An LMI approach to synthesis subject to almost asymptotic regulation constraints

A multi-objective controller synthesis problem is considered in which an output is to be regulated approximately by assuring a bound on the steady-state peak amplification in response to an infinite-energy disturbance, while also guaranteeing a desired level of performance measured in terms of the worst-case energy gain from a finite-energy input to a performance output. Relying on a characterization of the controllers with which almost asymptotic regulation is accomplished, the problem of guaranteeing the desired level of performance is reduced to solving a system of linear matrix inequalities subject to a set of linear equality constraints. Based on the solution of this system, a procedure is outlined for the construction of a suitable controller whose order is equal to the order of the plant plus the order of the exogenous system.     

基于主动变采样周期方法的网络控制系统的H∞控制器设计

This paper studies the problem of designing H∞ controllers for networked control systems (NCSs) with both network-induced time delay and packet dropout by using an active-varying sampling period method, where the sampling period switches in a finite set. A novel linear estimation-based method is proposed to compensate packet dropout, and H∞ controller design is also presented by using the multi-objective optimization methodology. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the active-varying sampling period method and the linear estimation-based packet dropout compensation.     

Globally stabilizing feedback control of process systems in generalized Lotka–Volterra form

In the present paper a globally stabilizing feedback controller design method is proposed for process systems when the feedback structure is also assumed to be in a quasi-polynomial form. It is shown that such feedback structure can always be achieved for process systems.By exploiting the special structure of the controller design problem, the existent iterative linear matrix inequality (ILMI) algorithm of [Y.-Y. Cao, J. Lam, Y.-X. Sun, Static output feedback stabilization: an ILMI approach, Automatica 12 (1998) 1641–1645] is applied to solve the BMI feasibility problem underlying the design.In addition, some partial results on placing the globally stable equilibrium point with respect to the positive orthant have also been proposed that is only possible in a fully actuated situation when the input variables are the intensive variables at the inlet. Furthermore, some preliminary results in selecting the structure of the QP-type feedback have also been presented.     

A framework for design of scheduled output feedback model predictive control

We present a stabilizing scheduled output feedback Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithm for constrained nonlinear systems with large operating regions. We design a set of local output feedback predictive controllers with their estimated regions of stability covering the desired operating region, and implement them as a single scheduled output feedback MPC which on-line switches between the set of local controllers and achieves nonlinear transitions with guaranteed stability. This algorithm provides a general framework for scheduled output feedback MPC design.

Output feedback control for uncertain linear systems with faulty actuators based on a switching method

This paper investigates the problem of output feedback stabilization for a class of uncertain linear systems with faulty actuators via the synergy with a switching strategy. When actuators suffer a ‘destabilizing failure’ and the never‐faulty actuators cannot stabilize the given system, the closed‐loop exponential stability can still be achieved via the average dwell‐time scheme employing an arbitrary switching signal. The prerequisite condition found requires the ratio between the two lapse times, when the system is devoid of faulty actuators and when it is not so, to be less than a certain specified constant. Then the stabilizing output feedback controls are designed via the technique of linear matrix inequalities. The illustrative example and the respective simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed design synthesis. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exponential stability for uncertain neutral systems with Markov jumps

This paper deals with the global exponential stability problems for stochastic neutral Markov jump systems （MJSs） with uncertain parameters and multiple time-delays. The delays are respectively considered as constant and time varying cases, and the uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. By selecting appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions, it gives the sufficient condition such that the uncertain neutral MJSs are globally exponentially stochastically stable for all admissible uncertainties. The stability criteria are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, which can be easily checked in practice. Finally, two numerical examples are exploited to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques.
