Closed‐form solution to finite‐horizon suboptimal control of nonlinear systems

Finite‐horizon optimal control of input‐affine nonlinear systems with fixed final time is considered in this study. It is first shown that the associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman partial differential equation to the problem is reducible to a state‐dependent differential Riccati equation after some approximations. With a truncation in the control equation, a near optimal solution to the problem is obtained, and the global onvergence properties of the closed‐loop system are analyzed. Afterwards, an approximate method, called Finite‐horizon State‐Dependent Riccati Equation (Finite‐SDRE), is suggested for solving the differential Riccati equation, which renders the origin a locally exponentially stable point. The proposed method provides online feedback solution for controlling different initial conditions. Finally, through some examples, the performance of the resulting controller in finite‐horizon control is analyzed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal control of an advection-dominated catalytic fixed-bed reactor with catalyst deactivation

The paper focuses on the linear-quadratic control problem for a time-varying partial differential equation model of a catalytic fixed-bed reactor. The classical Riccati equation approach, for time-varying infinite-dimensional systems, is extended to cover the two-time scale property of the fixed-bed reactor. Dynamical properties of the linearized model are analyzed using the concept of evolution systems. An optimal LQ-feedback is computed via the solution of a matrix Riccati partial differential equation. Numerical simulations are performed to evaluate the closed loop performance of the designed controller on the fixed-bed reactor. The performance of the proposed controller is compared to performance of an infinite dimensional controller formulated by ignoring the catalyst deactivation. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed controller is better compared to the controller ignoring the catalyst deactivation when the deactivation time is close to the resident time of the reactor.     

Robust wedge-stability analysis and design of continuous constrained systems with stability radii

In this paper, based on stability radii, a sufficient condition is first proposed to ensure the robust wedge stability of continuous-time constrained systems with state feedback. The saturated actuator is reformulated as a conditioned linear actuator subject to structured uncertainties and then an auxiliary matrix is introduced so that the closed-loop system can be characterized into a scheme of stability radius approach. We also investigate the issue of maximizing complex stability radius subject to a wedge region by state feedback. Through iteratively solving a parametrized Riccati equation, a desired maximizing state feedback controller corresponding to the prescribed wedge subregion can be obtained. An example is given to illustrate the design algorithm and to reveal the feasibility of stability radius approach for continuous-time constrained systems.     

On the stable ℋ∞ controller parameterizationunder sufficient condition

Suboptimal ℋ_∞ controller is said to internally stabilize the closed loop transfer matrix. However, the stability of the controller is not assured in the conventional ℋ _∞ control theory. An unstable controller can damage the whole system when the sensor fails or actuator saturates. This paper presents a stable n-dimensional ℋ_∞ controller and its parameterization for the LTI system based on the sufficient condition for the existence of a stable ℋ_∞ controller. The stability of ℋ_∞ controller and closed-loop transfer matrix is guaranteed if the positive-semidefinite solutions for the suggested three Riccati equations exist     

Synthesis of minimax optimal controllers for uncertain time-delay systems with structured uncertainty

This paper is concerned with the design of robust state feedback controllers for a class of uncertain time-delay systems. The uncertainty is assumed to satisfy a certain integral quadratic constraint. The controller proposed is a minimax optimal controller in the sense that it minimizes the maximum value of a corresponding linear quadratic cost function over all admissible uncertainties. The controller leads to an absolutely stable closed loop uncertain system and is constructed by solving a finite dimensional parameter-dependent algebraic Riccati equation.     

Welding current and arc voltage control in a GMAW process using ARMarkov based MPC

A predictive functional controller based on ARMarkov model structure has been designed to control welding current and arc voltage in a GMAW process. The closed loop system performance is investigated through computer simulations and is compared by those achieved from implementing two commonly used controllers i.e. PI and feedback linearization based PID. The local stability of the closed loop system is analyzed in the presence of uncertainties in the linearized model of the process as well as the control parameters. Finally it is shown that the proposed controller performs like a PI controller along with a pre-filter compensator.     

H 2 design of one-degree-of-freedom decoupling controllers for square plants

Decoupling design of one-degree-of-freedom controllers is treated for the generalised plant model within the H ₂ framework. The class of all realisable closed loop transfer matrices is parametrised under a mild assumption on non-unity feedback sensors. A set of compact assumptions is presented to guarantee the existence of the optimal H ₂ controller. Together with the optimal one, the class of all H ₂ controllers that yield finite H ₂ cost is obtained. The optimal closed transfer matrix and its associated controller are shown to be strictly proper under the reasonable order assumptions on the generalised plant.

