Abstract Initial condition can impact the forecast precision especially in a real-time forecasting stage. The discrete linear cascade model (DLCM) and the generalized Nash model (GNM), though expressed in different ways, are both the generalization of the Nash cascade model considering the initial condition. This paper investigates the relationship and difference between DLCM and GNM both mathematically and experimentally. Mathematically, the main difference lies in the way to estimate the initial storage state. In the DLCM, the initial state is estimated and not unique, while that in the GNM is observed and unique. Hence, the GNM is the exact solution of the Nash cascade model, while the DLCM is an approximate solution and it can be transformed to the GNM when the initial storage state is calculated by the approach suggested in the GNM. As a discrete solution, the DLCM can be directly applied to the practical discrete streamflow data system. However, the numerical calculation approach such as the finite difference method is often used to make the GNM practically applicable. At last, a test example obtained by the solution of the Saint-Venant equations is used to illustrate this difference. The results show that the GNM provides a unique solution while the DLCM has multiple solutions, whose forecast precision depends upon the estimate accuracy of the current state.

This article deals with stabilization and optimal control of an articulated flexible arm by a passive approach. This approach is based on the boundary control of the Euler–Bernoulli beam by means of wave-absorbing feedback. Due to the specific propagative properties of the beam, such controls involve long-memory, non-rational convolution operators. Diffusive realizations of these operators are introduced and used for elaborating an original and efficient wave-absorbing feedback control. The globally passive nature of the closed-loop system gives it the unconditional robustness property, even with the parameters uncertainties of the system. This is not the case in active control, where the system is unstable, because the energy of high frequencies is practically uncontrollable. Our contribution comes in the achievement of optimal control by the diffusion equation. The proposed approach is original in considering a non-zero initial condition of the diffusion as an optimization variable. The optimal arm evolution, in a closed loop, is fixed in an open loop by optimizing a criterion whose variable is the initial diffusion condition. The obtained simulation results clearly illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the optimal diffusive control.

The analytical solution of an approximate (truncated) equation for the vector of a rigid body finite rotation has made it possible to solve the problem of determining the quaternion of orientation of a rigid body for an arbitrary angular velocity and small angle of rotation of a rigid body with the help of quadratures. Proceeding from this solution, the following approach to the construction of the new analytical algorithm for computation of a rigid body orientation with the use of strapdown INS is proposed: 1) By the set components of the angular velocity of a rigid body on the basis of mutually — unambiguous changes of the variables at each time point, a new angular velocity of a rigid body is calculated; 2) Using the new angular velocity and the initial position of a rigid body, with the help of the quadratures we find the exact solution of an approximate linear equation for the vector of a rigid body finite rotation with a zero initial condition; 3) The value of the quaternion orientation of a rigid body (strapdown INS) is determined by the vector of finite rotation. During construction of the algorithm for strapdown INS orientation at each subsequent step the change of the variables takes into account the previous step of the algorithm in such a way that each time the initial value of the vector of finite rotation of a rigid body will be equal to zero. Since the proposed algorithm for the analytical solution of the approximate linear equation for the vector of finite rotation is exact, it has a regular character for all angular motions of a rigid body).

Abstract. Initial condition can impact the forecast precision especially in a real-time forecasting stage. The discrete linear cascade model (DLCM) and the generalized Nash model (GNM), expressed in different ways, are both the generalization of the Nash cascade model considering the initial condition. This paper investigates the relationship and difference between DLCM and GNM both mathematically and experimentally. Mathematically, the main difference lies in the way to estimate the initial storage state. In the case of n = 1, it was shown theoretically that the difference between the two models is whether the current outflow is estimated (DLCM) or observed (GNM). The GNM is the unique solution of the Nash cascade model with a non-zero initial condition, while the DLCM is an approximate solution and it can be transformed to the GNM when the initial storage state is calculated by the approach suggested in the GNM. At last, a test example obtained by the solution of the Saint-Venant equations is used to illustrate this difference. The results show that the GNM provides a unique solution while the DLCM has multiple solutions depending on the estimate accuracy of the current state.

In this article, we present up to date results on the balanced model reduction techniques for linear control systems, in particular the singular perturbation approximation. One of the most important features of this method is it allows for an a priori L 2 and H ∞ bounds for the approximation error. This method has been successfully applied for systems with homogeneous initial conditions, however, the main focus in this work is to derive an L 2 error bound for singular perturbation approximation for system with inhomogeneous initial conditions, extending the work by Antoulas et al. The theoretical results are validated numerically.

This paper presents the problem of robust finite-time H∞ control with transients for ocean surface vessels equipped with dynamic positioning (DP) system in presence of input delay. The main objective of this work is to design a finite-time H∞ state feedback controller, which ensures that all states of ship do not exceed a given threshold over a fixed time interval, with better robustness and transient performance subject to time-varying disturbance. Based on a novel augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii-like function (LKLF) with triple integral terms and a method combining the Wirtinger inequality and reciprocally convex approach, a less conservative result is derived. In particular, an H∞ performance index with nonzero initial condition is introduced to attenuate the overconservatism caused by the assumption of zero initial condition and enhance the transient performance of ship subject to external disturbance. More precisely, the controller gain matrix for the DP system can be achieved by solving the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be easily facilitated by using some standard numerical packages. Finally, a numerical simulation for a ship is proposed to verify the effectiveness and less conservatism of the controller we designed.

Fractional telegrapher?s equation is reinterpreted in the setting of heat conduction phenomena and reobtained by considering the energy balance equation and fractional Cattaneo heat conduction law, generalized by taking into account the history of temperature gradient as well. Using the Laplace transform method, fractional telegrapher?s equation is solved on semi-bounded domain for the zero initial condition and solution is obtained as a convolution of forcing temperature on the boundary and impulse response. Some features of such obtained solution are examined.

In general, techniques used in studies on dynamic behaviour of materials could be classified into two categories, namely the split Hopkinson pressure bar technique (SHPB) and the wave propagation technique (WPT). Lagrangian analysis method is one of the most famous methods in WPT. The traditional Lagrangian analysis based on the particle velocity wave-profiles measurements should consider a boundary condition, because it involves integral operations. However, the boundary stress data in some cases cannot be detected or determined by the experimental measures. To tackle this situation, this paper presents a modified Lagrangian analysis method which does not involve the boundary stress computation. Starting from the path-lines method and utilizing the zero-initial condition, the material constitutive stress-strain curves under high strain-rates is deduced from only observing the particle velocity curve measurements. The dynamic stress/strain wave-profiles of the PMMA material, as a paradigm, are numerically studied using the proposed method, which are well in agreement with the theoretical result using the method of characteristics, which confirms the reliability and validity of the presented method.
