On the null-controllability of diffusion equations

Gérald Tenenbaum, Marius Tucsnak (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This work studies the null-controllability of a class of abstract parabolic equations. The main contribution in the general case consists in giving a short proof of an abstract version of a sufficient condition for null-controllability which has been proposed by Lebeau and Robbiano. We do not assume that the control operator is admissible. Moreover, we give estimates of the control cost. In the special case of the heat equation in rectangular domains, we provide an alternative way to check...

On the observability of fuzzy second order control systems

Jong Yeoul Park, P. Balasubramaniam, Hyun Min Kim (2003)

Kybernetika

In this paper, the observability of fuzzy logic second order control system is studied from the aspect of fuzzy differential equations. The fuzzy observability in the weak sense is created using the concept of “likelihood” to indicate on which level and along which solution the state is most likely observable. One of the initial state range has been derived with the given input and output. The result generalizes the previous results.

On the state observation and stability for uncertain nonlinear systems

Mohamed Ali Hammami (2000)

Kybernetika

In this paper, we treat the class of nonlinear uncertain dynamic systems that was considered in [3,2,1,4]. We consider continuous-time dynamical systems whose nominal part is linear and whose uncertain part is norm-bounded. We study the problems of state observation and obtaining stabilizing controller for uncertain nonlinear systems, where the uncertainties are characterized by known bounds.

Optimal control of linear stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces and uniform observability

Viorica Mariela Ungureanu (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we study the existence of the optimal (minimizing) control for a tracking problem, as well as a quadratic cost problem subject to linear stochastic evolution equations with unbounded coefficients in the drift. The backward differential Riccati equation (BDRE) associated with these problems (see [chen], for finite dimensional stochastic equations or [UC], for infinite dimensional equations with bounded coefficients) is in general different from the conventional BDRE (see [1990], [ukl])....

Optimal observability of the multi-dimensional wave and Schrödinger equations in quantum ergodic domains

Yannick Privat, Emmanuel Trélat, Enrique Zuazua (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the wave and Schrödinger equations on a bounded open connected subset Ω of a Riemannian manifold, with Dirichlet, Neumann or Robin boundary conditions whenever its boundary is nonempty. We observe the restriction of the solutions to a measurable subset ω of Ω during a time interval [ 0 , T ] with T > 0 . It is well known that, if the pair ( ω , T ) satisfies the Geometric Control Condition ( ω being an open set), then an observability inequality holds guaranteeing that the total energy of solutions can be...

Optimization of the shape and the location of the actuators in an internal control problem

Antoine Henrot, Hervé Maillot (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Consideriamo un corpo Ω sottomesso ad una forza esterna data e del quale vogliamo controllare lo spostamento. Cerchiamo un rinforzo per minimizzare un funzionale che dipende dallo spostamento del corpo. L'insieme delle configurazioni ammissibili è un insieme di funzioni caratteristiche di sottodomini (un rinforzo ammissibile è un sottodominio con una rigidezza uguale ad uno) di volume prescritto. In tal caso, si ha bisogno di una versione rilassata del problema di ottimizzazione e si cerca una densità...

Polynomial systems theory applied to the analysis and design of multidimensional systems

Jari Hatonen, Raimo Ylinen (2003)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The use of a principal ideal domain structure for the analysis and design of multidimensional systems is discussed. As a first step it is shown that a lattice structure can be introduced for IO-relations generated by polynomial matrices in a signal space X (an Abelian group). It is assumed that the matrices take values in a polynomial ring F[p] where F is a field such that F[p] is a commutative subring of the ring of endomorphisms of X. After that it is analysed when a given F[p] acting on X can...

Positive 2D discrete-time linear Lyapunov systems

Przemysław Przyborowski, Tadeusz Kaczorek (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Two models of positive 2D discrete-time linear Lyapunov systems are introduced. For both the models necessary and sufficient conditions for positivity, asymptotic stability, reachability and observability are established. The discussion is illustrated with numerical examples.

Powerful nonlinear observer associated with field-oriented control of an induction motor

Abdellah Mansouri, Mohammed Chenafa, Abderrahmane Bouhenna, Eric Etien (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper, we associate field-oriented control with a powerful nonlinear robust flux observer for an induction motor to show the improvement made by this observer compared with the open-loop and classical estimator used in this type of control. We implement this design strategy through an extension of a special class of nonlinear multivariable systems satisfying some regularity assumptions. We show by an extensive study that this observer is completely satisfactory at low and nominal speeds...

Quadratic functionals: positivity, oscillation, Rayleigh's principle

Werner Kratz (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we give a survey on the theory of quadratic functionals. Particularly the relationships between positive definiteness and the asymptotic behaviour of Riccati matrix differential equations, and between the oscillation properties of linear Hamiltonian systems and Rayleigh’s principle are demonstrated. Moreover, the main tools form control theory (as e.g. characterization of strong observability), from the calculus of variations (as e.g. field theory and Picone’s identity), and from matrix...

Rational semimodules over the max-plus semiring and geometric approach to discrete event systems

Stéphane Gaubert, Ricardo Katz (2004)

Kybernetika

We introduce rational semimodules over semirings whose addition is idempotent, like the max-plus semiring, in order to extend the geometric approach of linear control to discrete event systems. We say that a subsemimodule of the free semimodule 𝒮 n over a semiring 𝒮 is rational if it has a generating family that is a rational subset of 𝒮 n , 𝒮 n being thought of as a monoid under the entrywise product. We show that for various semirings of max-plus type whose elements are integers, rational semimodules...

Reachability and observability of linear systems over max-plus

Michael J. Gazarik, Edward W. Kamen (1999)

Kybernetika

This paper discusses the properties of reachability and observability for linear systems over the max-plus algebra. Working in the event-domain, the concept of asticity is used to develop conditions for weak reachability and weak observability. In the reachability problem, residuation is used to determine if a state is reachable and to generate the required control sequence to reach it. In the observability problem, residuation is used to estimate the state. Finally, as in the continuous-variable...
