Squaring the circle: An algorithm for generating polyhedral invariant sets from ellipsoidal ones

This paper presents a new (geometrical) approach to the computation of polyhedral (robustly) positively invariant (PI) sets for general (possibly discontinuous) nonlinear discrete-time systems possibly affected by disturbances. Given a β-contractive ellipsoidal set , the key idea is to construct a polyhedral set that lies between the ellipsoidal sets and . A proof that the resulting polyhedral set is contractive and thus, PI, is given, and a new algorithm is developed to construct the desired polyhedral set. The problem of computing polyhedral invariant sets is formulated as a number of quadratic programming (QP) problems. The number of QP problems is guaranteed to be finite and therefore, the algorithm has finite termination. An important application of the proposed algorithm is the computation of polyhedral terminal constraint sets for model predictive control based on quadratic costs.

Hybrid Fuzzy Modelling for Model Predictive Control

Model predictive control (MPC) has become an important area of research and is also an approach that has been successfully used in many industrial applications. In order to implement a MPC algorithm, a model of the process we are dealing with is needed. Due to the complex hybrid and nonlinear nature of many industrial processes, obtaining a suitable model is often a difficult task. In this paper a hybrid fuzzy modelling approach with a compact formulation is introduced. The hybrid system hierarchy is explained and the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy formulation for the hybrid fuzzy modelling purposes is presented. An efficient method for identifying the hybrid fuzzy model is also proposed. A MPC algorithm suitable for systems with discrete inputs is treated. The benefits of the MPC algorithm employing the hybrid fuzzy model are verified on a batch-reactor simulation example: a comparison between the proposed modern intelligent (fuzzy) approach and a classic (linear) approach was made. It was established that the MPC algorithm employing the proposed hybrid fuzzy model clearly outperforms the approach where a hybrid linear model is used, which justifies the usability of the hybrid fuzzy model. The hybrid fuzzy formulation introduces a powerful model that can faithfully represent hybrid and nonlinear dynamics of systems met in industrial practice, therefore, this approach demonstrates a significant advantage for MPC resulting in a better control performance.

Constrained stabilization of continuous-time linear systems

In this paper we consider the stabilization problem for linear continuous-time systems, under state and control constraints. We show that the largest domain of attraction to the origin can be arbitrarily closely approximated by a polyhedral domain of attraction associated to a certain (continuous) feedback stabilizing control and we show how to use existing numeric procedures for discrete-time systems to solve the continuous-time problem. We propose a new discontinuous stabilizing control law for scalar-input systems which has the advantage of being successfully applicable to systems with quantized control.

Offline Robust Model Predictive Control for Lipschitz Non‐Linear Systems Using Polyhedral Invariant Sets

In this paper the concept of maximal admissible set (MAS) for linear systems with polytopic uncertainty is extended to non‐linear systems composed of a linear constant part followed by a non‐linear term. We characterize the maximal admissible set for the non‐linear system with unstructured uncertainty in the form of polyhedral invariant sets. A computationally efficient state‐feedback RMPC law is derived off‐line for Lipschitz non‐linear systems. The state‐feedback control law is calculated by solving a convex optimization problem within the framework of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which leads to guaranteeing closed‐loop robust stability. Most of the computational burdens are moved off‐line. A linear optimization problem is performed to characterize the maximal admissible set, and it is shown that an ellipsoidal invariant set is only an approximation of the true stabilizable region. This method not only remarkably extends the size of the admissible set of initial conditions but also greatly reduces the on‐line computational time. The usefulness and effectiveness of the method proposed here is verified via two simulation examples.

Stabilization of max-plus-linear systems using model predictive control: The unconstrained case

Max-plus-linear (MPL) systems are a class of event-driven nonlinear dynamic systems that can be described by models that are “linear” in the max-plus algebra. In this paper we derive a solution to a finite-horizon model predictive control (MPC) problem for MPL systems where the cost is designed to provide a trade-off between minimizing the due date error and a just-in-time production. In general, MPC can deal with complex input and states constraints. However, in this paper we assume that these are not present and it is only required that the input should be a nondecreasing sequence, i.e. we consider the “unconstrained” case. Despite the fact that the controlled system is nonlinear, by employing recent results in max-plus theory we are able to provide sufficient conditions such that the MPC controller is determined analytically and moreover the stability in terms of Lyapunov and in terms of boundedness of the closed-loop system is guaranteed a priori.

