The degeneration of reachable singular systems under feedback-transformations
This paper considers the problem of determining linear relations from data affected by additive noise in the context of the Frisch scheme. The loci of solutions of the Frisch scheme and their properties are first described in the algebraic case. In this context two main problems are analyzed: the evaluation of the maximal number of linear relations compatible with data affected by errors and the determination of the linear relation actually linking the noiseless data. Subsequently the extension...
The main subject of the paper is the description and determination of the impedance operator of a linear periodically timevarying (LPTV) one-port network in the steady-state. If the one-port network parameters and the supply vary periodically with the same period, the network reaches a periodic steady state. However, the sinusoidal supply may induce a nonsinusoidal voltage or current. It is impossible to describe such a phenomenon by means of one complex number. A periodically time-varying one-port...
The paper presents the technique of splitting operators, intended for perturbation analysis of control problems involving unitary matrices. Combined with the technique of Lyapunov majorants and the application of the Banach or Schauder fixed point principles, it allows to obtain rigorous non-local perturbation bounds for a set of sensitivity analysis problems. Among them are the reduction of linear systems into orthogonal canonical forms, the general feedback synthesis problem, and the pole assignment...
In this paper, we investigate the grouping behavior of multi-agent systems by exploiting the graph structure. We propose a novel algorithm for designing a network from scratch which yields the desired grouping in a network of agents utilizing a consensus-based algorithm. The proposed algorithm is shown to be optimal in the sense that it consists of the minimum number of links. Furthermore, we examine the effect of adding new vertices and edges to the network on the number of groups formed in the...
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.
The paper examines similarities between observer design as introduced in Automatic Control Theory and filter design as established in Signal Processing. It is shown in the paper that there are obvious connections between them in spite of different aims for their design. Therefore, it is prospective to make them be compatible from the structural point of view. Introduced error invariance and error convergence properties of both of them are unifying tools for their design. Lyapunov's stability theory,...
In this work, we introduce and examine the notion of domination for a class of linear distributed systems. This consists in studying the possibility to make a comparison between input or output operators. We give the main algebraic properties of such relations, as well as characterizations of exact and weak domination. We also study the case of actuators, and various situations are examined. Applications and illustrative examples are also given. By duality, we extend this study to observed systems....
