Performance Driven Reachability Analysis for Optimal Scheduling and Control of Hybrid Systems

Authors:

Alberto Bemporad, Lorenzo Giovanardi, Fabio D. Torrisi,

Volume: 1, Page 969 Paper number 1844

Abstract:

In this paper we tackle the optimal control problem for piecewise linear and hybrid systems by using a computational approach based on performance-driven reachability analysis. The idea consists of coupling a reach-set exploration algorithm, essentially based on repetitive use of linear programming, to a quadratic programming solver which selectively drives the exploration. In particular, an upper bound on the optimal cost is continually updated during the procedure, and used as a criterion to discern non-optimal evolutions and to prevent their exploration. The result is an efficient strategy of branch-and-bound nature, which is especially attractive for solving long-horizon hybrid optimal control and scheduling problems.

Forward Algorithms for Optimal Control of a Class of Hybrid Systems

Authors:

Young C. Cho, Christos G. Cassandras, David L. Pepyne,

Volume: 1, Page 975 Paper number 1736

Abstract:

This paper considers optimal control problems for a class of hybrid systems motivated by the structure of manufacturing environments that integrate process and operations control. We derive new necessary and sufficient conditions that allow us to determine the structure of the optimal sample path and hence decompose a large non-convex, non-differentiable problem into a set of smaller convex, constrained optimization problems. Using these conditions, we develop an efficient, low-complexity, scalable algorithm for explicitly determining the optimal controls. Several numerical examples are included to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

On the Global Controllability of Hybrid Systems: Hybrifolds and Fountains

Authors:

Ekaterina S. Lemch, Shankar Sastry, Peter E. Caines,

Volume: 1, Page 981 Paper number 1800

Abstract:

In this paper we investigate the question of the global controllability posed for a class of control hybrid systems. New sufficient conditions for the global controllability are obtained in terms of the so-called hybrid fountains. The main tool for our analysis is the notion of a controlled hybrifold.

A Hybrid System Approach Towards Redundant Fault-Tolerant Control Systems

Authors:

Zhenyu Yang,

Volume: 1, Page 987 Paper number 1366

Abstract:

This paper discusses the verification problem of Redundancy Management Systems (RMS) in fault-tolerant control by using a hybrid system approach - the Discrete-Event-System (DES) abstracting strategy. The qualitative fault-tolerant criteria can be formally verified if a DES model is abstracted from the continuous/discrete-time dynamical system in a consistent way. In this paper the acquisition of the DES model and verification of fault-tolerant criteria are illustrated based on a concrete RMS of a redundant flight control system.

Design of Hybrid Systems with Guaranteed Performance

Authors:

Nicola Elia,

Volume: 1, Page 993 Paper number 2128

Abstract:

In this paper we show that, for a linear system, any worst-case energy gain greater than the optimal H_(infinity) norm is achievable by a logarithmically quantized state feedback. We also show how to derive the coarsest logarithmic quantizer provable via quadratic Lyapunov functions for a given level of performance. The smallest logarithmic base, for a given performance level, is obtained via a bisection algorithm applied to a parametric feasibility LMI problem. The result highlights the tradeoff between performance degradation versus coarseness of quantization. Simulations suggest that the upper bound derived in this paper is a realistic measure of the actual performance under logarithmic quantization. The end result is the systematic design of a discrete event controller that stabilizes a linear system and guarantees a certain level of performance measured in terms of the worst-case close loop energy gain. The resulting hybrid system is implicitly verified.

Ellipsoidal Approximations of Reachable Sets for Linear Games

Authors:

Norihiko Shishido, Claire J. Tomlin,

Volume: 1, Page 999 Paper number 2182

Abstract:

Verification of safety properties for continuous, discrete, and hybrid systems requires computation of the reachable sets of states for such systems. It is of great interest to develop efficient and scalable numerical algorithms for computation and representation of this reachable set. In this paper, we compute reachable sets for linear differential games, in which one player (the `control') tries to keep the state of the system outside of a given unsafe subset of the state space; and the second player (the `disturbance') tries to push the system into this subset. We model this unsafe set, the input set, and the disturbance set as ellipsoids, and we derive conditions under which the reachable set at each point in time is an ellipsoid. We give an integral form equation whose solution represents this ellipsoid, and we present special cases in which this ellipsoid may be computed analytically. We conclude with a set of examples.