Optimal robot‐environment interaction using inverse differential Riccati equation

An optimal robot‐environment interaction is designed by transforming an environment model into an optimal control problem. In the optimal control, the inverse differential Riccati equation is introduced as a fixed‐end‐point closed‐loop optimal control over a specific time interval. Then, the environment model, including interaction force, is formulated in a state equation, and the optimal trajectory is determined by minimizing a cost function. Position control is proposed, and the stability of the closed‐loop system is investigated using the Lyapunov direct method. Finally, theoretical developments are verified through numerical simulation.     

OUTPUT FEEDBACK GUARANTEED COST CONTROL OF UNCERTAIN SYSTEMS ON AN INFINITE TIME INTERVAL

This paper considers the problem of optimal guaranteed cost control of an uncertain system via output feedback. The uncertain system under consideration contains an uncertainty block subject to an integral quadratic constraint. The cost function considered is a quadratic cost function defined over an infinite time interval. The main result of the paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a guaranteed cost controller guaranteeing a specified level of performance. This condition is given in terms of the existence of suitable solutions to an algebraic Riccati equation and a Riccati differential equation. The resulting guaranteed cost controller is in general time-varying. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

H2 control of discrete-time periodic systems with Markovian jumps and multiplicative noise

This paper addresses the problem of optimal and robust H₂ control for discrete-time periodic systems with Markov jump parameters and multiplicative noise. To analyse the system performance in the presence of exogenous random disturbance, an H₂ norm is firstly established on the basis of Gramian matrices. Further, under the condition of exact observability, a necessary and sufficient condition is presented for the solvability of H₂ optimal control problem by means of a generalised Riccati equation. When the transition probabilities of jump parameter are incompletely measurable, an H₂-guaranteed cost norm is exploited and the robust H₂ controller is designed through a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimisation approach. An example of a networked control system is supplied to illustrate the proposed results.     

Optimal Output Feedback Controllers for Spacecraft Attitude Tracking

This paper investigates the problem of output feedback attitude tracking control of a rigid spacecraft in the presence of external disturbances. Two optimal control laws with a disturbance estimator are developed to deal with this problem. An adapted extended state observer is used to estimate the angular velocity tracking errors and to allow for compensation for the total disturbances. The proposed control can be expressed as the sum of a nonlinear optimal controller and an estimated disturbance. For the optimal controller, the state‐dependent Riccati equation and optimal Lyapunov techniques are employed to solve the infinite‐time nonlinear optimal control problem. The developed controllers can minimize a performance index and ensure the stability of the closed‐loop system and external disturbance attenuation. On the other hand, using the adapted extended state observer, the asymptotic convergence of estimation error dynamics is proven. An example of multiaxial attitude manoeuvres is given and simulation results are included to demonstrate and verify the usefulness of the proposed controllers.

<Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">H</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript>-Control and the Separation Principle for Discrete-Time Markovian Jump Linear Systems

In this paper we consider the H₂-control problem of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems. We assume that only an output and the jump parameters are available to the controller. It is desired to design a dynamic Markovian jump controller such that the closed-loop system is mean square stable and minimizes the H₂-norm of the system. As in the case with no jumps, we show that an optimal controller can be obtained from two sets of coupled algebraic Riccati equations, one associated with the optimal control problem when the state variable is available, and the other associated with the optimal filtering problem. This is the principle of separation for discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems. When there is only one mode of operation our results coincide with the traditional separation principle for the H₂-control of discrete-time linear systems. Date received: June 1, 2001.

Decentralized state-feedback stabilization and robust control of uncertain large-scale systems with integrally constrained interconnections

This paper is concerned with a problem of stabilization and robust control design for interconnected uncertain systems. A new class of uncertain large-scale systems is considered in which interconnections between subsystems as well as uncertainties in each subsystem are described by integral quadratic constraints. The problem is to design a set of local (decentralized) controllers which stabilize the overall system and guarantee robust disturbance attenuation in the presence of the uncertainty in interconnections between subsystems as well as in each subsystem. The paper presents necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a controller. The proposed design is based on recent absolute stabilization and minimax optimal control results and employs solutions of a set of game-type Riccati algebraic equations arising in H_∞ control.

This paper considers a minimax control problem for an uncertain system containing structured uncertainties. The uncertainties in this system are assumed to satisfy a certain integral quadratic constraint. For a given initial condition, the minimax optimal controller is constructed by solving a parameter-dependent Riccati equation of the game type. This controller leads to a closed-loop uncertain system which is absolutely stable.
