A safe supervisory flight control scheme in the presence of constraints and anomalies

Giuseppe Franzè, Angelo Furfaro, Massimiliano Mattei, Valerio Scordamaglia (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the hybrid supervisory control architecture developed by Famularo et al. (2011) for constrained control systems is adopted with the aim to improve safety in aircraft operations when critical events like command saturations or unpredicted anomalies occur. The capabilities of a low-computational demanding predictive scheme for the supervision of non-linear dynamical systems subject to sudden switchings amongst operating conditions and time-varying constraints are exploited in the flight...

A unified approach to stability analysis of switched linear descriptor systems under arbitrary switching

Guisheng Zhai, Xuping Xu (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

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...

Computer methods for stability analysis of the Roesser type model of 2D continuous-discrete linear systems

Mikołaj Busłowicz, Andrzej Ruszewski (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Asymptotic stability of models of 2D continuous-discrete linear systems is considered. Computer methods for investigation of the asymptotic stability of the Roesser type model are given. The methods require computation of eigenvalue-loci of complex matrices or evaluation of complex functions. The effectiveness of the stability tests is demonstrated on numerical examples.

Consensus and trajectory tracking of SISO linear multi-agent systems under switching communication topologies and formation changes

Carlos López-Limón, Javier Ruiz, Alejandro Cervantes-Herrera, Antonio Ramírez-Treviño (2013)

Kybernetika

The simultaneous problem of consensus and trajectory tracking of linear multi-agent systems is considered in this paper, where the dynamics of each agent is represented by a single-input single-output linear system. In order to solve this problem, a distributed control strategy is proposed in this work, where the trajectory and the formation of the agents are achieved asymptotically even in the presence of switching communication topologies and smooth formation changes, and ensuring the closed-loop...

Continuous-time input-output decoupling for sampled-data systems

Osvaldo Maria Grasselli, Laura Menini (1999)

Kybernetika

The problem of obtaining a continuous-time (i. e., ripple-free) input-output decoupled control system for a continuous-time linear time-invariant plant, by means of a purely discrete-time compensator, is stated and solved in the case of a unity feedback control system. Such a control system is hybrid, since the plant is continuous-time and the compensator is discrete-time. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a solution of such a problem is given, which reduces the mentioned...

Control in obstacle-pseudoplate problems with friction on the boundary. optimal design and problems with uncertain data

Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Four optimal design problems and a weight minimization problem are considered for elastic plates with small bending rigidity, resting on a unilateral elastic foundation, with inner rigid obstacles and a friction condition on a part of the boundary. The state problem is represented by a variational inequality and the design variables influence both the coefficients and the set of admissible state functions. If some input data are allowed to be uncertain a new method of reliable solutions is employed....

Controlled functional differential equations : approximate and exact asymptotic tracking with prescribed transient performance

Eugene P. Ryan, Chris J. Sangwin, Philip Townsend (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A tracking problem is considered in the context of a class 𝒮 of multi-input, multi-output, nonlinear systems modelled by controlled functional differential equations. The class contains, as a prototype, all finite-dimensional, linear, m -input, m -output, minimum-phase systems with sign-definite “high-frequency gain”. The first control objective is tracking of reference signals r by the output y of any system in 𝒮 : given λ 0 , construct a feedback strategy which ensures that, for every r (assumed bounded...
