on the solution of linear matrix equations while the second one employs DFT techniques. The whole theory is illustrated with examples.
An observability problem for a class of linear, uncertain-parameter, time-invariant dynamic SISO systems is discussed. The class of systems under consideration is described by a finite dimensional state-space equation with an interval diagonal state matrix, known control and output matrices and a two-dimensional uncertain parameter space. For the system considered a simple geometric interpretation...
In this paper we introduce a new modeling paradigm for developing a decision process representation called the Colored Decision Process Petri Net (CDPPN). It extends the Colored Petri Net (CPN) theoretic approach including Markov decision processes. CPNs are used for process representation taking advantage of the formal semantic and the graphical display. A Markov decision process is utilized as a...
This paper considers the properties of a minimum variance self-tuning tracker for MIMO systems described by ARMAX models. It is assumed that the stochastic noise has a non-Gaussian distribution. Such an assumption introduces into a recursive algorithm a nonlinear transformation of the prediction error. The system under consideration is minimum phase with different dimensions for input and output vectors...
This paper deals with a class of uncertain systems with time-varying delays and norm-bounded uncertainty. The stability and stabilizability of this class of systems are considered. LinearMatrix Inequalities (LMI) delay-dependent sufficient conditions for both stability and stabilizability and their robustness are established.
A multi-robot environment with a STRIPS representation is considered. Under some assumptions such problems can be modelled as a STRIPS language (for instance, a Block World environment) with one initial state and a disjunction of goal states. If the STRIPS planning problem is invertible, then it is possible to apply the machinery for planning in the presence of incomplete information to solve the...
