A procedure for designing stabilizing output feedback controllers
A linear quadratic optimal control problem for a class of discrete distributed systems is analyzed. To solve this problem, we introduce an adequate topology and establish that optimal control can be determined though an inversion of the appropriate isomorphism. An example and a numerical approach are given.
A realization problem for positive, continuous-time linear systems with reduced numbers of delays in state and in control is formulated and solved. Sufficient conditions for the existence of positive realizations with reduced numbers of delays of a given proper transfer function are established. A procedure for the computation of positive realizations with reduced numbers of delays is presented and illustrated by an example.
In this Note, applying our recent Theorem 3.1 of [7], we prove that suitable perturbations of a completely controllable linear control system, do not affect the controllability of the system.
We establish a unified approach to stability analysis for switched linear descriptor systems under arbitrary switching in both continuous-time and discrete-time domains. The approach is based on common quadratic Lyapunov functions incorporated with linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). We show that if there is a common quadratic Lyapunov function for the stability of all subsystems, then the switched system is stable under arbitrary switching. The analysis results are natural extensions of the existing...
The prospective work reported in this paper explores a new approach to enhance the performance of an active fault tolerant control system. The proposed technique is based on a modified recovery/trajectory control system in which a reconfigurable reference input is considered when performance degradation occurs in the system due to faults in actuator dynamics. An added value of this work is to reduce the energy spent to achieve the desired closed-loop performance. This work is justified by the need...
The paper concerns the problem of decomposition of a large-scale linear dynamic system into two subsystems. An equivalent problem is to split the characteristic polynomial of the original system into two polynomials of lower degrees. Conditions are found concerning the coefficients of the original polynomial which must be fulfilled for its factorization. It is proved that knowledge of only one of the symmetric functions of those polynomials of lower degrees is sufficient for factorization of the...
This paper deals with the stabilization of the linear time-invariant finite dimensional control problem specified by the following linear spaces and subspaces on C: χ (state space) = χ* ⊕ χd, U (input space) = U1 ⊕ U2, Y (output space) = Y1 + Y2, together with the linear mappings: Qs = χ x U x [0,t} --> χ associated with the evolution equation of the C0-semigroup S(t) generated by the matrices, of real and complex entries A belonging to L(χ,χ) and B belonging to L(U,χ) of a given differential...
