Optimal fixed-structure control for linear non-negative dynamical systems

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 5 2004
Sergey G. Nersesov
Abstract In this paper, we develop optimal output feedback controllers for set-point regulation of linear non-negative dynamical systems. Specifically, using a constrained fixed-structure control framework we develop optimal output feedback control laws that guarantee that the trajectories of the closed-loop system remain in the non-negative orthant of the state space for non-negative initial conditions. In addition, we characterize domains of attraction predicated on closed and open Lyapunov level surfaces contained in the non-negative orthant for unconstrained optimal linear-quadratic output feedback controllers. Output feedback controllers for compartmental systems with non-negative inputs are also given. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


H, control for nonlinear affine systems: a chain-scattering matrix description approach

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 4 2001
Jang-Lee Hong
Abstract This paper combines an alternative chain-scattering matrix description with (J, J,)-lossless and a class of conjugate (,J, ,J,)-lossless systems to design a family of nonlinear H, output feedback controllers. The present systems introduce a new chain-scattering setting, which not only offers a clearer expression for the solving process of the nonlinear H, control problem but also removes the fictitious signals introduced by the traditional chain-scattering approach. The intricate nonlinear affine control problem thus can be transformed into a simple lossless network and is easy to deal with in a network-theory context. The relationship among these (J, J,) systems, L2 -gain, and Hamilton,Jacobi equations is also given. Block diagrams are used to illustrate the central theme. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stabilization of uncertain chained nonholonomic systems using adaptive output feedback,

ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 6 2009
Z. P. Yuan
Abstract In this paper, adaptive output feedback control is presented to solve the stabilization problem of nonholonomic systems in chained form with strong nonlinear drifts and uncertain parameters using output signals only. The objective is to design adaptive nonlinear output feedback laws which can steer the closed-loop systems to globally converge to the origin, while the estimated parameters remain bounded. The proposed systematic strategy combines input-state scaling with backstepping technique. Motivated from a special case, adaptive output feedback controllers are proposed for a class of uncertain chained systems. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controllers. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society [source]


Network-based robust control of stochastic systems with nonlinear perturbations,

ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 1 2009
Xiaomei Zhang
Abstract Network-based robust control of stochastic systems with nonlinear perturbations is investigated in this paper. State and static output feedback controllers are designed, respectively, for stochastic networked control systems subject to the presence of network-induced delay, transmitted data dropout and nonlinear perturbations. Using the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and descriptor system approach, a state feedback controller and a static output feedback controller are constructed in terms of linear matrix inequalities, respectively. With the controllers, the corresponding closed-loop systems are stochastically ultimately bounded in the mean square. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society [source]
