Realization theory for linear and bilinear switched systems: A formal power series approach

Mihály Petreczky (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The paper represents the first part of a series of papers on realization theory of switched systems. Part I presents realization theory of linear switched systems, Part II presents realization theory of bilinear switched systems. More precisely, in Part I necessary and sufficient conditions are formulated for a family of input-output maps to be realizable by a linear switched system and a characterization of minimal realizations is presented. The paper treats two types of switched systems. The...

Realization theory methods for the stability investigation of nonlinear infinite-dimensional input-output systems

Volker Reitmann (2011)

Mathematica Bohemica

Realization theory for linear input-output operators and frequency-domain methods for the solvability of Riccati operator equations are used for the stability and instability investigation of a class of nonlinear Volterra integral equations in a Hilbert space. The key idea is to consider, similar to the Volterra equation, a time-invariant control system generated by an abstract ODE in a weighted Sobolev space, which has the same stability properties as the Volterra equation.

Receding-horizon control of constrained uncertain linear systems with disturbances

Luigi Chisci, Paola Falugi, Giovanni Zappa (2002)

Kybernetika

The paper addresses receding-horizon (predictive) control for polytopic discrete-time systems subject to input/state constraints and unknown but bounded disturbances. The objective is to optimize nominal performance while guaranteeing robust stability and constraint satisfaction. The latter goal is achieved by exploiting robust invariant sets under linear and nonlinear control laws. Tradeoffs between maximizing the initial feasibility region and guaranteeing ultimate boundedness in the smallest...

Reconfigurability analysis for reliable fault-tolerant control design

Ahmed Khelassi, Didier Theilliol, Philippe Weber (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the integration of reliability evaluation in reconfigurability analysis of a fault-tolerant control system is considered. The aim of this work is to contribute to reliable fault-tolerant control design. The admissibility of control reconfigurability is analyzed with respect to reliability requirements. This analysis shows the relationship between reliability and control reconfigurability defined generally through Gramian controllability. An admissible solution for reconfigurability...

Reconfigurable control design with integration of a reference governor and reliability indicators

Philippe Weber, Boumedyen Boussaid, Ahmed Khelassi, Christophe Aubrun (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A new approach to manage actuator redundancy in the presence of faults is proposed based on reliability indicators and a reference governor. The aim is to preserve the health of the actuators and the availability of the system both in the nominal behavior and in the presence of actuator faults. The use of reference governor control allocation is a solution to distribute the control efforts among a redundant set of actuators. In a degraded situation, a reconfigured control allocation strategy is...

Reduced order controllers for Burgers' equation with a nonlinear observer

Jeanne Atwell, Jeffrey Borggaard, Belinda King (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

A method for reducing controllers for systems described by partial differential equations (PDEs) is applied to Burgers' equation with periodic boundary conditions. This approach differs from the typical approach of reducing the model and then designing the controller, and has developed over the past several years into its current form. In earlier work it was shown that functional gains for the feedback control law served well as a dataset for reduced order basis generation via the proper orthogonal...

Reduced-order Unscented Kalman Filtering with application to parameter identification in large-dimensional systems

Philippe Moireau, Dominique Chapelle (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We propose a general reduced-order filtering strategy adapted to Unscented Kalman Filtering for any choice of sampling points distribution. This provides tractable filtering algorithms which can be used with large-dimensional systems when the uncertainty space is of reduced size, and these algorithms only invoke the original dynamical and observation operators, namely, they do not require tangent operator computations, which of course is of considerable benefit when nonlinear operators are considered....

Reduction and transfer equivalence of nonlinear control systems: Unification and extension via pseudo-linear algebra

Ülle Kotta, Palle Kotta, Miroslav Halás (2010)

Kybernetika

The paper applies the pseudo-linear algebra to unify the results on reducibility, reduction and transfer equivalence for continuous- and discrete-time nonlinear control systems. The necessary and sufficient condition for reducibility of nonlinear input-output equation is presented in terms of the greatest common left factor of two polynomials describing the behaviour of the ‘tangent linearized system’ equation. The procedure is given to find the reduced (irreducible) system equation that is transfer...

Reduction of large circuit models via low rank approximate gramians

Jing-Rebecca Li, Jacob White (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We describe a model reduction algorithm which is well-suited for the reduction of large linear interconnect models. It is an orthogonal projection method which takes as the projection space the sum of the approximate dominant controllable subspace and the approximate dominant observable subspace. These approximate dominant subspaces are obtained using the Cholesky Factor ADI (CF-ADI) algorithm. We describe an improvement upon the existing implementation of CF-ADI which can result in significant...

Regional boundary observability: a numerical approach

El Hassane Zerrik, Hamid Bourray, Ali Boutoulout (2002)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper we review the concept of regional boundary observability, developed in (Michelitti, 1976), by means of sensor structures. This leads to the so-called boundary strategic sensors. A characterization of such sensors which guarantees regional boundary observability is given. The results obtained are applied to a two-dimensional system, and various cases of sensors are considered. We also describe an approach which leads to the estimation of the initial boundary state, which is illustrated...

Regional detection and reconstruction of unknown internal or boundary sources

Larbi Afifi, Abdelhaq El Jai, Malika Merry (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The purpose of this paper is to study the problem of regional detection, to characterize internal or boundary regionally detectable sources and regionally spy sensors, and to establish a relationship between these sensors and regionally strategic sensors. It is shown how to reconstruct a regionally detectable internal or a boundary source from a given output, with an extension to the case when the output is affected by an observation error. Numerical results are given in the case of a diffusion...

Regional observation and sensors

Abdelhaq El Jai, Houria Hamzaoui (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The purpose of this short paper is to provide original results related to the choice of the number of sensors and their supports for general distributed parameter systems. We introduce the notion of extended sensors and we show that the observation error decreases when the support of a sensor is widened. We also show that the observation error decreases when the number of sensors increases.

Regular syntheses and solutions to discontinuous ODEs

Alessia Marigo, Benedetto Piccoli (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we analyze several concepts of solution to discontinuous ODEs in relation to feedbacks generated by optimal syntheses. Optimal trajectories are called Stratified Solutions in case of regular synthesis in the sense of Boltyanskii–Brunovsky. We introduce a concept of solution called Krasowskii Cone Robust that characterizes optimal trajectories for minimum time on the plane and for general problems under suitable assumptions.
