PWM-Type Discrete VSS Controller For On/Off Actuator Systems

Authors:

Takaaki Iwata, Masaki Yamakita, Katsuhisa Furuta,

Volume: 1, Page 5131 Paper number 1562

Abstract:

In this paper, a regulation problem for systems whose control input signal is restricted to On/Off pulses with large sampling periods is considered. A control law is designed for a class of single input systems will full state information and does not require the system to be stable. First, a sliding sector for discrete-time system is defined based on a norm of the system state where the norm decreases inside the sliding sector. Then the PWM-type discrete-time VSS control law is designed to move the system state from the outside to the inside of the sliding sector. Simulation shows the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Optimal Initial Value Compensation for Fast Settling Times in Mode-Switching Control Systems

Authors:

Mikael Johansson,

Volume: 1, Page 5137 Paper number 1746

Abstract:

This paper presents an approach to state initialization of heterogeneous mode-switching controllers. It is shown how the controller initialization that achieves the minimal settling time for the closed-loop system can be computed via convex optimization. Algorithms are given that minimize the worst-case settling time for all initial values in a polytope or an ellipsoid. The approach can also account for state and control constraints. Special attention is given to systems with bias disturbance and it is shown how the worst-case settling time can be minimized also when the exact value of the bias is not known. Finally, we show how the settling times can be improved further by adding an impulsive control at the switching instant. The impulsive control can be optimized jointly with the initial value compensator to achieve a minimal settling time.

Dynamic Modeling and Adaptive VSC of Two-Link Flexible Manipulators Using a Hybrid Sliding Surface

Authors:

Wen-Jun Cao, Jian-Xin Xu,

Volume: 1, Page 5143 Paper number 1410

Abstract:

To suppress the resonance modes of flexible manipulator and to expedite the convergence, a hybrid sliding mode consisting of Frequency Shaped Optimal Sliding Mode (FSOSM) and Terminal Sliding Mode (TSM) is proposed and applied to two-link flexible manipulator, which is an extension of our previous work [1]. An Adaptive Variable Structure Control (AVSC) is designed to estimate the upper bounds on the norm of uncertainties. The adaptation law generates a relatively small gain in the initial stage to reduce the impact to the system and a higher gain at the equilibrium to lower steady state error. Dead zone scheme is introduced to further improve system robustness. Attractiveness of the dead zone for the proposed AVSC is proven. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Graph Constrained Switching Differential Games

Authors:

João Borges de Sousa, Fernando Lobo Pereira,

Volume: 1, Page 5149 Paper number 9158

Abstract:

In this paper we discuss a two-person zero-sum differential game of finite horizon with graph-constrained control strategies. We prove the existence of value and state optimality conditions in terms of value functions that solve a coupled system of quasi-variational inequalities.

On Geometry of Control Systems Equivalent to Canonical Contact Systems: Regular Points, Singular Points, and Flatness

Authors:

William Pasillas-Lépine, Witold Respondek,

Volume: 1, Page 5151 Paper number 2124

Abstract:

We give necessary and sufficient geometric conditions for a nonlinear control system to be feedback equivalent to a canonical contact system for curves. We study the geometry of that class of systems, in particular, the existence of involutive subdistributions of corank one. We also distinguish regular points, at which the system is equivalent to the canonical contact system, and singular points. We show how the geometry of the studied class of systems is reflected by their flatness.
