Robust H∞ filtering for networked systems with multiple state delays
This is the post print version of the article. The official published version can be obtained from the link below - Copyright 2007 Taylor & Francis Ltd.In this paper, a new robust H∞ filter design problem is studied for a class of networked systems with multiple state-delays. Two kinds of incomplete measurements, namely, measurements with random delays and measurements with stochastic missing phenomenon, are simultaneously considered. Such incomplete measurements are induced by the limited bandwidth of communication networks, and are modelled as a linear function of a certain set of indicator functions that depend on the same stochastic variable. Attention is focused on the analysis and design problems of a full-order robust H∞ filter such that, for all admissible parameter uncertainties and all possible incomplete measurements, the filtering error dynamics is exponentially mean-square stable and a prescribed H∞ attenuation level is guaranteed. Some recently reported methodologies, such as delay-dependent and parameter-dependent stability analysis approaches, are employed to obtain less conservative results. Sufficient conditions, which are dependent on the occurrence probability of both the random sensor delay and missing measurement, are established for the existence of the desired filters in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). When these LMIs are feasible, the explicit expression of the desired filter can also be characterized. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design method.This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 60574084, the National 863 Project of China under Grant 2006AA04Z428, and the National 973 Program of China under Grant 2002CB312200

The probabilistic sensor reductions are modeled by using a random variable that obeys a specific distribution in a known interval [alpha,beta], which accounts for the following two phenomenon: 1) signal stochastic attenuation in unreliable analog channel and 2) random sensor gain reduction in severe environment. The main task is to design a robust H∞ filter such that, for all possible uncertain measurements, system parameter uncertainties, nonlinearity as well as time-varying delays, the filtering error dynamics is asymptotically mean-square stable with a prescribed H∞ performance level. A sufficient condition for the existence of such a filter is presented in terms of the feasibility of a certain linear matrix inequality (LMI). A numerical example is introduced to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed methodology

Bioinspired Multifunctional Anti-icing Hydrogel
The recent anti-icing strategies in the state of the art mainly focused on three aspects: inhibiting ice nucleation, preventing ice propagation, and decreasing ice adhesion strength. However, it is has proved difficult to prevent ice nucleation and propagation while decreasing adhesion simultaneously, due to their highly distinct, even contradictory design principles. In nature, anti-freeze proteins (AFPs) offer a prime example of multifunctional integrated anti-icing materials that excel in all three key aspects of the anti-icing process simultaneously by tuning the structures and dynamics of interfacial water. Here, inspired by biological AFPs, we successfully created a multifunctional anti-icing material based on polydimethylsiloxane-grafted polyelectrolyte hydrogel that can tackle all three aspects of the anti-icing process simultaneously. The simplicity, mechanical durability, and versatility of these smooth hydrogel surfaces make it a promising option for a wide range of anti-icing applications
Monte-Carlo approach to calculate the proton stopping in warm dense matter within particle-in-cell simulations
A Monte-Carlo approach to proton stopping in warm dense matter is implemented
into an existing particle-in-cell code. The model is based on multiple
binary-collisions among electron-electron, electron-ion and ion-ion, taking
into account contributions from both free and bound electrons, and allows to
calculate particle stopping in much more natural manner. At low temperature
limit, when ``all'' electron are bounded at the nucleus, the stopping power
converges to the predictions of Bethe-Bloch theory, which shows good
consistency with data provided by the NIST. With the rising of temperatures,
more and more bound electron are ionized, thus giving rise to an increased
stopping power to cold matter, which is consistent with the report of a
recently experimental measurement [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 215002 (2015)]. When
temperature is further increased, with ionizations reaching the maximum,
lowered stopping power is observed, which is due to the suppression of
collision frequency between projected proton beam and hot plasmas in the
