Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to focus on the influences of the uncertain dynamic responses on the reconstruction of loads.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the assumption of unknown-but-bounded (UBB) noise, a time-domain approach to estimate the uncertain time-dependent external loads is presented by combining the inverse system method in modern control theory and interval analysis in interval mathematics. Inspired by the concept of set membership identification in control theory, an interval analysis model of external loads time history, which is indeed a region or feasible set containing all possible loads being consistent with the bounded structural acceleration responses is established and further solved by two interval algorithms.

Findings

Unlike traditional loads identification methods which only give a point estimation, an interval estimation of external loads time history, which is a region containing all the possible loads being consistent with the uncertain structural responses, is determined. The correlation characteristics among the responses of acceleration, velocity, and displacement are also discussed in consideration of the UBB uncertainty.

Originality/value

For one hand, the solution of the inverse problem in original system is transformed to the solution of the direct problem in inverse system; for another, the authors deal with the uncertainty by use of interval analysis method, and the identified interval process, which contains any possible external loads time history being consistent with the bounded structural responses can be approximately obtained.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new control strategy based on adaptive inverse control aiming at high performance control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose a new control strategy based on adaptive inverse control aiming at high performance control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM).

Design/methodology/approach

This scheme adopts the vector control with double closed-loop structure and introduces a multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) inverse control method into velocity-loop. First, the invertibility of PMSM’s mathematical model is proved. Second, a novel dynamic network (MTN) is presented, which has simple structure and faster computing speed. Besides, to realize the high-precision speed control, three MTNs are applied to achieve system modeling, inverse modeling and noise disturbance elimination which correspond to the function of the adaptive identifier, adaptive feed-forward controller and nonlinear adaptive filter, respectively.

Findings

This scheme is designed with the full consideration of the PMSM’s particularity. For the PMSM’s unknown dynamics and time-varying characteristics, the variable forgetting factor recursive least squares algorithm is adopted to improve identification ability, and the weight-elimination algorithm is used to remove redundant regression items in the MTN identifier and inverse controller. In addition, to reduce the influence arose from measurement noise and other stochastic factors, adaptive MTN filter is introduced to eliminate noise disturbance. The computational results show that the proposed scheme possesses excellent control performance and better robustness against the load disturbance.

Originality/value

The paper presents a new inverse control scheme with MTN which is practical and flexible, and the MTN-based control system is very promising for real-time applications.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to propose novel parallel computational techniques for the parallelization of explicit finite element generalized approximate inverse methods, based on Portable Operating System Interface for UniX (POSIX) threads, for multicore systems.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors' main motive for the derivation of the new Parallel Generalized Approximate Inverse Finite Element Matrix algorithmic techniques is that they can be efficiently used in conjunction with explicit preconditioned conjugate gradient‐type schemes on multicore systems. The proposed parallelization technique of the Optimized Banded Generalized Approximate Inverse Finite Element Matrix (OBGAIFEM) algorithm is achieved based on the concept of the “fish bone” approach with the use of a thread pool pattern. Theoretical estimates on the computational complexity of the parallel generalized approximate inverse finite element matrix algorithmic techniques are also derived.

Findings

Application of the proposed method on a two‐dimensional boundary value problem is discussed and numerical results are given on a multicore system using POSIX threads. These results tend to become optimum and are favorably compared to corresponding results from multiprocessor systems, as presented in recent work by Gravvanis et al.

Originality/value

The proposed parallel explicit finite element generalized approximate inverse preconditioning, using approximate factorization and approximate inverse algorithms, is an efficient computational method that is valuable for computer scientists and for scientists and engineers in engineering computations.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper attempts to establish the general formula for computing the inverse of grey matrix, and the results are applied to solve grey linear programming. The inverse of a grey matrix and grey linear programming plays an important role in establishing a grey computational system.

