Successive approximation approach of optimal control for nonlinear discrete-time systems

A successive approximation approach designing optimal controller is developed for affine nonlinear discrete-time systems with a quadratic performance index. By using this approach the original optimal control problem is transformed into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value (TPBV) problems. The optimal control law consists of an accurate linear term and a nonlinear compensating term which is the limit of a sequence of adjoint vectors. By taking a finite-time iteration instead of the limit of the sequence of adjoint vectors, we obtain a suboptimal control law. Simulation examples are employed to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm.

OPTIMAL REJECTION WITH ZERO STEADY‐STATE ERROR OF SINUSOIDAL DISTURBANCES FOR TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS

This paper studies the problem of optimal rejection with zero steady‐state error of sinusoidal disturbances for linear systems with time‐delay. Based on the internal model principle, a disturbance compensator is constructed to counterbalance the external sinusoidal disturbances, so that the original system can be transformed into an augmented system without disturbances. Then, with the introduction of a sensitivity parameter and expanding power series around it, the optimal disturbance rejection problem can be simplified to the problem of solving an infinite sum of a linear optimal control series without time‐delay or disturbance. The optimal control law for disturbance rejection with zero steady‐state error consists of accurate linear state feedback terms and a time‐delay compensating term, which is an infinite sum of an adjoint vector series. In the presented approach, iteration is required only for the time‐delay compensation series. By intercepting a finite sum of the compensation series, we obtain an approximate physically realizable optimal control law that avoids complex calculation. A numerical simulation shows that the algorithm is effective and easy to implement.

An iterative method for suboptimal control of linear time-delayed systems

This article presents a new approach for solving the Optimal Control Problem (OCP) of linear time-delay systems with a quadratic cost functional. The proposed method can also be used for designing optimal control time-delay systems with disturbance. In this study, the Variational Iteration Method (VIM) is employed to convert the original Time-Delay Optimal Control Problem (TDOCP) into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value problems (TPBVPs). The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate linear feedback term and a nonlinear compensation term which is the limit of an adjoint vector sequence. The feedback term is determined by solving Riccati matrix differential equation. By using the finite-step iteration of a nonlinear compensation sequence, we can obtain a suboptimal control law. Finally, Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique.     

An iterative method for suboptimal control of a class of nonlinear time-delayed systems

This work presents an approximate solution method for the infinite-horizon nonlinear time-delay optimal control problem. A variational iteration method (VIM) is applied to design feedforward and feedback optimal controllers. By using the VIM, the original optimal control is transformed into a sequence of nonhomogeneous linear two-point boundary value problems (TPBVPs). The existence and uniqueness of the optimal control law are proved. The optimal control law obtained consists of an accurate linear feedback term and a nonlinear compensation term which is the limit of an adjoint vector sequence. The feedback term is determined by solving Riccati matrix differential equation. By using the finite-step iteration of a nonlinear compensation sequence, we can obtain a suboptimal control law. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and applicability of the VIM.     

Optimal disturbance rejection control for singularly perturbed composite systems with time‐delay

The optimal control problem for a class of singularly perturbed time‐delay composite systems affected by external disturbances is investigated. The system is decomposed into a fast linear subsystem and a slow time‐delay subsystem with disturbances. For the slow subsystem, the feedforward compensation technique is proposed to reject the disturbances, and the successive approximation approach (SAA) is applied to decompose it into decoupled subsystems and solve the two‐point boundary value (TPBV) problem. By combining with the optimal control law of the fast subsystem, the feedforward and feedback composite control (FFCC) law of the original composite system is obtained. The FFCC law consists of analytic state feedback and feedforward terms and a compensation term which is the limit of the adjoint vector sequence. The compensation term can be obtained from an iteration formula of adjoint vectors. Simulation results are employed to test the validity of the proposed design algorithm.

OPTIMAL TRACKING CONTROL FOR DISCRETE TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS WITH PERSISTENT DISTURBANCES

Optimal tracking control (OTC) for discrete time‐delay systems affected by persistent disturbances with quadratic performance indexes is considered. Optimal tracking controller is designed based on a sensitivity approximation approach. By introducing a sensitivity parameter, we transform the original OTC problem into a series of difference equations without time‐advance on time‐delay terms. The obtained OTC law consists of analytic feedback and feedforward terms, and a compensation term, which is the sum of the infinite series of adjoint vectors. The compensation term can be obtained with an iterated formula for the adjoint vectors. A simulation example shows that the approximation approach is effective in tracking the reference input and robust with respect to exogenous persistent disturbances.     

非线性互联大系统的最优控制:逐次逼近法

The optimal control problem for nonlinear interconnected large-scale dynamic systems is considered. A successive approximation approach for designing the optimal controller is proposed with respect to quadratic performance indexes.

It is proven that the TPBV problem sequence uniformly converges to the optimal control for nonlinear interconnected large-scale systems. A suboptimal control law is obtained by using a finite iterative result of the optimal control sequence.

A trajectory‐based method for constructing null controllable regions

The problem of determining a system's set of stabilizable states, the null controllable region (NCR), is intricately related to the problem of determining control Lyapunov functions. In this paper, we address the problem of construction of the NCR for control‐affine nonlinear systems with input constraints. To this end, we explain how the boundary of the NCR is covered by time‐optimal trajectories. To construct the NCR, we employ an algorithm based on Pontryagin's minimum principle, which integrates optimal trajectories of a special smooth system in reverse time from the boundary of an initial NCR estimate. We illustrate this algorithm with linear and nonlinear system examples.
