Delay-dependent asymptotic stabilitzation for uncertain time-delay systems with saturating actuators
This paper concerns the issue of robust asymptotic stabilization for uncertain time-delay systems with saturating actuators. Delay-dependent criteria for robust stabilization via linear memoryless state feedback have been obtained. The resulting upper bound on the delay time is given in terms of the solution to a Riccati equation subject to model transformation. Finally, examples are presented to show the effectiveness of our result.
Derivation of effective transfer function models by input, output variables selection
Transfer function models used for early stages of design are large dimension models containing all possible physical inputs, outputs. Such models may be badly conditioned and possibly degenerate. The problem considered here is the selection of maximal cardinality subsets of the physical input, output sets, such as the resulting model is nondegenerate and satisfies additional properties such as controllability and observability and avoids the existence of high order infinite zeros. This problem is...
Design of a model following control system for nonlinear descriptor system in discrete time
A model following control system (MFCS) can output general signals following the desired ones.

Design of Fractional Order Digital Differentiators and Integrators Using Indirect Discretization
Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 93B51, 93C95In this paper, design of fractional order digital differentiators and integrators using indirect discretization is presented. The proposed approach is based on using continued fraction expansion to find the rational approximation of the fractional order operator, s^α. The rational approximation thus obtained is discretized by using s to z transforms. The proposed approach is tested for differentiators and integrators of orders 1/4 and 1/2. The...
Design of linear feedback for bilinear control systems
Sufficient conditions for the conditional stability of trivial solutions for quadratic systems of ordinary differential equations are obtained. These conditions are then used to design linear control laws on the output for a bilinear system of any order. In the case of a homogeneous system, a domain of the conditional stability is also indicated (it is a cone). Some examples are given.
Design of predictive LQ controller
A single variable controller is developed in the predictive control framework based upon minimisation of the LQ criterion with infinite output and control horizons. The infinite version of the predictive cost function results in better stability properties of the controller and still enables to incorporate constraints into the control design. The constrained controller consists of two parts: time-invariant nominal LQ controller and time-variant part given by Youla–Kučera parametrisation of all stabilising...
Design of the state predictive model following control system with time-delay
Time-delay systems exist in many engineering fields such as transportation systems, communication systems, process engineering and, more recently, networked control systems. It usually results in unsatisfactory performance and is frequently a source of instability, so the control of time-delay systems is practically important. In this paper, a design of the state predictive model following control system (PMFCS) with time-delay is discussed. The bounded property of the internal states for the control...
Designing a ship course controller by applying the adaptive backstepping method
The article discusses the problem of designing a proper and efficient adaptive course-keeping control system for a seagoing ship based on the adaptive backstepping method. The proposed controller in the design stage takes into account the dynamic properties of the steering gear and the full nonlinear static maneuvering characteristic. The adjustable parameters of the achieved nonlinear control structure were tuned up by using the genetic algorithm in order to optimize the system performance. A realistic...

Discrete-time predictive control with overparameterized delay-plant models and an identified cancellation order
The paper presents several solutions to the discrete-time generalized predictive (GPC) controller problem, including an anticipative filtration mechanism, which are suitable for plants with nonzero transportation delays. Necessary modifications of the GPC design procedure required for controlling plants based on their non-minimal models are discussed in detail. Although inevitably invoking the troublesome pole-zero cancellation problem, such models can be used in adaptive systems as a remedy for...

Fault-tolerant pitch-rate control augmentation system design for asymmetric elevator failures in a combat plane
Combat planes are designed in a structured relaxed static stability to meet maneuver requirements. These planes are unstable in the longitudinal axis and require continuous active control systems with elevator control. Therefore, failures in the elevator can have vital consequences for flight safety. In this work, the performance of classical control approach against asymmetric elevator failures is investigated and it is shown that this approach is insufficient in the case of such a failure. Then,...
Feedback linearization idle-speed control: design and experiments
This paper proposes a novel nonlinear control algorithm for idle-speed control of a gasoline engine. This controller is based on the feedback linearization approach and extends this technique to the special structure and specifications of the idle-speed problem. Special static precompensations and cascaded loops are used to achieve the desired bandwidth separation between the fast spark and slow air-bypass action. A key element is the inclusion of the (engine-speed dependent) induction to power...

Fuzzy logic gain scheduling for non-linear servo tracking
This paper proposes the use of gain scheduling as a method of controlling a servo system with hard non-linear elements. The servo controls two elements of a tracker mounted on a ship at sea. There is stiction at the zero velocity point and non-linear friction against the motion of each tracker axis. A dual feedback loop control structure is employed. Fuzzy logic is used to provide smoothly varying non-linear scheduling functions to map the velocity of the servo relevant to the deck of the ship onto...
