in this paper, under the existence of system uncertainties, external disturbances, and input nonlinearity, global finite time synchronization between two identical attractors which belong to a class of second-order chaotic nonlinear gyros are achieved by considering a method of continuous smooth second-order sliding mode control (hoamsc). it is proved that the proposed controller is robust to m...

this work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. by linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. the linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. the uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

An iterative method for the low-rank approximate solution of a class of generalized Lyapunov equations is studied. At each iteration, a standard Lyapunov is solved using Galerkin projection with an extended Krylov subspace method. This Lyapunov equation is solved inexactly, thus producing a nonstationary iteration. Several theoretical and computational issues are discussed so as to make the ite...

This paper proposes a recursive method of constructing weak-control-Lyapunov functions for nonlinear systems. Lyapunov function is one of effective tools to study stability and stabilization in nonlinear system control design. However, a general way of finding Lyapunov functions has not been known yet. Our method is introduced by an explicit topological-geometric assumption for a state space ma...

The Lyapunov stability method is the most popular and applicable stability analysis tool of nonlinear dynamic systems. However, there are some bottlenecks in the Lyapunov method, such as need for negative definiteness of the Lyapunov function derivative in the direction of the system’s solutions. In this paper, we develop a new theorem to dispense the need for negative definite-ness of Lyapunov...

Some new Lyapunov type theorems for stochastic difference equations with continuous time are proven. It is shown that these theorems simplify an application of Lyapunov functionals construction method.

This is the first paper to present such a digital redesign method for the (conventional) OKID system and apply this novel technique for nonlinear system identification. First, the Observer/Kalman filter Identification (OKID) method is used to obtain the lower-order state-space model for a stochastic chaos system. Then, a digital redesign approach with the high-gain property is applied to improv...

We develop a method for calculating the Lyapunov characteristic exponents of lattice gauge theories. The complete Lyapunov spectrum of SU(2) gauge theory is obtained and Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is calculated. Rapid convergence with lattice size is found. In Ref.1, we have studied chaos in lattice gauge systems by obtaining the largest Lyapunov exponents. The method used there, though straightf...
