Global quadratic stabilization of a class of nonlinear systems

The problem of quadratic stabilization for a class of nonlinear systems is examined in this paper. By employing a well-known Riccati approach, we develop a technique for designing a state feedback control law which quadratically stabilizes the system for all admissible uncertainties. This state feedback control law consists of linear and nonlinear feedback control terms. The linear feedback control term is generalized from a well-known H_∞ result, while the nonlinear term can be viewed as a correcting term for the presence of nonlinear bounded uncertainty. This stabilization result is extended to static output feedback and to systems for which the nonlinear uncertainty satisfies generalized matching conditions. Furthermore, we point out that in the presence of nonlinear uncertainty the global quadratic stability may be destroyed by some arbitrary small mismatched uncertainty in the matrix, and proceed to establish the region of semi-global quadratic stability of the controlled system. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal fuzzy controller based on non-monotonic Lyapunov function with a case study on laboratory helicopter

This paper presents a new approach to design an observer-based optimal fuzzy state feedback controller for discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems via LQR based on the non-monotonic Lyapunov function. Non-monotonic Lyapunov stability theorem proposed less conservative conditions rather than common quadratic method. To compare with optimal fuzzy feedback controller design based on common quadratic Lyapunov function, this paper proceeds reformulation of the observer-based optimal fuzzy state feedback controller based on common quadratic Lyapunov function. Also in both methodologies, the dependence of optimisation problem on initial conditions is omitted. As a practical case study, the controllers are implemented on a laboratory twin-rotor helicopter to compare the controllers' performance.     

Nonlinear robust state feedback control system design for nonlinear uncertain systems

This paper presents a systematic approach to the design of a nonlinear robust dynamic state feedback controller for nonlinear uncertain systems using copies of the plant nonlinearities. The technique is based on the use of integral quadratic constraints and minimax linear quadratic regulator control, and uses a structured uncertainty representation. The approach combines a linear state feedback guaranteed cost controller and copies of the plant nonlinearities to form a robust nonlinear controller with a novel control architecture. A nonlinear state feedback controller is designed for a synchronous machine using the proposed method. The design provides improved stability and transient response in the presence of uncertainty and nonlinearity in the system and also provides a guaranteed bound on the cost function. An automatic voltage regulator to track reference terminal voltage is also provided by a state feedback equivalent robust nonlinear proportional integral controller.

Robust stability and stabilization for singular systems with statedelay and parameter uncertainty

Considers the problems of robust stability and stabilization for uncertain continuous singular systems with state delay. The parametric uncertainty is assumed to be norm bounded. The purpose of the robust stability problem is to give conditions such that the uncertain singular system is regular, impulse free, and stable for all admissible uncertainties, while the purpose of the robust stabilization is to design a state feedback control law such that the resulting closed-loop system is robustly stable. These problems are solved via the notions of generalized quadratic stability and generalized quadratic stabilization, respectively. Necessary and sufficient conditions for generalized quadratic stability and generalized quadratic stabilization are derived. A strict linear matrix inequality (LMI) design approach is developed. An explicit expression for the desired robust state feedback control law is also given. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method     

Linear quadratic networked control of uncertain polytopic systems

This paper investigates the problem of designing robust linear quadratic regulators for uncertain polytopic continuous‐time systems over networks subject to delays. The main contribution is to provide a procedure to determine a discrete‐time representation of the weighting matrices associated to the quadratic criterion and an accurate discretized model, in such a way that a robust state feedback gain computed in the discrete‐time domain assures a guaranteed quadratic cost to the closed‐loop continuous‐time system. The obtained discretized model has matrices with polynomial dependence on the uncertain parameters and an additive norm‐bounded term representing the approximation residual error. A strategy based on linear matrix inequality relaxations is proposed to synthesize, in the discrete‐time domain, a digital robust state feedback control law that stabilizes the original continuous‐time system assuring an upper bound to the quadratic cost of the closed‐loop system. The applicability of the proposed design method is illustrated through a numerical experiment. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the design of optimal output feedback control systems†

For a linear control system with quadratic performance index the optimal control takes a feedback form of all state variables. However, if there are some states which are not fed in the control system, it is impossible to obtain the optimal feedback control by using the usual mathematical optimization technique such as dynamic programming or the maximum principle.

This paper presents the optimal control of output feedback systems for a quadratic performance index by using a new parameter optimization technique.

Since the optimal feedback gains depend on the initial states in the output feedback control system, two cases where (1) the initial states are known, and (2) the statistical properties of initial states such as mean and covariance matrices are known, are considered here. Furthermore, the proposed method for optimal output feedback control is also applied to sampled-data systems.     

Stabilization of uncertain linear systems via observer based state feedback

A unified approach to the stabilization problem using reduced order observer based state feedback is presented for uncertain discrete and continuous systems. The main result states that, for the system class specified, the insensitive observer of Breinl and Müller (1982) may be used together with any state feedback gain matrix designed for quadratic stabilization to asymptotically stabilize the uncertain system via reduced order observer based state feedback. Intermediary results give sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of time-varying one-way connected subsystems.     

