This paper deals with the problem of distributed H∞ consensus filtering for a continuous-time Itô-type stochastic system with Wiener process disturbances and Markovian coupling intercommunication delays. The problem is solved based on distributed H∞ filters in combination with consensus strategies. The set of filter nodes form a communication network whose topology is modeled by a directed grap...

In this study, the analysis of transient thermoelastic response of a functionally graded (FG) non-axisymmetric viscoelastic cylinder is presented. The material properties are assumed to be time- dependent and radially and circumferentially non-homogeneous. The finite element (FE) formulations of the thermoelastic problem are obtained using the virtual work method and all the coupling terms are ...

In this paper, a distributed method for reactive power management in a distribution system has been presented. The proposed method focuses on the voltage rise where the distribution systems are equipped with a considerable number of photovoltaic units. This paper proposes the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMMs) approach for solving the optimal voltage control problem in a distri...

In this paper, an enhanced computational code was developed using finite-volume method for solving the incompressible natural convection flow within the cylindrical cavities. Grids were generated by an easy method with a view to computer program providing. An explicit integration algorithm was applied to find the steady state condition. Also instead of the conventional algorithms of SIMPLE, SIM...

Coupled oscillators are prevalent throughout the physical world. Dynamical system formulations of weakly coupled oscillator systems have proven effective at capturing the properties of real-world systems and are compelling models of neural systems. However, these formulations usually deal with the forward problem: simulating a system from known coupling parameters. Here we provide a solution to...

In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the coupling between the isometric projections of two square matrices of dimensions m and n. This coupling is defined as an inner product between the matrices. This is a non-convex optimization problem with isometry constraints on the variables. The optimization set is an equinormed set and we develop a gradient-type algorithm to solve the pr...

We develop a strong coupling approach for a general lattice problem. We argue that this strong coupling perspective represents the natural framework for a generalization of the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). The main result of this analysis is twofold: (1) It provides the tools for a unified treatment of any nonlocal contribution to the Hamiltonian. Within our scheme, nonlocal terms such a...

Excessive coupling between object-oriented classes in systems is generally acknowledged as harmful and is recognised as a maintenance problem that can result in a higher propensity for faults in systems and a „stored up‟ future problem. Characterisation and understanding coupling at different levels of abstraction is therefore important for both the project manager and developer both of whom ha...
