Controllability and observability of state‐dependent switched Boolean control networks with input constraints

This paper investigates the controllability and observability of state‐dependent switched Boolean control networks (SDSBCNs) with input constraints. First, the algebraic form of SDSBCNs is derived via the semi‐tensor product of matrices. Then constrained model‐input‐state (CMIS) matrices are introduced for SDSBCNs with input constraints. On the basis of CMIS matrices, two necessary and sufficient conditions are provided for the controllability and observability. Finally, two examples are given to show the effectiveness of the main results.     

Observability conditions of Boolean control networks

Observability is a basic, yet challenging, issue when studying Boolean control networks (BCNs). Recently, a criterion for observability of controllable BCNs was proposed by using the algebraic representation of logical dynamics based on the technique of the semi‐tensor product of matrices. In this paper, we present new necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing observability of a BCN without preassuming its controllability. The conditions are hence more general. Some examples are worked out to illustrate the obtained results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

State feedback controller design for anti‐synchronization of Boolean control networks: An event‐based idea

In this paper, we investigate the event‐based state feedback control for the anti‐synchronization of Boolean control networks (BCNs) under the configuration of drive‐response coupling. Two equivalence properties for the anti‐synchronization of BCNs are obtained by the algebraic representations of the logical dynamics. Based on the analysis of the event conditions, an algorithm is established to design the event‐based state feedback controller, and a necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the anti‐synchronization of the drive‐response coupled BCNs is formulated. An example is finally given to demonstrate the validity of the obtained results.     

Vehicle state estimation for anti-lock control with nonlinear observer

Vehicle state estimation during anti-lock braking is considered. A novel nonlinear observer based on a vehicle dynamics model and a simplified Pacejka tire model is introduced in order to provide estimates of longitudinal and lateral vehicle velocities and the tire-road friction coefficient for vehicle safety control systems, specifically anti-lock braking control. The approach differs from previous work on vehicle state estimation in two main respects. The first is the introduction of a switched nonlinear observer in order to deal with the fact that in some driving situations the information provided by the sensor is not sufficient to carry out state estimation (i.e., not all states are observable). This is shown through an observability analysis. The second contribution is the introduction of tire-road friction estimation depending on vehicle longitudinal motion. Stability properties of the observer are analyzed using a Lyapunov function based method. Practical applicability of the proposed nonlinear observer is shown by means of experimental results.

Finally, an algorithm and some simulations for an example are provided to validate the obtained theoretical results.

An integer programming approach to optimal control problems in context-sensitive probabilistic Boolean networks

A Boolean network is one of the models of biological networks such as gene regulatory networks, and has been extensively studied. In particular, a probabilistic Boolean network (PBN) is well known as an extension of Boolean networks, but in the existing methods to solve the optimal control problem of PBNs, it is necessary to compute the state transition diagram with 2ⁿ nodes for a given PBN with n states. To avoid this computation, an integer programming-based approach is proposed for a context-sensitive PBN (CS-PBN), which is a general form of PBNs. In the proposed method, a CS-PBN is transformed into a linear system with binary variables, and the optimal control problem is reduced to an integer linear programming problem. By a numerical example, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown.     

Finite-time observability of probabilistic Boolean control networks

In this paper, the finite-time observability (FO ) of probabilistic Boolean control networks (PBCNs ) based on set reachability and parallel extension is investigated. Under algebraic state space representation of PBCNs , finite-time set reachability (FSR ), finite-time single input sequence set reachability (FSSSR ), finite-time arbitrary input sequence set reachability (FASSR ), as well as finite-time output feedback set reachability (FOSR ) are addressed, where some efficient criteria are proposed. In the second part of this paper, several types of FO are provided, which can be converted to the corresponding FSR based on the parallel extension technique. Consequently, the obtained results for FSR are utilized to deal with FO . Finally, two examples including a biological network are given to demonstrate the theoretical results.     

