Approximation of Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms

Krzysztof Tchoń, Joanna Karpińska, Mariusz Janiak (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper addresses the synthesis problem of Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms for stationary manipulators and mobile robots. Special attention is paid to the design of extended Jacobian algorithms that approximate the Jacobian pseudoinverse algorithm. Two approaches to the approximation problem are developed: one relies on variational calculus, the other is differential geometric. Example designs of the extended Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithm for 3DOF manipulators as well as for the...

Averaging approach to distributed convex optimization for continuous-time multi-agent systems

Wei Ni, Xiaoli Wang (2016)

Kybernetika

Recently, distributed convex optimization has received much attention by many researchers. Current research on this problem mainly focuses on fixed network topologies, without enough attention to switching ones. This paper specially establishes a new technique called averaging-base approach to design a continuous-time distributed algorithm for convex optimization problem under switching topology. This idea of using averaging was proposed in our earlier works for the consensus problem of multi-agent...

Boundary value problems and periodic solutions for semilinear evolution inclusions

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider boundary value problems for semilinear evolution inclusions. We establish the existence of extremal solutions. Using that result, we show that the evolution inclusion has periodic extremal trajectories. These results are then applied to closed loop control systems. Finally, an example of a semilinear parabolic distributed parameter control system is worked out in detail.

Boundary-influenced robust controls: two network examples

Martin V. Day (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the differential game associated with robust control of a system in a compact state domain, using Skorokhod dynamics on the boundary. A specific class of problems motivated by queueing network control is considered. A constructive approach to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation is developed which is based on an appropriate family of extremals, including boundary extremals for which the Skorokhod dynamics are active. A number of technical lemmas and a structured verification theorem...

Comparison of linear control methods for an AMB system

Wojciech Grega, Adam Pilat (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The contactless nature of active magnetic bearings brings about many advantages over the conventional bearing while industrial real-time applications are often limited by the significant complexity of control algorithms. This paper presents the application of an LQ controller to an active magnetic bearing system (AMB). Two control strategies are presented and compared: local and global. In the first case the rotor is modelled as two separated masses located at the bearing. In the second case rotor...

Computation of realizations composed of dynamic and static parts of improper transfer matrices

Tadeusz Kaczorek (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The problem of computing minimal realizations of a singular system decomposed into a standard dynamical system and a static system of a given improper transfer matrix is formulated and solved. A new notion of the minimal dynamical-static realization is introduced. It is shown that there always exists a minimal dynamical-static realization of a given improper transfer matrix. A procedure for the computation of a minimal dynamical-static realization for a given improper transfer matrix is proposed...

Constrained robust adaptive stabilization for a class of lower triangular systems with unknown control direction

Jianglin Lan, Weijie Sun, Yunjian Peng (2014)

Kybernetika

This paper studies the constrained robust adaptive stabilization problem for a class of lower triangular systems with unknown control direction. A robust adaptive feedback control law for the systems is proposed by incorporating the technique of Barrier Lyapunov Function with Nussbaum gain. Such a controlled system arises from the study of the constrained robust output regulation problem for a class of output feedback systems with the unknown control direction and a nonlinear exosystem. An application...

Construction of algebraic and difference equations with a prescribed solution space

Lazaros Moysis, Nicholas P. Karampetakis (2017)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper studies the solution space of systems of algebraic and difference equations, given as auto-regressive (AR) representations A(σ)β(k) = 0, where σ denotes the shift forward operator and A(σ) is a regular polynomial matrix. The solution space of such systems consists of forward and backward propagating solutions, over a finite time horizon. This solution space can be constructed from knowledge of the finite and infinite elementary divisor structure of A(σ). This work deals with the inverse...
