A linear filter is used to estimate a linear combination of the system states. The problem addressed is the design of a filter such that, for all admissible parameter uncertainties, the following three objectives are simultaneously achieved: 1) the filtering process is P-stable, i.e., the poles of the filtering matrix are located inside a parabolic region; 2) the steady-state variance of the estimation error of each state is not more than the individual prespecified value; and 3) the transfer function from exogenous noise inputs to error state outputs meets the prespecified H∞ norm upper-bound constraint. An effective algebraic matrix inequality approach is developed to derive both the existence conditions and the explicit expression of the desired filters. An illustrative example is used to demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed design approach
On the finite termination of an entropy function based smoothing Newton method for vertical linear complementarity problems
By using a smooth entropy function to approximate the non-smooth max-type function, a vertical linear complementarity problem (VLCP) can be treated as a family of parameterized smooth equations. A Newton-type method with a testing procedure is proposed to solve such a system. We show that the proposed algorithm finds an exact solution of VLCP in a finite number of iterations, under some conditions milder than those assumed in literature. Some computational results are included to illustrate the potential of this approach.Newton method;Finite termination;Entropy function;Smoothing approximation;Vertical linear complementarity problems
LDA+Gutzwiller Method for Correlated Electron Systems
Combining the density functional theory (DFT) and the Gutzwiller variational
approach, a LDA+Gutzwiller method is developed to treat the correlated electron
systems from {\it ab-initio}. All variational parameters are self-consistently
determined from total energy minimization. The method is computationally
cheaper, yet the quasi-particle spectrum is well described through kinetic
energy renormalization. It can be applied equally to the systems from weakly
correlated metals to strongly correlated insulators. The calculated results for
SrVO, Fe, Ni and NiO, show dramatic improvement over LDA and LDA+U.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl
Strong ferromangnetism and weak antiferroamgnetism in double perovskites: SrFe{/it M}O ({/it M}=Mo, W and Re)
Double perovskites SrFeMO (M=Mo and Re) exhibit significant colossal
magnetoresistance even at room temperature due to the high Curie Temperature
(419K and 401K). However, such a high Curie Temperature is puzzling, given the
large separation between magnetic elements (Fe). Moreover, with M=W, the
electronic and magnetic properties suddenly change to insulating and
antiferromagnetic with the N{\'e}el temperature of only 1637 K. Based on
detailed electronic structure calculations, a new mechanism is proposed which
stabilizes the strong ferromagnetic state for M=Mo and Re and is passivated for
M=W.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures; accepted by PRB as rapid communicatio
Heavy Quark Potentials in Some Renormalization Group Revised AdS/QCD Models
We construct some AdS/QCD models by the systematic procedure of GKN. These
models reflect three rather different asymptotics the gauge theory beta
functions approach at the infrared region,
and , where is the 't Hooft coupling constant.
We then calculate the heavy quark potentials in these models by holographic
methods and find that they can more consistently fit the lattice data relative
to the usual models which do not include the renormalization group improving
effects. But only use the lattice QCD heavy quark potentials as constrains, we
cannot distinguish which kind of infrared asymptotics is the better one.Comment: comparisons with lattice results, qualitative consideration of
quantum corrections are added. (accepted by Phys. Rev. D
A relativistic calculation of super-Hubble suppression of inflation with thermal dissipation
We investigated the evolution of the primordial density perturbations
produced by inflation with thermal dissipation. A full relativistic analysis on
the evolution of initial perturbations from the warm inflation era to a
radiation-dominated universe has been developed. The emphasis is on tracking
the ratio between the adiabatic and the isocurvature mode of the initial
perturbations. This result is employed to calculate a testable factor: the
super-Hubble suppression of the power spectrum of the primordial perturbations.
We show that based on the warm inflation scenario, the super-Hubble suppression
factor, , for an inflation with thermal dissipation is at least 0.5. This
prediction does not depend on the details of the model parameters. If is
larger than 0.5, it implies that the friction parameter is larger than
the Hubble expansion parameter during the inflation era.Comment: 22 pages, 3 figures, use RevTex, accepted by Class. Quant. Gra
