Project description:Control systems need to be able to operate under uncertainty and especially under attacks. To address such challenges, this paper formulates the solution of robust control for uncertain systems under time-varying and unknown time-delay attacks in cyber-physical systems (CPSs). A novel control method able to deal with thwart time-delay attacks on closed-loop control systems is proposed. Using a descriptor model and an appropriate Lyapunov functional, sufficient conditions for closed-loop stability are derived based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A design procedure is proposed to obtain an optimal state feedback control gain such that the uncertain system can be resistant under an injection time-delay attack with variable delay. Furthermore, various fault detection frameworks are proposed by following the dynamics of the measured data at the system's input and output using statistical analysis such as correlation analysis and K-L (Kullback-Leibler) divergence criteria to detect attack's existence and to prevent possible instability. Finally, an example is provided to evaluate the proposed design method's effectiveness.

Project description:To deal with the growing scale of molecular systems, sophisticated modelling techniques have been designed in recent years to reduce the complexity of mathematical models. Among them, a widely used approach is delayed reaction for simplifying multistep reactions. However, recent research results suggest that a delayed reaction with constant time delay is unable to describe multistep reactions accurately. To address this issue, we propose a novel approach using state-dependent time delay to approximate multistep reactions. We first use stochastic simulations to calculate time delay arising from multistep reactions exactly. Then we design algorithms to calculate time delay based on system dynamics precisely. To demonstrate the power of proposed method, two processes of mRNA degradation are used to investigate the function of time delay in determining system dynamics. In addition, a multistep pathway of metabolic synthesis is used to explore the potential of the proposed method to simplify multistep reactions with nonlinear reaction rates. Simulation results suggest that the state-dependent time delay is a promising and accurate approach to reduce model complexity and decrease the number of unknown parameters in the models.

Project description:Stochastic Petri nets (SPNs) have been widely used to model randomness which is an inherent feature of biological systems. However, for many biological systems, some kinetic parameters may be uncertain due to incomplete, vague or missing kinetic data (often called fuzzy uncertainty), or naturally vary, e.g., between different individuals, experimental conditions, etc. (often called variability), which has prevented a wider application of SPNs that require accurate parameters. Considering the strength of fuzzy sets to deal with uncertain information, we apply a specific type of stochastic Petri nets, fuzzy stochastic Petri nets (FSPNs), to model and analyze biological systems with uncertain kinetic parameters. FSPNs combine SPNs and fuzzy sets, thereby taking into account both randomness and fuzziness of biological systems. For a biological system, SPNs model the randomness, while fuzzy sets model kinetic parameters with fuzzy uncertainty or variability by associating each parameter with a fuzzy number instead of a crisp real value. We introduce a simulation-based analysis method for FSPNs to explore the uncertainties of outputs resulting from the uncertainties associated with input parameters, which works equally well for bounded and unbounded models. We illustrate our approach using a yeast polarization model having an infinite state space, which shows the appropriateness of FSPNs in combination with simulation-based analysis for modeling and analyzing biological systems with uncertain information.

Project description:Gene regulation is an intrinsically noisy process, which is subject to intracellular and extracellular noise perturbations and environment fluctuations. In this paper, we consider the robust stability analysis problem of genetic regulatory networks with time-varying delays and stochastic perturbation. Different from other papers, the genetic regulate system considers not only stochastic perturbation but also parameter disturbances, it is in close proximity to the real gene regulation process than determinate model. Based on the Lyapunov functional theory, sufficient conditions are given to ensure the stability of the genetic regulatory networks. All the stability conditions are given in terms of LMIs which are easy to be verified. Illustrative examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Project description:This paper investigates robust stability of genetic regulatory networks with distributed delay. Different from other papers, distributed delay is induced. It says that the concentration of macromolecule depends on an integral of the regulatory function of over a specified range of previous time, which is more realistic. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix inequality (LMI), sufficient conditions for genetic regulatory networks to be global asymptotic stability and robust stability are derived in terms of LMI. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Project description:Nonlinear time delay systems produce inherently delay-induced periodic oscillations, which are, however, too idealistic compared to observations. We exhibit a unified stochastic framework to systematically rectify such oscillations into oscillatory patterns with enriched temporal variabilities through generic, nonlinear responses to stochastic perturbations. Two paradigms of noise-driven chaos in high dimension are identified, fundamentally different from chaos triggered by parameter-space noise. Noteworthy is a low-dimensional stretch-and-fold mechanism, leading to stochastic strange attractors exhibiting horseshoe-like structures mirroring turbulent transport of passive tracers. The other is high-dimensional , with noise acting along the critical eigendirection and transmitted to "deeper" stable modes through nonlinearity, leading to stochastic attractors exhibiting swarm-like behaviors with power-law and scale break properties. The theory is applied to cloud delay models to parameterize missing physics such as intermittent rain and Lagrangian turbulent effects. The stochastically rectified model reproduces with fidelity complex temporal variabilities of open-cell oscillations exhibited by high-end cloud simulations.

