In this paper we study the problem of equalizing a communications channel from an H 1 point of view. H 1 estimation theory has been recently introduced as a method for designing lters that have acceptable performance in the face of model uncertainty and lack of statistical information on the exogenous signals. The approach may therefore be attractive for channel equalization problems where rapi...

The partial phase behavior of systems composed of lecithin/isopropyl myristate (IPM)/water or ketorolac tromethamine (KT) solutions (2.5, 5, 10 and 50% w/w) at various lecithin/IPM weight ratios (km) have been investigated by the construction of phase diagrams. A commercially available soybean lecithin (namely, Epikuron 200, phosphatidylcholine purity greater than 95%) was used in this study. P...

In this paper, we develop a method to design the input control to track the output of a nonminimum-phase nonlinear systems asymptotically. The design of the control inputs is based on an exact linearization. To perform the exact linearization, the other output should be selected such that its relative degree is equal to the dimension of the system. Furthermore, the desired output of the output ...

We propose a framework for inversion-based estimation of certain categories of faults in discrete-time linear systems. First, we develop a novel methodology for direct estimation of unknown inputs by using only measurements of either minimum or non-minimum phase systems as well as systems with transmission zeros on the unit circle. The unknown input is reconstructed from its projections onto tw...

This paper presents an Internal Model Control (IMC) structure designed for a class of continuous linear underactuated systems. The study treats the case of Minimum Phase (MP) systems and those whose zero dynamics are not necessarily stable. The proposed IMC structure is based on a specific controller which is obtained by the realization of an approximate inverse of the model plant. It is shown ...

The present paper presents a new contribution to the design of output regulators for a class of nonlinear systems characterized by a possibly unstable zero dynamics. It is shown that the problem in question can be reduced to a stabilization problem, with a supplementary ‘‘gain constraint’’, for a suitably defined reduced auxiliary plant. © 2009 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, we propose a framework for output tracking control of both minimum phase (MP) and non-minimum phase (NMP) discrete-time linear systems. Towards this end, we first address the problem of unknown state and input reconstruction of non-minimum phase systems. An unknown input observer (UIO) is designed that accurately reconstructs the minimum phase states of the system. The reconstruc...

In this manuscript, a new method is proposed to provide a perfect tracking of the supercavitation system based on a new two-state model. The tracking of the pitch rate and angle of attack for fin and cavitator input is of the aim. The pitch rate of the supercavitation with respect to fin angle is found as a non-minimum phase behavior. This effect reduces the speed of command pitch rate. Control...
