Decentralised delay-dependent static output feedback variable structure control
In this paper, an output feedback stabilisation problem is considered for a class of large scale interconnected time delay systems with uncertainties. The uncertainties appear in both isolated subsystems and interconnections. The bounds on the uncertainties are nonlinear and time delayed. It is not required that either the known interconnections or the uncertain interconnections are matched. Then, a decentralised delay-dependant static output feedback variable structure control is synthesised to stabilise the system globally uniformly asymptotically using the Lyapunov Razumikhin approach. A case study relating to a river pollution control problem is presented to illustrate the proposed approach
Magnonic band structure of domain wall magnonic crystals
Magnonic crystals are prototype magnetic metamaterials designed for the
control of spin wave propagation. Conventional magnonic crystals are composed
of single domain elements. If magnetization textures, such as domain walls,
vortices and skyrmions, are included in the building blocks of magnonic
crystals, additional degrees of freedom over the control of the magnonic band
structure can be achieved. We theoretically investigate the influence of domain
walls on the spin wave propagation and the corresponding magnonic band
structure. It is found that the rotation of magnetization inside a domain wall
introduces a geometric vector potential for the spin wave excitation. The
corresponding Berry phase has quantized value , where is the
winding number of the domain wall. Due to the topological vector potential, the
magnonic band structure of magnonic crystals with domain walls as comprising
elements differs significantly from an identical magnonic crystal composed of
only magnetic domains. This difference can be utilized to realize dynamic
reconfiguration of magnonic band structure by a sole nucleation or annihilation
of domain walls in magnonic crystals.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figure
