Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):1862 - 1877

| | PDF (704 KB) | HTML

The control of complex systems poses new challenges that fall beyond the traditional methods of control theory. One of these challenges is given by the need to control, coordinate and synchronize the operation of several interacting submodules within a system. The desired objectives are no longer captured by usual control specifications such as stabilization or output regulation. Instead, we consi... View full abstract»

| | PDF (421 KB) | HTML

This paper studies rate requirements for state estimation in linear time-invariant (LTI) systems where the controller and the plant are connected via a noiseless channel with limited capacity. Using information theoretic arguments, we obtain first for scalar systems, and subsequently for multidimensional systems, lower bounds on the data rates required for state estimation under three different st...

• ### Complex Dynamics of Systems Under Delta-Modulated Feedback

Publication Year: 2006, Page(s):1888 - 1902

In this paper, we cast the design ofDelta-modulated control of a high-order system into the study of control Lyapunov functions. We classify the complex dynamics of the closed-loop system in three cases. In the first case, we show how Delta-modulated feedback introduces a finite set of globally attracting periodic points. We find the numbers and periods of all possible such periodic orbits. In add... View full abstract»

| | PDF (1693 KB) | HTML

We consider the constrained finite and infinite time optimal control problem for the class of discrete-time linear hybrid systems. When a linear performance index is used the finite and infinite time optimal solution is a piecewise affine state feedback control law. In this paper, we present algorithms that compute the optimal solution to both problems in a computationally efficient manner and wit... View full abstract»

| | PDF (618 KB) | HTML

A generalized Hinfin control problem, which covers preview and delayed control strategies, is discussed based on a state-space approach. By introducing a Hamiltonian matrix, which is associated with a delay-free generalized plant, the analytic solution to the corresponding operator Riccati equation is newly established. Based on the result obtained here, the Hinfin control pr... View full abstract»

| | PDF (220 KB) | HTML

A means of obtaining a nonovershooting output tracking response for single-input-single-output (SISO) strict-feedback nonlinear systems is introduced. With the proposed method, arbitrary reference trajectories can be tracked "from below" for arbitrary initial conditions (as long as the initial value of the plant output is strictly below the initial value of the reference trajectory). In addition, ... View full abstract»

This note presents a new extension of the inclusion principle to cope with the problem of designing robust overlapping controllers for state-delayed discrete-time systems with norm bounded uncertainties using the concept of guaranteed cost control. Expansion-contraction relations for systems and contractibility conditions for output guaranteed cost memoryless controllers are proved, including cond... View full abstract»

| | PDF (285 KB) | HTML

In this note, non-smooth finite-time stabilization of nonlinear systems with parametric and dynamic uncertainties is investigated. To solve this problem, the input-to-state stability property is used to characterize unmeasured dynamic uncertainties. A constructive partial-state control design is proposed on the basis of involved combined use of Lyapunov, backstepping and input-to-state stability t... View full abstract»

This note proposes a simple linear matrix inequality (LMI) system for the design of static precompensators to reduce the interactions of a multivariable system. The approach is based on minimizing the H2 norm of a modified system and the LMIs are derived from the well known technique of pseudodiagonalisation. The approach is applied to two complex real-life benchmark problems with high... View full abstract»

In this note, we first establish an improved and generalized overshoot estimation in pole placements. Then this estimation is applied to the observer-based output feedback stabilization problem for switched linear systems with arbitrary switching frequency. Our results complement those results of Cheng about the state feedback stabilization of switched linear systems View full abstract»

Identification is considered for the Hammerstein system consisting of a static nonlinear block f(middot) followed by an ARX subsystem, when the system output is observed with noise. No assumption is made on the structure of f(middot). Recursive estimates are given for coefficients of the ARX subsystem and for the value of f(u) at any u. All estimates are proved to converge to the true values with ... View full abstract»

This note proposes a novel algorithm for robust partial eigenvalue assignment (RPEVA) problem for a cubic matrix pencil arising from modeling of vibrating systems with aerodynamic effects. The RPEVA problem for a cubic pencil is the one of choosing suitable feedback matrices to reassign a few (say k<3n) unwanted eigenvalues while leaving the remaining large number (3n-k) of them unchanged, in s...

An Hinfin suboptimal state feedback controller for constrained input systems is derived using the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equation of a corresponding zero-sum game that uses a special quasi-norm to encode the constraints on the input. The unique saddle point in feedback strategy form is derived. Using policy iterations on both players, the HJI equation is broken into a sequence of ... View full abstract»

We study a feedforward supply network that involves assembly operations. We compute optimal stock levels which minimize inventory costs and maintain stockout probabilities below given desirable levels (service-level constraints). To that end, we develop large deviations approximations for inventory costs and service level constraints and formulate the stock level selection problem as a nonlinear p... View full abstract»

Ordinal optimization has emerged as an efficient technique for simulation optimization. A good allocation of simulation samples across designs can further dramatically improve the efficiency of ordinal optimization.
