The geometry of Darlington synthesis (in memory of W. Cauer)

Patrick Dewilde (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We revisit the classical problem of 'Darlington synthesis', or Darlington embedding. Although traditionally it is solved using analytic means, a more natural way to approach it is to use the geometric properties of a well-chosen Hankel map. The method yields surprising results. In the first place, it allows us to formulate necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the embedding in terms of systems properties of the transfer operation to be embedded. In addition, the approach allows...

The technique of splitting operators in perturbation control theory

Michail M. Konstantinov, Petko Hr. Petkov, Nikolaĭ D. Hristov (2005)

Kybernetika

The paper presents the technique of splitting operators, intended for perturbation analysis of control problems involving unitary matrices. Combined with the technique of Lyapunov majorants and the application of the Banach or Schauder fixed point principles, it allows to obtain rigorous non-local perturbation bounds for a set of sensitivity analysis problems. Among them are the reduction of linear systems into orthogonal canonical forms, the general feedback synthesis problem, and the pole assignment...

Time-variant Darlington synthesis and induced realizations

Derk Pik (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

For a block lower triangular contraction T, necessary and sufficient conditions are given in order that there exist block lower triangular contractions T_{1,1}, T_{2,1} and T_{2,2} such that T_{1,1} T U_T = [ ] T_{2,1} T_{2,2} is unitary. For the case when T^*_{1,1} and T_{2,2} have dense ranges, all such embeddings are described. Each unitary embedding of UT induces a contractive realization of T , and various properties of this realization are characterized in terms of the unitary embedding.

Tracking with prescribed transient behaviour

Achim Ilchmann, E. P. Ryan, C. J. Sangwin (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Universal tracking control is investigated in the context of a class 𝒮 of M -input, M -output dynamical systems modelled by functional differential equations. The class encompasses a wide variety of nonlinear and infinite-dimensional systems and contains – as a prototype subclass – all finite-dimensional linear single-input single-output minimum-phase systems with positive high-frequency gain. The control objective is to ensure that, for an arbitrary M -valued reference signal r of class W 1 , (absolutely...

Tracking with prescribed transient behaviour

Achim Ilchmann, E. P. Ryan, C. J. Sangwin (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Universal tracking control is investigated in the context of a class S of M-input, M-output dynamical systems modelled by functional differential equations. The class encompasses a wide variety of nonlinear and infinite-dimensional systems and contains – as a prototype subclass – all finite-dimensional linear single-input single-output minimum-phase systems with positive high-frequency gain. The control objective is to ensure that, for an arbitrary M -valued reference signal r of class W1,∞ (absolutely...

Well-posedness and regularity of hyperbolic boundary control systems on a one-dimensional spatial domain

Hans Zwart, Yann Le Gorrec, Bernhard Maschke, Javier Villegas (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study a class of hyperbolic partial differential equations on a one dimensional spatial domain with control and observation at the boundary. Using the idea of feedback we show these systems are well-posed in the sense of Weiss and Salamon if and only if the state operator generates a C0-semigroup. Furthermore, we show that the corresponding transfer function is regular, i.e., has a limit for s going to infinity.
