Set Stabilization Of Sampled-Data Nonlinear Differential Inclusions Via Their Approximate Discrete-Time Models

Authors:

Dragan Nesić, Andrew R. Teel,

Volume: 1, Page 2112 Paper number 1201

Abstract:

We present conditions under which a family of controllers that semiglobally-practically asymptotically (SPA) stabilizes a set for a family of discrete-time approximations of a nonlinear differential inclusion also SPA stabilizes that set for the inclusion's family of exact discrete-time models, for sufficiently small sampling periods. The result has the following important features: it does not require any regularity assumptions on the designed controllers; it is applicable to dynamic control laws; and it is stated for stability with respect to sets that are not necessarily compact.

Attractors Under Perturbation And Discretization

Authors:

Lars Grüne,

Volume: 1, Page 2118 Paper number 1202

Abstract:

Using control theoretic techniques we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of attractors in one step discretizations of ordinary differential equations and obtain estimates for the resulting discretization error. The necessary and sufficient condition is based on a robustness property for an associated perturbed system, which is closely related to but slightly weaker than the input-to-state stability property well known in control theory.

An Algorithm For The Optimal Control Of The Driving Of Trains

Authors:

Rüdiger Franke, Peter Terwiesch, Markus Meyer,

Volume: 1, Page 2123 Paper number 1203

Abstract:

We discuss an algorithm that optimizes the driving style of a train. The objective is to minimize the electrical energy used for traction subject to constraints such as travel time, speed limits, available traction power, etc. The optimization is based on a nonlinear point-mass model of the train, which includes the equations of motion and which considers the setpoint-dependent efficiency of the propulsion system. Although nonlinear, the equations of motion are formulated in a way that allows their piecewise analytical solution, thus greatly increasing computational efficiency. A discrete dynamic programming algorithm is developed for the deterministic and efficient numerical solution of the nonlinear optimal control problem. Both simulation results and practical measurements indicate energy savings between 10 and 30%, depending on operating conditions. The resulting optimal driving style is qualitatively different from previous solutions obtained with more simplified train models as reported in the literature. The algorithm forms a suitable basis for a nonlinear model-predictive controller operating in hard real time.

Computing Control Lyapunov Functions via a Zubov Type Algorithm

Authors:

Lars Grüne, Fabian Wirth,

Volume: 1, Page 2129 Paper number 1204

Abstract:

In this paper we present a scheme for the determination of control Lyapunov functions which can be used as a basis for numerical computations. Under the assumption of local asymptotic nullcontrollability we define the domain of asymptotic nullcontrollability. On this set a control Lyapunov function is defined via an optimal control problem. It is then shown that this function can be characterized as the unique viscosity solution of a partial differential equation which can be interpreted as a generalization of Zubov's equation.

Computation of Control Sets Using Subdivision and Continuation Techniques

Authors:

Dietmar Szolnoki,

Volume: 1, Page 2135 Paper number 1205

Abstract:

A key notion for the analysis of the global behavior of control systems are control sets. Control sets are subsets of the state space where approximate controllability holds: from every point in a control set one can steer arbitrarily close to any other point in the control set. In general it is not possible to find explicit formulas for control sets and their domains of attraction. Therefore numerical methods are a natural part of a systematic analysis. We will present a method for the computation of control sets, which is based on subdivision and continuation techniques.
