Static-Output-Feedback ${\mathscr H}_{\bm \infty }$ Control of Continuous-Time T - S Fuzzy Affine Systems Via Piecewise Lyapunov Functions

Abstract: This paper investigates the problem of robust H∞ output feedback control for a class of continuous-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy affine dynamic systems with parametric uncertainties and input constraints. The objective is to design a suitable constrained piecewise affine static output feedback controller, guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of the resulting closed-loop fuzzy control system with a prescribed H∞ disturbance attenuation level. Based on a smooth piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function combined with S-procedure and some matrix inequality convexification techniques, some new results are developed for static output feedback controller synthesis of the underlying continuous-time T-S fuzzy affine systems. It is shown that the controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, three examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

A Probabilistic Collaborative Representation Based Approach for Pattern Classification

Abstract: Conventional representation based classifiers, ranging from the classical nearest neighbor classifier and nearest subspace classifier to the recently developed sparse representation based classifier (SRC) and collaborative representation based classifier (CRC), are essentially distance based classifiers. Though SRC and CRC have shown interesting classification results, their intrinsic classification mechanism remains unclear. In this paper we propose a probabilistic collaborative representation framework, where the probability that a test sample belongs to the collaborative subspace of all classes can be well defined and computed. Consequently, we present a probabilistic collaborative representation based classifier (ProCRC), which jointly maximizes the likelihood that a test sample belongs to each of the multiple classes. The final classification is performed by checking which class has the maximum likelihood. The proposed ProCRC has a clear probabilistic interpretation, and it shows superior performance to many popular classifiers, including SRC, CRC and SVM. Coupled with the CNN features, it also leads to state-of-the-art classification results on a variety of challenging visual datasets.

Tool wear and failure monitoring techniques for turning—A review

Abstract: Although a wide variety of tool failure sensing techniques have been developed over the years, few of them have been used in industries successfully. This paper provides a review of the numerous techniques and methods of monitoring tool wear particularly in turning operations. By and large, these techniques appear to be “single-minded” in that they are capable of detecting and diagnosing tool wear and failure relating to particular classes of faults. A universal approach which can detect the very many failure modes in tool condition monitoring has still not been devised.
