    Get PDF
    A simple numerical method for constructing the optimal generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas will be presented. These formulas exist in many cases in which real positive GaussKronrod formulas do not exist, and can be used as an adequate alternative in order to estimate the error of a Gaussian rule. We also investigate the conditions under which the optimal averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas and their truncated variants are internal

    The chaotic systems play a critical role in a wide range of communication systems, form both economical and technical. Recently, a new fractional-order chaotic system was proposed and dynamical analysis was investigated. Here, we focus on synchronization of the drive and response systems, which can have significant impact on the economic side of the problem. Furthermore, stability of mentioned system is discussed based on Lyapunov theorem. It is shown that Lyapunov theorem can be extended to the systems which have terms with orders higher than 2. Numerical simulations prove our claims from the objective evaluation

    L'évolution de la prospère famille des standards 802.11 a encouragé le développement des technologies appliquées aux réseaux locaux sans fil (WLANs). Pour faire face à la toujours croissante nécessité de rendre possible les communications à très haut débit, les systèmes à antennes multiples (MIMO) sont une solution viable. Ils ont l'avantage d'accroître le débit de transmission sans avoir recours à plus de puissance ou de largeur de bande. Cependant, l'industrie hésite encore à augmenter le nombre d'antennes des portables et des accésoires sans fil. De plus, à l'intérieur des bâtiments, la déficience de rang de la matrice de canal peut se produire dû à la nature de la dispersion des parcours de propagation, ce phénomène est aussi occasionné à l'extérieur par de longues distances de transmission. Ce projet est motivé par les raisons décrites antérieurement, il se veut un étude sur la viabilité des transcepteurs sans fil à large bande capables de régulariser la déficience de rang du canal sans fil. On vise le développement des techniques capables de séparer M signaux co-canal, même avec une seule antenne et à faire une estimation précise du canal. Les solutions décrites dans ce document cherchent à surmonter les difficultés posées par le medium aux transcepteurs sans fil à large bande. Le résultat de cette étude est un algorithme transcepteur approprié aux systèmes MIMO à rang déficient

    Synchronization of Fractional-order Chaotic Systems with Gaussian fluctuation by Sliding Mode Control

    Get PDF
    This paper is devoted to the problem of synchronization between fractional-order chaotic systems with Gaussian fluctuation by the method of fractional-order sliding mode control. A fractional integral (FI) sliding surface is proposed for synchronizing the uncertain fractional-order system, and then the sliding mode control technique is carried out to realize the synchronization of the given systems. One theorem about sliding mode controller is presented to prove the proposed controller can make the system synchronize. As a case study, the presented method is applied to the fractional-order Chen-L\"u system as the drive-response dynamical system. Simulation results show a good performance of the proposed control approach in synchronizing the chaotic systems in presence of Gaussian noise

    A Framework for Life Cycle Cost Estimation of a Product Family at the Early Stage of Product Development

    Get PDF
    A cost estimation method is required to estimate the life cycle cost of a product family at the early stage of product development in order to evaluate the product family design. There are difficulties with existing cost estimation techniques in estimating the life cycle cost for a product family at the early stage of product development. This paper proposes a framework that combines a knowledge based system and an activity based costing techniques in estimating the life cycle cost of a product family at the early stage of product development. The inputs of the framework are the product family structure and its sub function. The output of the framework is the life cycle cost of a product family that consists of all costs at each product family level and the costs of each product life cycle stage. The proposed framework provides a life cycle cost estimation tool for a product family at the early stage of product development using high level information as its input. The framework makes it possible to estimate the life cycle cost of various product family that use any types of product structure. It provides detailed information related to the activity and resource costs of both parts and products that can assist the designer in analyzing the cost of the product family design. In addition, it can reduce the required amount of information and time to construct the cost estimation system

    Analysis and synthesis techniques of nonlinear dynamical systems with applications to diagnostic of controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors

