Decomposition of a second-order linear time-varying differential system as the series connection of two first order commutative pairs

Mehmet Emir Koksal (2016)

Open Mathematics

Necessary and sufficiently conditions are derived for the decomposition of a second order linear time- varying system into two cascade connected commutative first order linear time-varying subsystems. The explicit formulas describing these subsystems are presented. It is shown that a very small class of systems satisfies the stated conditions. The results are well verified by simulations. It is also shown that its cascade synthesis is less sensitive to numerical errors than the direct simulation...

Exponential stabilization of nonlinear driftless systems with robustness to unmodeled dynamics

Pascal Morin, Claude Samson (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Exponential stabilization of nonlinear driftless affine control systems is addressed with the concern of achieving robustness with respect to imperfect knowledge of the system's control vector fields. In order to satisfy this robustness requirement, and inspired by Bennani and Rouchon [1] where the same issue was first addressed, we consider a control strategy which consists in applying periodically updated open-loop controls that are continuous with respect to state initial conditions. These...

Local and global null controllability of time varying linear control systems

F. Colonius, R. Johnson (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

For linear control systems with coefficients determined by a dynamical system null controllability is discussed. If uniform local null controllability holds, and if the Lyapounov exponents of the homogeneous equation are all non-positive, then the system is globally null controllable for almost all paths of the dynamical system. Even if some Lyapounov exponents are positive, an irreducibility assumption implies that, for a dense set of paths, the system is globally null controllable.
