The partial discharge(PD) signal, may seems to be stochastic and merely random, was investigated using the method to discern between chaos and random signal, e.g. correlation integral, Lyapunov characteristic exponents and etc. For the purpose of obtaining experimental data, partial discharge detecting system via computer aided acoustic sensor, detect PD signal from the insulating system, was used. While this method is very different from typical statistical analysis from the point of view of a nonlinear analysis, it can provide better interpretable criterion according to the time evolution with a degradation process in the same type insulating system.

In this paper, addressed is the control problem of generating a formation for a group of unmanned surface and underwater vehicles. The formation control scheme proposed in this work is based on a fusion of theleader-follower and virtual reference approaches. This scheme gives a formation constraint representation that is independent of the number of vehicles in the formation and the resulting control algorithm is scalable. One of the most important features in controller design is the ability of the controller to globally and exponentially stabilize the formation errors defined by the formation constraints. The proposed controller is based on feedback linearization, and the formation errors are shown to be globally and exponentially stable in the sense of Lyapunov.

This paper aims to propose a computational technique for estimating the region of attraction (RoA) for autonomous nonlinear systems. To achieve this, the collocation method is applied to approximate the Lyapunov function by satisfying the modified Zubov's partial differential equation around asymptotically stable equilibrium points. This method is formulated for n-scalar differential equations with two classes of basis functions. In order to show the efficiency of the suggested approach, some numerical examples are solved. Moreover, the estimated regions of attraction are compared with two similar methods. In most cases, the proposed scheme can estimate the region of attraction more efficient than the other techniques.

Modeling nonlinear friction effects is a challenging problem. In this paper, a tracking controller is proposed for a system with uncertain nonlinear friction dynamics. Instead of using a specific friction model, we assume that the friction dynamics are represented by a function, which is unknown except its being continuously differentiable and Lipschitz continuous with known Lipschitz constants. It is shown that the scheme results in friction identification and trajectory position and velocity tracking. The analysis is done using Lyapunov-based stability method.

A new parameter adaptation scheme for RBF Neural Network (NN) has been developed in this paper. Even though the RBF Neural Network (NN) based controllers are robust against both un-modeled dynamics and external disturbances, the performance is not satisfactory for a fast and precise mobile robot. To improve the tracking performance as well as robustness, all the parameters of RBF NN are updated in real time. The stability of this control law is rigorously proved by following the Lyapunov stability theory and shown by the experimental simulations. The fact that all of the weighting factors, width and center of RBF NN have been updated implies that this scheme utilizes all the possibilities in RBF NN to make the controller robust and precise while the mobile robot is following un-known trajectories. The performance of this new algorithm has been compared to the conventional RBF NN controller where some of the parameters are adjusted for robustness.

A novel iterative learning control scheme comprising a unique feedforward learning controller and a disturbance observer is proposed. Disturbance observer compensates disturbance due to parameter variations, mechanical nonlinearities, unmodeled dynamics and external disturbances. The convergence and robustness of the proposed controller is proved by the method based on Lyapunov stability theorem. The results of numerical simulation are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper, a new shape control law is derived as a result of introducing the parametric curve representation. This control alw is based on the estimation of the curve parameters corresponding to the target joint positions and the target tip position. Estimating target curve parameters makes it possible to find, easily, a simple shape control law by the Lyapunov design method.

In the past few years, many researchers are interesting of control of mobile robot with nonholonomic constraints. And tracking problems is important as well as regulation in nonholonomic system control. Some researchers have investigated the stable tracking control law for mobile robot. But, few results showed the globally asymptotically stable control method simply. So, we address the design of globally asymptotically stable tracking control law for mobile robot with nonholonomic velocity constraints using simple method. The stabilizability of the controller is derived by Lyapunov direct method. And we analyze the system responses according to the variation of control parameters in line tracking problem. It is derived that the responses represent no overshoot property in line tracking. Examples are two-wheeled mobile robot and car-like mobile robot and the simulation results represent the effectiveness of our method.

This paper proposes a simple, robust, nonlinear controller based on Lyapunov stability for tracking the reference welding path and velocity of a two-wheeled welding mobile robot (WMR). The system has three degrees of freedom including two wheels and one torch slider. Torch slider motion is used for faster tracking because the welding speed is very slow. Control law is obtained from the Lyapunov control function to ensure the asymptotical stability of the system. The controller has three free parameters for adjusting the performance of the controlled system. A simple way of measuring the errors using two potentiometers is introduced. The effectiveness of the proposed controller is shown through simulation results.
