Partial differential equations (PDEs) pose a challenge for control engineers, both in terms of theory and computational requirements. PDEs are usually approximated by ordinary differential equations or difference equations via the finite difference method, resulting in a high-dimensional state-space system. The obtained system matrix is oftentimes symmetric, which allows this high-dimensional s...

The present study considers a hybrid controller scheme for the optimal switching of a moving (or scanning) actuator (MA) for a class of distributed parameter systems (DPS). The proposed hybrid controller switches both the location and control signal of the actuator at the beginning of a time interval and remains unchanged over the duration of the time-interval. As time progresses, the above pol...

Polarization control is at the heart of high-capacity data optical communication systems, such as polarization-division multiplexers and Stokes vector modulation transmitters. Despite passive polarization being mature, realization monolithically integrated controllers single longitudinal mode light sources, distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers, importance. In this research, we report an AlGaInAs m...

Polymer flooding is one of the most important enhanced oil recovery (EOR) technologies for high temperature and high salinity reservoir. In this paper, an optimal control model of distributed parameter systems (DPS) for polymer injection strategies is established, which involves the performance index as maximum of the profit, the governing equations as the fluid flow equations of polymer floodi...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical solution for a mobile sensor motion trajectory scheduling problem under nonholonomic constraints of a project named MAS-net, which stands for Mobile Actuator-Sensor network. The motivation of the MAS-net project, at the first stage, is to estimate diffusion system parameters by networked mobile sensors. Each sensor is mounted on a differentially-driven ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the stability issue of the meshed DC distributed power systems (DPS) with constant power loads (CPLs) and proposes a stability enhancement method based on virtual harmonic resistance. In previous researches, the network dynamics of the meshed DC DPS are often ignored, which affects the derivation of the equivalent system impendence. In addition, few of them have c...
