    Stability of Discrete-Time Systems Joined With a Saturation Operator on the State-Space: Generalized Form of Liu-michel's Criterion
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Singh, Vimal
    A novel criterion for the global asymptotic stability of discrete-time systems in a state-space realization using saturation arithmetic was previously given by Liu and Michel. In their approach, as in most (or probably all) existing approaches, the matrix P is assumed to be symmetric. In this communique, it is shown that their approach is such as to be extended to allow the use of an unsymmetric matrix P. Taking note of this, a more general form of their criterion is presented. A modified form of the criterion is also presented. Examples show the effectiveness of the generalized approach. To the best of author's knowledge, this communique is the first report of exploiting an unsymmetric P to obtain a stability condition with reduced conservatism. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    Lmi Approach To the Global Robust Stability of a Larger Class of Neural Networks With Delay
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2007) Singh, Vimal
    Sufficient conditions in the form of linear matrix inequality for the uniqueness and global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point of a large class of uncertain neural networks with delay are presented. The conditions are based on norm-bounded uncertainties. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results. A comparison is made between the present approach and an earlier approach due to Lu, Rong and Chen. An error is corrected in an earlier publication. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    A Generalized Lmi-Based Approach To the Global Asymptotic Stability of Delayed Cellular Neural Networks
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2004) Singh, V
    A novel linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based criterion for the global asymptotic stability and uniqueness of the equilibrium point of a class of delayed cellular neural networks (CNNs) is presented. The criterion turns out to be a generalization and improvement over some previous criteria.

    A new frequency-domain criterion for elimination of limit cycles in fixed-point state-space digital filters using saturation arithmetic
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2007) Singh, Vimal
    In [Singh V. Elimination of overflow oscillations in fixed-point state-space digital filters using saturation arithmetic. IEEE Trans Circ Syst 1990;37(6):814-8], a frequency-domain criterion for the suppression of limit cycles in fixed-point state-space digital filters using saturation overflow arithmetic was presented. The passivity property owing to the presence of multiple saturation nonlinearities was exploited therein. In the present paper, a new notion of passivity, namely, that involving the state variables is considered, thereby arriving at an entirely new frequency-domain criterion for the suppression of limit cycles in such filters.

    Discussion on Barkhausen and Nyquist Stability Criteria
    (Springer, 2010) Singh, Vimal
    Most textbooks on analog circuits and signal processing describe the Barkhausen criterion pertaining to the determination of sinusoidal oscillations in a closed-loop system. On the other hand, the Nyquist stability criterion is well known, as discussed in most textbooks on control systems. Recently, some examples in which the Barkhausen criterion fails to produce the correct condition for startup of oscillations have been reported. In the present paper, an explanation of oscillation startup based on the Nyquist stability criterion is given and the close relationship between the Barkhausen and the Nyquist criteria highlighted. It is shown that the Nyquist criterion (which is a rigorous technique) is a more robust approach than the Barkhausen criterion concerning the determination of sinusoidal oscillations in a closed-loop system and that the Barkhausen criterion (whenever it yields the correct result) is subsumed by the Nyquist criterion as a special case. The textbooks usually describe the Barkhausen criterion as a separate topic, i.e., do not discuss the relationship of this criterion with the Nyquist criterion. It is, therefore, felt that the present discussion will go a long way to put the subject in a broader perspective.

    A Note on Determination of Oscillation Startup Condition
    (Springer, 2006) Singh, Vimal
    There prevails a widespread notion that, given a closed-loop system, oscillation will commence and build up therein if the magnitude of loop gain is greater than unity at the frequency at which the angle of loop gain is zero degree. Three novel examples in which this notion fails are presented.

    New Lmi Condition for the Nonexistence of Overflow Oscillations in 2-D State-Space Digital Filters Using Saturation Arithmetic
    (Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2007) Singh, Vimal
    A new criterion for the nonexistence of overflow oscillations in 2-D state-space digital filters described by Roesser model using saturation arithmetic is presented. The criterion is in the form of a linear matrix inequality (LMI) and hence computationally tractable. The criterion is compared with an earlier LMI-based criterion due to Xiao and Hill. It turns out that the present criterion may uncover some new A (i.e., other than those arrived at via Xiao-Hill's criterion) for which the absence of overflow oscillations is assured.

    2-D Digital Filter Realization Without Overflow Oscillations
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2013) Singh, Vimal
    A novel criterion for the elimination of overflow oscillations in 2-D state-space digital filters described by the Roesser model employing two's complement overflow arithmetic is presented. The criterion takes the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI) and, hence, is computationally tractable. The criterion is a generalization and improvement over an earlier criterion. An example shows the effectiveness of the new criterion. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
