A Cohomological Characterization of Leibniz Central Extensions of Lie Algebras

Mainly motivated by Pirashvili's spectral sequences on a Leibniz algebra, a cohomological characterization of Leibniz central extensions of Lie algebras is given based on Corollary 3.3 and Theorem 3.5. In particular, as applications, we obtain the cohomological version of Gao's main Theorem in \cite{Gao2} for Kac-Moody algebras and answer a question in \cite{LH}.Comment: 12 pages. Proc.

Lie bialgebra structures on the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra

In this paper we investigate Lie bialgebra structures on the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra. With the classifications of Lie bialgebra structures on the Virasoro algebra, we determined such structures on the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra. Moreover, some general and useful results are obtained. With our methods and results we also can easily to determine such structures on some Lie algebras related to the twisted Heisenberg-Virasoro algebra.Comment: Latex 18page. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:0901.133

Force feedback linearization for higher-order electromechanical sigma-delta modulators.

Abstract A higher-order electromechanical sigma–delta modulator can greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio compared with a second-order loop that only uses the sensing element as a loop filter. However, the electrostatic force feedback on the proof mass is inherently nonlinear, which will produce harmonics in the output spectrum and limits the total signal-to-noise and distortion ratio. High performance inertial sensors, which use sigma–delta modulators as a closed-loop control system, have strict requirements on the output signal distortion. In this paper, nonlinear effects from the force feedback and pick-off circuits are analysed and a strategy for force feedback linearization is put forward which can considerably improve the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio. A PCB prototype of a fifth-order electromechanical modulator with a bulk micromachined accelerometer was used to demonstrate the concept

Micromachined vibratory gyroscopes controlled by a high order band-pass sigma delta modulator.

Abstract—This work reports on the design of novel closed-loop control systems for the sense mode of a vibratory-rate gyroscope based on a high-order sigma-delta modulator (SDM). A low-pass and two distinctive bandpass topologies are derived, and their advantages discussed. So far, most closed-loop force-feedback control systems for these sensors were based on low-pass SDM’s. Usually, the sensing element of a vibratory gyroscope is designed with a high quality factor to increase the sensitivity and, hence, can be treated as a mechanical resonator. Furthermore, the output characteristic of vibratory rate gyroscopes is narrowband amplitude- modulated signal. Therefore, a bandpass M is a more appropriate control strategy for a vibratory gyroscope than a low-pass SDM. Using a high-order bandpass SDM, the control system can adopt a much lower sampling frequency compared with a low-pass SDM while achieving a similar noise floor for a given oversampling ratio (OSR). In addition, a control system based on a high-order bandpass SDM is superior as it not only greatly shapes the quantization noise, but also alleviates tonal behavior, as is often seen in low-order SDM control systems, and has good immunities to fabrication tolerances and parameter mismatch. These properties are investigated in this study at system level