target.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Monte-Carlo approach to calculate the ionization of warm dense matter within particle-in-cell simulations
A physical model based on a Monte-Carlo approach is proposed to calculate the
ionization dynam- ics of warm dense matters (WDM) within particle-in-cell
simulations, and where the impact (col- lision) ionization (CI), electron-ion
recombination (RE) and ionization potential depression (IPD) by surrounding
plasmas are taken into consideration self-consistently. When compared with
other models, which are applied in the literature for plasmas near thermal
equilibrium, the temporal re- laxation of ionization dynamics can also be
simulated by the proposed model. Besides, this model is general and can be
applied for both single elements and alloys with quite different composi-
tions. The proposed model is implemented into a particle-in-cell (PIC) code,
with (final) ionization equilibriums sustained by competitions between CI and
its inverse process (i.e., RE). Comparisons between the full model and model
without IPD or RE are performed. Our results indicate that for bulk aluminium
in the WDM regime, i) the averaged ionization degree increases by including
IPD; while ii) the averaged ionization degree is significantly over estimated
when the RE is neglected. A direct comparison from the PIC code is made with
the existing models for the dependence of averaged ionization degree on thermal
equilibrium temperatures, and shows good agreements with that generated from
Saha-Boltzmann model or/and FLYCHK code.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure
Invisible Higgs boson, continuous mass fields and unHiggs mechanism
We explore the consequences of an electroweak symmetry breaking sector which
exhibits approximately scale invariant dynamics -- i.e., nontrivial fixed point
behavior, as in unparticle models. One can think of an unHiggs as a composite
Higgs boson with a continuous mass distribution. We find it convenient to
represent the unHiggs in terms of a Kallen-Lehmann spectral function, from
which it is simple to verify the generation of gauge boson and fermion masses,
and unitarization of WW scattering. We show that a spectral function with broad
support, which corresponds to approximate fixed point behavior over an extended
range of energy, can lead to an effectively invisible Higgs particle, whose
decays at LEP or LHC could be obscured by background.Comment: 8 page
CP Violation in Fermion Pair Decays of Neutral Boson Particles
We study CP violation in fermion pair decays of neutral boson particles with
spin 0 or 1. We study a new asymmetry to measure CP violation in decays and discuss the possibility of measuring it
experimentally. For the spin-1 particles case, we study CP violation in the
decays of to octet baryon pairs. We show that these decays can
be used to put stringent constraints on the electric dipole moments of
, and .Comment: 14p, OZ-93/22, UM-93/89, OITS 51
Robust Preparation of GHZ and W States of Three Distant Atoms
Schemes to generate Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ) and W states of three
distant atoms are proposed in this paper. The schemes use the effects of
quantum statistics of indistinguishable photons emitted by the atoms inside
optical cavities. The advantages of the schemes are their robustness against
detection inefficiency and asynchronous emission of the photons. Moreover, in
Lamb-Dicke limit, the schemes do not require simultaneous click of the
detectors, this makes the schemes more realizable in experiments.Comment: 5 pages, 1 fiure. Phys. Rev. A 75, 044301 (2007
A Lattice Boltzmann method for simulations of liquid-vapor thermal flows
We present a novel lattice Boltzmann method that has a capability of
simulating thermodynamic multiphase flows. This approach is fully
thermodynamically consistent at the macroscopic level. Using this new method, a
liquid-vapor boiling process, including liquid-vapor formation and coalescence
together with a full coupling of temperature, is simulated for the first time.Comment: one gzipped tar file, 19 pages, 4 figure
in the Standard Model
In this paper we investigate the possibility of studying form
factor using the semi-inclusive decays . In general
semi-inclusive decays involve several hadronic parameters. But for
decays we find that in the factorization
approximation, the only unknown hadronic parameters are the form factors
. Therefore these form factors can be studied in decays. Using theoretical model calculations for the form
factors the branching ratios for and
, with the cut GeV, are
estimated to be in the ranges of and ,
respectively, depending on the value of . The combined branching ratio
for is about and is insensitive to . We also discuss CP
asymmetries in these decay modes.Comment: RevTex 8 pages and two figure
