Lyapunov Functions for Impulse and Hybrid Control Systems

Authors:

Jean-Pierre Aubin,

Volume: 1, Page 466 Paper number 2701

Abstract:

This paper characterizes Lyapunov functions for hybrid control systems and, more generally, to impulse differential inclusions. This is useful to govern the evolution of an asymptotically stable solution of a an hybrid system around an equilibrium and can also be used for designing a global optimization algorithm.

Hybrid Control Laws From Convex Dynamic Programming

Authors:

Sven Hedlund, Anders Rantzer,

Volume: 1, Page 472 Paper number 2702

Abstract:

In a previous paper, we showed how classical ideas for dynamic programming in discrete networks can be adapted to hybrid systems. The approach is based on discretization of the continuous Bellman inequality which gives a lower bound on the optimal cost. The lower bound is maximized by linear programming to get an approximation of the optimal solution. In this paper, we apply ideas from infinite-dimensional convex analysis to get an inequality which is dual to the well known Bellman inequality. The result is a linear programming problem that gives an estimate of the approximation error in the previous numerical approaches.

Deadlock-Free Piecewise Linear Controlled Hybrid Automata

Authors:

Michael D. Lemmon,

Volume: 1, Page 478 Paper number 2703

Abstract:

A controlled hybrid automaton is a hybrid automaton whose continuous-state trajectories satisfy inhomogeneous differential equations. This paper presents sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic global solutions of piecewise-linear controlled hybrid automata.

Hierarchical Hysteresis Switching

Authors:

Daniel Liberzon, João P. Hespanha, A. Stephen Morse,

Volume: 1, Page 484 Paper number 2704

Abstract:

We describe a new switching logic, called ``hierarchical hysteresis switching'', and establish a bound on the number of switchings produced by this logic on a given interval. The motivating application is the problem of controlling a linear system with large modeling uncertainty. We consider a control algorithm consisting of a finite family of linear controllers supervised by the hierarchical hysteresis switching logic. In this context, the bound on the number of switchings enables us to prove stability of the closed-loop system in the presence of noise, disturbances, and unmodeled dynamics.

A Stability Analysis Based on Economic Principles for the Control of the Cotton Aphid

Authors:

Clyde F. Martin, Robert Martin,

Volume: 1, Page 490 Paper number 2705

Abstract:

The cotton aphid is an important pest insect affecting the profitability of cotton production in the Southwest. In this paper, we study the problem of the optimal timing of pesticide application to control the aphid. The problem is complicated by the presence of a significant predator insect. The predator serves as a natural control of the aphid and is adversely affected by application of pesticide. We determine optimal state dependent rules for application of pesticide. We show that first application of pesticide is a switching time between two dynamic systems.

Stability and Stabilization of Piecewise Affine and Hybrid Systems: An LMI Approach

Authors:

Domenico Mignone, Giancarlo Ferrari-Trecate, Manfred Morari,

Volume: 1, Page 504 Paper number 2706

Abstract:

In this paper we present various algorithms both for stability analysis and state-feedback design for discrete-time piecewise affine systems. As in the works of Johansson and Rantzer (1998), our approach hinges on the use of piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions that can be computed as the solution of a set of linear matrix inequalities. The basic algorithms are made less conservative by exploiting the switching structure of piecewise affine systems and by using relaxation procedures.

Hybrid Control Based on Discrete-Event Automata and Receding-Horizon Neural Controllers

Authors:

Thomas Parisini, Simona Sacone,

Volume: 1, Page 510 Paper number 2707

Abstract:

A hybrid receding-horizon control scheme for nonlinear discrete-time systems is addressed in this work. Such a scheme is composed of two control levels: a continuous level characterized by a finite set of neural receding-horizon feedback control laws, and a discrete-event level aimed at choosing the best control action to be applied to the plant, depending on the current system conditions and on possible occurred external events. The two-level scheme presents two major innovative aspects: first, a new class of hybrid automata, namely the discrete-time discrete-event automata, is used for the modeling of the proposed hybrid control scheme. Moreover, receding-horizon regulators based on neural approximators and off-line determined can be adopted at the continuous level. The stability analysis of the hybrid control system is addressed both in the case in which optimal receding-horizon feedback control functions are used and in the case in which neural approximate regulators are adopted.
