Smooth homogeneous asymptotically stabilizing feedback controls

H. Hermes (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

If a smooth nonlinear affine control system has a controllable linear approximation, a standard technique for constructing a smooth (linear) asymptotically stabilizing feedbackcontrol is via the LQR (linear, quadratic, regulator) method. The nonlinear system may not have a controllable linear approximation, but instead may be shown to be small (or large) time locally controllable via a high order, homogeneous approximation. In this case one can attempt to construct an asymptotically...

Homogeneous approximations and local observer design

Tomas Ménard, Emmanuel Moulay, Wilfrid Perruquetti (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the construction of local observers for nonlinear systems without inputs, satisfying an observability rank condition. The aim of this study is, first, to define an homogeneous approximation that keeps the observability property unchanged at the origin. This approximation is further used in the synthesis of a local observer which is proven to be locally convergent for Lyapunov-stable systems. We compare the performance of the homogeneous approximation observer...

A locking-free finite element method for the buckling problem of a non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam

Carlo Lovadina, David Mora, Rodolfo Rodríguez (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to develop a finite element method which allows computing the buckling coefficients and modes of a non-homogeneous Timoshenko beam. Studying the spectral properties of a non-compact operator, we show that the relevant buckling coefficients correspond to isolated eigenvalues of finite multiplicity. Optimal order error estimates are proved for the eigenfunctions as well as a double order of convergence for the eigenvalues using classical abstract spectral approximation...
