Methods for robust controller design, are an invaluable tool in the hands of the control engineer. Several methodologies been developed over the years and have been successfully applied for the solution of specific robust design problems. One of these methods, is based on the Finite Inclusions Theorem (FIT) and exploits properties of polynomials. This has led to the development of FIT-based algorithms for robust stabilization, robust asymptotic tracking and robust noise attenuation design. In this...
This paper describes a new approach, the HeKatE methodology, to the design and development of complex rule-based systems for control and decision support. The main paradigm for rule representation, namely, eXtended Tabular Trees (XTT), ensures high density and transparency of visual knowledge representation. Contrary to traditional, flat rule-based systems, the XTT approach is focused on groups of similar rules rather than on single rules. Such groups form decision tables which are connected into...
The tracking and regulation problem is considered for a class of generalized systems, in case of exponential reference signals and of disturbance functions. First, the notions of steady-state response and of blocking zero, which are classical for linear time-invariant systems, are given for generalized systems. Then, the tracking and regulation problem is stated and solved for the class of generalized systems under consideration, giving a general design procedure. As a corollary of the effectiveness...
Universal tracking control is investigated in the context of a class of -input, -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 -valued reference signal of class (absolutely...

Sliding mode is used in order to retain a dynamic system accurately at a given constraint and features theoretically-infinite-frequency switching. Standard sliding modes are known to feature finite time convergence, precise keeping of the constraint and robustness with respect to internal and external disturbances. Having generalized the notion of sliding mode, higher order sliding modes preserve or generalize its main properties, improve its precision with discrete measurements and remove the chattering...
This paper considers the problem of designing near-optimal finite-dimensional controllers for stable multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) distributed parameter plants under sampled-data control. A weighted -style mixed-sensitivity measure which penalizes the control is used to define the notion of optimality. Controllers are generated by solving a “natural” finite-dimensional sampled-data optimization. A priori computable conditions are given on the approximants such that the resulting finite-...
