Stabilization criteria for continuous linear time-invariant systems with constant lags.
In flight control of a morphing aircraft, the design objective and the dynamics may be different in its various configurations. To accommodate different performance goals in different sweep wing configurations, a novel switching strategy, mode dependent average dwell time (MDADT), is adopted to investigate the flight control of a morphing aircraft in its morphing phase. The switching signal used in this note is more general than the average dwell time (ADT), in which each mode has its own ADT. Under...
Methods for robust controller design, are an invaluable tool in the hands of the control engineer. Several methodologies been developed over the years and have been successfully applied for the solution of specific robust design problems. One of these methods, is based on the Finite Inclusions Theorem (FIT) and exploits properties of polynomials. This has led to the development of FIT-based algorithms for robust stabilization, robust asymptotic tracking and robust noise attenuation design. In this...
This paper presents a new robust adaptive model predictive control for a special class of continuous-time non-linear systems with uncertainty. These systems have bounded disturbances with unknown upper bound, as well as constraints on input states. An adaptive control is used in the new controller to estimate the system uncertainty. Also, to avoid the system disturbances, a method is employed to find the appropriate gain in Tube-MPC. Finally, a surge avoidance problem in centrifugal compressors...
Control strategies for nonlinear dynamical systems often make use of special system properties, which are, for example, differential flatness or exact input-output as well as input-to-state linearizability. However, approaches using these properties are unavoidably limited to specific classes of mathematical models. To generalize design procedures and to account for parameter uncertainties as well as modeling errors, an interval arithmetic approach for verified simulation of continuoustime dynamical...
