Robust Optimal Control of Nonlinear Systems With System Disturbance During Feedback Disruption

In this paper, a robust optimal control problem of nonlinear systems with system disturbance during feedback disruption is considered. This is an extended work of previous time‐delay optimal control results, by adding external disturbance in the considered system. It is shown that there exists an optimal input signal which keeps the performance error within the specified bound for the longest time. Then, it is shown that such an optimal input signal can be approximated by an implementable bang‐bang input signal in terms of control performance. Two examples are given for illustration.     

Fastest recovery after feedback disruption

The problem of quickly reducing operating errors during recovery from a feedback disruption is considered. The objective is to design controllers that reduce operating errors as quickly as possible, once feedback has been restored. It is shown that robust optimal feedback controllers that achieve this objective do exist. Furthermore, it is shown that the performance of optimal controllers can be approximated as closely as desired by controllers that generate bang–bang input signals for the controlled system. Controllers that generate bang–bang signals are relatively easy to derive and implement, since bang–bang signals are characterised by a finite list of scalars – their switching times.     

Fastest recovery from feedback loss: Bounded overshoot

The problem of designing robust optimal controllers to reduce in minimal time operating errors that had accumulated during a period of feedback loss is revisited, with the objective of imposing a constraint on the maximal overshoot of the controlled system. It is shown that robust optimal controllers that satisfy this constraint exist under rather broad conditions. It is also shown that optimal performance can be closely approximated by bang–bang controllers – controllers that are relatively easy to design and implement.     

A non-smooth control law and time-optimality notions for the acrobot

We propose a discontinuous control law to pump energy into the acrobot system to place the system at a certain energy level. Filippov calculus is used to establish convergence of the system trajectory to the desired energy set. The bang–bang nature of the control law prompts us to investigate whether the energy is pumped in minimum time. We then present necessary conditions for time optimality.     

Adaptive and optimal control of a non-linear process using intelligent controllers

A time-optimal control for set point changes and an adaptive control for process parameter variations using neural network for a non-linear conical tank level process are proposed in this work. Time-optimal level control was formulated using dynamic programming algorithm and basic properties of the solutions were analysed. It was found that the control is of bang–bang type and there is only one switching. In this method, a mathematical step-by-step procedure is used to obtain the optimal valve position path with one switching and is trained by neural network, based on the back-propagation algorithm. The dynamic programming procedure allows the set point to be reached as fast as possible without overshoot. An adaptive system is also designed and proved to be useful in adjusting the trained parameter of the dynamic programming based neural network for the process parameter variations. A prototype of conical tank level system has been built and implementation of dynamic programming based neural network control algorithm for set point changes and implementation of adaptive control for process parameter variations are performed. Finally, the performance is compared with conventional control. The results prove the effectiveness of the proposed optimal and adaptive control schemes.     

Time optimal control of second-order systems with transport lag†

The time optimal control of particular second–order systems with constant transport lags is determined by application of Pontryagin's Maximum Principle. A system with a delayed control and a system with a delayed state are considered. The optimal control for these systems is compared with the optimal control of a similar system which does not contain transport lag. It is found that the optimal control is essentially bang–bang but that it is non–unique under certain conditions.     

Modified bang‐bang controller for maximal and minimal time optimal control problems

Recently, there have been a series of results regarding two time optimal control problems for a class of linear and nonlinear systems ‐ one is to keep the system states within certain bound for the longest time during feedback disruption and the other is to derive the system states to near the origin as fast as possible after feedback recovery, both under bounded control inputs. These are called maximal and minimal time optimal control problems, respectively. In the existing results, a bang‐bang controller has been commonly suggested as the actual implementation of the optimal controller. In this paper, we suggest a modified version of the bang‐bang controller which can also serve as an approximate optimal controller. Our proposed controller provides the (near) optimal performance with (i) possible reduction of a number of switchings; (ii) possible reduction of control input magnitude.     

Optimality and stability in a class of bang–bang controlled biochemical reaction systems

This paper deals with the optimization of biochemical reaction systems of rank one. Two optimization problems are solved: the problem of optimal operation for maximum productivity in steady state and the problem of the start-up to the optimal steady state. Application of Pontryagin's maximum principle shows that the controller is of the bang–bang type, with no singular intervals. The determination of the optimal switching surface involves the solution of a two point boundary value problem. Solving such a difficult problem is avoided by choosing candidate switching surfaces on a heuristic basis. This study shows that switching on the stability boundary of the nominal operating point corresponding to the maximum dilution rate is the best choice. Here the value of the cost index is minimum amongst the various switching surfaces considered and the stability boundary satisfies the conditions imposed on a candidate switching surface for proper operation. Simple, robust algorithms are formulated for accurately estimating the system's stability boundary. The obtained results display the influence of feedback control on the stability of the set point. The bang–bang controller substantially increases the set point's region of attraction in state space as compared to the uncontrolled bioreactor.     

Bang–bang control model with optimistic value criterion for uncertain switched systems

This paper studies an optimal control problem for uncertain switched linear systems with subsystems perturbed by uncertainty. A model for this problem is investigated with optimistic value criterion. The goal is to jointly design a deterministic switching law and a continuous feedback to optimize an uncertain objective function. A two-stage algorithm is applied to handle such model. In the first stage, the maximum value of the objective function and the bang–bang control are obtained under fixed switching instants, and in the second stage, GA and PSO algorithm are used to get the optimal switching instants, respectively. An example is shown to validate the method.
