Tracking performance of ‘’ integral-plus-time constant plants with ’one’ controller
Tracking through singularities using sliding mode differentiators
In this work, an alternative solution to the tracking problem for a SISO nonlinear dynamical system exhibiting points of singularity is given. An inversion-based controller is synthesized using the Fliess generalized observability canonical form associated to the system. This form depends on the input and its derivatives. For this purpose, a robust exact differentiator is used for estimating the control derivatives signals with the aim of defining a control law depending on such control derivative...
Tracking with prescribed transient behaviour
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...
Tracking with prescribed transient behaviour
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 -valued reference signal r of class W1,∞ (absolutely...

Trajectory tracking control for nonlinear time-delay systems
The reference trajectory tracking problem is considered in this paper and (constructive) sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a causal state feedback solution. The main result is introduced as a byproduct of input-output feedback linearization.
Transfer function computation for 3-D discrete systems
A theoretically attractive and computationally fast algorithm is presented for the determination of the coefficients of the determinantal polynomial and the coefficients of the adjoint polynomial matrix of a given three-dimensional (3–D) state space model of Fornasini–Marchesini type. The algorithm uses the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) and can be easily implemented on a digital computer.
Transfer function equivalence of feedback/feedforward compensators
Equivalence of several feedback and/or feedforward compensation schemes in linear systems is investigated. The classes of compensators that are realizable using static or dynamic, state or output feedback are characterized. Stability of the compensated system is studied. Applications to model matching are included.
Transformation of nonlinear state equations into the observer form: Necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of one-forms
Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the existence of state and output transformations, that bring single-input single-output nonlinear state equations into the observer form. The conditions are formulated in terms of differential one-forms, associated with an input-output equation of the system. An algorithm for transformation of the state equations into the observer form is presented and illustrated by an example.
Transformation of optimal control problems of descriptor systems into problems with state-space systems
We show how we can transform the and control problems of descriptor systems with invariant zeros on the extended imaginary into problems with state-space systems without such zeros. Then we present necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of solutions of the original problems. Numerical algorithm for control is given, based on the Nevanlinna-Pick theorem. Also, we present an explicit formula for the optimal controller.

Two observer-based tracking algorithms for a unicycle mobile robot
A trajectory tracking problem for the three-dimensional kinematic model of a unicycle-type mobile robot is considered. It is assumed that only two of the tracking error coordinates are measurable. By means of cascaded systems theory we develop observers for each of the error coordinates and show the K-exponential convergence of the tracking error in combined closed-loop observer-controller systems. The results are illustrated with computer simulations.
