A complex frequency version of the time domain adjoint operator for a linear time-invariant system is obtained. A very simple relationship is shown to exist between this operator and the system transfer function matrix. A simple method of simulating the adjoint system is described.

This paper is to develop a general form for Total Measurable Fault Information-based Residual (ToMFIR) approach to fault detection in dynamic systems. The ToMFIR is initially established for systems with a constant control input signal and a fault approaching to a constant. Practical systems satisfying the aforementioned conditions is few. That is why a generalized form is developed in this work. The definition of the ToMFIR is first introduced and the special case is also presented for the continuity of the statement. Based on a stable and linear time-invariant system, the general form of the ToMFIR is derived, and a practical DC motor example, with a PID controller, is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the ToMFIR-based fault detection.

Abstract In this paper an exact discrete-time model of the induction motor in a current-fed mode, including stator flux components is derived and validated. The equations of the motor are written in a frame aligned with the rotor electrical position, which results in a linear, time-invariant system. Based on the derived exact discrete-time representation of the motor dynamics, an input-output linearizing control law is designed for decoupled torque and stator flux control. The applied design technique led to a non-trivial, still useful, definition of the electromagnetic output of the motor. Simulation results are presented showing that the aimed performance is obtained, that is, no coupling exists between the outputs, and the initial design problem of controlling a nonlinear interacting TITO system is reduced to a problem of controlling two linear and decoupled SISO systems with simple dynamics.

AbstractThis is a continuation (Part II) of our previous paper [19]. In this paper we present a simple method of the fractional-order value calculation of the fractional-order discrete integration element. We assume that the input and output signals are known. The linear time-invariant fractional-order difference equation is reduced to the polynomial in a variable ν with coefficients depending on the measured input and output signal values. One should solve linear algebraic equation or find roots of a polynomial. This simple mathematical problem complicates when the measured output signal contains a noise. Then, the polynomial roots are unsettled because they are very sensitive to coefficients variability. In the paper we show that the discrete integrator fractional-order is very stiff due to the degree of the polynomial. The minimal number of samples guaranteeing the correct order is evaluated. The investigations are supported by a numerical example.

Due to the importance of the concept of independent variable modification, the definition of linear-time-invariant system, and their implications for discrete-time signal processing, Chapter 11 presents basic deterministic continuous-time signals and systems. These signals, expressed in the form of functions and functionals such as the Dirac delta function, are used throughout the book for deterministic and stochastic signal analysis, in both the continuous-time and the discrete-time domains. The definition of the autocorrelation function, and an explanation of the convolution procedure in linear-time-invariant systems, are presented in detail, due to their importance in communication systems analysis and synthesis. A linear modification of the independent continuous variable is presented for specific cases, like time shift, time reversal, and time and amplitude scaling.

Predicting the effects of changes in dissolved input concentration on the variability of discharge concentration at the outlet of the catchment is essential to improve our ability to address the problem of surface water quality. The goal of this study is therefore dedicated to the stochastic quantification of temporal variability of concentration fields in outflow from a catchment system that exhibits linearity and time invariance. A convolution integral is used to determine the output of a linear time-invariant system from knowledge of the input and the transfer function. This work considers that the nonstationary input concentration time series of an inert solute to the catchment system can be characterized completely by the Langevin equation. The closed-form expressions for the variances of inflow and outflow concentrations at the catchment scale are derived using the Fourier–Stieltjes representation approach. The variance is viewed as an index of temporal variability. The closed-form expressions therefore allow to evaluate the impacts of the controlling parameters on the temporal variability of outflow concentration.