Design/methodology/approach

Starting from the fact that missing information often appears in complex systems, and therefore that true values of elements are uncertain when the authors construct a matrix, as well as calculate its inverse. However, the authors can get their ranges, which are called the number-covered sets, by using grey computational rules. How to get the matrix-covered set of inverse grey matrix became a typical approach. In this paper, grey linear programming was explained in detail, for the point of grey meaning and the methodology to calculate the inverse grey matrix can successfully solve grey linear programming.

Findings

The results show that the ranges of grey value of inverse grey matrix and grey linear programming can be obtained by using the computational rules.

Practical implications

Because the matrix and the linear programming have been widely used in many fields such as system controlling, economic analysis and social management, and the missing information is a general phenomenon for complex systems, grey matrix and grey linear programming may have great potential application in real world. The methodology realizes the feasibility to control the complex system under uncertain situations.

Originality/value

The paper successfully obtained the ranges of uncertain inverse matrix and linear programming by using grey system theory, when the elements of matrix and the coefficients of linear programming are intervals and the results enrich the contents of grey mathematics.

Abstract

Purpose

In order to improve the estimation accuracy of soil organic matter, this paper aims to establish a modified model for hyperspectral estimation of soil organic matter content based on the positive and inverse grey relational degrees.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on 82 soil sample data collected in Daiyue District, Tai'an City, Shandong Province, firstly, the spectral data of soil samples are transformed by the first order differential and logarithmic reciprocal first order differential and so on, the correlation coefficients between the transformed spectral data and soil organic matter content are calculated, and the estimation factors are selected according to the principle of maximum correlation. Secondly, the positive and inverse grey relational degree model is used to identify the samples to be identified, and the initial estimated values of the organic matter content are obtained. Finally, based on the difference information between the samples to be identified and their corresponding known patterns, a modified model for the initial estimation of soil organic matter content is established, and the estimation accuracy of the model is evaluated using the mean relative error and the determination coefficient.

Findings

The results show that the methods of logarithmic reciprocal first order differential and the first-order differential of the square root for transforming the original spectral data are more effective, which could significantly improve the correlation between soil organic matter content and spectral data. The modified model for hyperspectral estimation of soil organic matter has high estimation accuracy, the average relative error (MRE) of 11 test samples is 4.091%, and the determination coefficient (R2) is 0.936. The estimation precision is higher than that of linear regression model, BP neural network and support vector machine model. The application examples show that the modified model for hyperspectral estimation of soil organic matter content based on positive and inverse grey relational degree proposed in this article is feasible and effective.

Social implications

The model in this paper has clear mathematical and physics meaning, simple calculation and easy programming. The model not only fully excavates and utilizes the internal information of known pattern samples with “insufficient and incomplete information”, but also effectively overcomes the randomness and grey uncertainty in the spectral estimation of soil organic matter. The research results not only enrich the grey system theory and methods, but also provide a new approach for hyperspectral estimation of soil properties such as soil organic matter content, water content and so on.

Originality/value

The paper succeeds in realizing both a modified model for hyperspectral estimation of soil organic matter based on the positive and inverse grey relational degrees and effectively dealing with the randomness and grey uncertainty in spectral estimation.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove the existence and unicity of the convolution inverse for a certain class of real functions of the discrete argument. The properties of these inverses, in particular the errors that arise from the truncation of the infinite sequences that represent them, are examined. In the second part of this paper subtitled “Application in solving convolution equations” the possibility of using convolution inverses for determining the solution to the Fredholm equations of the first kind is discussed.

Abstract

Novel necessary and sufficient existence conditions for convolution inverses of real finite sequences are derived. These conditions are obtained with the aid of well known conditions expressed in terms of the Fourier and z‐transforms. The conditions given in the paper imply suitable algorithms, which are convenient for checking the existence of convolution inverses of any real finite sequences.

Abstract

In the first part of this paper subtitled ‘Theory and estimation of the truncation error’ we have examined the existence and unicity of the convolution inverse. In this part of the paper we discuss the application of convolution inverses for determining the solution to the Fredholm equation of the first kind. Particular attention is paid to the errors that arise from both the truncation of the infinite sequence that represents the inverse and the inaccuracy in input data.
