Robust Feedback Control Design for a Nonlinear Wastewater Treatment Model

M. Serhani, N. Raissi, P. Cartigny (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

In this work we deal with the design of the robust feedback control of wastewater treatment system, namely the activated sludge process. This problem is formulated by a nonlinear ordinary differential system. On one hand, we develop a robust analysis when the specific growth function of the bacterium is not well known. On the other hand, when also the substrate concentration in the feed stream is unknown, we provide an observer of system and propose a design of robust...

Exponential stabilization of nonlinear driftless systems with robustness to unmodeled dynamics

Pascal Morin, Claude Samson (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Exponential stabilization of nonlinear driftless affine control systems is addressed with the concern of achieving robustness with respect to imperfect knowledge of the system's control vector fields. In order to satisfy this robustness requirement, and inspired by Bennani and Rouchon [1] where the same issue was first addressed, we consider a control strategy which consists in applying periodically updated open-loop controls that are continuous with respect to state initial conditions....

Feedback in state constrained optimal control

Francis H. Clarke, Ludovic Rifford, R. J. Stern (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

An optimal control problem is studied, in which the state is required to remain in a compact set . A control feedback law is constructed which, for given ε > 0, produces -optimal trajectories that satisfy the state constraint universally with respect to all initial conditions in . The construction relies upon a constraint removal technique which utilizes geometric properties of inner approximations of and a related trajectory tracking result. The control feedback is shown to possess...

Absolute stability results for well-posed infinite-dimensional systems with applications to low-gain integral control

Hartmut Logemann, Ruth F. Curtain (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We derive absolute stability results for well-posed infinite-dimensional systems which, in a sense, extend the well-known circle criterion to the case that the underlying linear system is the series interconnection of an exponentially stable well-posed infinite-dimensional system and an integrator and the nonlinearity satisfies a sector condition of the form () ≤ 0 for some constant . These results are used to prove convergence and stability properties of low-gain integral feedback...
