Second order local identifiability is given a structural definition related to those of [3], [5], [6]. The proof of the main equivalence theorem differs from that of Rothenberg [6] in that it does not involve differential equations.","PeriodicalId":375119,"journal":{"name":"1978 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control including the 17th Symposium on Adaptive Processes","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128489557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If it is assumed that the regulation condition places no constraint on control states, that the exosystem can be observed from the controller, that all exosystem states are effective in generating output requests, and that feedback is inoperative when the regulation condition is satisfied, then it is known that the controller contains an algebraic model of the exosystem, provided that a suitable exosubset of regulator states exists to represent the action of the exosystem within the context of the overall regulator. This paper examines the possibility of directly constructing the exosubset from elementary dynamical descriptions of plant, exosystem, and controller, with the aid of quotient set representation of exosystem states. The construction indicates that exosubset existence is a non-trivial question, and brings out the importance of product versus coproduct state descriptions for the regulator.","PeriodicalId":375119,"journal":{"name":"1978 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control including the 17th Symposium on Adaptive Processes","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127411447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impulse responses of endtidal CO2, minute ventilation, tidal volume, inspiratory and expiratory durations were estimated by cross-correlating outputs with the PRBS input. Data collected in seven normal men suggest that impulse responses may be useful in isolating the contribution of peripheral chemoreceptors. Estimates of peripheral sensitivity to CO2 based on PRBS show significantly smaller intrasubject variability than those based on sinusoidal test inputs. Application of a Nelder-Mead parameter estimation procedure demonstrated that a third order model is sufficient to explain impulse response dynamics.","PeriodicalId":375119,"journal":{"name":"1978 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control including the 17th Symposium on Adaptive Processes","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121736197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
