The design of deadbeat controllers by state transition graph

Two kinds of deadbeat control problems are considered. One is the state deadbeat control problem and the other is the pointwise minimum-time deadbeat control problem. A simple graph called the state transition graph of a matrix is introduced, and simple algorithms based on it giving deadbeat controllers are presented. The set of pointwise minimum-time deadbeat controllers is characterized. The set of output feedback deadbeat controller is also considered     

Double objective optimal multivariable ripple-free deadbeat control

This paper presents novel results on optimal multivariable deadbeat control. Given a discrete-time, stable, linear, time invariant plant model, we give a simple parameterization of all stabilizing ripple-free deadbeat controllers of a given order. The free parameter is then optimized in the sense that a quadratic index is kept minimal. The optimality criterion has the advantage of accounting for both tracking performance and magnitude of the control effort. The proposed design procedure is simple to use and allows the tuning of the controller with a scalar weighting factor. Simulation results are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design algorithm.     

Optimal pole placement design for SISO discrete-time systems

In this paper, we incorporate the placement of one real closed-loop pole into a compensator design framework based upon the Youla parameterization, duality theory, and linear programming. This framework has been used to design discrete-time compensators to solve the l₁ controller design problem as well as other related time-domain optimization problems. Previous work on these problems has focused on deadbeat systems. It is known that these can require high-order controllers. Part of the motivation for this work is to improve the tradeoff between controller order and performance over that, using deadbeat control     

A note on parameterization of the class of deadbeat controllers

The problem of parameterizing the class of deadbeat controllers for a given discrete-time system through the minimum number of parameters was solved by Schlegel [1]. This note shows how to utilize the above solution to study some problems in designing deadbeat controllers. First, an algorithm is developed to compute a controller which minimizes-in an average sense-a given objective function. Second, a necessary and sufficient condition is given for the existence of an output deadbeat controller. Finally, the problem of parameterizing the set of deadbeat controllers for those systems transformable to the phase-variable block-canonical form is reconsidered.     

On deadbeat controllers

The possibility of achieving a deadbeat regulation and tracking in linear multivariable systems independently of their initial conditions is investigated. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of various deadbeat controllers are established in a constructive way. A detailed analysis of the control sequence generated by any deadbeat controller is then presented.     

Parametrization of all ripple-free deadbeat controllers

This paper is concerned with deadbeat control in sampled-data systems. Deadbeat control achieves finite-time settling (deadbeat settling) at sampling instants, but there may exist error called ripple “between” sampling instants even after the response is settled “at” sampling instants. The objective of this paper is to give a parametrization of all ripple-free deadbeat controllers (controllers which achieve deadbeat settling without ripple) in sampled-data systems. It is also shown that the following holds in general: minimum-time deadbeat control causes ripple when the pulse transfer function to be controlled has stable zeros.     

Deadbeat control with disturbance rejection

A deadbeat control problem with disturbance rejection is considered for a SISO discrete time plant. Disturbances are supposed to enter into the input to the plant and the output from the plant. The two-degree-of-freedom controllers are employed to internally stabilize the feedback control system, to make the output of the plant track a reference signal and to reject the disturbances in the sense of the deadbeat response. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem to have a solution are shown. And the set of all controllers meeting the design requirements are represented using two free polynomials.     

Continuous-time deadbeat control for sampled-data systems

In this paper, the continuous-time deadbeat control problem for the sampled-data systems is considered. We derived the class of all controllers that achieve the continuous-time deadbeat control

Stabilizing and deadbeat properties of receding-horizon controllers

It is shown that receding-horizon controllers with horizon length N ≥ v (v being the controllability index of the system) stabilize a given discrete-time linear multi-variable system. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a receding-horizon controller to be a deadbeat controller are also given. It is further shown that by modifying a receding-horizon controller m of the poles of the closed-loop system (where m is the dimension of the input space) can be assigned to zero with simultaneous stabilization. The deadbeat properties of such modified receding-horizon controllers are also investigated,     

A state-space approach to parameterization of stabilizingcontrollers for nonlinear systems

