Design of predictive LQ controller

Miroslav Fikar, Sebastian Engell, Petr Dostál (1999)

Kybernetika

A single variable controller is developed in the predictive control framework based upon minimisation of the LQ criterion with infinite output and control horizons. The infinite version of the predictive cost function results in better stability properties of the controller and still enables to incorporate constraints into the control design. The constrained controller consists of two parts: time-invariant nominal LQ controller and time-variant part given by Youla–Kučera parametrisation of all stabilising...

Design of reaching phase for variable structure controller based on SVD method

Goshaidas Ray, Sitansu Dey (2004)

Kybernetika

This paper considers a design of variable structure with sliding mode controller for a class of uncertain dynamic system based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method. The proposed method reduces the number of switching gain vector components and performs satisfactorily while the external disturbance does not satisfy the matching conditions. Subsequently the stability of the global system is studied and furthermore, the design of switched gain matrix elements based on fuzzy logic approach provides...

Design of reaching phase for variable structure controller based on Householder transformation

Goshaidas Ray, Sitansu Dey, T. K. Bhattacharyya (2005)

Kybernetika

The paper presents control signals generation methods, preventing the excitation of residual vibration in slightly damped oscillational systems. It is focused on the feedforward methods, as most of the vibrations in examined processes are induced by the control, while the influence of disturbances is mostly negligible. Application of these methods involves ensuring of the insensitivity to natural frequency change, which can be reached in classical approach only by considerable increase of transient...

Design of robust output affine quadratic controller

Vojtech Veselý (2004)

Kybernetika

The paper addresses the problem robust output feedback controller design with guaranteed cost and affine quadratic stability for linear continuous time affine systems. The proposed design method leads to a non-iterative LMI based algorithm. A numerical example is given to illustrate the design procedure.

Design of the state predictive model following control system with time-delay

Dazhong Wang, Shujing Wu, Shigenori Okubo (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Time-delay systems exist in many engineering fields such as transportation systems, communication systems, process engineering and, more recently, networked control systems. It usually results in unsatisfactory performance and is frequently a source of instability, so the control of time-delay systems is practically important. In this paper, a design of the state predictive model following control system (PMFCS) with time-delay is discussed. The bounded property of the internal states for the control...

Design of unknown input fractional-order observers for fractional-order systems

Ibrahima N'Doye, Mohamed Darouach, Holger Voos, Michel Zasadzinski (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper considers a method of designing fractional-order observers for continuous-time linear fractional-order systems with unknown inputs. Conditions for the existence of these observers are given. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotical stability of fractional-order observer errors with the fractional order α satisfying 0 < α < 2 are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach, where the...

Designing a ship course controller by applying the adaptive backstepping method

Anna Witkowska, Roman Śmierzchalski (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The article discusses the problem of designing a proper and efficient adaptive course-keeping control system for a seagoing ship based on the adaptive backstepping method. The proposed controller in the design stage takes into account the dynamic properties of the steering gear and the full nonlinear static maneuvering characteristic. The adjustable parameters of the achieved nonlinear control structure were tuned up by using the genetic algorithm in order to optimize the system performance. A realistic...

Detection and accommodation of second order distributed parameter systems with abrupt changes in input term: Existence and approximation

Michael A. Demetriou, Azmy S. Ackleh, Simeon Reich (2000)

Kybernetika

The purpose of this note is to investigate the existence of solutions to a class of second order distributed parameter systems with sudden changes in the input term. The class of distributed parameter systems under study is often encountered in flexible structures and structure-fluid interaction systems that use smart actuators. A failure in the actuator is modeled as either an abrupt or an incipient change of the actuator map whose magnitude is a function of the measurable output. A Galerkin-based...

Detection and accommodation of second order distributed parameter systems with abrupt changes in input term: stability and adaptation

Michael A. Demetriou, Marios M. Polycarpou (1998)

Kybernetika

In this note, we employ nonlinear on-line parameter estimation methods based on adaptive neural network approximators for detecting changes due to actuator faults in a class of second order distributed parameter systems. The motivating example is a cantilevered beam actuated via a pair of piezoceramic patches. We examine changes in the control input term, which provide a simple and practical model of actuator failures. Using Lyapunov redesign methods, a stable learning scheme for fault diagnosis...

Detection and identification of loss of efficiency faults of flight actuators

Daniel Ossmann, Andreas Varga (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

We propose linear parameter-varying (LPV) model-based approaches to the synthesis of robust fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) systems for loss of efficiency (LOE) faults of flight actuators. The proposed methods are applicable to several types of parametric (or multiplicative) LOE faults such as actuator disconnection, surface damage, actuator power loss or stall loads. For the detection of these parametric faults, advanced LPV-model detection techniques are proposed, which implicitly provide...

Deterministic optimal policies for Markov control processes with pathwise constraints

Armando F. Mendoza-Pérez, Onésimo Hernández-Lerma (2012)

Applicationes Mathematicae

This paper deals with discrete-time Markov control processes in Borel spaces with unbounded rewards. Under suitable hypotheses, we show that a randomized stationary policy is optimal for a certain expected constrained problem (ECP) if and only if it is optimal for the corresponding pathwise constrained problem (pathwise CP). Moreover, we show that a certain parametric family of unconstrained optimality equations yields convergence properties that lead to an approximation scheme which allows us to...

Differentiability of perturbed semigroups and delay semigroups

Charles J. K. Batty (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Suppose that A generates a C₀-semigroup T on a Banach space X. In 1953 R. S. Phillips showed that, for each bounded operator B on X, the perturbation A+B of A generates a C₀-semigroup on X, and he considered whether certain classes of semigroups are stable under such perturbations. This study was extended in 1968 by A. Pazy who identified a condition on the resolvent of A which is sufficient for the perturbed semigroups to be immediately differentiable. However, M. Renardy showed in 1995 that immediate...

Differential flatness and defect: an overview

Michel Fliess, Jean Lévine, Philippe Martin, Pierre Rouchon (1995)

Banach Center Publications

We introduce flat systems, which are equivalent to linear ones via a special type of feedback called endogenous. Their physical properties are subsumed by a linearizing output and they might be regarded as providing another nonlinear extension of Kalman's controllability. The distance to flatness is measured by a non-negative integer, the defect. We utilize differential algebra which suits well to the fact that, in accordance with Willems' standpoint, flatness and defect are best defined without...
