Reconfigurable control design with integration of a reference governor and reliability indicators

Philippe Weber, Boumedyen Boussaid, Ahmed Khelassi, Christophe Aubrun (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A new approach to manage actuator redundancy in the presence of faults is proposed based on reliability indicators and a reference governor. The aim is to preserve the health of the actuators and the availability of the system both in the nominal behavior and in the presence of actuator faults. The use of reference governor control allocation is a solution to distribute the control efforts among a redundant set of actuators. In a degraded situation, a reconfigured control allocation strategy is...

Rectifiability and perimeter in step 2 Groups

Bruno Franchi, Raul Serapioni, Francesco Serra Cassano (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study finite perimeter sets in step 2 Carnot groups. In this way we extend the classical De Giorgi’s theory, developed in Euclidean spaces by De Giorgi, as well as its generalization, considered by the authors, in Heisenberg groups. A structure theorem for sets of finite perimeter and consequently a divergence theorem are obtained. Full proofs of these results, comments and an exhaustive bibliography can be found in our preprint (2001).

Recursive form of general limited memory variable metric methods

Ladislav Lukšan, Jan Vlček (2013)

Kybernetika

In this report we propose a new recursive matrix formulation of limited memory variable metric methods. This approach can be used for an arbitrary update from the Broyden class (and some other updates) and also for the approximation of both the Hessian matrix and its inverse. The new recursive formulation requires approximately 4 m n multiplications and additions per iteration, so it is comparable with other efficient limited memory variable metric methods. Numerical experiments concerning Algorithm...

Reduction by group symmetry of second order variational problems on a semidirect product of Lie groups with positive definite riemannian metric

Claudio Altafini (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

For a riemannian structure on a semidirect product of Lie groups, the variational problems can be reduced using the group symmetry. Choosing the Levi-Civita connection of a positive definite metric tensor, instead of any of the canonical connections for the Lie group, simplifies the reduction of the variations but complicates the expression for the Lie algebra valued covariant derivatives. The origin of the discrepancy is in the semidirect product structure, which implies that the riemannian exponential...

Regional control problem for distributed bilinear systems: Approach and simulations

Karima Ztot, El Hassan Zerrik, Hamid Bourray (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper investigates the regional control problem for infinite dimensional bilinear systems. We develop an approach that characterizes the optimal control and leads to a numerical algorithm. The obtained results are successfully illustrated by simulations.

Regular mappings between dimensions

Guy David, Stephen Semmes (2000)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The notions of Lipschitz and bilipschitz mappings provide classes of mappings connected to the geometry of metric spaces in certain ways. A notion between these two is given by regular mappings (reviewed in Section 1), in which some non-bilipschitz behavior is allowed, but with limitations on this, and in a quantitative way. In this paper we look at a class of mappings called (s, t)-regular mappings. These mappings are the same as ordinary regular mappings when s = t, but otherwise they behave somewhat...

Regular syntheses and solutions to discontinuous ODEs

Alessia Marigo, Benedetto Piccoli (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we analyze several concepts of solution to discontinuous ODEs in relation to feedbacks generated by optimal syntheses. Optimal trajectories are called Stratified Solutions in case of regular synthesis in the sense of Boltyanskii–Brunovsky. We introduce a concept of solution called Krasowskii Cone Robust that characterizes optimal trajectories for minimum time on the plane and for general problems under suitable assumptions.
