This paper presents a new method for the modeling and control of the output probability density functions (PDFs) of linear stochastic systems. At first, a new PDF approximation method, namely the rational square-root B-spline model is proposed and the innovative concept of pseudoweights is introduced. The new model is then compared with the existing B-spline models in terms of feasible domains. Next, a controller is developed to realize the output PDF tracking performance. An alternative minimal entropy control strategy is also provided for the case that no target PDF is available. Finally, illustrative examples indicate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.

A predictive control strategy is proposed for the shaping of the output probability density function (PDF) of linear stochastic systems. The B-spline neural network is used to set up the output PDF model and therefore converts the PDF-shaping into the control of B-spline weights vector. The Diophantine equation is then introduced to formulate the predictive PDF model, based on which a moving-horizon control algorithm is developed so as to realize the predictive PDF tracking performance.

Constrained discrete-time PI controller design for output PDFs of stochastic systems with time delays

This article presents a new proportional-integral (PI) tracking control strategy for non-Gaussian stochastic systems based on a square root B-spline model for the output probability density functions (PDFs). Following the square root B-spline approximation to the measured output PDF, a non-linear discrete-time dynamical model can be established between the control input and the weights related to the PDFs. It is noted that the PDF tracking is transformed to a constrained dynamical tracking control problem for weight dynamics. For the non-linear discrete-time weight model including time-delay terms and exogenous disturbances, convex linear matrix inequality optimisation algorithms are used to design a generalised PI controller such that stabilisation, state constraint and tracking performance can be guaranteed simultaneously. Furthermore, in order to enhance the robustness, the peak-to-peak measure index is applied to optimise the tracking performance. Simulations are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

Probability density function of bubble size based reagent dosage predictive control for copper roughing flotation

As an effective measurement indicator of bubble stability, bubble size structure is believed to be closely related to flotation performance in copper roughing flotation. Moreover, reagent dosage has a very important influence on bubble size structure. In this paper, a novel reagent dosage predictive control method based on probability density function (PDF) of bubble size is proposed to implement the indices of roughing circuit. Firstly, the froth images captured in the copper roughing are segmented by using a two-pass watershed algorithm. In order to characterize bubble size structure with non-Gaussian feature, an entropy based B-spline estimator is hence investigated to depict the PDF of the bubble size. Since the weights of B-spline are interrelated and related to the reagent dosage, a multi-output least square support vector machine (MLS-SVM) is applied to depict a dynamic relationship between the weights and the reagent dosage. Finally, an entropy based optimization algorithm is proposed to determine reagent dosage in order to implement tracking control for the PDF of the output bubble size. Experimental results can show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

PID controller design for output PDFs of stochastic systems using linear matrix inequalities

This paper presents a pseudo proportional-integral-derivative (PID) tracking control strategy for general non-Gaussian stochastic systems based on a linear B-spline model for the output probability density functions (PDFs). The objective is to control the conditional PDFs of the system output to follow a given target function. Different from existing methods, the control structure (i.e., the PID) is imposed before the output PDF controller design. Following the linear B-spline approximation on the measured output PDFs, the concerned problem is transferred into the tracking of given weights which correspond to the desired PDF. For systems with or without model uncertainties, it is shown that the solvability can be casted into a group of matrix inequalities. Furthermore, an improved controller design procedure based on the convex optimization is proposed which can guarantee the required tracking convergence with an enhanced robustness. Simulations are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach and encouraging results have been obtained.     

Stochastic Distribution Control of Singular Systems: Output PDF Shaping

This paper presents a new algorithm designed to control the shape of the output probability density function (PDF) of singular systems subjected to non-Gaussian input. The aim is to select a control input uk such that the output PDF is made as close as possible to a given PDF. Based on the B-spline neural network approximation of the output PDF, the control algorithm is formulated by extending the developed PDF control strategies of non-singular systems to singular systems. It has been shown that under certain conditions the stability of the closed-loop system can be guaranteed. Simulation examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.     

Generalized discrete-time PI control of output PDFs using square root B-spline expansion

A new control approach is proposed for the probability density function (PDF) control of non-Gaussian stochastic systems using PI controllers.

