The semiempirical time-dependent Hartree-Fock PM3 calculations have been performed on three polyene systems. In order to study the nonlinear optical properties, we calculated the frequency-dependent first-, second-, and third-order polarizabilities of thiophene-, furan-, pyrrole-nitro polyene systems. The PM3 predicted average and longitudinal polarizabilties increase in the order: thiophene- > pyrrole- > furan-nitro polyene systems. The PM3 predicted limiting average second-order polarizabilities show the order: pyrrole- > furan- > thiophene-nitro polyene systems. The average and longitudinal third-order polarizabilties have the following order: pyrrole- > thiophene- > furan-nitro polyene systems. In these trends, we sugest that pyrrole group is the best donor group among the three polyene systems.

This paper designs observers for matrix second-order linear systems on the basis of generalized eigenstructure assignment via unified parametric approach. It is shown that the problem is closely related with a type of so-called generalized matrix second-order Sylvester matrix equations. Through establishing two general parametric solutions to this type of matrix equations, two unified complete parametric methods for the proposed observer design problem are presented. Both methods give simple complete parametric expressions for the observer gain matrices. The first one mainly depends on a series of singular value decompositions, and is thus numerically simple and reliable; the second one utilizes the right factorization of the system, and allows eigenvalues of the error system to be set undetermined and sought via certain optimization procedures. A spring-mass system is utilized to show the effect of the proposed approaches.

The design of reconfiguring a class of second-order dynamic systems via proportional plus derivative (P-D) feedback is considered. The aim is to resynthesize a P-D feedback controller such that the eigenvalues of the reconfigured closed-loop system can completely recover those of the original close-loop system, and make the corresponding eigenvectors of the former as close to those of the latter as possible. Based on a parametric result of P-D feedback eigenstructure assignment in second-order dynamic systems, parametric expressions for all the P-D feedback gains and all the closed-loop eigenvector matrices are established and a parametric algorithm for this reconfiguration design is proposed. The parametric algorithm offers all the degrees of design freedom, which can be further utilized to satisfy some additional performances in control system designs. This algorithm involves manipulations only on the original second-order system matrices, thus it is simple and convenient to use. An illustrative example and the simulation results show the simplicity and effect of the proposed parametric method.

In this paper, we present a new method that combines the characteristics of edge in-formation and second-order neural networks for the classification of structural textures. The edges of a texture are extracted using an edge detection approach. From this edge information, classification features called second-order features are obtained. These features are fed into a second-order neural network for training and subsequent classification. It will be shown that the main disadvantage of using structural methods in texture classifications, namely, the difficulty of the extraction of texels, is overcome by the proposed method.

This paper proposes a robust control method using Universal Learning Network(U.L.N.) and second order derivatives of U.L.N.. Robust control considered here is defined as follows. Even if external input (equal to reference input in this paper) to the system at control stage changes awfully from that at learning stage, the system can be controlled so as to maintain a good performance. In order to realize such a robust control, a new term concerning the perturbation is added to a usual criterion function. And parameter variables are adjusted so as to minimize the above mentioned criterion function using the second order derivative of the criterion function with respect to the parameters.

This paper has shown that the impulse and the unit step responses of 2nd-order systems can be computed by an analytic method. Three different 2nd-order systems are investigated: the prototype system, the system with one LHP(left half plane) real zero and the system with one RHP(right half plane) real zero. It has also shown that the effects of the LHP or the RHP zero are very serious when the zero is getting closer to the origin on the complex plane. Based on these analytic results, this paper has presented two sufficient and necessary conditions for 2nd-order linear SISO(single-input/single-output) stable systems to have the nonovershooting and the monotone nondecreasing step response, respectively. The latter condition can be extended to the sufficient conditions for the monotone nondecreasing step response of high-order systems.

The lateral resolution in an ultrasound imaging system is one of the most important factors for quality of the image and is determined by the beam focusing. For the better lateral resolution SDF(Sampled Delay Focusing) capable of digital focusing was proposed. The second-order sampling, one of band-width sampling methods, is suggested as being the best suitable for SDF because it allows total digital processing and is simple and economical. By proving that it introduces too much error, this article shows the second-order sampling is not appropriate for sampling of the wide-band signal generally used in ultrasound imaging systems. Also, this article suggests new sampling methods that maintain the advantages and reduce the unavoidable errors of the second-order sampling method. From computer simulation it is expected that the proposed methods reduce the errors of the second-order sampling method and can be used in real applications.

Sufficient conditions for controllability of semilinear second order Volterra integrodifferential systems in Banach spaces are established using the theory of strongly continuous cosine families. The results are obtained by using the Schauder fixed point theorem. An example is provided to illustrate the theory.
