This paper presents a study on the performance of a positive position feedback (PPF) controller to suppress the vibration of a horizontal beam under vertical excitation. Time delays in the control loop are taken into consideration to study their effects on the controller performance and the stable region. The integral iterative method is conducted to obtain a second-order approximate solution and the corresponding amplitude equations for the considered system. The stability of the steady-state solutions is ascertained using a combination of Floquet theory and Hill’s determinant. The maximum limits of time delays at which the system remains stable have been determined for different values of control parameters. And the effects of various control parameters on the existence of multiple-solution region are investigated. The analysis illustrates that the appearance of time delay and the elimination of controller damping coefficient are the two main factors to enhance the nonlinear characteristics of the controlled system. The points at which the steady-state amplitude of the main system reaches its minimum are studied analytically. The analyses show that the analytical results are in excellent agreement with the numerical simulations.

This study addresses the consensus problem and its stability for a group of agents with second order dynamics and feedback time delays. It is assumed that all the agents in the group communicate with the same number of agents, and that the time delay incurred remains constant and the same for all the interagent communication channels. A decentralized control structure of PD type is proposed to create consensus in the position and velocity of the agents. Contribution of the paper is in the peculiar construction of the system characteristic equation owing to the proposed control law, which is exploited to effectively execute the stability analysis in the delay space. A complete stability picture is obtained taking into account the variations in both the control parameters and the communication delay. Case studies and simulations results are presented to verify the analytical derivations.

In this paper, we study the stability of positive steady states in a delayed competition system on a weighted network, which does not satisfy the comparison principle appealing to classical competitive systems. By introducing some auxiliary equations and constructing proper contracting rectangles, we present some sufficient conditions on the stability of the unique positive steady state. Moreover, some numerical examples are given to explore the complex dynamics of this nonmonotone model, which implies the nontrivial roles of weights and time delays.

AbstractThe metabolic boundary separating the heavy-intensity and severe-intensity exercise domains is of scientific and practical interest but there is controversy concerning whether the maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) or critical power (synonymous with critical speed, CS) better represents this boundary. We measured the running speeds at MLSS and CS and investigated their ability to discriminate speeds at which $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2}$$ V ˙ O 2 was stable over time from speeds at which a steady-state $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2}$$ V ˙ O 2 could not be established. Ten well-trained male distance runners completed 9–12 constant-speed treadmill tests, including 3–5 runs of up to 30-min duration for the assessment of MLSS and at least 4 runs performed to the limit of tolerance for assessment of CS. The running speeds at CS and MLSS were significantly different (16.4 ± 1.3 vs. 15.2 ± 0.9 km/h, respectively; P < 0.001). Blood lactate concentration was higher and increased with time at a speed 0.5 km/h higher than MLSS compared to MLSS (P < 0.01); however, pulmonary $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2}$$ V ˙ O 2 did not change significantly between 10 and 30 min at either MLSS or MLSS + 0.5 km/h. In contrast, $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2}$$ V ˙ O 2 increased significantly over time and reached $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2\,\,\max }$$ V ˙ O 2 max at end-exercise at a speed ~ 0.4 km/h above CS (P < 0.05) but remained stable at a speed ~ 0.5 km/h below CS. The stability of $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2}$$ V ˙ O 2 at a speed exceeding MLSS suggests that MLSS underestimates the maximal metabolic steady state. These results indicate that CS more closely represents the maximal metabolic steady state when the latter is appropriately defined according to the ability to stabilise pulmonary $$\dot{V}{\text{O}}_{2}$$ V ˙ O 2 .

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to investigate the optimal harvesting strategies of a stochastic competitive Lotka–Volterra model with S-type distributed time delays and Lévy jumps by using ergodic method. Firstly, the sufficient conditions for extinction and stable in the time average of each species are established under some suitable assumptions. Secondly, under a technical assumption, the stability in distribution of this model is proved. Then the sufficient and necessary criteria for the existence of optimal harvesting policy are established under the condition that all species are persistent. Moreover, the explicit expression of the optimal harvesting effort and the maximum of sustainable yield are given.

This paper presents a study of the nonlinear dynamic behavior a flying capacitor four-level three-cell DC-DC buck converter. Its stability analysis is performed and its stability boundaries is determined in the multi-dimensional paramertic space. First, the switched model of the converter is presented. Then, a discrete-time controller for the converter is proposed. The controller is is responsible for both balancing the flying capacitor voltages from one hand and for output current regulation. Simulation results from the switched model of the converter under the proposed controller are presented. The results show that the system may undergo bifurcation phenomena and period doubling route to chaos when some system parameters are varied. One-dimensional bifurcation diagrams are computed and used to explore the possible dynamical behavior of the system. By using Floquet theory and Filippov method to derive the monodromy matrix, the bifurcation behavior observed in the converter is accurately predicted. Based on justified and realistic approximations of the system state variables waveforms, simple and accurate expressions for these steady-state values and the monodromy matrix are derived and validated. The simple expression of the steady-state operation and the monodromy matrix allow to analytically predict the onset of instability in the system and the stability region in the parametric space is determined. Numerical simulations from the exact switched model validate the theoretical predictions.

We determine the essential spectrum of certain types of linear operators which arise in the study of the stability of steady state or traveling wave solutions in coupled map lattices. The basic tool is the Gelfand transformation which enables us to determine the essential spectrum completely.

AbstractConsideration is given to the flow of a micropolar liquid down an inclined plane. The steady state is analysed and Yih's technique is employed in an investigation of the stability of this flow with respect to long waves. Detailed calculations are given for thin films and it is shown that the micropolar properties of the liquid play an important role in the stability criterion.
