Singular systems behave more powerfully in termsof dynamical system modeling than ordinary state space systems. Since thealgebraic equations in singular models can describe the systems constraints,nonlinear singular systems can present a general method for modeling andcontrol of constrained dynamical systems. This paper discusses an adaptivecontrol for nonlinear singular systems which satisfy Lipschitz condition. Adaptivemethods for singular systems are hardly ever investigated in literatures;however they are very useful methods in practice because the adaptive mechanismduring the adaptive control can adjust the controller for a system with unknownstructures and parameters to improve the system performance. The presentedcontroller is composed of a state feedback approach with adaptive gains and amechanism to adjust the gains based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. Firstthe controller is designed to stabilize the system then it is extended for the trackingproblem. A simulation on a mobile robot singular model is provided toillustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

Many real-world applications require minimization of a cost function. This function is the criterion that figures out optimality. In control engineering, this criterion is used in the design of optimal controllers. Cost function optimization has difficulties including calculating gradient function and lack of information about the system and the control loop. In this article, gradient memetic evolutionary programming is proposed for minimization of non-convex cost functions that have been defined in control engineering for the first time. Moreover, stability and convergence of the proposed algorithm are proved. Besides, it is modified to be used in online optimization. To achieve this, the sign of the gradient function is utilized. For calculating the sign of gradient, there is no need to know the cost function shape. The gradient function is estimated by the algorithm. The proposed algorithm is used to design a PI controller for nonlinear benchmark system CSTR (Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor) by online and off-line approaches.

A numerical technique based on Legendre Polynomials for finding optimal control of nonlinear systems with quadratic performance index is presented. An operational matrix of integration and product matrix are introduced and are used to reduce the nonlinear differential equations to the solution of nonlinear algebraic equations. The optimal solution of two classes of first and second order nonlinear systems is considered. In the case of second-order nonlinear systems, a new approach is introduced to find the optimal solution. In both cases, numerical examples are given and compared with the Taylor polynomial to confirm the accuracy of the proposed method.

In this paper, a face recognition system, by using Contourlet transform (CT) as a two dimensional discrete transform and principal component analysis (PCA) as a sub-space method to form the feature vectors, is implemented. Any input image is decomposed by CT up to three levels and the CT coefficients are obtained at three scales and 15 orientations. The obtained CT coefficients are used by PCA to form the feature vectors. At the end, the Euclidean distance is used for classification. Our experimental results on ORL data base show the appropriate performance in comparison with other approaches even though for each subject only one image is used for training and other 9 images are used for testing. The average accuracy of our proposed algorithm for face recognition is 96.07%. 人脸识别基于Contourlet变换和主成分分析的粗子带伊尔哈姆哈希米鲥鱼， 抽象 在本文中，面部识别系统，通过使用轮廓波变换（CT），其为二维离散变换和主成分分析（PCA），为子空间法，以形成特征向量，实现的。任何输入图象是通过CT分解最多三个水平和三个尺度和15取向获得的CT系数。将所得的CT系数由PCA用于形成特征向量。在结束时，欧几里德距离被用于分类。我们在ORL数据的基础的实验结果表明，与其他的方法，即使对于每个受试者仅一个图像用于培训和其他9图像用于测试比较的适当的性能。我们提出的算法用于人脸识别的平均精度为96.07％

In this article we investigate on robust mixed-sensitivity H∞ control for speed and torque control of induction motor (IM). In order to simplify the design procedure the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy approach is introduced to solve the nonlinear model Problem. Loop-shaping methodology and Mixed-sensitivity problem are developed to formulate frequency-domain specifications. Then a regional pole-placement output feedback H∞ controller is employed by using linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) teqnique for each linear subsystem of IM T-S fuzzy model. Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) is used to design the controller for the overall system . Simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller even in the presence of motor parameter variations and unknown load disturbance.