    Nonlinear dynamical systems are of wide interest to engineers, physicists and mathematicians, and this is due to the fact that most of physical systems in nature are inherently non-linear. The nonlinearity of these systems has consequences on their time-evolution, which in some cases can be completely unpredictable, apparently random, although fundamentally deterministic. Chaotic systems are striking examples of this. In most cases, there are no hard and fast rules to analyse these systems. Often, their solutions cannot be obtained in closed form, and it is necessary to resort to numerical integration techniques, which, in case of high sensitivity to initial conditions, lead to ill-conditioning problems and high computational costs. The dynamical system theory, the branch of mathematics used to describe the behaviour of these systems, focuses not on finding exact solutions to the equations describing the dynamical system, but rather on knowing if the system stabilises to a steady state in the long term, and what are the possible attractors, e.g. a quasi-periodic or chaotic attractors. Regarding the synthesis, from both a practical and a theoretical standpoint, it is very desirable to develop methods of synthesizing these systems. Although extensive theory has been developed for linear systems, no complete formulation for nonlinear systems synthesis is present today. The main topic of this thesis is the solution of engineering problems related to the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear and chaotic systems. In particular, a new algorithm which optimizes Lyapunov exponents estimation in piecewise linear systems has been applied to PWL and polynomial chaotic systems. In the field of complex systems synthesis, a systematic method to project systems of order 2n characterized by two positive Lyapunov exponents, has been proposed. This procedure couples nth-order chaotic systems with a suitable nonlinear coupling function. Furthermore, a method for the fault detection has been developed. In the field of time series analysis, a new denoising method, based on the wavelet transform of the noisy signal, has been described. The method implements a variable thresholding, whose optimal value is determined by analysing the cross-correlation between the denoised signal and the residuals and by applying different criteria depending on the particular decomposition level. Finally, a study of dynamical behaviour of Type I ELMs has been performed for a future modelization of the phenomenon. In this context, a statistical analysis of time intervals between successive Type I ELMs has been proposed.---------------------------------- Il tema principale di questa tesi è la soluzione di problemi ingegneristici legati all’analisi e alla sintesi di sistemi dinamici non lineari. I sistemi dinamici non lineari sono di largo interesse per ingegneri, fisici e matematici, e questo è dovuto al fatto che la maggior parte dei sistemi fisici in natura è intrinsecamente non lineare. La non linearità di questi sistemi ha conseguenze sulla loro evoluzione temporale, che in certi casi può rivelarsi del tutto imprevedibile, apparentemente casuale, seppure fondamentalmente deterministica. I sistemi caotici sono un esempio lampante di questo comportamento. Nella maggior parte dei casi non esistono delle regole standard per l’analisi di questi sistemi. Spesso, le soluzioni non possono essere ottenute in forma chiusa, ed è necessario ricorrere a tecniche di integrazione numerica, che, in caso di elevata sensibilità alle condizioni iniziali, portano a problemi di mal condizionamento e di elevato costo computazionale. La teoria dei sistemi dinamici, la branca della matematica usata per descrivere il comportamento di questi sistemi, non si concentra sulla ricerca di soluzioni esatte per le equazioni che descrivono il sistema dinamico, ma piuttosto sull’analisi del comportamento a lungo termine del sistema, per sapere se questo si stabilizzi in uno stato stabile e per sapere quali siano i possibili attrattori, ad esempio, attrattori quasi-periodici o caotici. Per quanto riguarda la sintesi, sia da un punto di vista pratico che teorico, è molto importante lo sviluppo di metodi in grado di sintetizzare questi sistemi. Sebbene per i sistemi lineari sia stata sviluppata una teoria ampia e esaustiva, al momento non esiste alcuna formulazione completa per la sintesi di sistemi non lineari. In questa tesi saranno affrontati problemi di caratterizzazione, analisi e sintesi, legati allo studio di sistemi non lineari e caotici. La caratterizzazione dinamica di un sistema non lineare permette di individuarne il comportamento qualitativo a lungo termine. Gli esponenti di Lyapunov sono degli strumenti che permettono di determinare il comportamento asintotico di un sistema dinamico. Essi danno informazioni circa il tasso di divergenza di traiettorie vicine, caratteristica chiave delle dinamiche caotiche. Le tecniche esistenti per il calcolo degli esponenti di Lyapunov sono computazionalmente costose, e questo fatto ha in qualche modo precluso l’uso estensivo di questi strumenti in problemi di grandi dimensioni. Inoltre, durante il calcolo degli esponenti sorgono dei problemi di tipo numerico, per ciò il calcolo deve essere affrontato con cautela. L’implementazione di algoritmi veloci e accurati per il calcolo degli esponenti di Lyapunov è un problema di interesse attuale. In molti casi pratici il vettore di stato del sistema non è disponibile, e una serie temporale rappresenta l’unica informazione a disposizione. L’analisi di serie storiche è un metodo di analisi dei dati provenienti da serie temporali che ha lo scopo di estrarre delle statistiche significative e altre caratteristiche dei dati, e di ottenere una comprensione della struttura e dei fattori fondamentali che hanno prodotto i dati osservati. Per esempio, un problema dei reattori a fusione termonucleare controllata è l’analisi di serie storiche della radiazione Dα, caratteristica del fenomeno chiamato Edge Localized Modes (ELMs). La comprensione e il 16 controllo degli ELMs sono problemi cruciali per il funzionamento di ITER, in cui il type-I ELMy H-mode è stato scelto come scenario di funzionamento standard. Determinare se la dinamica degli ELM sia caotica o casuale è cruciale per la corretta descrizione dell’ELM cycle. La caratterizzazione dinamica effettuata sulle serie temporali ricorrendo al cosiddetto spazio di embedding, può essere utilizzata per distinguere serie random da serie caotiche. Uno dei problemi più frequenti che si incontra nell’analisi di serie storiche sperimentali è la presenza di rumore, che in alcuni casi può raggiungere anche il 10% o il 20% del segnale. È quindi essenziale , prima di ogni analisi, sviluppare una tecnica appropriata e robusta per il denosing. Quando il modello del sistema è noto, l’analisi di serie storiche può essere applicata al rilevamento di guasti. Questo problema può essere formalizzato come un problema di identificazione dei parametri. In questi casi, la teorie dell’algebra differenziale fornisce utili informazioni circa la natura dei rapporti fra l’osservabile scalare, le variabili di stato e gli altri parametri del sistema. La sintesi di sistemi caotici è un problema fondamentale e interessante. Questi sistemi non implicano soltanto un metodo di realizzazione di modelli matematici esistenti ma anche di importanti sistemi fisici reali. La maggior parte dei metodi presentati in letteratura dimostra numericamente la presenza di dinamiche caotiche, per mezzo del calcolo degli esponenti di Lyapunov. In particolare, le dinamiche ipercaotiche sono identificate dalla presenza di due esponenti di Lyapunov positivi
