    Realization of biquadratic impedances with at most four elements

    Get PDF
    This paper considers the realizability problem of biquadratic impedances with at most four elements. To solve the problem, the necessary and sufficient realizability condition for no more than three elements is obtained by some topological properties derived previously. Furthermore, the constraints on the possible realizations are used to find out the networks which can cover all the cases, and they are classified as several quartets. Finally, investigating one of the networks in each quartet yields the necessary and sufficient condition for a network to be realized with at most four elements.published_or_final_versio

    Adaptive flocking of multi-agent systems with locally Lipschitz nonlinearity

    Get PDF
    This paper investigates adaptive flocking of multi-agent systems (MASs) with a virtual leader. All agents and the virtual leader share the same intrinsic nonlinear dynamics, which satisfies a locally Lipschitz condition and depends on both position and velocity information of the agent itself. Under the assumption that the initial network is connected, an approach to preserving the connectivity of the network is proposed. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive flocking control law is derived to make the MASs track the virtual leader without collision. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. © 2012 Chinese Assoc of Automati.published_or_final_versio

    Adaptive group consensus of coupled harmonic oscillators with multiple leaders

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we investigate the group consensus of coupled harmonic oscillators with multiple leaders in an undirected fixed network. Unlike many existing algorithms for group consensus of multi-agent systems or cluster synchronization of complex dynamical networks, which require global information of the underlying network such as the eigenvalues of the coupling matrix or centralized control protocols, we propose a novel decentralized adaptive group consensus algorithm for coupled harmonic oscillators. By using the decentralized adaptive group consensus algorithm and without using any global information of the underlying network, all agents in the same group asymptotically synchronize with the corresponding leader even when only one agent in each group has access to the information of the corresponding leader. Numerical simulation results are presented to illustrate the theoretical results. © 2012 IEEE.published_or_final_versio

    Crystal growth and quantum oscillations in the topological chiral semimetal CoSi

    Get PDF
    We survey the electrical transport properties of the single-crystalline, topological chiral semimetal CoSi which was grown via different methods. High-quality CoSi single crystals were found in the growth from tellurium solution. The sample's high carrier mobility enables us to observe, for the first time, quantum oscillations (QOs) in its thermoelectrical signals. Our analysis of QOs reveals two spherical Fermi surfaces around the R point in the Brillouin zone corner. The extracted Berry phases of these electron orbits are consistent with the -2 chiral charge as reported in DFT calculations. Detailed analysis on the QOs reveals that the spin-orbit coupling induced band-splitting is less than 2 meV near the Fermi level, one order of magnitude smaller than our DFT calculation result. We also report the phonon-drag induced large Nernst effect in CoSi at intermediate temperatures

    Realizability of n-port resistive networks with 2n terminals

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we consider the realizability problem of n-port resistive networks containing 2n terminals. A necessary and sufficient condition for any real symmetric matrix to be realizable as the admittance of an n-port resistive network containing 2n terminals is obtained. The condition is based on the existence of a parameter matrix. We then focus on a three-port resistive network containing six terminals. A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for any real symmetric matrix to be realizable as the admittance of a three-port resistive network containing six terminals and at most five positive elements, whose topological structure is properly restricted. © 2013 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