Pole assignment for uncertain systems in a specified disk by statefeedback

This paper presents a method for assigning the poles in a specified disk by state feedback for a linear discrete or continuous time uncertain system, the uncertainty being norm bounded. For this the “quadratic d stabilizability” concept which is the counterpart of quadratic stabilizability in the context of pole placement is defined and a necessary and sufficient condition for quadratic d stabilizability derived. This condition expressed as a parameter dependent discrete Riccati equation enables one to design the control gain matrix by solving iteratively a discrete Riccati equation

Quadratic stabilizability of uncertain linear systems: Existence of a nonlinear stabilizing control does not imply existence of a linear stabilizing control

This note is concerned with the problem of stabilizing an uncertain linear system via state feedback control. An uncertain system which admits a stabilizing state feedback control and some associated quadratic Lyapunov function is said to be quadratically stabilizable. In a number of recent papers, conditions are given under which quadratic stabilizability via nonlinear control implies quadratic stabilizability via linear control. These papers restrict the manner in which the uncertain parameters are permitted to enter structurally into the state equation in order to establish this result. This note presents an example which shows that this implication is not true for more general uncertain linear systems. To this end, we describe an uncertain linear system which is quadratically stabilizable via nonlinear control but not quadratically stabilizable via linear control.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stability andstabilizability of uncertain linear time-varying systems

In this paper we consider linear time-varying systems subject to norm bounded, one block, structured uncertainties. First, given an unforced system, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stability; then, considered a controlled system, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stabilizability both for the state and the output feedback case     

Quadratic stability and stabilization of linear systems withFrobenius norm-bounded uncertainties

In this paper, a quadratic stability condition and a quadratic stabilizer are proposed for linear systems with Frobenius norm-bounded uncertainties.

The proposed state feedback quadratic stabilizer can be obtained by solving a Riccati equation     

Quadratic stabilizability of switched linear systems with polytopic uncertainties

In this paper, we consider quadratic stabilizability via state feedback for both continuous-time and discrete-time switched linear systems that are composed of polytopic uncertain subsystems. By state feedback, we mean that the switchings among subsystems are dependent on system states. For continuous-time switched linear systems, we show that if there exists a common positive definite matrix for stability of all convex combinations of the extreme points which belong to different subsystem matrices, then the switched system is quadratically stabilizable via state feedback. For discrete-time switched linear systems, we derive a quadratic stabilizability condition expressed as matrix inequalities with respect to a family of non-negative scalars and a common positive definite matrix. For both continuous-time and discrete-time switched systems, we propose the switching rules by using the obtained common positive definite matrix.     

An optimal guidance approximation theory

Synthesis of optimal guidance approximations is undertaken by means of a perturbation theory approach and a scheme for obtaining linear, quadratic and higher order feedback approximations to the optimal control presented. Mechanization is carried out in terms of state deviations from an optimal reference trajectory with the comparison point along the reference selected so that the state comparison is approximately transverse. A simple example is treated analytically, linear and quadratic feedback expressions obtained, and some digital computer simulation results presented which permit a comparison of system performance and accuracy between various approximations.     

State and mode feedback control strategy for discrete‐time Markovian jump linear systems with time‐varying controllable mode transition probability matrix

In this article, the state and mode feedback control strategy is investigated for the discrete‐time Markovian jump linear system (MJLS) with time‐varying controllable mode transition probability matrix (MTPM). This strategy, consisting of a state feedback controller and a mode feedback controller, is proposed to ensure MJLS's stability and meanwhile improve system performance. First, a mode‐dependent state feedback controller is designed to stabilize the MJLS based on the time‐invariant part of the MTPM such that it can still keep valid even if the MTPM is adjusted by the mode feedback control. Second, a generalized quadratic stabilization cost is put forward for evaluating MJLS's performance, which contains system state, state feedback controller, and mode feedback controller. To reduce the stabilization cost, a mode feedback controller is introduced to adjust each mode's occurrence probability by changing the time‐varying controllable part of MTPM. The calculation of such mode feedback controller is given based on a value‐iteration algorithm with its convergence proof. Compared with traditional state feedback control strategy, this state and mode feedback control strategy offers a new perspective for the control problem of general nonhomogeneous MJLSs. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed strategy.

Partial‐state stabilization and optimal feedback control

In this paper, we develop a unified framework to address the problem of optimal nonlinear analysis and feedback control for partial stability and partial‐state stabilization. Partial asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop nonlinear system is guaranteed by means of a Lyapunov function that is positive definite and decrescent with respect to part of the system state, which can clearly be seen to be the solution to the steady‐state form of the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation and hence guaranteeing both partial stability and optimality. The overall framework provides the foundation for extending optimal linear‐quadratic controller synthesis to nonlinear nonquadratic optimal partial‐state stabilization. Connections to optimal linear and nonlinear regulation for linear and nonlinear time‐varying systems with quadratic and nonlinear nonquadratic cost functionals are also provided. Finally, we also develop optimal feedback controllers for affine nonlinear systems using an inverse optimality framework tailored to the partial‐state stabilization problem and use this result to address polynomial and multilinear forms in the performance criterion.
