Robust Decentralized Formation Tracking Control of Complex Multiagent Systems by Naveed Mazhar, Rameez Khan, Abid Raza, Fahad Mumtaz Malik, Raja Amer Azim, Hameed Ullah

“…Furthermore, in the proposed work, the linear sliding manifold is employed to mitigate the singularity problem that occurs in the conventional robust finite-time methods, i.e., terminal sliding mode-based control schemes. The stability properties of the proposed framework are established through the Lyapunov method which not only ensures the finite-time formation tracking of nonlinear multiagent systems under directed communication but also guarantees that for all time the agents remain inside a closed boundary if they are initially inside it. …”

A novel pulse multiplication circuit for reducing harmonic distortion of 12 pulse rectifiers in aircraft electrical power systems by Rohollah Abdollahi, Ahmad Salemnia, Morteza Abdolhosseini

“…The novel PMC consists of two TIPRs (TIPR1 and TIPR2), an auxiliary single‐phase diode bridge (including four diodes D1 to D4), and two auxiliary diodes D21 and D22, which are connected directly to the output terminal of the DBRs (DBR1 and DBR2). The simulation and experimental results confirm the high capability of the proposed PMC to reduce the harmonic distortion of the input current, so that by using the proposed PMC, the input current is almost sinusoidal and the THD of the input current is less than 3%. …”