Robust fault diagnosis for non-Gaussian stochastic systems based on the rational square-root approximation model

The task of robust fault detection and diagnosis of stochastic distribution control （SDC） systems with uncertainties is to use the measured input and the system output PDFs to still obtain possible faults information of the system. Using the rational square-root B-spline model to represent the dynamics between the output PDF and the input, in this paper, a robust nonlinear adaptive observer-based fault diagnosis algorithm is presented to diagnose the fault in the dynamic part of such systems with model uncertainties. When certain conditions are satisfied, the weight vector of the rational square-root B-spline model proves to be bounded. Conver- gency analysis is performed for the error dynamic system raised from robust fault detection and fault diagnosis phase. Computer simulations are given to demon- strate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.     

Statistic PID tracking control for non-Gaussian stochastic systems based on T-S fuzzy model

A new robust proportional-integral-derivative （PID） tracking control framework is considered for stochastic systems with non-Gaussian variable based on B-spline neural network approximation and T-S fuzzy model identification. The tracked object is the statistical information of a given target probability density function （PDF）, rather than a deterministic signal. Following B-spline approximation to the integrated performance function, the concerned problem is transferred into the tracking of given weights. Different from the previous related works, the time delay T-S fuzzy models with the exogenous disturbances are applied to identify the nonlinear weighting dynamics. Meanwhile, the generalized PID controller structure and the improved convex linear matrix inequalities （LMI） algorithms are proposed to fulfil the tracking problem. Furthermore, in order to enhance the robust performance, the peak-to-peak measure index is applied to optimize the tracking performance. Simulations are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.     

Fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control for non-Gaussian time-delayed singular stochastic distribution systems

Stochastic distribution control (SDC) is a new branch of stochastic system control that the system output is the probability density function (PDF) of the output. In practice, some algebraic relations exist between the input and the weights of SDC systems, leading to a singular state space model between the weights and the control input which increases the complexity of the system. The ignorance of time delay in practical systems will make the effectiveness of the fault diagnosis (FD) and fault tolerant control (FTC) be reduced. In this paper, the linear B-spline basis functions are used to approximate the output PDF. A FD approach based on the adaptive observer is established to diagnose the size of fault in the singular time-delayed SDC system. With the fault diagnosis information, a fault tolerant controller based on PI tracking control scheme is constructed to make the post-fault PDF still track the given distribution. The post-fault closed-loop stability analysis with the practical fault tolerant controller is carried out based on the Lyapunov stability theorem. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Stochastic controller as an active queue management based on B-spline kernel observer via particle swarm optimization

Given the fact that the current Internet is getting more difficult in handling the traffic congestion control, the proposed method is compatible with the stochastic nature of network dynamics. Most conventional active queue management is based on the first stochastic moment. In stochastic theory, the first moment is not efficient for non-Gaussian systems that are the same as the network queue size. We propose a new stochastic active queue management technique, based on stochastic control and B-spline window observer, called intelligent probability density function AQM (IPDF-AQM). The IPDF-AQM is based on a PDF control and particle swarm optimization, which not only considers the average queue length at the current time slot, but also takes into consideration the PDF of queue lengths within a round-trip time. We provide a guideline for the selection of the probability of dropping as control input for TCP/AQM system to make the PDF of queue length converge at a certain PDF target based on B-spline approximation and improve the network performance. Simulation results show that the proposed stochastic AQM scheme does improve the end-to-end performance.

Fault Detection Based On Online Probability Density Function Estimation

This study presents a new fault detection scheme based on the probability density function (PDF) of system output. Unlike the classical fault detection and diagnosis methods, in the proposed method, distribution of the system output is estimated online. To achieve this goal, an algorithm is introduced to estimate PDF online using fuzzy logic. Furthermore, convergence of this algorithm is investigated. Then, a residual is constructed that can show the existence of a fault in the system. The main advantages of the proposed method are robustness against measurement noise, even though it does not need the exact model and measured data of inputs and states. Simulation results show that this scheme can detect abrupt faults very well.
