Pattern-moving-based dynamic description and optimal control for non-Newtonian mechanical systems with generalized cell mapping

Abstract

This article focuses on the problem of modelling and control for a non-Newtonian mechanical system that may be subject to the statistical law instead of the traditional Newtonian principles mechanics. A discrete method, synthesizing the generalized cell mapping (GCM) together with dynamic programming (DP), with inverse search strategy, using pattern moving theory (PMT) framework, was proposed. The basic idea is to describe and control the system's dynamic peculiarity utilizing pattern class variable in ‘pattern moving space’. First, a few prior concepts were reviewed, including PMT, cell mapping, and optimal control for this kind system. Then, we articulated a cross-mapping method to analyze the system dynamic behaviour, which takes into account the computational and statistical properties of pattern class variable simultaneously. For system optimal control, the improved GCM and cost function were performed to determine the discrete optimal control table (DOCT) in accordance with dynamic programming and inverse search. Finally, simulation results of two cases demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the proposed approach. The study has resulted in a solution of describing and controlling based on pattern class variable for non-Newtonian mechanical systems, and its main objective was to give a different perspective in term of research into non mechanistic principles modelling and application of nonlinear systems.
