Necessary and sufficient conditions are formulated for checking robust stability of an uncertain polynomial matrix. Various stability regions and uncertainty models are handled in a unified way. The conditions, stemming from a general optimization methodology similar to the one used in -analysis, are expressed as a rank-one LMI, a non-convex problem frequently arising in robust control. Convex relaxations of the problem yield tractable sufficient LMI conditions for robust stability of uncertain...
The paper addresses the problem of the robust output feedback controller design with a guaranteed cost and parameter dependent Lyapunov function for linear continuous time polytopic systems. Two design methods based on improved robust stability conditions are proposed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The obtained results are compared with other three design procedures.
This paper investigates the geometric and structural characteristics involved in the control of general mechanisms and manipulation systems. These systems consist of multiple cooperating linkages that interact with a reference member of the mechanism (the “object”) by means of contacts on any available part of their links. Grasp and manipulation of an object by the human hand is taken as a paradigmatic example for this class of manipulators. Special attention is devoted to the output specification...
The paper addresses the problem of design of a robust controller for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems to guarantee the prescribed decay rate of exponential stability. The bounded deterministic uncertainties are considered both in a studied system and its input part. The proposed approach does not employ matching conditions.
The rotary inverted pendulum (RIP) system is one of the fundamental, nonlinear, unstable and interesting benchmark systems in the field of control theory. In this paper, two nonlinear control strategies, namely hierarchical sliding mode control (HSMC) and decoupled sliding mode control (DSMC), are discussed to address the stabilization problem of the RIP system. We introduced HSMC with state-dependent switching gain for stabilization of the RIP system. Numerical simulations are performed to analyze...
This paper investigates the problem of observer-based finite-time control for the uncertain discrete-time systems with nonlinear perturbations and time-varying delay. The Luenberger observer is designed to measure the system state. The observer-based controller is constructed. By constructing an appropriated Lyapunov-.Krasovskii functional, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the resulting closed-loop system is finite-time bounded via observer-based control. The observer-based controller...
Based on recently developed sufficient conditions for stability of polynomial matrices, an LMI technique is described to perform robust pole placement by proportional-derivative feedback on second-order linear systems affected by polytopic or norm-bounded uncertainty. As illustrated by several numerical examples, at the core of the approach is the choice of a nominal, or central quadratic polynomial matrix.
Systems with time-varying non-linearity confined to a given sector (Luré type) and a linear part with uncertainty formulated by an interval transfer function, are considered. Sufficient conditions satisfying the Popov criterion for stability, which are computationally tractable, are derived. The problem of checking the Popov criterion for an infinite set of systems, is reduced to that of checking the Popov criterion for a finite number of fixed coefficient systems, each in a prescribed frequency...
The paper is devoted to the problem of robust stability of positive continuous-time linear systems with delays with structured perturbations of state matrices. Simple necessary and sufficient conditions for robust stability in the general case and in the case of systems with a linear uncertainty structure in two sub-cases: (i) a unity rank uncertainty structure and (ii) nonnegative perturbation matrices are established. The problems are illustrated with numerical examples.
