Modular Stability Tools for Distributed Computation and Control
نویسنده
چکیده
Much recent functional modelling of the central nervous system, beyond traditional “neural net” approaches, focuses on its distributed computational architecture. This paper discusses extensions of our recent work aimed at understanding this architecture from an overall nonlinear stability and convergence point of view, and at constructing artificial devices exploiting similar modularity. Applications to synchronisation and to schooling are also described. The development makes extensive use of nonlinear contraction theory.

On Event-Triggered Adaptive Architectures for Decentralized and Distributed Control of Large-Scale Modular Systems
The last decade has witnessed an increased interest in physical systems controlled over wireless networks (networked control systems). These systems allow the computation of control signals via processors that are not attached to the physical systems, and the feedback loops are closed over wireless networks. The contribution of this paper is to design and analyze event-triggered decentralized a...
متن کاملMethod for the Distributed Simulation of Multibodies
In this paper, we propose the modular development of the direct violation correction method for the distributed computation of the forward dynamics simulations of constrained mechanical systems. We exploit the natural spatial parallelism of closed-chain linkages, initially, for the modular development of overall dynamics and subsequently, for the distributed numerical simulation of the dynamics...

In this paper, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability in$beta$-homogeneous probabilistic modular spaces via fixed point method for the functional equation[f(x+ky)+f(x-ky)=f(x+y)+f(x-y)+frac{2(k+1)}{k}f(ky)-2(k+1)f(y)]for fixed integers $k$ with $kneq 0,pm1.$
متن کاملNSL/ASL: Distributed Simulation of Modular Neural Networks
As neural systems become large and complex, sophisticated tools are needed to support effective model development and efficient simulation processing. Initially, during model development, rich graphical interfaces linked to powerful programming languages and component libraries are the primary requirement. Later, during model simulation, processing efficiency is the primary concern. Workstation...
متن کاملEFFICIENT SIMULATION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF TOPOLOGY, SHAPE AND SIZE OF MODULAR TRUSS STRUCTURES
The prevalent strategy in the topology optimization phase is to select a subset of members existing in an excessively connected truss, called Ground Structure, such that the overall weight or cost is minimized. Although finding a good topology significantly reduces the overall cost, excessive growth of the size of topology space combined with existence of varied types of design variables challe...