A novel sth‐order observer for linear system: Application to state and fault estimation of spacecraft control system

In this paper, a fault estimation problem for linear system is considered. A novel sth‐order observer is proposed to cope with this problem. The advantages of the proposed observer are that (i) the observer matching condition is not required to be satisfied in practical systems, (ii) if the sth derivative of fault is unknown and/or unbounded and the (s + 1)th derivative of fault f (t) is naught or bounded, it can simultaneously estimate the state and fault. The sufficient existence condition of the proposed observer is given by a linear matrix inequality. In addition, a feasible method to obtain the design parameters is discussed. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

A novel event‐triggered extended state observer for networked control systems subjected to external disturbances

In this paper, the event‐triggered‐based state estimation problem is investigated for a class of nonlinear networked control systems subjected to external disturbances. A novel event‐triggered extended state observer (ESO) is utilized to estimate the so‐called total disturbance, and an output predictor is adopted for the proposed ESO between two consecutive transmission instants. It is also worth pointing out that, in the newly proposed ESO, an event‐triggered mechanism is adopted to update the measurement signal so as to save the communication resource. The sufficient conditions are provided such that the estimation error dynamics is exponentially ultimately bounded. Furthermore, it is proven that the Zeno behavior does not exist for the event‐triggering rules. A number of numerical simulations are conducted to verify the validity of the theoretical results.     

Continuous adaptive observer for state affine sampled‐data systems

In this paper, a hybrid adaptive observer is designed for a class of nonlinear sampled‐data systems with constant unknown parameters. The proposed observer uses a predictor of the output between the sampling times. This predictor is re‐initialized at each sampling time. This observer is very simple to implement and converges exponentially under some sufficient conditions. An explicit relation between the bound of the maximum allowable sampling time (τ_MASP) and the parameters of the observer is also given. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Trigger‐based tracking control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems via an event‐triggered extended state observer

An event‐triggered observer‐based output feedback control issue together with triggered input is investigated for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems subject to unknown external disturbances. Two separate event‐triggered conditions are located on the measurement channel and control channel, respectively. An event‐triggered extended state observer (ETESO) is employed to estimate unmeasurable states and compensate uncertainties and disturbances in real time while it is not required for real‐time output measurement. Then, combined with backstepping method and active disturbance rejection control, an output feedback control scheme is proposed, where an event‐triggered input is developed for reducing the communication rate between the controller and the actuator. The triggered instants are determined by a time‐varying event‐triggered condition. Two simulations, including a numerical example and an permanent‐magnet motor, are illustrated to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.     

Controllability of Boolean control networks with time delays in states

This paper investigates the controllability of Boolean networks with time-invariant delays in states. After a brief introduction on converting the logic dynamics to discrete time delay systems, the controllability via two kinds of controls is studied. One kind of control is generated by Boolean control networks, another kind of control is free Boolean sequences. In both cases, necessary and sufficient conditions of the controllability of Boolean control networks are proved. Finally, examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.

Two fault‐tolerant control problems for multiple‐integrator networks

The paper considers a network of agents with multiple‐integrator internal dynamics, which share partial information on their states according to an arbitrary topology. For this system, two control problems are addressed and solved. The first consists in assigning the dominant closed‐loop poles. The second consists in achieving a specified consensus with arbitrary dominant dynamics. In both cases, the regulator is required to be decentralized, and the controlled network has to result tolerant with respect to faults in the communication apparatuses of the agents.

Reconstructibility analysis and set-observer design for Boolean control networks

This paper deals with the issues of reconstructibility analysis and set-observer design for Boolean control networks (BCNs). A state estimation set is considered to find the state estimation of BCNs, and a reconstructibility judgment matrix (RJM) is obtained by compact vector of state estimation set. Then, a kind of state-reconstructible tree is constructed, and algorithms are also provided to construct it. The state-reconstructible tree can categorize BCNs to be globally reconstructible, locally reconstructible, and unreconstructible. The sufficient and necessary conditions for the reconstructibility of BCNs are given. Meanwhile, the relationship between input–output trajectory and estimated state is derived. Next, with the knowledge of input–output sequence, a set-observer is designed such that the state of BCNs for any global reconstructible BCNs is uniquely determined in a finite time. Some examples are also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
