Abstract:
In case of robust control, the Quantitative Feedback Theory controller
design can be considered as an alternative to the nu-synthesis. Particularly,
it allows to obtain controllers less conservative than other methods
like H-infinity. Loop-shaping algorithms have been proposed but their
implementations remain complex for automatic controller design and
is still an open question. This paper proposes an automatic QFT closed-loop
design method based on a 2 steps optimization algorithm in case of
SISO systems.

Abstract:
We study so-called "hybrid feedback stabilizers" for an arbitrarily
general system of linear differential equations. We prove that under
assumptions of controllability and observability there exists a hybrid
feedback output control which makes the system asymptotically stable.
The control is designed by making use of a discrete automaton implanted
into the system's dynamics. In general, the automaton has infinitely
many locations, but it gives rise to an "uniform" (in some sense) feedback
control. The approach we propose goes back to the classical feedback
control technique combined with some ideas used in the stability theory
for equations with time-delay.

Abstract:
Most of linear time-varying(LTV) systems except special cases have
no general solution for the dynamic equations. Thus, it is difficult
to design time-varying controllers in analytic ways, and other control
design approaches such as robust control and gain-scheduling have been
applied to control design for the LTV systems. A robust control method
such as quantitative feedback theory(QFT) has an advantage of guaranteeing
the stability and the performance specification in frozen time sense.
However, if these methods are applied to the approximated linear time-invariant(LTI)
plants with large uncertainty, the designed control will be constructed
in complicated forms and usually not suitable for fast dynamic performance.
In this paper, as a method to enhance the fast dynamic performance,
the approximated uncertainty of time-varying parameters are reduced
by the proposed gain-scheduling control design based on QFT for LTV
systems with bounded time-varying parameters. To generate a continuous
and smooth gain-scheduling function, multi-layer neural network is
used.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the notion of improvability and bottlenecks of
feedback systems in the context of instrumentation cost. Specifically,
a feedback system is improvable if its performance can be enhanced
by re-allocating sensor and actuator costs under budget constraints.
We derive a criterion which determines when the system is improvable,
using the LQG performance index. In addition, we introduce and analyze
the notion of instrumentation bottleneck and provide a criterion for
bottleneck identification. An important feature of the results derived
is that both improvability and BN indicators can be evaluated using
on-line measurements in the feedback loop, without requiring precise
knowledge of the plant data. Examples illustrating results are provided.

Abstract:
The problem of minimax affine identification of the linear uncertain-stochastic
multivariate model is considered. The minimax optimization problem
together with the corresponding dual one are stated and examined. The
necessary and sufficient conditions for the minimax affine estimate
to exist and to be determined analytically via the dual problem solution
are given. The algorithm of minimax stochastic estimation for the infinite-dimensional
model given a finite number of observations is also considered. The
numerical method for the minimax estimation is described, and the results
of computer modeling are presented.
