Patchy vector fields and asymptotic stabilization
Patchy Vector Fields and Asymptotic Stabilization
This paper is concerned with the structure of asymptotically stabilizing feedbacks for a nonlinear control system on . We first introduce a family of discontinuous, piecewise smooth vector fields and derive a number of properties enjoyed by solutions of the corresponding O.D.E's. We then define a class of “patchy feedbacks” which are obtained by patching together a locally finite family of smooth controls. Our main result shows that, if a system is asymptotically controllable at the origin,...
Patterns and Waves Generated by a Subcritical Instability in Systems with a Conservation Law under the Action of a Global Feedback Control
A global feedback control of a system that exhibits a subcritical monotonic instability at a non-zero wavenumber (short-wave, or Turing instability) in the presence of a zero mode is investigated using a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to an equation for the zero mode. The method based on a variational principle is applied for the derivation of a low-dimensional evolution model. In the framework of this model the investigation of the system’s dynamics...

Positivity and stabilization of 2D linear systems
The problem of finding a gain matrix of the state-feedback of 2D linear system such that the closed-loop system is positive and asymptotically stable is formulated and solved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the problem are established. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to suitable linear programming problem. The proposed approach can be extended to 2D linear system described by the 2D Roesser model.
Positivity and stabilization of fractional 2D linear systems described by the Roesser model
A new class of fractional 2D linear discrete-time systems is introduced. The fractional difference definition is applied to each dimension of a 2D Roesser model. Solutions of these systems are derived using a 2D Z-transform. The classical Cayley-Hamilton theorem is extended to 2D fractional systems described by the Roesser model. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the positivity and stabilization by the state-feedback of fractional 2D linear systems are established. A procedure for the computation...
Proper feedback compensators for a strictly proper plant by polynomial equations
We review the polynomial matrix compensator equation X_lD_r + Y_lN_r = Dk (COMP), e.g. (Callier and Desoer, 1982, Kučera, 1979; 1991), where (a) the right-coprime polynomial matrix pair (N_r, D_r) is given by the strictly proper rational plant right matrix-fraction P = N_rD_r, (b) Dk is a given nonsingular stable closed-loop characteristic polynomial matrix, and (c) (X_l, Y_l) is a polynomial matrix solution pair resulting possibly in a (stabilizing) rational compensator given by the left fraction...
Receding horizon optimal control for infinite dimensional systems
The receding horizon control strategy for dynamical systems posed in infinite dimensional spaces is analysed. Its stabilising property is verified provided control Lyapunov functionals are used as terminal penalty functions. For closed loop dissipative systems the terminal penalty can be chosen as quadratic functional. Applications to the Navier–Stokes equations, semilinear wave equations and reaction diffusion systems are given.

Remark on stabilization of tree-shaped networks of strings
We consider a tree-shaped network of vibrating elastic strings, with feedback acting on the root of the tree. Using the d’Alembert representation formula, we show that the input-output map is bounded, i.e. this system is a well-posed system in the sense of G. Weiss (Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 342 (1994), 827–854). As a consequence we prove that the strings networks are not exponentially stable in the energy space. Moreover, we give explicit polynomial decay estimates valid for regular initial data.
Reproducing kernels and Riccati equations
The purpose of this paper is to exhibit a connection between the Hermitian solutions of matrix Riccati equations and a class of finite dimensional reproducing kernel Krein spaces. This connection is then exploited to obtain minimal factorizations of rational matrix valued functions that are J-unitary on the imaginary axis in a natural way.
Resolvent estimates in controllability theory and applications to the discrete wave equation
We briefly present the difficulties arising when dealing with the controllability of the discrete wave equation, which are, roughly speaking, created by high-frequency spurious waves which do not travel. It is by now well-understood that such spurious waves can be dealt with by applying some convenient filtering technique. However, the scale of frequency in which we can guarantee that none of these non-traveling waves appears is still unknown in general. Though, using Hautus tests, which read the...
Riesz basis generation, eigenvalues distribution, and exponential stability for a Euler-Bernoulli beam with joint feedback control.
Using an abstract result on Riesz basis generation for discrete operators in general Hilbert spaces, we show, in this article, that the generalized eigenfunctions of an Euler-Bernoulli beam equation with joint linear feedback control form a Riesz basis for the state space. The spectrum-determined growth condition is hence obtained. Meanwhile, the exponential stability as well as the asymptotic expansion of eigenvalues are also readily obtained by a straightforward computation.
Robust control of chaos in modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model under external electrical stimulation based on internal model principle
This paper treats the question of robust control of chaos in modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model under external electrical stimulation based on internal model principle. We first present the solution of the global robust output regulation problem for output feedback system with nonlinear exosystem. Then we show that the robust control problem for the modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model can be formulated as the global robust output regulation problem and the solvability conditions for the output...
Robust controller design for linear polytopic systems
The paper addresses the problem of the robust output feedback controller design with a guaranteed cost and parameter dependent Lyapunov function for linear continuous time polytopic systems. Two design methods based on improved robust stability conditions are proposed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The obtained results are compared with other three design procedures.
Robust observer-based finite-time control designs for discrete nonlinear systems with time-varying delay
This paper investigates the problem of observer-based finite-time control for the uncertain discrete-time systems with nonlinear perturbations and time-varying delay. The Luenberger observer is designed to measure the system state. The observer-based controller is constructed. By constructing an appropriated Lyapunov-.Krasovskii functional, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the resulting closed-loop system is finite-time bounded via observer-based control. The observer-based controller...
Robust optimal PID controller design for attitude stabilization of flexible spacecraft
This paper presents a novel robust optimal control approach for attitude stabilization of a flexible spacecraft in the presence of external disturbances. An optimal control law is formulated by using concepts of inverse optimal control, proportional-integral-derivative control and a control Lyapunov function. A modified extended state observer is used to compensate for the total disturbances. High-gain and second order sliding mode algorithms are merged to obtain the proposed modified extended state...
Robust prevention of limit cycles for robustly decoupled car steering dynamics
Considerable safety benefits are achieved by robustly decoupling the lateral and yaw motions of a car with active steering. Robust unilateral decoupling requires an actuator to generate an additional front wheel steering angle. However, introducing actuators to closed loop systems may cause limit cycles due to actuator saturation and rate limits. Such limit cycles are intolerable w.r.t. safety and comfort. By introducing a simple nonlinear modification of the control law, this paper proposes a remedy...
