No full textAccelerated norm-optimal iterative learning control
No full textThis paper proposes a novel technique for accelerating the convergence of the previously published norm-optimal iterative learning control (NOILC) methodology. The basis of the results is a formal proof of an observation made by the first author, namely that the NOILC algorithm is equivalent to a successive projection algorithm between linear varieties in a suitable product Hilbert space. This leads to two proposed accelerated algorithms together with well-defined convergence properties. The results show that the proposed accelerated algorithms are capable of ensuring monotonic error norm reductions and can outperform NOILC by more rapid reductions in error norm from iteration to iteration. In particular, examples indicate that the approach can improve the performance of NOILC for the problematic case of non-minimum phase systems. Realisation of the algorithms is discussed and numerical simulations are provided for comparative purposes and to demonstrate the numerical performance and effectiveness of the proposed methods
Lappula balchaschensis Golosk. 1975
No full textLappula balchaschensis Popov ex Golosk. (1975: 73). Type:— KAZAKHSTAN. Balkhash, 13 June 1934, M. Popov 7073 (holotype AA, not seen, isotype MW0594314!) = Lappula deserticola var. longicalyx X.M. Pi & Z.J. Wang (Wang & Pi 1997: 67). syn. nov. Type:— CHINA, Xinjiang, Urumqi to Dabancheng, 1100 m, 27 May 1989, J.C. Zhao G-001 (holotype XJU00016493B!) Distribution and habitat: — Lappula balchaschensis is distributed in Kazakhstan, China, Mongolia and Russia (Goloskokov 1964, Ovczinnikova 2009, 2019). This species grows on the Gobi Desert at altitudes of 300–1200 m above sea level. Phenology: —Flowering and fruiting from May to September. Taxonomic notes: — Wang (1981) pointed out that the length of calyx and marginal glochids of nutlet were essential to identify L. balchaschensis and L. deserticola. Based on thorough examination of specimens and field investigations, we found that the length of marginal glochids was not useful to clarify these two species, because this character was quite variable within population for L. balchaschensis. We also carefully observed the nutlet morphology of L. deserticola, and the nutlets of this species were heteromorphic (Fig. 2). Based on morphological comparisons, we considered that the features of nutlet margins may be more critical than the length of marginal glochids for identification of L. balchaschensis and L. deserticola.

No full textThe following is a sketch of the life and work of Donald Holmes Hyers, Professor Emeritus from the University of Southern California. The theorem put forth by Hyers in 1941 concerning linear functional equations has gained a great deal of interest over the past two decades. Hundreds of articles have been written citing his works, many of which have furthered the theorem. This paper contains a brief description of Hyers’ theorem, a biographical essay and an extensive bibliography of Hyers’ work and works citing the Hyers theorem or the D.H. Hyers–S.M. Ulam–Th.M. Rassias theorem or related subjects of almost the last three decades. The author of this paper is the grandson of D.H. Hyers
