On the validity of memristor modeling in the neural network literature
An analysis of the literature shows that there are two types of
non-memristive models that have been widely used in the modeling of so-called
"memristive" neural networks. Here, we demonstrate that such models have
nothing in common with the concept of memristive elements: they describe either
non-linear resistors or certain bi-state systems, which all are devices without
memory. Therefore, the results presented in a significant number of
publications are at least questionable, if not completely irrelevant to the
actual field of memristive neural networks
Stabilization of a linear Korteweg-de Vries equation with a saturated internal control
This article deals with the design of saturated controls in the context of
partial differential equations. It is focused on a linear Korteweg-de Vries
equation, which is a mathematical model of waves on shallow water surfaces. In
this article, we close the loop with a saturating input that renders the
equation nonlinear. The well-posedness is proven thanks to the nonlinear
semigroup theory. The proof of the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop
system uses a Lyapunov function.Comment: European Control Conference, Jul 2015, Linz, Austri
Permanence and Global Attractivity of a Discrete Logistic Model with Impulses
By piecewise Euler method, we construct a discrete logistic equation with impulses. The constructed model is more easily implemented at computer and is a better analogue of the continuous-time dynamic system. The dynamic behaviors of the constructed model are investigated. Sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence and the global attractivity of positive solutions of the model are obtained. Numerical simulations show the feasibility of the main results
A looped-functional approach for robust stability analysis of linear impulsive systems
A new functional-based approach is developed for the stability analysis of
linear impulsive systems. The new method, which introduces looped-functionals,
considers non-monotonic Lyapunov functions and leads to LMIs conditions devoid
of exponential terms. This allows one to easily formulate dwell-times results,
for both certain and uncertain systems. It is also shown that this approach may
be applied to a wider class of impulsive systems than existing methods. Some
examples, notably on sampled-data systems, illustrate the efficiency of the
approach.Comment: 13 pages, 2 figures, Accepted at Systems & Control Letter
Stabilising Model Predictive Control for Discrete-time Fractional-order Systems
In this paper we propose a model predictive control scheme for constrained
fractional-order discrete-time systems. We prove that all constraints are
satisfied at all time instants and we prescribe conditions for the origin to be
an asymptotically stable equilibrium point of the controlled system. We employ
a finite-dimensional approximation of the original infinite-dimensional
dynamics for which the approximation error can become arbitrarily small. We use
the approximate dynamics to design a tube-based model predictive controller
which steers the system state to a neighbourhood of the origin of controlled
size. We finally derive stability conditions for the MPC-controlled system
which are computationally tractable and account for the infinite dimensional
nature of the fractional-order system and the state and input constraints. The
proposed control methodology guarantees asymptotic stability of the
discrete-time fractional order system, satisfaction of the prescribed
constraints and recursive feasibility