Project description:The absolute stability of large-scale Lurie direct control systems with time-varying coefficients is investigated. Based on the decomposition method for large-scale systems and technique of the nonsingular M-matrix, a suitable scalar Lyapunov function as a weighted sum is constructed. By estimating its total time derivative, some absolute stability criteria and practical corollaries are derived. Furthermore, the results are extended to multiple nonlinearities. The salient feature of this paper is that the criteria which we propose allow for the situation that the norms of time-varying coefficients are unbounded. The main idea of the methodology is that even if the coefficients are norm-unbounded, by restricting their relative magnitude, the problem of negative definiteness for the derivative can also be changed into the problem of stability for a constant matrix. Finally, some numerical examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed criteria.

Project description:Earth's orbit and axial tilt imprint a strong seasonal cycle on climatological data. Climate variability is typically viewed in terms of fluctuations in the seasonal cycle induced by higher frequency processes. We can interpret this as a competition between the orbitally enforced monthly stability and the fluctuations/noise induced by weather. Here we introduce a new time-series method that determines these contributions from monthly-averaged data. We find that the spatio-temporal distribution of the monthly stability and the magnitude of the noise reveal key fingerprints of several important climate phenomena, including the evolution of the Arctic sea ice cover, the El Nio Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Atlantic Nio and the Indian Dipole Mode. In analogy with the classical destabilising influence of the ice-albedo feedback on summertime sea ice, we find that during some time interval of the season a destabilising process operates in all of these climate phenomena. The interaction between the destabilisation and the accumulation of noise, which we term the memory effect, underlies phase locking to the seasonal cycle and the statistical nature of seasonal predictability.

Project description:This paper proposes a unified probabilistic control framework for a class of stochastic systems with both control input and state time delays. Both of the stochastic nature and time delays in the system dynamics are considered simultaneously, thus providing a comprehensive and rigorous control methodology. The problem is formulated in a fully probabilistic framework, where the system dynamics and its controller are fully characterised by arbitrary probabilistic models. In this framework, the Kullback-Leibler Divergence between the actual joint probability density function of the system dynamics and controller and a predefined ideal joint probability density function is used to characterise the discrepancy between the two distributions and derive the randomised controller. Time delays in the control input and system state are taken into consideration in the optimisation process for the derivation of the optimal randomised controller. Besides, the analytic control solution of the time delay fully probabilistic control problem for a class of linear Gaussian stochastic systems is derived while the successive approximation approach is implemented to deal with the time-advanced components in the control law that result from the existence of time delays. The effectiveness of the proposed control framework is then illustrated on a numerical example and a real-world example.

Project description:Many processes in nature are modeled using compartmental systems (reservoir/pool/box systems). Usually, they are expressed as a set of first-order differential equations describing the transfer of matter across a network of compartments. The concepts of age of matter in compartments and the time required for particles to transit the system are important diagnostics of these models with applications to a wide range of scientific questions. Until now, explicit formulas for transit-time and age distributions of nonlinear time-dependent compartmental systems were not available. We compute densities for these types of systems under the assumption of well-mixed compartments. Assuming that a solution of the nonlinear system is available at least numerically, we show how to construct a linear time-dependent system with the same solution trajectory. We demonstrate how to exploit this solution to compute transit-time and age distributions in dependence on given start values and initial age distributions. Furthermore, we derive equations for the time evolution of quantiles and moments of the age distributions. Our results generalize available density formulas for the linear time-independent case and mean-age formulas for the linear time-dependent case. As an example, we apply our formulas to a nonlinear and a linear version of a simple global carbon cycle model driven by a time-dependent input signal which represents fossil fuel additions. We derive time-dependent age distributions for all compartments and calculate the time it takes to remove fossil carbon in a business-as-usual scenario.
