On near optimal neural control of multiple-input nonlinear systems

It has been a common consensus that general techniques for stabilization of nonlinear systems are available only for some special classes of nonlinear systems. Control design for nonlinear systems with uncertain components is usually carried out on a per system basis, especially when physical control constraints, and certain control performance measures such as optimum time control are imposed. Elegant adaptive control techniques are difficult to apply to this type of problems. A new neural network based control design is proposed and presented in this paper to deal with a special class of uncertain nonlinear systems with multiple inputs. The desired system dynamics are analyzed and utilized in the process of the proposed intelligent control design. The theoretical results are provided to justify the design procedures. The simulation study is conducted on a second-order bilinear system with two inputs and uncertainties on its parameters. The simulation results indicate that the proposed design approach is effective.

Reliability-based design optimization of problems with correlated input variables using a Gaussian Copula

The reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) using performance measure approach for problems with correlated input variables requires a transformation from the correlated input random variables into independent standard normal variables. For the transformation with correlated input variables, the two most representative transformations, the Rosenblatt and Nataf transformations, are investigated. The Rosenblatt transformation requires a joint cumulative distribution function (CDF). Thus, the Rosenblatt transformation can be used only if the joint CDF is given or input variables are independent. In the Nataf transformation, the joint CDF is approximated using the Gaussian copula, marginal CDFs, and covariance of the input correlated variables. Using the generated CDF, the correlated input variables are transformed into correlated normal variables and then the correlated normal variables are transformed into independent standard normal variables through a linear transformation. Thus, the Nataf transformation can accurately estimates joint normal and some lognormal CDFs of the input variable that cover broad engineering applications. This paper develops a PMA-based RBDO method for problems with correlated random input variables using the Gaussian copula. Several numerical examples show that the correlated random input variables significantly affect RBDO results.     

Partial state observers for linear systems with unknown inputs

We consider the problem of constructing partial state observers for discrete-time linear systems with unknown inputs. Specifically, for any given system, we develop a design procedure that characterizes the set of all linear functionals of the system state that can be reconstructed through a linear observer with a given delay. By treating the delay as a design parameter, we allow greater flexibility in estimating state functionals, and are able to obtain a procedure that directly produces the corresponding observer parameters. Our technique is also applicable to continuous-time systems by replacing delayed outputs with differentiated outputs.     

MPC for tracking piecewise constant references for constrained linear systems

In this paper, a novel model predictive control (MPC) for constrained (non-square) linear systems to track piecewise constant references is presented. This controller ensures constraint satisfaction and asymptotic evolution of the system to any target which is an admissible steady-state. Therefore, any sequence of piecewise admissible setpoints can be tracked without error. If the target steady state is not admissible, the controller steers the system to the closest admissible steady state.These objectives are achieved by: (i) adding an artificial steady state and input as decision variables, (ii) using a modified cost function to penalize the distance from the artificial to the target steady state (iii) considering an extended terminal constraint based on the notion of invariant set for tracking. The control law is derived from the solution of a single quadratic programming problem which is feasible for any target. Furthermore, the proposed controller provides a larger domain of attraction (for a given control horizon) than the standard MPC and can be explicitly computed by means of multiparametric programming tools. On the other hand, the extra degrees of freedom added to the MPC may cause a loss of optimality that can be arbitrarily reduced by an appropriate weighting of the offset cost term.
