Pseudo-predictor feedback stabilization of linear systems with time-varying input delays

This paper is concerned with stabilization of (time-varying) linear systems with a single time-varying input delay by using the predictor based delay compensation approach. Differently from the traditional predictor feedback which uses the open-loop system dynamics to predict the future state and will result in an infinite dimensional controller, we propose in this paper a pseudo-predictor feedback (PPF) approach which uses the (artificial) closed-loop system dynamics to predict the future state and the resulting controller is finite dimensional and is thus easy to implement. Necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system under the PPF are obtained in terms of the stability of a class of integral delay operators (systems). Moreover, it is shown that the PPF can compensate arbitrarily large yet bounded input delays provided the open-loop (time-varying linear) system is only polynomially unstable and the feedback gain is well designed. Comparison of the proposed PPF approach with the existing results is well explored. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Pseudo-Predictor Feedback Control for Multiagent Systems with Both State and Input Delays

This paper is concerned with the consensus problem for high-order continuous-time multiagent systems with both state and input delays. A novel approach referred to as pseudo-predictor feedback protocol is proposed. Unlike the predictor-based feedback protocol which utilizes the open-loop dynamics to predict the future states, the pseudo-predictor feedback protocol uses the closed-loop dynamics of the multiagent systems to predict the future agent states. Full-order/reduced-order observer-based pseudo-predictor feedback protocols are proposed, and it is shown that the consensus is achieved and the input delay is compensated by the proposed protocols. Necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the stability of the integral delay systems are provided in terms of the stability of the series of retarded-type time-delay systems. Furthermore, compared with the existing predictor-based protocols, the proposed pseudo-predictor feedback protocol is independent of the input signals of the neighboring agents and is easier to implement. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.      

Simultaneous compensation of input and state delays for nonlinear systems

The problem of compensation of arbitrary large input delay for nonlinear systems was solved recently with the introduction of the nonlinear predictor feedback. In this paper we solve the problem of compensation of input delay for nonlinear systems with simultaneous input and state delays of arbitrary length. The key challenge, in contrast to the case of only input delay, is that the input delay-free system (on which the design and stability proof of the closed-loop system under predictor feedback are based) is infinite-dimensional. We resolve this challenge and we design the predictor feedback law that compensates the input delay. We prove global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system using two different techniques—one based on the construction of a Lyapunov functional, and one using estimates on solutions. We present two examples, one of a nonlinear delay system in the feedforward form with input delay, and one of a scalar, linear system with simultaneous input and state delays.     

Pseudo‐predictor feedback control of discrete‐time linear systems with a single input delay

This paper studies the problems of stabilization of discrete‐time linear systems with a single input delay. By developing the methodology of pseudo‐predictor feedback, which uses the (artificial) closed‐loop system dynamics to predict the future state, memoryless state feedback control laws are constructed to solve the problem. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the stability of the closed‐loop system in terms of the stability of a class‐difference equations. It is also shown that the proposed controller achieves semi‐global stabilization of the system if its actuator is subject to either magnitude saturation or energy constraints under the condition that the open‐loop system is only polynomially unstable. Numerical examples have been worked out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Stabilization of exponentially unstable discrete-time linear systems by truncated predictor feedback

Predictor state feedback solves the problem of stabilizing a discrete-time linear system with input delay by predicting the future state with the solution of the state equation and thus rendering the closed-loop system free of delay. The solution of the state equation contains a term that is the convolution of the past control input with the state transition matrix. Thus, the implementation of the resulting predictor state feedback law involves iterative calculation of the control signal. A truncated predictor feedback law results when the convolution term in the state prediction is discarded. When the feedback gain is constructed from the solution of a certain parameterized Lyapunov equation, the truncated predictor feedback law has been shown to achieve asymptotic stabilization of a system that is not exponentially unstable in the presence of an arbitrarily large delay by tuning the value of the parameter small enough. In this paper, we extend this result to exponentially unstable systems. Stability analysis leads to a bound on the delay and a range of the values of the parameter for which the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable as long as the delay is within the bound. The corresponding output feedback result is also derived.     

Truncated predictor feedback control for exponentially unstable linear systems with time-varying input delay

The stabilization of exponentially unstable linear systems with time-varying input delay is considered in this paper. We extend the truncated predictor feedback (TPF) design method, which was recently developed for systems with all poles on the closed left-half plane, to be applicable to exponentially unstable linear systems. Assuming that the time-varying delay is known and bounded, the design approach of a time-varying state feedback controller is developed based on the solution of a parametric Lyapunov equation. An explicit condition is derived for which the stability of the closed-loop system with the proposed controller is guaranteed. It is shown that, for the stability of the closed-loop system, the maximum allowable time-delay in the input is inversely proportional to the sum of the unstable poles in the plant. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical examples.     

Observer‐predictor feedback for consensus of discrete‐time multiagent systems with both state and input delays

This article is concerned with the consensus problem for discrete‐time multiagent systems with both state and input delays. Single observer‐predictor‐based protocols and multiple observer‐predictors feedback protocols are simultaneously established to predict the future state such that the input delay that can be arbitrarily large yet bounded is completely compensated. It is shown that the consensus of the multiagent system can be achieved by the single/multiple observer‐predictors feedback protocol. Moreover, sufficient conditions guaranteeing the consensus of the multiagent system are provided in terms of the stability of some simple observer‐error systems, and the separation principle is discovered. Finally, a numerical example is worked out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Predictor-based stabilisation for discrete nonlinear systems with state-dependent input delays

We consider predictor-based stabilisation for discrete nonlinear systems with state-dependent input delays. The key design is how to determine the prediction horizon and the predictor state. Sufficient conditions for stabilisation of the closed-loop system are obtained. An explicit feedback law is presented for compensating state-dependent input delay. Since input delay is dependent on state, a region of attraction is estimated for the closed-loop system. The proposed predictor-based design can be applied in controlling the yaw angular displacement of a four-rotor mini-helicopter.     

Delay compensation for linear systems with both state and distinct input delays

This paper is concerned with the stabilization of linear systems with both state and distinct input delays. Nested predictor feedback controllers are designed to predict the future states such that the distinct input delays that can be arbitrarily large yet bounded are compensated completely. It is shown that the compensated closed‐loop system possesses the same characteristic equation as the closed‐loop system without distinct input delays. Both continuous‐time and discrete‐time time‐delay systems are studied in this paper. Moreover, the safe implementation problem for the continuous‐time nested predictor feedback controller is solved via adding input filters. Three numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

On robustness of predictor feedback control of linear systems with input delays

This paper is concerned with the robustness of the predictor feedback control of linear systems with input delays. By applying certain equivalent transformations on the characteristic equation associated with the closed-loop system, we first transform the robustness problem of a predictor feedback control system into the stability problem of a neutral time-delay system containing an integral operator in the derivative. The range of the allowable input delay for this neutral time-delay system can be computed by exploring its delay dependent stability conditions. In particular, delay dependent stability conditions for the neutral time-delay system are established by partitioning the delay into segments. The conservatism of this method can be reduced when the number of segments in the partition is increased. Numerical examples are worked out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
