Robustness Of A Relaxation Oscillator

Authors:

Tryphon T. Georgiou, Malcolm C. Smith,

Volume: 1, Page 246 Paper number 1523

Abstract:

For a relaxation oscillator which consists of a relay-hysteresis in feedback with negative integral action we prove that the oscillatory behaviour is robust to perturbations in the dynamical component of the feedback loop which are sufficiently small in a gap sense.

Stability and Asymptotic Performance Analysis of a Class of Reset Control Systems

Authors:

Qian Chen, C.V. Hollot, Yossi Chait,

Volume: 1, Page 251 Paper number 1757

Abstract:

Bode's gain-phase relationship places a hard limitation on performance tradeoffs in linear, time-invariant feedback control systems. It has long been suggested that reset control has the potential to improve this situation. Recent experimental studies support this claim. This paper focuses on the analysis of such reset control systems which has been missing in this past work. Specifically, we give results on bounded-input bounded-output stability, asymptotic stability and steady-state performance. These results are applied to an experimental demonstration of reset control of a flexible mechanism.

Global Stabilization and Peaking Reduction for Nonlinear Uncertain Systems with Unmodeled Actuator Dynamics

Authors:

Giorgio Bartolini, Alessandro Pisano, Elio Usai,

Volume: 1, Page 257 Paper number 1860

Abstract:

The problem of the global stabilization of a class of nonlinear uncertain plants is considered in this paper. The analysis includes the uncertain actuator dynamics, and the global convergence of the system state to zero is ensured by a second order sliding mode control technique. The proposed approach is chattering-free, and it also reduces the peaking of the state that is typically shown during the transient phase by variable structure systems and other robust control schemes. Simulation examples highlight the good features of the proposed control law.

Comments on (cal) L_2 -Gain Analysis Of Systems With Persistent Outputs

Authors:

Peter M. Dower,

Volume: 1, Page 263 Paper number 1794

Abstract:

In this paper, a generalization of the L2-gain inequality utilizing "point to set" distances is applied to cope with systems with persistent excitation. This generalization is compared with notions of power gain introduced previously by the author. In particular it is found that the gain inequality associated with "point to set" distances freely admits a definition of available storage and allows the standard Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman PDE to be generalized in a simple way. Issues concerning stability are also addressed. The nature of the generalized L2-gain inequality admits a simple understanding of stability, which is an improvement over the power gain generalization. However, casting optimal control problems is less satisfying in that it is more difficult to minimize the power generated by the system.

Asymptotic Stabilization of the Heavy Top Using Controlled Lagrangians

Authors:

Dong-Eui Chang, Jerrold E. Marsden,

Volume: 1, Page 269 Paper number 1695

Abstract:

In this paper we extend the previous work on the asymptotic stabilization of pure Euler-Poincare mechanical systems using controlled Lagrangians to the study of asymptotic stabilization of Euler-Poincare mechanical systems such as the heavy top.

Basic Dynamical Systems Control Of Aeroengine Flow

Authors:

Björn Birnir, Höskuldur Hauksson,

Volume: 1, Page 274 Paper number 1

Abstract:

The notions of basic controllability and basic control are defined using dynamical systems theory of partial differential equations. A quadratic optimal control of the linearized viscous Moore-Greitzer equation is presented and it is confirmed that stall is uncontrollable in this model. A basic control is constructed for the nonlinear viscous Moore-Greitzer equation which can control both surge and stall. Numerical simulations of the basic control are presented.

Further Results for Systems with Repeated Scalar Nonlinearities

Authors:

Yun-Chung Chu,

Volume: 1, Page 280 Paper number 1242

Abstract:

The class of nonlinear systems described by a discrete-time state-equation containing a repeated scalar nonlinearity is considered. The paper sharpens several previous results on the performance synthesis and model reduction for such systems. Extensions to the case that the nonlinearity is not an odd function are also discussed.
