Decentralized observer-based stabilization for a class of interconnected systems

A decentralized output feedback law for a class of interconnected systems is described. The proposed output feedback scheme is based on the decentralized reconstruction of the unmeasurable subsystem state variables and interacting state variables. A sufficient condition is given for the overall system to be stabilizable by using the proposed output feedback control law.     

Decentralized control of dynamically interconnected systems

Interconnected systems, where the subsystems are interconnected by some dynamic interaction system, are considered. It is shown that this type of system can be stabilized by decentralized dynamic output feedback, if the subsystems are stabilizable by (centralized) dynamic output feedback and the interaction system is stable. The relation to previous results is discussed.

Robust decentralized model reference adaptive control of discrete-time interconnected systems

A robust decentralized model reference adaptive controller is proposed for a class of large-scale systems composed of several interconnected subsystems and described by state space equations. We have formulated a local adaptive controller for each subsystem using only local information such that the state of this subsystem tracks the corresponding state of a reference model. The content of the paper is limited to interconnected subsystems which are described by linear, deterministic, single-input single-output and discrete-time models with unknown and/or slowly time-varying parameters. Sufficient conditions, formulated by utilizing Lyapunov theory, are given for the overall system to be stabilizable by decentralized state feedback adaptive control laws. The results are illustrated by a numerical example.     

Optimality of decentralized control for large-scale systems

A decentralized control scheme is given for the stabilization of large-scale linear systems composed of a number of controllable subsystems. A class of interconnection structures among subsystems is defined for which the overall system can always be stabilized by local state feedback which is optimal for a quadratic performance index. The resulting closed-loop system has robust stability properties against a wide range of variations in open-loop dynamics. Optimality of the decentralized control law is preserved for a modified performance index under perturbations in interconnections such that the strength of coupling does not increase. The class of decentrally stabilizable large-scale systems presented in this paper is the largest such class hitherto described by the structure of interconnections.

On decentralized stabilization and structure of linear large scale systems

Connective stabilizability of large-scale systems, which are composed of interconnected subsystems, is considered using decentralized feedback. Both analytical and graph-theoretic conditions are derived directly in terms of the interconnection structure, which ensure that stability of the overall closed-loop system is invariant under the structural perturbations caused by disconnections and reconnections of links among the subsystems. The conditions characterize a large class of decentrally stabilizable systems, which includes all classes of connectively stabilizable interconnected systems considered so far.

Quadratic Stabilizability for Polytopic Uncertain Switched Linear Systems via Switched Observer

In this paper, we study a quadratic stabilizability problem via switched observer for uncertain continuous‐time switched linear systems in the sense that the subsystem's matrices are represented as a polytopic linear combination of vertex matrices. Firstly, sufficient conditions for polytopic uncertain continuous‐time switched linear systems to be quadratically stabilizable via state feedback are summarized. Next, sufficient conditions for polytopic uncertain switched linear systems to be quadratically stabilizable via switched observer are given under the assumption that output matrices of subsystems have no uncertainties. Further, a numerical example is also investigated.     

Decentralized control: a stable proper fractional approach

Three decentralized control problems are considered in a fractional setup for two-channel multivariable systems. All three problems are instances of decentralized control or local output feedback problems. The problems are: (i) making the system stabilizable and detectable through the first channel via dynamic output feedback around the second channel, (ii) the first problem with the constraint of internal stability, and (iii) the decentralized stabilization problem. All three problems are equivalent as far as the solvability conditions are concerned. A characterization of all solutions in each case is given. The results apply to a class of systems having fractional representations over an arbitrary principal ideal domain     

On Asymptotic Stabilizability of Linear Systems With Delayed Input

This paper examines the asymptotic stabilizability of linear systems with delayed input. By explicit construction of stabilizing feedback laws, it is shown that a stabilizable and detectable linear system with an arbitrarily large delay in the input can be asymptotically stabilized by either linear state or output feedback as long as the open-loop system is not exponentially unstable (i.e., all the open-loop poles are on the closed left-half plane). A simple example shows that such results would not be true if the open-loop system is exponentially unstable. It is further shown that such systems, when subject to actuator saturation, are semiglobally asymptotically stabilizable by linear state or output feedback.     

On algebraic properties of general proper decentralized systems

The new concepts of the decentralized output feedback variable polynomial, the decentralized output feedback cycle index of general proper systems, and the geometric multiplicities of decentralized fixed modes are introduced. Their computational methods and some algebraic properties are presented. It is shown that the decentralized output feedback cycle index of a general proper system is equal to one when the system has no fixed modes or equal to the maximum of the geometric multiplicities of its decentralized fixed modes. It is also shown that almost all decentralized output feedback can be used to make the zeros of the decentralized variable polynomial distinct, and disjoint from any given finite set of points on the complex plane.     

An optimal control based approach to designing plantwide control system architectures

An approach to designing decentralized plantwide control system architectures is presented. The approach is based on splitting the optimal controller gain matrix that results from solving an output optimal control problem into feedback and feedforward parts. These two parts are then used to design and evaluate decentralized control systems. Results for the application of the methodology to a realistic, 4 by 4 reactor with recycle process are given. For this system, the optimal control based approach suggests feedback pairings that are significantly different than those suggested by the steady state RGA. The approach presented can give an indication if MPC is preferred over a decentralized approach to plantwide control. Comparison of the results produced by the best decentralized plantwide system and a model predictive control system are presented.     

Decentralized adaptive stabilization in the presence of unknown backlash-like hysteresis

Due to the difficulty of handling both hysteresis and interactions between subsystems, there is still no result available on decentralized stabilization of unknown interconnected systems with hysteresis, even though the problem is practical and important. In this paper, we provide solutions to this challenging problem by proposing two new schemes to design decentralized output feedback adaptive controllers using backstepping approach. For each subsystem, a general transfer function with arbitrary relative degree is considered. The interactions between subsystems are allowed to satisfy a nonlinear bound with certain structural conditions. In the first scheme, no knowledge is assumed on the bounds of unknown system parameters. In case that the uncertain parameters are inside known compact sets, we propose an alternative scheme where a projection operation is employed in the adaptive laws. In both schemes, the effects of the hysteresis and the effects due to interactions are taken into consideration in devising local control laws. It is shown that the designed local adaptive controllers can ensure all the signals in the closed-loop system bounded. A root mean square type of bound is obtained for the system states as a function of design parameters. This implies that the transient system performance can be adjusted by choosing suitable design parameters. With Scheme II, the proposed control laws allow arbitrarily strong interactions provided their upper bounds are available. In the absence of hysteresis, perfect stabilization is ensured and the L₂ norm of the system states is also shown to be bounded by a function of design parameters when the second scheme is applied.

On impulsive algebraic multiplicities of linear time-invariant singular systems under feedback

Impulsive algebraic multiplicities of linear time-invariant singular systems under output feedback or decentralized output feedback are characterized in terms of system matrices directly. The multiplicities describe the number of impulsive modes that can be eliminated and indicate the number of finite poles that can be assigned by the respective feedback. These characterizations also lead to new regularizability conditions for singular systems.