Nonlinear Adaptive Model Predictive Control of Constrained Systems with Offset‐Free Tracking Behavior

In this paper, a nonlinear model‐based predictive control strategy for constrained systems based on an adaptive neural network (NN) predictor is proposed. The proposed controller is robust against the model uncertainties and external bounded disturbances. Moreover, it provides offset‐free tracking behavior using the adaptive structure in the model. Based on the uncertainties bounds, the restriction of the system constraints causes robust feasibility and stability of the closed‐loop system. It is shown that the output of the NN predictor converges to the system output. Moreover, offset‐free behavior of the closed‐loop system is investigated using the Lyapunov theorem. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method as compared to the recently proposed model predictive control methods in the literature.

网络信息模式下分布式系统协调预测控制

工业系统中广泛存在一类由多个相互关联的子系统组成的大系统. 尽管分布式控制结构的性能没有集中式控制好,但由于其具有较高的灵活性和容错性,相对于集中控制更加适合控制上述系统.在保持容错性的情况下如何提高系统的整体性能是分布式控制的一个难点问题.本文提出了一种分布式预测控制(Distributed model predictive control, DMPC)方法,该方法通过在各子系统预测控制器的性能指标中加入输入变量对其下游子系统的影响的二次函数,来扩大分布式预测控制的协调度,进而在不增加网络连通度,不改变系统容错性的前提下,提高系统的性能.另外,本文给出了基于该协调策略的带输入约束的分布式预测控制器的设计方法,在初始可行的前提下,该方法相继可行并可保证系统渐近稳定.     

非线性预测控制终端约束集的优化

为保证预测控制的稳定性, 经典的策略是在预测控制的优化问题中加入终端约束集和终端惩罚函数, 并保证终端约束集是一个在终端控制律作用下的正不变集, 终端惩罚函数是受控系统的局部控制Lyapunov函数. 本文提供了一种求解非线性系统终端约束集、终端控制律和终端惩罚函数的新策略. 通过在优化问题中引入新的变量来降低求解终端约束条件的保守性, 并且可以从理论上保证求解得到的终端约束集更大. 通常情况下, 较大的终端约束集将允许选取的预测时域较小, 因而可以降低预测控制的在线计算负担. 从形式上看, 新的变量的引入使得终端约束集和终端惩罚项实现了某种程度的解耦, 即终端约束集不再是终端惩罚函数的水平截集. 最后通过仿真算例验证了所提策略的有效性.

Characterisation Of Receding Horizon Control For Constrained Linear Systems

This paper characterises the geometric structure of receding horizon control (RHC) of linear, discrete‐time systems, subject to a quadratic performance index and linear constraints. The geometric insights so obtained are exploited to derive a closed‐form solution for the case where the total number of constraints is less than or equal to the number of degrees of freedom, represented by the number of control moves. The solution is shown to be a partition of the state space into regions for which an analytic expression is given for the corresponding control law. Both the regions and the control law are characterised in terms of the parameters of the open‐loop optimal control problem that underlies RHC and can be computed off line. The solution for the case where the total number of constraints is greater than the number of degrees of freedom is addressed via an algorithm that iteratively uses the off‐line solution and avoids on‐line optimisation.     

Simultaneous Constrained Model Predictive Control and Identification of DARX Processes

In this work, we formulate a new approach to simultaneous constrained model predictive control and identification (MPCI). The proposed approach relies on the development of a persistent excitation (PE) criterion for processes described by DARX models. That PE criterion is used as an additional constraint in the standard on-line optimization of MPC. The resulting on-line optimization problem of MPCI is handled by successively solving a series of semi-definite programming problems. Advantages of MPCI in comparison to other closed-loop identification methods are (a) Constraints on process inputs and outputs are handled explicitly, (b) Deterioration of output regulation is kept to a minimum, while closed-loop identification is performed. The applicability of the method is illustrated by a number of simulation studies. Theoretical and computational issues for further investigation are suggested.
