Recently, the concept of strong structural controllability has attracted renewed attention. In this context the existing literature to strong structural controllability has been revisited and some of the previous results have been found to be incorrect. Therefore, in this paper an overview of the previous results on strong structural controllability, counterexamples and a new graph-theoretic characterization of strong structural controllability are given.
In this article, a new drivetrain configuration of a parallel hybrid electric vehicle is considered and a novel model-based control design strategy is given. In particular, the control design covers the speed synchronisation task during a restart of the internal combustion engine. The proposed multivariable synchronisation strategy is based on feedforward and decoupled feedback controllers. The performance and the robustness properties of the closed-loop system are illustrated by nonlinear simulation results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
