This paper presents a method to design a repetitive controller that is specified in the specified trajectory for the repetitive works. With the single-model design approach, the controller is derived by minimizing a frequency-domain based cost function that produces monotonic convergence of the tracking error as a function of repetition number. Numerical illustrations show how the proposed single-model design method produces a repetitive controller in a single nominal model of the system.

포항제철 2열연공장의 사상압연에 사용되고 있는 DC 모터를 가지는 열간압연 구동기에 대한 견실 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계방법을 제안한다. 기존에는 PI 재어기법을 이용하여 속도를 제어하고 있으므로 불확실성과 외란등이 존재할 경우 양호한 제어 성능을 얻기 힘들다. 이를 해결하기 위해 주파수 하중 함수를 가지는 혼합감도최소화 문제를 설정하여 견실성을 보장하는 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기를 설계한다. 이때 주파수 하중함수는 루프쉐이핑기법을 이용하여 주어진 구동기 플랜트에 적합하도록 선택한다. H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계는 Pasek이 제시한 DC 모터의 모델링 방법에 의해 얻어진 모델을 포함하는 구동기 모델에서 속도제어기 부분을 제외한 모델을 대상으로 한다. 제안한 견실 속도제어기 설계방법은 파라미터 변화나 부하토크 변동 등의 외란에 대하여 폐루프 시스템의 견실안정성과 원하는 속도에 좋은 추적 성능을 보인다. 제어 대상인 포항제철 2열연공장의 열간압연 구동기에 대한 시뮬레이션을 통해 기준속도 추적성, 응답속도, 불확실성과 외란에 대한 견실성 등의 성능에 기존의 PI 속도제어기보다 양호함을 확인함으로써 제안한 견실 H/sup .inf./ 속도제어기 설계 방법의 타당성을 보인다.

The VLC system undertakes both missions of illumination and wireless communication. It is difficult to design a VLC system with optimal performance due to the trade-offs between power consumption and channel quality. In this paper, the VLC system design problem is solved by using multi-objective optimization method. For optimization, the multi-objective function is formulated with respect to power consumption, received power, and SNR under the constraints on the system variables. Through the multi-objective optimization, it is possible to obtain the solutions that satisfies both minimum power consumption and maximum channel quality.

The objective of this study is development of the optimum design program to minimize the cost for PSC box girder bridge using the full staging method to indicate the necessity for the optimum design applied many types of bridges. It also considered the proper span length to girder depth ratio and the cell number along the width of bridge. This program used SUMT procedure and Kavlie's extended penalty function to allow infeasible design points in the process. Powell's direct method was used in searching design points and Gradient Approximate Method was used to reduce design hours. This study showed the convergence in design parameter and correlation of totally optimized cost according to cell numbers, span lengths, and lane numbers.

In this paper, we propose an efficient location tracking scheme using wireless signals for various situations in marine environment that requires location information for many reasons such as lifesaving, accident prevention, and facility management. Our proposed location tracking scheme not only monitors user's location, but also minimizes the risk under the user's limited battery power budget. The position of a user can be obtained at base stations from the strengths of the received signals from the user. In this case, it may require to prevent the user from getting out of the predetermined safe area. For each location in the safe area, we define a risk function, which is influenced by many factors such as location accuracy, depth, flow rate, and geometry. Our proposed scheme is based on finger printing technique and aims at minimizing the average risk of each user in the safe area.

This paper suggests the improvement of the Sumjinkang for the estimation of areal averages of heavy rainfall events based on the optimal network and three existing networks. The problem consists of minimizing an objective function which includes both the accuracy of the areal mean estimation as expressed by the Kriging variance and the economic cost of the data collection. The wellknown geostatistical variance-reduction method is used in combination with SATS which is an algorithm of minimization. At the first stage, two kinds of optimal solutions are obtained by two trade-off coefficients. One of them is a optimal solution, the other is an alternative. At the second stage, a quasi optimal network and a quasi alternative are suggested so that the existing raingages near to the selected optimal raingages are included in the two solutions instead of gages of new gages.

This program used the SUMT procedure and Kavlie's extended-penalty function to allow infeasible design points in the process. Powel's direct method was used in searching design points, and the gradient approximate method was used to reduce the design hours.

Flood frequency analysis commonly used to design the hydraulic structures to minimize flood damage includes uncertainty. Therefore, the most appropriate design flood within a uncertainty should be selected in the final stage of a hydraulic structure, but related studies were rarely carried out. The total expected cost function introduced into the flood frequency analysis is a new approach for determining the optimal design flood. This procedure has been used as UNCODE (UNcertainty COmpliant DEsign), but the application has not yet been introduced in South Korea. This study introduced the mathematical procedure of UNCODE and calculated the optimal design flood using the annual maximum inflow of hydroelectric dams located in the Bukhan River system and results were compared with that of the existing flood frequency. The parameter uncertainty was considered in the total expected cost function using the Gumbel and the GEV distribution, and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm was used to sample the parameters. In this study, cost function and damage function were assumed to be a first-order linear function. It was found that the medians of the optimal design flood for 4 Hydroelectric dams, 2 probability distributions, and 2 return periods were calculated to be somewhat larger than the design flood by the existing flood frequency analysis. In the future, it is needed to develop the practical approximated procedure to UNCODE.

The belief propagation method that has been studied recently yields good performance in disparity extraction. The method in which a target function is modeled as an energy function based on Markov random field(MRF), solves the stereo matching problem by finding the disparity to minimize the energy function. MRF models provide robust and unified framework for vision problem such as stereo and image restoration. the belief propagation method produces quite correct results, but it has difficulty in real time implementation because of higher computational complexity than other stereo methods. To relieve this problem, in this paper, we propose a fast algorithm of the belief propagation method. Energy function consists of a data term and a smoothness tern. The data term usually corresponds to the difference in brightness between correspondences, and smoothness term indicates the continuity of adjacent pixels. Smoothness information is created from messages, which are assigned using four different message arrays for the pixel positions adjacent in four directions. The processing time for four message arrays dominates 80 percent of the whole program execution time. In the proposed method, we propose an algorithm that dramatically reduces the processing time require in message calculation, since the message.; are not produced in four arrays but in a single array. Tn the last step of disparity extraction process, the messages are called in the single integrated array and this algorithm requires 1/4 computational complexity of the conventional method. Our method is evaluated by comparing the disparity error rates of our method and the conventional method. Experimental results show that the proposed method remarkably reduces the execution time while it rarely increases disparity error.

This paper deals with the nonlinear optimal control approach to helicopter maneuver problems using the indirect method. We apply a penalty function to the integral deviation from a prescribed trajectory to convert the system optimality to an unconstrained optimal control problem. The resultant two-point boundary value problem has been solved by using a multiple-shooting method. This paper focuses on the model selection strategies to resolve the problem of numerical instability and high wait time when a high fidelity model with rotor dynamics is applied. Four different types of helicopter models are identified, two of which are linear models with or without rotor models, as well as two models which include the nonlinear mathematical model for rotor in its formulation. The relative computation time and the number of function calls for each model are compared in order to provide a guideline for the selection of helicopter model.
