6.Observer-based fault reconstruction for linear systems using adaptive sliding mode method
Hao Li, Ying Yang, Yifan Wei, Fengzhi Dai
Pages: 236 - 239
This paper studies the fault reconstruction problem for the continuous linear time-invariant system. A new disturbance-decoupled fault reconstruction design is proposed by cooperating with the idea of the adaptive sliding mode method. The new scheme does not impose restrictions on both the upper boundary...

9.Continuous Non-singular Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Control for an Active Gravity Field Simulator
Jiao Jia, Yingmin Jia, Shihao Sun
Pages: 253 - 256
In this paper, a global non-singular fast terminal sliding mode controller (FTSMC) is designed for an active gravity field simulator (AGFS). The stability of the control algorithm can be easily verified by using Lyapunov theory. It is shown that the proposed controller can eliminate the chattering effect...

10.Influence of Partner Selection on Functional Differentiation: Emergence of Diversity by Isolated Interaction and Preference Change
Saori Iwanaga, Akira Namatame
Pages: 257 - 264
When examining collective behavior, we focus on the interactions of individuals. We must also consider the microscopic level, where individual agent decisions occur, and the macroscopic level, where collective behavior can be observed. Collective behavior is both interesting and difficult because aggregate...

11.Detection of changes in the employment environment in Japan based on the numbers of people leaving and entering employment using NMF
Masao Kubo, Hiroshi Sato, Akihiro Yamaguchi, Yuji Aruka
Pages: 265 - 269
If there were no changes in the environment surrounding businesses, the numbers of people leaving and entering employment would stay almost the same. Therefore, understanding the numbers allow us to make assumptions about the changes inside and outside companies. However, when categorizing businesses...
