On motions with bursting characters for Lagrangian mechanical systems with a scalar control. I. Existence of a wide class of Lagrangian systems capable of motions with bursting characters

Aldo Bressan, Marco Favretti (1991)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this Note (which will be followed by a second) we consider a Lagrangian system Σ (possibly without any Lagrangian function) referred to N + 1 coordinates q 1 , q N , u , with u to be used as a control, and precisely to add to Σ a frictionless constraint of the type u = u t . Let Σ 's (frictionless) constraints be represented by the manifold V t generally moving in Hertz's space. We also consider an instant d (to be used for certain limit discontinuity-properties), a point q ¯ , u ¯ of V d , a value p ¯ for Σ 's momentum conjugate...

On nonlinear equivalence and backstepping observer

J. de Leon, I. Souleiman, Alain Glumineau, G. Schreier (2001)

Kybernetika

An observer design based on backstepping approach for a class of state affine systems is proposed. This class of nonlinear systems is determined via a constructive algorithm applied to a general nonlinear Multi Input–Multi Output systems. Some examples are given in order to illustrate the proposed methodology.

On one algorithm for solving the problem of source function reconstruction

Vyacheslav Maksimov (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In the paper, the problem of source function reconstruction in a differential equation of the parabolic type is investigated. Using the semigroup representation of trajectories of dynamical systems, we build a finite-step iterative procedure for solving this problem. The algorithm originates from the theory of closed-loop control (the method of extremal shift). At every step of the algorithm, the sum of a quality criterion and a linear penalty term is minimized. This procedure is robust to perturbations...

On path following control of nonholonomic mobile manipulators

Alicja Mazur, Dawid Szakiel (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper describes the problem of designing control laws for path following robots, including two types of nonholonomic mobile manipulators. Due to a cascade structure of the motion equation, a backstepping procedure is used to achieve motion along a desired path. The control algorithm consists of two simultaneously working controllers: the kinematic controller, solving motion constraints, and the dynamic controller, preserving an appropriate coordination between both subsystems of a mobile manipulator,...

On periodic oscillations for a class of feedback control systems in Hilbert spaces

Nguyen Van Loi (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, by using the topological degree theory for multivalued maps and the method of guiding functions in Hilbert spaces we deal with the existence of periodic oscillations for a class of feedback control systems in Hilbert spaces.

On some geometric control properties of active suspensions systems

Domenico Prattichizzo, Paolo Mercorelli (2000)

Kybernetika

The geometric control properties of vehicles with active suspensions are analyzed. A special attention is devoted to the problem of disturbance decoupling. Active suspensions of advanced vehicles allow the active rejection of external disturbances exerted on the sprung mass of the vehicle and caused by road surface irregularity. We focus on the road irregularity disturbances with the purpose of isolating the chassis from vibrations transmitted through suspensions. The paper is aimed at the synthesis...
