A solution of the continuous Lyapunov equation by means of power series
A spectral characterization of the behavior of discrete time AR–representations over a finite time interval
In this paper we investigate the behavior of the discrete time AR (Auto Regressive) representations over a finite time interval, in terms of the finite and infinite spectral structure of the polynomial matrix involved in the AR-equation. A boundary mapping equation and a closed formula for the determination of the solution, in terms of the boundary conditions, are also gived.
A structural analysis of the pole shifting problem
A study on decentralized feedback control systems with local quantizers
In this paper, we study decentralized feedback control systems with quantized signals in local input-output (control) channels. We first assume that a decentralized output feedback controller has been designed for a multi-channel continuous-time system so that the closed-loop system is Hurwitz stable and a desired disturbance attenuation level is achieved. However, since the local measurement outputs are quantized by a general quantizer before they are passed to the controller, the system’s...
A study on new right/left inverses of nonsquare polynomial matrices
This paper presents several new results on the inversion of full normal rank nonsquare polynomial matrices. New analytical right/left inverses of polynomial matrices are introduced, including the so-called τ-inverses, σ-inverses and, in particular, S-inverses, the latter providing the most general tool for the design of various polynomial matrix inverses. The applicationoriented problem of selecting stable inverses is also solved. Applications in inverse-model control, in particular robust minimum...

A swinging up controller for the Furuta pendulum based on the Total Energy Control System approach
This paper considers the problem of swinging up the Furuta pendulum and proposes a new smooth nonlinear swing up controller based on the concept of energy. This new controller results from the Total Energy Control System (TECS) approach in conjunction with a linearizing feedback controller. The new controller commands to the desired reference the total energy rate of the Furuta pendulum; thus, the Furuta pendulum oscillates and reaches a neighborhood of its unstable configuration while the rotation...
A synthesis of time-optimal controls in the presence of saturated singular arcs.
A theorem on the controllability of pertubated linear control systems
In this Note, applying our recent Theorem 3.1 of [7], we prove that suitable perturbations of a completely controllable linear control system, do not affect the controllability of the system.
A tracking controller design with preview action for a class of nonlinear Lur'e systems with time-varying delays and external disturbances
In this paper, the tracking control problem for a class of discrete-time nonlinear Lur’e systems with time-varying delays and external disturbances is studied via a preview control method. First, a novel translation approach is introduced to construct the augmented error system for Lur’e systems. The output tracking problem is thereby transformed into a guaranteed cost controller design problem. To produce an integral control action that can eliminate the static error, a discrete integrator is...

A unified approach to stability analysis of switched linear descriptor systems under arbitrary switching
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...
A variable structure observer for the control of robot manipulators
This paper deals with the application of a variable structure observer developed for a class of nonlinear systems to solve the trajectory tracking problem for rigid robot manipulators. The analyzed approach to observer design proposes a simple design methodology for systems having completely observable linear parts and bounded nonlinearities andor uncertainties. This observer is basically the conventional Luenberger observer with an additional switching term that is used to guarantee robustness...
A vehicle-track-soil dynamic interaction problem in sequential and parallel formulation
Some problems regarding numerical modeling of predicted vibrations excited by railway traffic are discussed. Model formulation in the field of structural mechanics comprises a vehicle, a track (often in a tunnel) and soil. Time consuming computations are needed to update large matrices at every discrete step. At first, a sequential Matlab code is generated. Later on, the formulation is modified to use grid computing, thereby a significant reduction in computational time is expected.
