Robust L2–L∞ control of uncertain differential linear repetitive processes
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link - Copyright 2008 Elsevier LtdFor two-dimensional (2-D) systems, information propagates in two independent directions. 2-D systems are known to have both system-theoretical and applications interest, and the so-called linear repetitive processes (LRPs) are a distinct class of 2-D discrete linear systems. This paper is concerned with the problem of L2–L∞ (energy to peak) control for uncertain differential LRPs, where the parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. For an unstable LRP, our attention is focused on the design of an L2–L∞ static state feedback controller and an L2–L∞ dynamic output feedback controller, both of which guarantee the corresponding closed-loop LRPs to be stable along the pass and have a prescribed L2–L∞ performance. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such L2–L∞ controllers are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The desired L2–L∞ dynamic output feedback controller can be found by solving a convex optimization problem. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller design procedures.This work was supported in part by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Nuffield Foundation of the UK under Grant NAL/00630/G, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Experimentally realizable control fields in quantum Lyapunov control
As a hybrid of techniques from open-loop and feedback control, Lyapunov
control has the advantage that it is free from the measurement-induced
decoherence but it includes the system's instantaneous message in the control
loop. Often, the Lyapunov control is confronted with time delay in the control
fields and difficulty in practical implementations of the control. In this
paper, we study the effect of time-delay on the Lyapunov control, and explore
the possibility of replacing the control field with a pulse train or a
bang-bang signal. The efficiency of the Lyapunov control is also presented
through examining the convergence time of the controlled system. These results
suggest that the Lyapunov control is robust gainst time delay, easy to realize
and effective for high-dimensional quantum systems
Symmetry-preserving Loop Regularization and Renormalization of QFTs
A new symmetry-preserving loop regularization method proposed in \cite{ylw}
is further investigated. It is found that its prescription can be understood by
introducing a regulating distribution function to the proper-time formalism of
irreducible loop integrals. The method simulates in many interesting features
to the momentum cutoff, Pauli-Villars and dimensional regularization. The loop
regularization method is also simple and general for the practical calculations
to higher loop graphs and can be applied to both underlying and effective
quantum field theories including gauge, chiral, supersymmetric and
gravitational ones as the new method does not modify either the lagrangian
formalism or the space-time dimension of original theory. The appearance of
characteristic energy scale and sliding energy scale offers a
systematic way for studying the renormalization-group evolution of gauge
theories in the spirit of Wilson-Kadanoff and for exploring important effects
of higher dimensional interaction terms in the infrared regime.Comment: 13 pages, Revtex, extended modified version, more references adde
