Improved results on an extended dissipative analysis of neural networks with additive time-varying delays using auxiliary function-based integral inequalities
The issue of extended dissipative analysis for neural networks (NNs) with additive time-varying delays (ATVDs) is examined in this research. Some less conservative sufficient conditions are obtained to ensure the NNs are asymptotically stable and extended dissipative by building the agumented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which is achieved by utilizing some mathematical techniques with improved integral inequalities like auxiliary function-based integral inequalities (gives a tighter upper bound). The present study aims to solve the , passivity and --dissipativity performance in a unified framework based on the extended dissipativity concept. Following this, the condition for the solvability of the designed NNs with ATVDs is presented in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the practicality and effectiveness of this approach were demonstrated through four numerical examples
Dissipative Stabilization of Linear Systems with Time-Varying General Distributed Delays (Complete Version)
New methods are developed for the stabilization of a linear system with
general time-varying distributed delays existing at the system's states, inputs
and outputs. In contrast to most existing literature where the function of
time-varying delay is continuous and bounded, we assume it to be bounded and
measurable. Furthermore, the distributed delay kernels can be any
square-integrable function over a bounded interval, where the kernels are
handled directly by using a decomposition scenario without using
approximations. By constructing a Krasovski\u{i} functional via the application
of a novel integral inequality, sufficient conditions for the existence of a
dissipative state feedback controller are derived in terms of matrix
inequalities without utilizing the existing reciprocally convex combination
lemmas. The proposed synthesis (stability) conditions, which take dissipativity
into account, can be either solved directly by a standard numerical solver of
semidefinite programming if they are convex, or reshaped into linear matrix
inequalities, or solved via a proposed iterative algorithm. To the best of our
knowledge, no existing methods can handle the synthesis problem investigated in
this paper. Finally, numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the
effectiveness of the proposed methodologies.Comment: Accepted by Automatic
Variance-constrained multiobjective control and filtering for nonlinear stochastic systems: A survey
The multiobjective control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems with variance constraints are surveyed. First, the concepts of nonlinear stochastic systems are recalled along with the introduction of some recent advances. Then, the covariance control theory, which serves as a practical method for multi-objective control design as well as a foundation for linear system theory, is reviewed comprehensively. The multiple design requirements frequently applied in engineering practice for the use of evaluating system performances are introduced, including robustness, reliability, and dissipativity. Several design techniques suitable for the multi-objective variance-constrained control and filtering problems for nonlinear stochastic systems are discussed. In particular, as a special case for the multi-objective design problems, the mixed H 2 / H ∞ control and filtering problems are reviewed in great detail. Subsequently, some latest results on the variance-constrained multi-objective control and filtering problems for the nonlinear stochastic systems are summarized. Finally, conclusions are drawn, and several possible future research directions are pointed out
Finite-time Stability, Dissipativity and Passivity Analysis of Discrete-time Neural Networks Time-varying Delays
The neural network time-varying delay was described as the dynamic properties of a neural cell, including neural functional and neural delay differential equations. The differential expression explains the derivative term of current and past state. The objective of this paper obtained the neural network time-varying delay. A delay-dependent condition is provided to ensure the considered discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays to be finite-time stability, dissipativity, and passivity. This paper using a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional as well as the free-weighting matrix approach and a linear matrix inequality analysis (LMI) technique constructing to a novel sufficient criterion on finite-time stability, dissipativity, and passivity of the discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays for improving. We propose sufficient conditions for discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays. An effective LMI approach derives by base the appropriate type of Lyapunov functional. Finally, we present the effectiveness of novel criteria of finite-time stability, dissipativity, and passivity condition of discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI)
State estimation for discrete-time neural networks with Markov-mode-dependent lower and upper bounds on the distributed delays
Copyright @ 2012 Springer VerlagThis paper is concerned with the state estimation problem for a new class of discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time-delays. The parameters of the neural networks under consideration switch over time subject to a Markov chain. The networks involve both the discrete-time-varying delay and the mode-dependent distributed time-delay characterized by the upper and lower boundaries dependent on the Markov chain. By constructing novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, sufficient conditions are firstly established to guarantee the exponential stability in mean square for the addressed discrete-time neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters and mixed time-delays. Then, the state estimation problem is coped with for the same neural network where the goal is to design a desired state estimator such that the estimation error approaches zero exponentially in mean square. The derived conditions for both the stability and the existence of desired estimators are expressed in the form of matrix inequalities that can be solved by the semi-definite programme method. A numerical simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the usefulness of the main results obtained.This work was supported in part by the Royal Society of the U.K., the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 60774073 and 61074129, and the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grant BK2010313
Nonlinear brain dynamics as macroscopic manifestation of underlying many-body field dynamics
Neural activity patterns related to behavior occur at many scales in time and
space from the atomic and molecular to the whole brain. Here we explore the
feasibility of interpreting neurophysiological data in the context of many-body
physics by using tools that physicists have devised to analyze comparable
hierarchies in other fields of science. We focus on a mesoscopic level that
offers a multi-step pathway between the microscopic functions of neurons and
the macroscopic functions of brain systems revealed by hemodynamic imaging. We
use electroencephalographic (EEG) records collected from high-density electrode
arrays fixed on the epidural surfaces of primary sensory and limbic areas in
rabbits and cats trained to discriminate conditioned stimuli (CS) in the
various modalities. High temporal resolution of EEG signals with the Hilbert
transform gives evidence for diverse intermittent spatial patterns of amplitude
(AM) and phase modulations (PM) of carrier waves that repeatedly re-synchronize
in the beta and gamma ranges at near zero time lags over long distances. The
dominant mechanism for neural interactions by axodendritic synaptic
transmission should impose distance-dependent delays on the EEG oscillations
owing to finite propagation velocities. It does not. EEGs instead show evidence
for anomalous dispersion: the existence in neural populations of a low velocity
range of information and energy transfers, and a high velocity range of the
spread of phase transitions. This distinction labels the phenomenon but does
not explain it. In this report we explore the analysis of these phenomena using
concepts of energy dissipation, the maintenance by cortex of multiple ground
states corresponding to AM patterns, and the exclusive selection by spontaneous
breakdown of symmetry (SBS) of single states in sequences.Comment: 31 page
Analysis, filtering, and control for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy models in networked systems
Copyright © 2015 Sunjie Zhang et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.The fuzzy logic theory has been proven to be effective in dealing with various nonlinear systems and has a great success in industry applications. Among different kinds of models for fuzzy systems, the so-called Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model has been quite popular due to its convenient and simple dynamic structure as well as its capability of approximating any smooth nonlinear function to any specified accuracy within any compact set. In terms of such a model, the performance analysis and the design of controllers and filters play important roles in the research of fuzzy systems. In this paper, we aim to survey some recent advances on the T-S fuzzy control and filtering problems with various network-induced phenomena. The network-induced phenomena under consideration mainly include communication delays, packet dropouts, signal quantization, and randomly occurring uncertainties (ROUs). With such network-induced phenomena, the developments on T-S fuzzy control and filtering issues are reviewed in detail. In addition, some latest results on this topic are highlighted. In the end, conclusions are drawn and some possible future research directions are pointed out.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61134009, 61329301, 11301118 and 61174136, the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province of China under Grant BK20130017, the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities of China under Grant CUSF-DH-D-2013061, the Royal Society of the U.K., and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
