Suboptimal Control for Discrete Linear Systems with Time-delay:A Successive Approximation Approach

A successive approximation approach for designing optimal controllers is presented for discrete linear time-delay systems with a quadratic performance index.By using the successive approximation approach,the original optimal,control problem is transformed into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value (TPBV) problems without time-delay and time- advance terms.The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate feedback terms and a time-delay compensation term which is the limit of the solution sequence of the adjoint equations. By using a finite-step iteration of the time-delay compensation term of the optimal solution sequence, a suboptimal control law is obtained.Simulation examples are employed to test the validity of the proposed approach.     

非线性互联大系统的最优控制:逐次逼近法

The optimal control problem for nonlinear interconnected large-scale dynamic systems is considered. A successive approximation approach for designing the optimal controller is proposed with respect to quadratic performance indexes. By using the approach, the high order, coupling, nonlinear two-point boundary value (TPBV) problem is transformed into a sequence of linear decoupling TPBV problems. It is proven that the TPBV problem sequence uniformly converges to the optimal control for nonlinear interconnected large-scale systems. A suboptimal control law is obtained by using a finite iterative result of the optimal control sequence.

Based on an innovation analysis method in the Krein space, a sufficient and necessary condition is given for the existence of the solution of H1 control problem for a linear continuous-time system with multiple delays. By introducing a re-organized innovation sequence, the H1 control problem with delayed measurements is converted into a linear quadratic (LQ) problem and a delay-free H2 estimation problem in the Krein space. The controller is given in terms of two forward Riccati equations and a backward Riccati equation.

Stochastic optimal control of networked control systems with control packet dropouts

This paper considers the stochastic optimal control problem for networked control systems(NCSs)with control packet dropouts.The proportional plus up to the third-order derivative(PD3)compensation strategy is adopted to compensate for control packet dropouts at the actuator by using the past control packets stored in the buffer.Based on the strategy,a new NCS structure model with packet dropouts is provided,where the packet dropout is assumed to obey the Bernoulli random binary distribution.In terms of the given model,the stochastic optimal control law is proposed. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the results.     

Adaptive variable structure control of MIMO nonlinear systems with time-varying delays and unknown dead-zones

In this paper, adaptive variable structure neural control is presented for a class of uncertain multi-input multi-output （MIMO） nonlinear systems with state time-varying delays and unknown nonlinear dead-zones. The unknown time-varying delay uncer- tainties are compensated for using appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals in the design. The approach removes the assumption of linear function outside the deadband without necessarily constructing a dead-zone inverse as an added contribution. By utilizing the integral-type Lyapunov function and introducing an adaptive compensation term for the upper bound of the residual and optimal approximation error as well as the dead-zone disturbance, the closed-loop control system is proved to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. In addition, a modified adaptive control algorithm is given in order to avoid the high-frequency chattering phenomenon. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.     

线性离散奇异系统的不定二次最优控制问题: Krein空间方法

The finite time horizon indefinite linear quadratic(LQ) optimal control problem for singular linear discrete time-varying systems is discussed. Indefinite LQ optimal control problem for singular systems can be transformed to that for standard state-space systems under a reasonable assumption. It is shown that the indefinite LQ optimal control problem is dual to that of projection for backward stochastic systems. Thus, the optimal LQ controller can be obtained by computing the gain matrices of Kalman filter. Necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing a unique solution for the indefinite LQ problem are given. An explicit solution for the problem is obtained in terms of the solution of Riccati difference equations.     

Formation and obstacle avoidance control for multiagent systems

This paper considers the problems of formation and obstacle avoidance for multiagent systems.The objective is to design a term of agents that can reach a desired formation while avoiding collision with obstacles.To reduce the amount of information interaction between agents and target,we adopt the leader-follower formation strategy.By using the receding horizon control (RHC),an optimal problem is formulated in terms of cost minimization under constraints.Information on obstacles is incorporated online as sensed in a limited sensing range.The communication requirements between agents are that the followers should obtain the previous optimal control trajectory of the leader to each update time.The stability is guaranteed by adding a terminal-state penalty to the cost function and a terminal-state region to optimal problem.Finally,simulation studies are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Gain-scheduled L-one control for linear parameter-varying systems with parameter-dependent delays

This paper deals with the problem of gain-scheduled L-one control for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with parameter-dependent delays. The attention is focused on the design of a gain-scheduled L-one controller that guarantees being an asymptotically stable closed-loop system and satisfying peak-to-peak performance constraints for LPV systems with respect to all amplitude-bounded input signals. In particular, concentrating on the delay-dependent case, we utilize parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions (PDLF) to establish peak-to-peak performance criteria for the first time where there exists a coupling between a Lyapunov function matrix and system matrices. By introducing a slack matrix, the decoupling for the parameter-dependent time-delay LPV system is realized. In this way, the sufficient conditions for the existence of a gain-scheduled L-one controller are proposed in terms of the Lyapunov stability theory and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) method. Based on approximate basis function and the gridding technique, the corresponding controller design is cast into a feasible solution problem of the finite parameter linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

A new approach on designing l1 optimal regulator with minimum order for SISO linear systems

For a SISO linear discrete-time system with a specified input signal, a novel method to realize optimal l1 regulation control is presented. Utilizing the technique of converting a polynomial equation to its corresponding matrix equation, a linear programming problem to get an optimal l1 norm of the system output error map is developed which includes the first term and the last term of the map sequence in the objective function and the right vector of its constraint matrix equation, respectively. The adjustability for the width of the constraint matrix makes the trade-off between the order of the optimal regulator and the value of the minimum objective norm become possible, especially for achieving the optimal regulator with minimum order. By norm scaling rules for the constraint matrix equation, the optimal solution can be scaled directly or be obtained by solving a linear programming problem with l\ norm objective.
