Categorical approach to nonlinear constant continuous-time systems
This paper presents an algebraic design theory for interconnected systems. Usual multivariable linear systems are described in a unified way. Both square and nonsquare plants and controllers are included in the study and an easy characterization of the achievable I/O (input-to-output) and D/O (disturbance-to-output) maps is presented through the use of appropriate controllers. Sufficient conditions of stability are given.
We seek to classify the full-rank left-invariant control affine systems evolving on solvable three-dimensional Lie groups. In this paper we consider only the cases corresponding to the solvable Lie algebras of types II, IV, and V in the Bianchi-Behr classification.
Interpretations of most existing controllability and observability notions for linear delay systems are given. Module theoretic characterizations are presented. This setting enables a clear and precise comparison of the various examined notions. A new notion of controllability is introduced, which is called pi-freeness.
Nous introduisons pour les systèmes linéaires constants les reconstructeurs intégraux et les correcteurs proportionnels-intégraux généralisés, qui permettent d’éviter le terme dérivé du PID classique et, plus généralement, les observateurs asymptotiques usuels. Notre approche, de nature essentiellement algébrique, fait appel à la théorie des modules et au calcul opérationnel de Mikusiński. Plusieurs exemples sont examinés.
For constant linear systems we are introducing integral reconstructors and generalized proportional-integral controllers, which permit to bypass the derivative term in the classic PID controllers and more generally the usual asymptotic observers. Our approach, which is mainly of algebraic flavour, is based on the module-theoretic framework for linear systems and on operational calculus in Mikusiński's setting. Several examples are discussed.
