Analysis and control of parabolic PDE systems with input constraints

This paper develops a general framework for the analysis and control of parabolic partial differential equations (PDE) systems with input constraints. Initially, Galerkin's method is used for the derivation of ordinary differential equation (ODE) system that capture the dominant dynamics of the PDE system. This ODE systems are then used as the basis for the synthesis, via Lyapunov techniques, of stabilizing bounded nonlinear state and output feedback control laws that provide an explicit characterization of the sets of admissible initial conditions and admissible control actuator locations that can be used to guarantee closed-loop stability in the presence of constraints. Precise conditions that guarantee stability of the constrained closed-loop parabolic PDE system are provided in terms of the separation between the fast and slow eigenmodes of the spatial differential operator. The theoretical results are used to stabilize an unstable steady-state of a diffusion-reaction process using constrained control action.     

Sampled-data H8 state-feedback control of systems with state delays

Sliding mode based feedback control has long been recognized as a powerful, yet easy-to-implement, control method to counteract non-vanishing external disturbances and unmodelled dynamics. Recently, research attention has focused on the development of sliding mode feedback control methods for various classes of infinite-dimensional systems. However, the existing methods are based on the assumption that distributed sensing and actuation is available, which significantly restricts their applicability to distributed process control applications. In this work, a sliding mode output feedback control method is developed for a class of linear infinite-dimensional systems with finite-dimensional unstable part using finite-dimensional sensing and actuation. Modal decomposition is initially used to decompose the original infinite-dimensional system into an interconnection of a finite-dimensional (possibly unstable) system and an infinite-dimensional stable system. Then, a sliding mode-based stabilizing state feedback controller is constructed on the basis of the finite-dimensional system. Subsequently, an infinite-dimensional Luenberger state observer, which utilizes a finite number of measurements, is constructed to provide estimates of the state of the infinite-dimensional system. Finally, an output feedback controller design is completed by coupling the infinite-dimensional Luenberger state observer and the sliding mode-based state feedback controller. Implementation, performance and robustness issues of the sliding-mode output feedback controller are illustrated in a simulation study of a distributed parameter system governed by the linearization around the spatially-uniform steady-state solution of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky partial differential equation with periodic boundary conditions.     

Sliding mode control for time-varying delayed systems based on a reduced-order observer

In this paper, a stabilisation problem for a class of nonlinear systems is considered, where both the nonlinear term and the nonlinear uncertainty are mismatched and subject to time-varying delay. Under the assumption that the delay is known, a reduced-order observer is designed using an appropriate transformation. A sliding surface is proposed in an augmented space formed by the system outputs and the estimated states. The sliding mode dynamics are derived using an equivalent control approach, and the Lyapunov-Razumikhin approach is exploited to analyse the stability of the sliding motion. Then, a sliding mode control law is developed such that the system can be driven to the sliding surface in finite time. A simulation example shows the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Robust integral sliding mode control for uncertain stochastic systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with sliding mode control for uncertain stochastic systems with time-varying delay. Both time-varying parameter uncertainties and an unknown nonlinear function may appear in the controlled system. An integral sliding surface is first constructed. Then, by means of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), a sufficient condition is derived to guarantee the global stochastic stability of the stochastic dynamics in the specified switching surface for all admissible uncertainties. The synthesized sliding mode controller guarantees the reachability of the specified sliding surface. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the proposed method.     

Asymptotic Stabilisation of Multiple Input Nonlinear Systems via Sliding Modes

A dynamic feedback controller design method is proposed for multiple input systems. The method uses a novel choice of sliding surface to effect asymptotic linearisation of nonlinear differential input output systems and a class of state space systems. The stability of the overall system, that is a canonical state space form with a dynamic feedback, is analysed with a generalised Lyapunov approach plus an asymptotic analysis in a neighbourhood of the origin. The nonlinear system does not have to be expressed in regular form as is the case in many other sliding mode control approaches. A type of zero dynamics, which are the dynamics of the control, are involved. The resulting dynamic feedback is shown to provide chatter free control if the system is minimum phase with respect to the zero dynamics. The theoretical results are applied to Gas Jet systems with two controls.     

Fast terminal sliding‐mode finite‐time tracking control with differential evolution optimization algorithm using integral chain differentiator in uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper presents a fast terminal sliding‐mode tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown parameters and system states combined with time‐varying disturbances. Fast terminal sliding‐mode finite‐time tracking systems based on differential evolution algorithms incorporate an integral chain differentiator (ICD) to feedback systems for the estimation of the unknown system states. The differential evolution optimization algorithm using ICD is also applied to a tracking controller, which provides unknown parametric estimation in the limitation of unknown system states for trajectory tracking. The ICD in the tracking systems strengthens the tracking controller robustness for the disturbances by filtering noises. As a powerful finite‐time control effort, the fast terminal sliding‐mode tracking control guarantees that all tracking errors rapidly converge to the origin. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is verified via simulations, and the results exhibit high‐precision output tracking performance in uncertain nonlinear systems.     

