Generalized solutions to hybrid dynamical systems

Ricardo G. Sanfelice, Rafal Goebel, Andrew R. Teel (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Several recent results in the area of robust asymptotic stability of hybrid systems show that the concept of a generalized solution to a hybrid system is suitable for the analysis and design of hybrid control systems. In this paper, we show that such generalized solutions are exactly the solutions that arise when measurement noise in the system is taken into account.

How to compensate a spreading disturbance for a class of nonlinear systems

Youssef Qaraai, Abdes Samed Bernoussi, Abdelhaq El Jai (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We consider a system which is assumed to be affected by an expanding disturbance which occurs at the initial time. The compensation of the disturbance is accomplished by extending the concept of remediability to a class of nonlinear systems. The results are implemented and illustrated with a nonlinear distributed model.

L2 performance induced by feedbacks with multiple saturations

Andrew R. Teel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Multi-level saturation feedbacks induce nonlinear disturbance-to-state L2 stability for nonlinear systems in feedforward form. This class of systems includes linear systems with actuator constraints.

Model-based techniques for virtual sensing of longitudinal flight parameters

Georges Hardier, Cédric Seren, Pierre Ezerzere (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Introduction of fly-by-wire and increasing levels of automation significantly improve the safety of civil aircraft, and result in advanced capabilities for detecting, protecting and optimizing A/C guidance and control. However, this higher complexity requires the availability of some key flight parameters to be extended. Hence, the monitoring and consolidation of those signals is a significant issue, usually achieved via many functionally redundant sensors to extend the way those parameters are...

Novel optimal recursive filter for state and fault estimation of linear stochastic systems with unknown disturbances

Karim Khémiri, Fayçal Ben Hmida, José Ragot, Moncef Gossa (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper studies recursive optimal filtering as well as robust fault and state estimation for linear stochastic systems with unknown disturbances. It proposes a new recursive optimal filter structure with transformation of the original system. This transformation is based on the singular value decomposition of the direct feedthrough matrix distribution of the fault which is assumed to be of arbitrary rank. The resulting filter is optimal in the sense of the unbiased minimum-variance criteria....

On some geometric control properties of active suspensions systems

Domenico Prattichizzo, Paolo Mercorelli (2000)

Kybernetika

The geometric control properties of vehicles with active suspensions are analyzed. A special attention is devoted to the problem of disturbance decoupling. Active suspensions of advanced vehicles allow the active rejection of external disturbances exerted on the sprung mass of the vehicle and caused by road surface irregularity. We focus on the road irregularity disturbances with the purpose of isolating the chassis from vibrations transmitted through suspensions. The paper is aimed at the synthesis...

On the structure at infinity of linear delay systems with application to the disturbance decoupling problem

Rabah Rabah, Michel Malabre (1999)

Kybernetika

The disturbance decoupling problem is studied for linear delay systems. The structural approach is used to design a decoupling precompensator. The realization of the given precompensator by static state feedback is studied. Using various structural and geometric tools, a detailed description of the feedback is given, in particular, derivative of the delayed disturbance can be needed in the realization of the precompensator.

Optimal decentralized control design with disturbance decoupling

Petros G. Voulgaris (2002)

Kybernetika

In this paper we present an input-output point of view for the problem of closed loop norm minimization of stable plants when a decentralized structure and a disturbance decoupling property are imposed on the controller. We show that this problem is convex and present approaches to its solution in the optimal 1 sense in the nontrivial case which is when the block off- diagonal terms of the plant have more columns than rows.

Partial disturbance decoupling problem for structured transfer matrix systems by measurement feedback

Ulviye Başer (1999)

Kybernetika

Partial disturbance decoupling problems are equivalent to zeroing the first, say k Markov parameters of the closed-loop system between the disturbance and controlled output. One might consider this problem when it is not possible to zero all the Markov parameters which is known as exact disturbance decoupling. Structured transfer matrix systems are linear systems given by transfer matrices of which the infinite zero order of each nonzero entry is known, while the associated infinite gains are unknown...

Pole placement and mixed sensitivity of LTI MIMO systems having controlled outputs different from measurements

Miguel A. Flores, René Galindo (2021)

Kybernetika

Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) controllable and observable systems where the controller has access to some plant outputs but not others are considered. Analytical expressions of coprime factorizations of a given plant, a solution of the Diophantine equation and the two free parameters of a two-degrees of freedom (2DOF) controller based on observer stabilizing control are presented solving a pole placement problem, a mixed sensitivity criterion, and a reference tracking...
