Guaranteed cost observer-based control of uncertain time-lag systems

This paper investigates the design of robust observer-based controllers for a class of uncertain linear time-lag systems. The uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. We extend the previous results on quadratic-cost control to the case of observer-based control for uncertain systems with unknown state and input time-lags. By introducing an appropriate definition of quadratic stability for uncertain time-lag systems, it is shown that observer-based controllers can be constructed via solutions of linear-matrix inequalities. A simulation example is given to illustrate the theoretical developments.     

Guaranteed cost control for multi-inventory systems with uncertain demand

In this paper we consider the problem of controlling a multi-inventory system in the presence of uncertain demand. The demand is unknown but bounded in an assigned compact set. The control input is assumed to be also constrained in a compact set. We consider an integral cost function of the buffer levels and we face the problem of minimizing the worst-case cost. We show that the optimal cost of a suitable auxiliary problem with no uncertainties is always an upper bound for the original problem. In the special case of minimum-time control, this upper bound is tight, namely its optimal cost is equal to the worst-case cost for the original system. Furthermore, the result is constructive, since the optimal control law can be explicitly computed.

Guaranteed cost control for saturated uncertain linear systems

In this paper, we discuss the problem of guaranteed cost control for uncertain linear systems subject to actuator saturation. Based on the quadratic and non-quadratic Lyapunov functions, sufficient conditions for the robust stability and performance are derived. Moreover, all the conditions can be expressed as linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） or bilinear matrix inequalities （BMIs） in terms of the feedback gain. Thus, the static controller can be effectively synthesized via convex optimization. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the method.

Guaranteed cost PID control for uncertain discrete‐time stochastic systems with additive gain perturbations

This paper investigates a novel design method for robust nonfragile proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) control that is based on the guaranteed cost control (GCC) problem for a class of uncertain discrete‐time stochastic systems with additive gain perturbations. On the basis of linear matrix inequality (LMI), a class of fixed PID controller parameters is obtained, and some sufficient conditions for the existence of the GCC are derived. Although the additive gain perturbations are included in the feedback systems, both the stability of closed‐loop systems and adequate cost bound are attained. As a sequel, decentralized GCC PID for a class of discrete‐time uncertain large‐scale stochastic systems is also considered. Finally, the numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed controller synthesis. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society

The paper extends the robust minimax LQG control design methodology to stochastic uncertain systems with a general uncertainty structure, which includes normalized coprime factor uncertainty, passive uncertainty and sector norm-bounded uncertainty as special cases. The derivation of the result uses a special parameter-dependent Girsanov measure transformation. The efficacy of the proposed methodology is illustrated using the problem of frequency locking of an optical cavity which occurs in the area of experimental quantum optics.     

Guaranteed cost output control for uncertain neutral systems with time-varying delays via LMI

In this paper, the robust guaranteed cost output control for a class of uncertain neutral system with time-varying delays is considered. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional theory, some stabilization criteria are derived and guaranteed costs are given. Delay-dependent and delay-independent criteria are proposed for the stabilization of the system. Static output linear feedback control is considered to stabilize the uncertain neutral system. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach and parametrizing transformation approach are used to solve the stabilization problems. A procedure for the controller design is provided. Optimal guaranteed cost output control will be achieved when the optimization problem under LMI conditions can be solved. Finally, two numerical examples are illustrated to show the use of the results.     

Robust output feedback stabilization of uncertain dynamic systems with bounded controllers

We propose a new class of infinitely many bounded output feedback controllers for uncertain dynamic systems with bounded uncertainties. No statistical information about the uncertainties is assumed. A variable structure systems approach is employed in the synthesis of the proposed output feedback controllers. The role of the system zeros in the output feedback stabilization using the variable structure approach is discussed. We show that the proposed controllers guarantee the practical stability of the closed-loop system and give estimates of the regions of practical stability.

Robust stability of feedback control systems with uncertain parameters and unmodeled dynamics

Recent results on a generalization of Kharitonov’s interval polynomial problem allow linearly dependent perturbations in the coefficients of a polynomial, and the main objective is to provide computationally tractable criteria for robust stability. In this paper robust-stability criteria are provided in an even more general setting—one which also accommodates unmodeled dynamics. In addition, the test given for robust stability totally avoids so-called “edge combinatorics,” greatly facilitating numerical computation.

Guaranteed cost control of switched systems with neutral delay via dynamic output feedback

This article is concerned with the problem of cost-guaranteed dynamic output feedback (DOF) control for a class of continuous-time linear switched system with both discrete and neutral delays. By using the average dwell time approach and the piecewise Lyapunov function technique, a sufficient condition is first proposed, in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), to guarantee the exponential stability and a certain bound for the cost function of the closed-loop system, where the decay estimate is explicitly given to quantify the convergence rate. Then, the corresponding solvability conditions for a desired DOF controller under guaranteed cost are established by using the approach of linearising variable transforms. Since these obtained conditions are not all expressed by strict LMIs, the cone complementary linearisation method is exploited to cast them into sequential minimisation problems subject to LMI constraints, which can be easily solved numerically. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theory.     

Positive real control problem for uncertain linear time-invariant systems

This paper focuses on positive real control of linear time-invariant systems which are subjected to norm-bounded uncertainties in the state equation. We address the problem of designing a linear dynamic output feedback controller that robustly stabilizes the uncertain system and achieves the extended strict positive realness property for a given closed-loop transfer function. It is shown that a solution to the above problem can be obtained by solving a scaled strict positive real control problem for which no parameter uncertainty occurs.     

Fault diagnosis of a class of nonlinear uncertain systems with Lipschitz nonlinearities using adaptive estimation

This paper presents a fault detection and isolation (FDI) scheme for a class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems with nonlinear and unstructured modeling uncertainty. This significantly extends previous results by considering a more general class of system nonlinearities which are modeled as functions of the system input and partially measurable state variables. A new FDI method is developed using adaptive estimation techniques. The FDI architecture consists of a fault detection estimator and a bank of fault isolation estimators. The fault detectability and isolability conditions, characterizing the class of faults that are detectable and isolable by the proposed scheme, are rigorously established. The fault isolability condition is derived via the so-called fault mismatch functions, which are defined to characterize the mutual difference between pairs of possible faults. A simulation example of a single-link flexible joint robot is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Guaranteeing cost strategies for linear quadratic differential games under uncertain dynamics

This paper deals with the design of closed loop strategies for a class of two players zero-sum linear quadratic differential games, where each player does not know exactly the state equation and model it through a system subject to norm-bounded uncertainties. The finite horizon and the infinite horizon problems are both solved: it turns out that the optimal strategies, guaranteeing to each player a given level of performance, require, to be evaluated, the solution of two scaled differential (algebraic in the infinite horizon case) Riccati equations. A numerical example illustrates an application of the proposed technique.