Global optimal feedback control for general nonlinear systems with nonquadratic performance criteria

Optimal control of general nonlinear nonaffine controlled systems with nonquadratic performance criteria (that permit state- and control-dependent time-varying weighting parameters), is solved classically using a sequence of linear- quadratic and time-varying problems. The proposed method introduces an “approximating sequence of Riccati equations” (ASRE) to explicitly construct nonlinear time-varying optimal state-feedback controllers for such nonlinear systems. Under very mild conditions of local Lipschitz continuity, the sequences converge (globally) to nonlinear optimal stabilizing feedback controls. The computational simplicity and effectiveness of the ASRE algorithm is an appealing alternative to the tedious and laborious task of solving the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman partial differential equation. So the optimality of the ASRE control is studied by considering the original nonlinear-nonquadratic optimization problem and the corresponding necessary conditions for optimality, derived from Pontryagin's maximum principle. Global optimal stabilizing state-feedback control laws are then constructed. This is compared with the optimality of the ASRE control by considering a nonlinear fighter aircraft control system, which is nonaffine in the control. Numerical simulations are used to illustrate the application of the ASRE methodology, which demonstrate its superior performance and optimality.     

Output feedback sliding mode control under networked environment

This article considers the problem of sliding mode output feedback control for networked control systems (NCSs). The key idea is to make use of not only the current and previous measurements, but also previous inputs for the reconstruction of the state variables. Using this idea, sliding mode controllers are designed for systems with constant or time-varying network delay. The approach is not only more practical but also easy to implement. To illustrate this, the design technique is applied to an inverted pendulum system.

Stabilisation of time-varying linear systems via Lyapunov differential equations

This article studies stabilisation problem for time-varying linear systems via state feedback. Two types of controllers are designed by utilising solutions to Lyapunov differential equations. The first type of feedback controllers involves the unique positive-definite solution to a parametric Lyapunov differential equation, which can be solved when either the state transition matrix of the open-loop system is exactly known, or the future information of the system matrices are accessible in advance. Different from the first class of controllers which may be difficult to implement in practice, the second type of controllers can be easily implemented by solving a state-dependent Lyapunov differential equation with a given positive-definite initial condition. In both cases, explicit conditions are obtained to guarantee the exponentially asymptotic stability of the associated closed-loop systems. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Sliding mode control for uncertain nonlinear systems with multiple inputs containing sector nonlinearities and deadzones.

In this paper, we investigate a novel robust control approach for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with multiple inputs containing sector nonlinearities and deadzones. Sliding mode control (SMC) is suggested to design stabilizing controllers for these uncertain nonlinear systems. The controllers guarantee the global reaching condition of the sliding mode in these systems. They can work effectively for systems either with or without sector nonlinearities and deadzones in the inputs. Moreover, the controllers ensure that the system trajectories globally exponentially converge to the sliding mode. Illustrative examples are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed sliding mode controller.     

A new periodic adaptive control approach for time-varying parameters with known periodicity

A new adaptive control approach is proposed to deal with nonlinear systems with a class of time-varying parametric uncertainties, which are in an unknown compact set, periodic, nonvanishing, rapid time-varying, and the only prior knowledge is the periodicity. Unlike most continuous time adaptation laws which are of differential types, in this work a periodic type adaptation law is introduced for continuous time systems. The new adaptive controller updates the parameters and the control signal periodically in a pointwise manner over one entire period, in the sequel achieves the asymptotic tracking convergence.

Event-Triggered Sliding Mode Control for Trajectory Tracking of Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, an event-triggered sliding mode control approach for trajectory tracking problem of nonlinear input affine system with disturbance has been proposed. A second order robotic manipulator system has been modeled into a general nonlinear input affine system. Initially, the global asymptotic stability is ensured with conventional periodic sampling approach for reference trajectory tracking. Then the proposed approach of event-triggered sliding mode control is discussed which guarantees semi-global uniform ultimate boundedness. The proposed control approach guarantees non-accumulation of control updates ensuring lower bounds on inter-event triggering instants avoiding Zeno behavior in presence of the disturbance. The system shows better performance in terms of reduced control updates, ensures system stability which further guarantees optimization of resource usage and cost. The simulation results are provided for validation of proposed methodology for tracking problem by a robotic manipulator. The number of aperiodic control updates is found to be approximately 44% and 61% in the presence of constant and time-varying disturbances respectively.
