Structure determination and parameter identification of multivariate systems are crucial but rather difficult issues in system identification. Due to the explosive growth of process data along with the scale increase of industrial processes, directional...

In this paper, a robust nonlinear control design using an operator-based robust right coprime factorization approach is considered for vibration control on an aircraft vertical tail with piezoelectric elements. First, a model of the aircraft vertical...

This paper addresses the consensus protocol design problem for linear multi-agent systems with input saturation. Existing consensus protocols usually contain certain global information, such as network size or the spectrum of the Laplacian matrix, and...

The main focus of this paper is on a graphical tuning method of non-linear fractional-order PID (FOPID)-type controllers, i.e. a class of FOPID-type controllers that non-linearly depend on the control parameters, e.g. FO[PI], FO[PD] etc. Firstly, a method...

This paper presents a novel intelligent method based on local mean decomposition and multi-class reproducing wavelet support vector machines (RWSVMs), which are applied to detect leakage in natural gas pipelines. First, local mean decomposition is used...
