An algebraic method for designing controllers for multi-input multi-output linear systems via s-domain input-output decoupling

2009-03-01
The method introduced here is applicable for multi-input multi-output, linear, and time-invariant systems. The state and output equations of the system, which are originally expressed in the t-domain, are first transformed into the s-domain. Then, input-output decoupling is achieved by generating the actual control variables as combinations of virtual control variables in such a way that each output is controlled by only the dedicated one of the virtual control variables. As the next stage, appropriate linear controllers are designed to generate the virtual control variables with feedback, feedforward, and disturbance rejection features. The design method is algebraic and involves the assignment of not only the closed-loop poles but also the type numbers associated with the reference and disturbance inputs. The multivariable transformation filter that converts the virtual control variables into actual ones is formed properly to prevent any possibility of internal instability.

An Efficient Formula Synthesis Method with Past Signal Temporal Logic
Ergurtuna, Mert; Aydın Göl, Ebru (2019-01-01)
In this work, we propose a novel method to find temporal properties that lead to the unexpected behaviors from labeled dataset. We express these properties in past time Signal Temporal Logic (ptSTL). First, we present a novel approach for finding parameters of a template ptSTL formula, which extends the results on monotonicity based parameter synthesis. The proposed method optimizes a given monotone criteria while bounding an error. Then, we employ the parameter synthesis method in an iterative unguided for...
A Novel Alternating Cell Directions Implicit Method for the Solution of Incompressible Navier Stokes Equations on Unstructured Grids
Bas, O.; ÇETE, ALİ RUHŞEN; Mengi, S.; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Kaynak, U. (2017-01-01)
In this paper, A Novel Alternating Cell Direction Implicit Method (ACDI) is researched which allows implementation of fast line implicit methods on quadrilateral unstructured meshes. In ACDI method, designated alternating cell directions are taken along a series of contiguous cells within the unstructured grid domain and used as implicit lines similar to Line Gauss Seidel Method (LGS). ACDI method applied earlier for the solution of potential flows is extended for the solution of the incompressible Navier-S...
A two-level variational multiscale method for convection-dominated convection-diffusion equations
Volker, John; Kaya Merdan, Songül; Layton, William (2006-01-01)
This paper studies the error in, the efficient implementation of and time stepping methods for a variational multiscale method (VMS) for solving convection-dominated problems. The VMS studied uses a fine mesh C-O finite element space X-h to approximate the concentration and a coarse mesh discontinuous vector finite element space L-H for the large scales of the flux in the two scale discretization. Our tests show that these choices lead to an efficient VMS whose complexity is further reduced if a (locally) L...
A new time-domain boundary element formulation for generalized models of viscoelasticity
Akay, Ahmet Arda; Gürses, Ercan; Göktepe, Serdar (2023-05-01)
The contribution is concerned with the novel algorithmic formulation for generalized models of viscoelasticity under quasi-static conditions within the framework of the boundary element method (BEM). The proposed update algorithm is constructed for a generic rheological model of linear viscoelasticity that can either be straightforwardly simplified to recover the basic Kelvin and Maxwell models or readily furthered towards the generalized models of viscoelasticity through the serial or parallel extensions. ...
