  A.4. Methods for modelling and identification of nonlinear systems

This work investigates the major structure of nonlinear models that may be categorized into three main classes based on their distinct approaches to the identification of nonlinear systems application. The first class of models is based on functional series expansions or kernel regression estimate techniques which belong to the class of nonlinear nonparametric models. The second class is called nonlinear parametric models which include discrete-/continuous-time parameter estimation methods applied to difference/differential equation models, differential operator nonlinear models using modulation functions, special/block oriented models and state space models. The third one is classified as nonlinear semiparametric models which covers the recently emerging class of models based on artificial neural networks and linguistic label fuzzy models. In this work, an attempt has been made to present a thorough overview of the nonlinear models, to take a historical look and to provide insight into the advancement, the methodologies, technical difficulties, current status, etc.

  A.5. Approaches to nonlinear continuous-time systems identification

This project considers approaches to nonlinear continuous-time systems identification. It is well known that most of the real dynamic systems are continuous in time and can be represented by a set of differential equations in which the parameters are physically motivated. In recent years techniques for identification of nonlinear continuous-time systems have attracted much attention. Among the existing approaches, identification of continuous-time systems using Poisson moment functionals (PMF), generalized PMF; Markov parameter estimation; time moments; delayed state variable filters; block pulse functions (BPF), generalized BPF; Walsh functions; orthogonal polynomials (OP), generalized OP, general hybrid orthogonal functions; Laguerre polynomials; Legendre polynomials; Chebyshev polynomials; Taylor series; modulating function method; Fourier-, trigonometric-, Hermite-, spline-type- and Hartley modulating functions methods have become known in literature. This work aims to survey a brief literature in the area and analyze in general.

Abstract: This research is concerned with the new development of a general framework of methods for modeling and identification of physically-based nonlinear parametric continuous-time dynamical systems. This new framework uses Hartley modulating functions (HMF) (1995). The HMF-method assumes the a priori knowledge of the nonlinear differential equation of a physical system, the parameters of which are unknown, and uses sampled input and noise contaminated output data records for the estimation of the physically-based system parameters. The HMF-method is re-examined, further developed and applied to physically-based continuous-time dynamics. Furthermore, a new batch scheme approach (1998) for nonlinear continuous-time systems identification is developed. Please refer to the listed publications below. The developed new identification method has been thoroughly tested to physically-based nonlinear continuous-time practicable dynamical systems, e.g., in a nonlinear dynamics of a dc-motor with load, a single link robotic manipulator with flexible joint, etc., and attempts have also been made to apply in practice, e.g., in a nonlinear thyristor driven dc-motor experimental set-up. The method has used a suited weighted LS-algorithm and shown promising results for the identification of linear, bilinear, Hammerstein and integrable as well as convolvable nonlinear continuous-time systems in the presence of noticeable measurement noises. More recently, a new batch scheme nonrecursive HMF identification method is proposed and applied to the detection and estimation of gradual or smoothly time-varying and abruptly changing parameters of nonlinear dynamic systems arising in various fields such as in nonlinear chemical processes, fault detection and diagnosis of nonlinear processes, etc. Furthermore, two new batch schemes recursive HMF algorithms are developed for nonlinear continuous-time system identification based on stair-case and trapezoidal approximations for the Hartley transform numerical integration. The algorithms are implemented by moving a fixed window size of time series data forward at each sampling instance and update recursively the sequential Hartley transforms and spectra to estimate parameters of the nonlinear model. The HMF-Method is a recently developed identification approach. As it is verified in the listed publications below, the method has shown promising results for the identification of nonlinear systems. In general, these studies at this time are preliminary and there are many issues yet to be addressed, and it leads to further work towards investigating the methodology into various improvements as well as applications.

  A.7. System Identification by an Adaptive Direct Form FIR Filters

   o (i) Using Widrow-Hoff least mean squares adaptation algorithm (gradient-descent method)
   o (ii) Using conventional recursive least squares adaptation algorithm (applying rank-one modification of covariance matrices, a priori and a posteriori Kalman gain, likelihood variables, etc.)
   o (iii) Using fast recursive least squares adaptation algorithm (based on the ideas mentioned in (ii) above and forward/backward prediction, fast Kalman as well as shift-invariance property)
   o Application of these three approaches to obtain the irreducible or minimal state variable realization of the identified dynamic system by formulating a suitable Hankel matrix with Markov parameter elements and applying a row searching algorithm.

                       o Linear/Nonlinear Systems Modeling, Optimization and Control, etc.
        o The application of modern control and optimization theories to improve battle planning and execution requires models that allow battle commanders to reliably predict actual battle outcomes of various alternatives ahead of time at a certain level of abstraction. This research work developed new battlefield modeling which characterize the battle dynamics and proposed linear programming based battle planning.
        o §Developed new Linear Programming Based Automated Battle Management for a Large-scale System Using Hierarchical Optimization, etc.
         o Modern enterprise is a large-scale system with broadly distributed and potentially conflicting goals, resources and constraints, with multiple semi-autonomous participants of both human and artificial nature. Thus, to solve problem of large-scale and complex system one can structure the model hierarchically by partitioning into number of interconnected subsystems for either computational or practical reasons. This research work outlines and formulates constructive hierarchical structures for automated battle management of a large-scale system based on linear programming planning.
