具有降阶模型的多模型鲁棒自适应控制

传统鲁棒自适应控制由于考虑了实际系统存在的不确定性,在一定程度上扩大了常规自适应控制的应用范围,但是传统鲁棒自适应控制大多只是从系统全局稳定性的角度出发来设计控制器而忽略系统动态和稳态性能,导致其无法在工况多变的实际被控系统中取得令人满意的效果。针对传统鲁棒自适应控制的不足,本文对由ARMA模型描述并包含未建模动态的系统设计了多模型鲁棒自适应控制器。首先采用正则化技术将系统未建模动态转化为系统有界扰动,并在系统降阶模型的基础上根据系统工况的变化设计了多个固定控制器和2个鲁棒自适应控制器,并根据性能指标函数选择最佳控制器作为当前系统控制器以提高系统性能。仿真实验说明当系统存在未建模动态以及系统工况发生变化时,本文设计的控制器能获得较好的控制效果。     

Stability of a class of discrete-time nonlinear recursive observers

This work provides a framework for nominal and robust stability analysis for a class of discrete-time nonlinear recursive observers (DNRO). Given that the system has linear output mapping, local observability and Jacobian matrices satisfying certain conditions, the nominal and robust stability of the DNRO is defined by the property of estimation error dynamics and is analyzed using Lyapunov theory. Moreover, a simultaneous state and parameter estimation scheme is shown to be Input-to-State Stable (ISS), and adaptively reduce plant-model mismatch on-line. Three design strategies of the DNRO that satisfy the stability results are given as examples, including the widely used extended Kalman filter, extended Luenberger observer, and the fixed gain observer.     

An enhanced exact procedure for the absolute robust shortest path problem

The aim of this paper is to investigate the use of heuristic information to efficiently solve to optimality the robust shortest path problem. Starting from the exact algorithm proposed by Murty and Her, we describe how this algorithm can be enhanced by using heuristic rules and evaluation functions to guide the search. The efficiency of the proposed enhanced approach is tested over a range of random generated instances. Our computational results indicate that the use of heuristic criteria is able to speed up considerably the search and that the enhanced exact solution method outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art algorithm proposed by Murty and Her in most of the instances.     

Robust exponential stability conditions for retarded systems with Lipschitz nonlinear stochastic perturbations

This paper investigates robust mean‐square exponential stability of a class of uncertain stochastic state‐delayed systems with Lipschitz nonlinear stochastic perturbation. Based on Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) method and free‐weighting matrix technique, some new delay‐dependent stability conditions are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In order to reduce the conservatism, (1) the delay is divided into several segments, i.e. the delay decomposition method is applied; (2) cross terms estimation is avoided; (3) some information of the cross terms relationships which has not been involved in Reference (IET Control Theory Appl. 2008; 2(11):966–973) is considered. Moreover, from the mathematical point of view, the results obtained by free‐weighting matrix technique can be equivalently re‐formulated by simpler ones without involving any additional free matrix variables. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by numerical examples. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Improved delay‐dependent absolute stability and robust stability for a class of nonlinear systems with a time‐varying delay

This paper investigates the problem of the absolute stability of Lur'e systems with a time‐varying delay. By considering the relationships among the time‐varying delay, its upper bound, and the difference between them, less conservative delay‐dependent stability criteria are obtained and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities, without ignoring any useful terms in the derivative of a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. Numerical example shows that the results obtained in this paper are better than the previous results. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust MIMO disturbance observer analysis and design with application to active car steering

A multi‐input–multi‐output extension of the well‐known two control degrees‐of‐freedom disturbance observer architecture that decouples the problem into single‐input–single‐output disturbance observer loops is presented in this paper. Robust design based on mapping D‐stability and the frequency domain specifications of weighted sensitivity minimization and phase margin bound to a chosen controller parameter space is presented as a part of the proposed design approach. The effect of the choice of disturbance observer Q filter on performance is explained with a numerical example. This is followed by the use of structured singular values in the robustness analysis of disturbance observer controlled systems subject to structured, real parametric and mixed uncertainty in the plant. A design and simulation study based on a four wheel active car steering control example is used to illustrate the methods presented in the paper. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiple robust H∞ controller design using the nonsmooth optimization method

This paper proposes a systematic technique to design multiple robust H_∞ controllers. The proposed technique achieves a desired robust performance objective, which is impossible to achieve with a single robust controller, by dividing the uncertainty set into several subsets and by designing a robust controller to each subset. To achieve this goal with a small number of divisions of the uncertainty set, an optimization problem is formulated. Since the cost function of this optimization problem is not a smooth function, a numerical nonsmooth optimization algorithm is proposed to solve this problem. This method avoids the use of Lyapunov variables, and therefore it leads to a moderate size optimization problem. A numerical example shows that the proposed multiple robust control method can improve the closed‐loop performance when a single robust controller cannot achieve satisfactory performance.

基于改进惯性权重的粒子群优化算法

惯性权重是粒子群算法中平衡全局搜索和局部搜索能力的重要参数,提出了一种基于改进惯性权重的粒子群优化算法。该算法在进化初期采用基于不同粒子不同维的动态自适应惯性权重策略,加快收敛速度,在进化后期采用线性递减权重策略,同时为防止陷入局优,适时引入混沌变异增加种群多样性。对5个典型测试函数的测试结果表明,NPSO在收敛速度、收敛精度、稳定性和全局搜索能力等方面比线性权重PSO(LDIWPSO)均有很大程度上的提高。
