QFT Controller Optimization For Automatic Design

Authors:

Vincent Croulard, Emmanuel Godoy, Jerome Boichot,

Volume: 1, Page 4735 Paper number 1420

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.

Hybrid Feedback Controls and Stabilization of Linear Differential Systems

Authors:

Elena Litsyn, Yurii V. Nepomnyashchikh, Arcady Ponosov,

Volume: 1, Page 4741 Paper number 15

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.

QFT Based Gain-Scheduling Control Design for Linear Time-Varying Systems

Authors:

Jae Weon Choi, Ki Hong Im, J. Jim Zhu,

Volume: 1, Page 4747 Paper number 2079

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.

Improvability of Feedback Systems

Authors:

Yongsoon Eun, Pierre T. Kabamba, Semyon M. Meerkov,

Volume: 1, Page 4753 Paper number 1478

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.

On Minimax Identification: Method of Dual Optimization

Authors:

A.R. Pankov, E.N. Platonov, K.V. Siemenikhin,

Volume: 1, Page 4759 Paper number 1331

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.
