A complexity reduction approach to detectability of switching systems

In this article, we address detectability for the class of linear switching systems. We focus on some hybrid state-space decompositions of the original switching system based on hybrid invariant subspaces, which yield a complexity reduction in checking detectability. We show that the reduced system extracted from the original system is the minimal bisimilar switching system associated with it. An example is also included which shows the applicability and benefits of the proposed approach.     

Incipient fault detection with smoothing techniques in statistical process monitoring

In modern industry, detecting incipient faults timely is of vital importance to prevent serious system performance deterioration and ensure optimal process operation. Recently, multivariate statistical process monitoring (MSPM) techniques have been extensively studied and widely applied to modern industrial systems. However, conventional fault detection indices utilized in statistical process monitoring are not sensitive to incipient faults with small magnitude. In this paper, by introducing two representative smoothing techniques, novel incipient fault detection strategies based on a generic fault detection index in MSPM are proposed. Fault detectability for each proposed strategy is analyzed. In addition, the effects of the smoothing parameters on fault detection, including advantages and disadvantages, are also investigated. Finally, case studies on a numerical example and two practical industrial processes are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed incipient fault detection strategies.     

On the cardinal number of complete sets of Boolean operations†

It is shown in the literature (using the Post—Yablonsky theorem) that a complete set of Boolean operations cannot have a cardinal number greater than four. It is the object of this paper to improve this bound and prove that a complete set can have a cardinal number of at most three or, in other words, there does not exist a complete (non–redundant) set of more than three Boolean operations. The proof given here is constructive, using the Post—Yablonsky theorem, truth tables and combinatorial set theory.     

Distributed fault diagnosis in a class of interconnected nonlinear uncertain systems

In this article, a distributed fault detection and isolation (FDI) method is developed for a class of interconnected nonlinear uncertain systems. In the distributed FDI architecture, a FDI component is designed for each subsystem in the interconnected system. For each subsystem, its corresponding local FDI component is designed by utilising local measurements and certain communicated information from neighbouring FDI components associated with subsystems that are directly interconnected to the particular subsystem under consideration. Under certain assumptions, adaptive thresholds for distributed FDI in each subsystem are derived, ensuring robustness with respect to interactions among subsystems and system modelling uncertainty. Moreover, the fault detectability and isolability conditions are rigorously investigated, characterising the class of faults in each subsystem that are detectable and isolable by the proposed distributed FDI method. Additionally, the stability and learning capability of the local adaptive fault isolation estimators designed for each subsystem is established. A simulation example of interconnected inverted pendulums mounted on carts is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the method.     

Sensors structures and regional detectability of parabolic distributed systems

In this paper, we deal with the linear infinite dimensional systems in a Hilbert space where the dynamics of the system is governed by strongly continuous semi-groups. We study the concept of asymptotic (exponential) regional detectability in connection with the structures of sensors for a class of parabolic distributed parameter systems. For different sensors structures, we give the characterization of the asymptotic (exponential) regional detectability in order that asymptotic (exponential) regional observability be achieved. Furthermore, we apply these results to the regional observer for distributed parameter diffusion systems.

Robust estimation of continuous nonlinear plants with discrete measurements

In this work the problem of designing a state estimator for completely or partially observable continuous nonlinear plants with discrete measurements is addressed. The combination of a geometric approach with a stability analysis yields an estimator design methodology with a nonlinear detectability condition susceptible of testing, a systematic estimator construction, a robust convergence criterion coupled with a simple tuning scheme, as well as a rationale to explain the interplay between sampling time, estimator gains, and estimator functioning. Comparing with the continuous measurement case where the convergence is attained by tuning the gain above a low limit, in the discrete measurement case the loss of information due to the measurement sampling increases the size of the lower gain limit, and imposes sampling time and high gain limits. The proposed methodology is applied to address the estimation problem of a class of solution homopolymerization reactors, and is tested with a methyl-methacrylate polymerization run taken from a previous extended Kalman filter implementation study with experimental data.

New results in 2D optimal control theory

The infinite horizon optimal control problem is solved for 2D systems described by the Fornasini-Marchesini model. An ₂-approach permits us to reduce the optimal control problem to a norm minimization one in Hilbert spaces. Both necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability and the structure of the solution are established. Moreover, a comparison with known results is presented, and the singularities of the 2D Riccati equation are examined in order to characterize suboptimal control laws that apply whenever the solvability conditions are not satisfied.
