this paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order mimo nonlinear multi-agent systems. the agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. the communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. a distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...

saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) can exhibit sustained oscillations during the operation in a continuous bioreactor that adversely affects its stability and productivity. because of heterogeneous nature of cell populations, the cell population balance equation (pbe) can be used to capture the dynamic behavior of such cultures. in this work, an unstructured-segregated model is used for d...

‎here‎, ‎we give a two phases algorithm based on integrating differential evolution (de) algorithm with modified hybrid genetic algorithm (mhga) for solving the associated nonlinear programming problem of a nonlinear optimal control problem‎. ‎in the first phase‎, ‎de starts with a completely random initial population where each individual‎, ‎or solution‎, ‎is a random matrix of control input v...

in this paper, a new smooth second order sliding mode control is proposed. this algorithm is a modified form of super twisting algorithm. the super twisting guarantees the asymptotic stability, but the finite time stability of proposed method is proved with introducing a new particular lyapunov function. the proposed algorithm which is able to control nonlinear systems with matched structured u...

in this paper, an optimal control of quadratic performance index with nonlinear constrained is presented. the sine-cosine wavelet operational matrix of integration and product matrix are introduced and applied to reduce nonlinear differential equations to the nonlinear algebraic equations. then, the newton-raphson method is used for solving these sets of algebraic equations. to present ability ...
