In this paper a steering control algorithm for the Extended Nonholonomic Double Integrator is presented. An adaptive backstepping based controller is proposed which yields asymptotic stabilization and convergence of the closed loop system to the origin. This is achieved by transforming the original system into a new system which can be globally asymptotically stabilized. Once the new system is stabilized, the stability of the original system can be easily established. Stability of the closed loop...
For linear periodic discrete-time systems the analysis of the model error introduced by a truncation on the balanced minimal realization is performed, and a bound for the infinity norm of the model error is introduced. The results represent an extension to the periodic systems of the well known results on the balanced truncation for time-invariant systems. The general case of periodically time-varying state-space dimension has been considered.
Probabilistic mixtures provide flexible “universal” approximation of probability density functions. Their wide use is enabled by the availability of a range of efficient estimation algorithms. Among them, quasi-Bayesian estimation plays a prominent role as it runs “naturally” in one-pass mode. This is important in on-line applications and/or extensive databases. It even copes with dynamic nature of components forming the mixture. However, the quasi-Bayesian estimation relies on mixing via constant...
We consider semi-Markov control models with Borel state and action spaces, possibly unbounded costs, and holding times with a generalized exponential distribution with unknown mean θ. Assuming that such a distribution does not depend on the state-action pairs, we introduce a Bayesian estimation procedure for θ, which combined with a variant of the vanishing discount factor approach yields average cost optimal policies.
This paper considers Bayesian parameter estimation and an associated adaptive control scheme for controlled Markov chains and diffusions with time-averaged cost. Asymptotic behaviour of the posterior law of the parameter given the observed trajectory is analyzed. This analysis suggests a "cost-biased" estimation scheme and associated self-tuning adaptive control. This is shown to be asymptotically optimal in the almost sure sense.
We survey the so-called behavioral approach to systems and control theory, which was founded by J. C. Willems and his school. The central idea of behavioral systems theory is to put the focus on the set of trajectories of a dynamical system rather than on a specific set of equations modelling the underlying phenomenon. Moreover, all signal components are treated on an equal footing at first, and their partition into inputs and outputs is derived from the system law, in a way that admits several...
The stochastic optimal control uses the differential equation of Bellman and its solution - the Bellman function. Recently the Bellman function proved to be an efficient tool for solving some (sometimes old) problems in harmonic analysis.
Many researches have been interested in the approximation properties of Fuzzy Logic Systems (FLS), which, like neural networks, can be seen as approximation schemes. Almost all of them tackled the Mamdani fuzzy model, which was shown to have many interesting approximation features. However, only in few cases the Sugeno fuzzy model was considered. In this paper, we are interested in the zero-order Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) Sugeno fuzzy model with Beta membership functions. This leads to Beta...
Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the existence of a solution to some bilateral polynomial matrix equations with unimodular right-hand-side matrices. A procedure for the computation of the solution is derived and illustrated by a numerical example. Two examples of applications of bilateral polynomial matrix equations are presented.
Companion matrices of the second type are characterized by properties that involve bilinear maps.
