This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...

The objective of this study is to design a robust direct model reference adaptive controller (DMRAC) for a nonlinear cardiovascular model over a range of plant parameters representing a variety of physical conditions. The direct adaptive controllers used in thisd study require the plant to be almost strictly positive real (ASPR) that is, for a plant to be controlled there must exist a feedback ...

In this paper, a class of MIMO nonlinear systems are studied. Some frequency domain conditions are established for the property of dichotomy. These kinds of systems can also be viewed as a class of interconnected systems composed of SISO systems through some linear and nonlinear interconnections. A class of nonlinear input and output interconnections are presented. The corresponding condition f...

abstract process of evapotranspiration (eto) is a major component of the hydrologic cycle that its accurate estimation plays an important role to achieve sustainable development in water balance, irrigation system design and planning and management of water resources. being a function of different metrological parameters and their interactions, evapotranspiration is a complex, nonlinear phenome...
