High-Order Control Variations and Small-Time Local Controllability

Krastanov, Mikhail (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

The importance of “control variations” for obtaining local approximations of the reachable set of nonlinear control systems is well known. Heuristically, if one can construct control variations in all possible directions, then the considered control system is small-time locally controllable (STLC). Two concepts of control variations of higher order are introduced for the case of smooth control systems. The relation between these variations and the small-time local controllability is...

Controllability of nonlinear PDE’s: Agrachev–Sarychev approach

Armen Shirikyan (2007)

Journées Équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

This short note is devoted to a discussion of a general approach to controllability of PDE’s introduced by Agrachev and Sarychev in 2005. We use the example of a 1D Burgers equation to illustrate the main ideas. It is proved that the problem in question is controllable in an appropriate sense by a two-dimensional external force. This result is not new and was proved earlier in the papers [, ] in a more complicated situation of 2D Navier–Stokes equations.

Forward invariant sets, homogeneity and small-time local controllability

Mikhail Krastanov (1995)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The property of forward invariance of a subset of R n with respect to a differential inclusion is characterized by using the notion of a perpendicular to a set. The obtained results are applied for investigating the dependence of the small-time local controllability of a homogeneous control system on parameters.

Stabilization of a 1-D tank modeled by the shallow water equations

Christophe Prieur, Jonathan de Halleux (2002)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

Similarity:

We consider a tank containing a fluid. The tank is subjected to a one-dimensional horizontal move and the motion of the fluid is described by the shallow water equations. By means of a Lyapunov approach, we deduce control laws to stabilize the fluid's state and the tank's position. Although global asymptotic stability is yet to be proved, we numerically simulate the system and observe the stabilization for different control situations.

An Invariance Problem for Control Systems with Deterministic Uncertainty

Lech Górniewicz, Paolo Nistri (1996)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

This paper deals with a class of nonlinear control systems in R n in presence of deterministic uncertainty. The uncertainty is modelled by a multivalued map F with nonempty, closed, convex values. Given a nonempty closed set K R n from a suitable class, which includes the convex sets, we solve the problem of finding a state feedback ū(t,x) in such a way that K is invariant under any system dynamics f. As a system dynamics we consider any continuous selection of the uncertain controlled dynamics...