A state-space approach to the Youla parameterization of stabilizing controllers for linear and nonlinear systems is suggested. The stabilizing controllers (or a class of stabilizing controllers for nonlinear systems) are characterized as fractional transformations of stable parameters. The main idea behind this approach is to decompose the output feedback stabilization problem into state feedback and state estimation problems. The parameterized output feedback controllers have separation structures. This machinery allows the parameterization of stabilizing controllers to be conducted directly in state space without using coprime factorization     

Decentralized stable factors and a parameterization ofdecentralized controllers

Decentralized stable factors (DSF) are used to extend the stable factorization approach to the design of decentralized controllers. The DSF allow a parameterization of all the stabilizing decentralized controllers in the form of a Youla parameterization. A decentralized controller serves as the central controller, and the Youla parameter has a particular structure and must satisfy an interaction constraint. This parameterization encompasses several other parameterization results on decentralized control systems     

Deadbeat control of linear multivariable generalized state-spacesystems

The classic idea of deadbeat control is extended to linear multivariable discrete-time generalized state-space systems using algebraic methods. The asymptotic properties of the linear quadratic regulator theory are used to obtain the classes of deadbeat controllers using stabilizing full semistate feedback. The solution is constructed from a `cheap control' problem. Both semistate and output deadbeat control laws are considered. The main design criteria are to drive the semistate and/or outputs of the system to zero in minimum time and that the closed-loop system be internally stable. Unique properties of these types of control laws are discussed. For semistate deadbeat control, all the (dynamic) poles including the ones at infinity are moved to the origin, whereas for output deadbeat, some of the finite transmission zeros are canceled. Numerically reliable algorithms are developed to solve both problems     

Ripple-free deadbeat control of SISO discrete systems

The ripple-free deadbeat control problem for arbitrary (not necessarily stable) SISO linear discrete plants and reference signals is treated. It is established that a causal, stabilizing ripple-free deadbeat controller exists if and only if the zeros of the plant and the poles of the reference signal are disjoint, and a complete characterization of all such controllers is obtained. Solutions to two illustrative problems are presented.     

Minimum-gain minimum-time deadbeat controllers

This paper considers the design of minimum-gain minimum-time deadbeat controllers (MGMTDC) for linear discrete-time systems. A new direct method for constructing the MGMTDC of minimum Frobenius norm is developed. Compared with many existing techniques, the proposed method gives analytic expressions for the constructed MGMTDC, requires less computational effort, and does not require that the transition matrix be nonsingular.     

Controller parameterization for SISO and MIMO plants with time delay

Controller parameterization is a very fundamental problem in control theory. It provides an elegant and efficient way towards solving the stabilizing and design problem, with which all stabilizing controllers are characterized and thus a constrained design procedure can be replaced by an unconstrained optimization. In this paper we deal with the problem of characterizing all stabilizing controllers for single-input/single-output (SISO) plants with time delay and multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) plants with multiple time delays. A new parameterization is derived on the basis of the definition of the internal stability. The new parameterization does not depend on the coprime factorization of the plant and has similar form to that of the Youla parameterization for stable plants. An important merit of the proposed parameterization is that it reflects the internal model control (IMC) structure and thus has a very simple relationship to the sensitivity function and complementary sensitivity function. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed parameterization.     

Robust ripple-free deadbeat control design

This paper deals with the design of ripple-free deadbeat controllers with performance or performance robustness optimized over controllers within a prescribed settling time. The performance objective of interest is the minimization of the maximum absolute tracking error. This leads to consider linfinity optimization problems. On the contrary, the optimization of the performance robustness leads to consider l1 optimization problems. An example is provided to illustrate the results.     

Dynamical compensation for discrete singular systems

By utilizing the results of state feedback and state observers for singular systems, this paper studies the existence and design methods of dynamic compensators and deadbeat controllers for discrete singular systems.     

Parameterization of the class of deadbeat controllers via thetheory of decoupling

A novel approach is presented for parameterizing the class of minimum-time deadbeat controllers (MTDC) through the minimum number of parameters. The approach is based on the theory of decoupling and the properties of square decouplable systems. The main result is a compact parametric form for the class of MTDC of a discrete-time system. Contrary to many existing techniques, no special assumption on the invertibility of the transition matrix is required
