چکیده

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a scalar homotopy in the Vinnicombe metric between two given transfer functions are presented. Previous results show that for multivariable transfer functions, the existence of a homotopy is related to a winding number condition on the homotopy end-points. Here, it is shown that for scalar transfer functions the existence of a homotopy is also related to a Cauchy index condition. Extensive use is made of the relationship, previously noted by Brockett, between the Cauchy index of a real function and the argument of a particular related complex function.

TOPOLOGY OPTIMIZATION OF PLANE STRUCTURES USING BINARY LEVEL SET METHOD AND ISOGEOMETRIC ANALYSIS

This paper presents the topology optimization of plane structures using a binary level set (BLS) approach and isogeometric analysis (IGA). In the standard level set method, the domain boundary is descripted as an isocountour of a scalar function of a higher dimensionality. The evolution of this boundary is governed by Hamilton–Jacobi equation. In the BLS method, the interfaces of subdomai...

Predicting the Coefficients of Antoine Equation Using the Artificial Neural Network (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Neural network is one of the new soft computing methods commonly used for prediction of the thermodynamic properties of pure fluids and mixtures. In this study, we have used this soft computing method to predict the coefficients of the Antoine vapor pressure equation. Three transfer functions of tan-sigmoid (tansig), log-sigmoid (logsig), and linear were used to evaluate the performance of diff...

An Alexandroff topology on graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a locally finite graph, i.e. a graph in which every vertex has finitely many adjacent vertices. In this paper, we associate a topology to G, called graphic topology of G and we show that it is an Alexandroff topology, i.e. a topology in which intersec- tion of every family of open sets is open. Then we investigate some properties of this topology. Our motivation is to give an e...

Automating Transfer Function Design Based on Topology Analysis

Direct Volume Rendering (DVR) is commonly used to visualize scalar fields. Quality and significance of rendered images depend on the choice of appropriate transfer functions that assigns optical properties (e.g., color and opacity) to scalar values. We present a method that automatically generates a transfer function based on the topological behavior of a scalar field. Given a scalar field defi...

A class of multi-agent discrete hybrid non linearizable systems: Optimal controller design based on quasi-Newton algorithm for a class of sign-undefinite hessian cost functions

 In the present paper, a class of hybrid, nonlinear and non linearizable dynamic systems is considered. The noted dynamic system is generalized to a multi-agent configuration. The interaction of agents is presented based on graph theory and finally, an interaction tensor defines the multi-agent system in leader-follower consensus in order to design a desirable controller for the noted system. A...
