Comparison of Systems with Complex Behavior: Spectral Methods

Authors:

Igor Mezić, Andrzej Banaszuk,

Volume: 1, Page 1224 Paper number 4801

Abstract:

We present a formalism for comparing the asymptotic dynamics of dynamical systems with physical systems that they model. There is often no need for the detailed (trajectory-wise) comparison of a dynamical system and the physical system that it models, but only comparison in statistical sense. For that purpose, invariant measures are typically considered. But, invariant measures usually can not be observed directly in an experiment. Thus, we base our formalism on time-averages obtained from a single observable. In particular, we constructively prove that, generically, a single observable is needed in order to recover an invariant ergodic measure. Pseudometrics on space of dynamical systems can be defined using this formalism in order to compare their statistical behavior. We also identify the need to go beyond comparing only invariant ergodic measures of systems and introduce an ergodic-theoretic treatment of a class of spectral functionals that allow for this. The formalism is extended for a class of stochastic systems: discrete Random Dynamical Systems. The ideas introduced in this paper can be used for parameter identification and model validation of driven nonlinear models with complicated behavior. As an illustration we provide an example in which we compare the asymptotic behavior of a combustion system measured experimentally with the asymptotic behavior of the model that is a stochastic control dynamical system.

Model Validation for Nonlinear Feedback Systems

Authors:

Roy S. Smith, Geir Dullerud, Scott A. Miller,

Volume: 1, Page 1232 Paper number 4802

Abstract:

Model validation provides a useful means of assessing the ability of a model to account for a specific experimental observation, and has application to modeling, identification and fault detection. In a robust control framework norm-bounded perturbations are included to account for dynamic uncertainties in the system. We consider a discrete-time or sampled-data framework with a general linear fractional transformation (LFT) model structure which allows for the consideration of nonlinear feedback structures. Block structured, causal , time-varying perturbations are considered and we give a sufficient condition---necessary and sufficient in the single perturbation block case---for the model to be invalidated by the datum. The condition is testable by a convex LMI feasibility problem in which the matrix basis grows linearly in size with respect to the data length and the number of decision variables is equal to the number of perturbation blocks.

Validation Test Design For A Nonlinear Model Developed From Limit Cycle Data

Authors:

Wayne J. Dunstan, Robert R. Bitmead, Sergio M. Savaresi,

Volume: 1, Page 1237 Paper number 4803

Abstract:

This paper details an example of experiment design for validation of a nonlinear model arising in the limit cycling behavior of lean, premixed combustion. The validation problem is important because of the poor information content of the periodic limit cycle data and the challenge is to provide a practically feasible, small excitation to the loop to improve identifiability and to provide qualitative tests of model performance. We examine this problem by considering the nonlinear dynamics of the model class and feasible excitation mechanisms.

Unfalsified Nonlinear Adaptive Control

Authors:

Robert L. Kosut,

Volume: 1, Page 1243 Paper number 4804

Abstract:

In this paper we pursue the idea that adaptive linear control can be used to nullify (possibly) deleterious effects of unknown nonlinearities. The design approach is based on ideas of direct controller falsification. An example is presented which shows control of a nonlinear systems which exhibits multi-periodic and chaotic behavior.

On the Identifiability of Nonlinear Maps in a General Interconnected System

Authors:

Mareike Claassen, Eric Wemhoff, Andrew Packard, Kameshwar Poolla,

Volume: 1, Page 1248 Paper number 4805

Abstract:

In this paper we investigate the problem of identifying static nonlinear maps as part of a general, structured interconnected system. The static nonlinear maps that require identification are not naturally parameterized via basis functions or other expansions. Thus, we are interested in non-parametric identification of these nonlinear maps. The particular focus of this paper is the issue of ``identifiability''. Loosely speaking, the static nonlinear maps in an interconnected system are identifiable if it is possible to determine them uniquely on the basis of input-output experiments. As is well known, identifiability concepts are of fundamental importance in system identification. In this paper, we focus on the case where only the static nonlinearity needs to be identified and the linear components of the interconnection are known. We offer a readily computable test for identifiability in the case that the inputs to every nonlinear map are measured. This test reduces to a matrix positivity computation.

Identification of an Univariate Function in a Nonlinear Dynamical Model

Authors:

Benoit David, Georges Bastin,

Volume: 1, Page 1254 Paper number 4806

Abstract:

This paper addresses the problem of estimating, from measurement data corrupted by highly correlated noise, the shape of an unknown scalar and univariate function hidden in a known phenomenological model of the system. The method makes use of the Vapnik's support vector regression to find the structure of a parametrized black box model of the unknown function. Then the parameters of the black box model are identified using a maximum likelihood estimation method specially well suited to cope with correlated noise. The ability of the method to provide an accurate confidence bound for the unknown function is clearly illustrated from a simulation example.
