Output feedback optimal guaranteed cost control of uncertain piecewise linear systems

This paper proposes the output feedback optimal guaranteed cost controller design method for uncertain piecewise linear systems based on the piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions technique. By constructing piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions for the closed‐loop augmented systems, the existence of the guaranteed cost controller for closed‐loop uncertain piecewise linear systems is cast as the feasibility of a set of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Some of the variables in BMIs are set to be searched by genetic algorithm (GA), then for a given chromosome corresponding to the variables in BMIs, the BMIs turn to be linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), and the corresponding non‐convex optimization problem, which minimizes the upper bound on cost function, reduces to a semidefinite programming (SDP) which is convex and can be solved numerically efficiently with the available software. Thus, the output feedback optimal guaranteed cost controller can be obtained by solving the non‐convex optimization problem using the mixed algorithm that combines GA and SDP. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Dynamic output feedback controller design for fuzzy systems

This paper presents dynamic output feedback controller design for fuzzy dynamic systems. Three kinds of controller design methods are proposed based on a smooth Lyapunov function or a piecewise smooth Lyapunov function. The controller design involves solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMI's) and the control laws are numerically tractable via LMI techniques. The global stability of the closed-loop fuzzy control system is also established.     

Non-fragile control of fuzzy affine dynamic systems via piecewise Lyapunov functions

This paper addresses the robust H_∞ static output feedback (SOF) controller design problem for a class of uncertain fuzzy affine systems that are robust against both the plant parameter perturbations and controller gain variations. More specifically, the purpose is to synthesize a non-fragile piecewise affine SOF controller guaranteeing the stability of the resulting closed-loop fuzzy affine dynamic system with certainH_∞ performance index. Based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions and applying some convexification procedures, two different approaches are proposed to solve the robust and non-fragile piecewise affine SOF controller synthesis problem. It is shown that the piecewise affine controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Dynamic observer-based controllers for linear uncertain systems

This paper addresses robust controller design for uncertain linear systems via a dynamic observer-based controller. A dynamic observer is an alternative structure for a classical observer which can be regarded as a general form of a usual observer and has additional degrees of freedom in the observer structure. Using this new observer structure, a new observer-based controller for linear systems is proposed. Some strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) have been given to find the dynamic observer parameters and controller gain. It is shown that dynamic observer can be used effectively for tackling the drawbacks of the classical observer-based robust controller design methods. As an advantage, LMIs are derived even in the presence of uncertainties in system, input and output matrices simultaneously, whereas by using the traditional observer, bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs) are given in the presence of such uncertainties. Moreover, the proposed LMIs do not imply the equality constraint. Simulation results are used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design technique.     

Approaches to robust ℋ︁∞ static output feedback control of discrete‐time piecewise‐affine systems with norm‐bounded uncertainties

This paper investigates the problem of robust ??_∞ static output feedback controller design for a class of discrete‐time piecewise‐affine systems with norm‐bounded time‐varying parametric uncertainties. The objective is to design a piecewise‐linear static output feedback controller guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of the resulting closed‐loop system with a prescribed ??_∞ disturbance attenuation level. Based on a piecewise Lyapunov function combined with S‐procedure, Projection lemma, and some matrix inequality convexifying techniques, several novel approaches to the static output feedback controller analysis and synthesis are developed for the underlying piecewise‐affine systems. It is shown that the controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) or a family of LMIs parameterized by one or two scalar variables, which are numerically efficient with commercially available software. Finally, three simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Observer‐based controller design of discrete‐time piecewise affine systems

This paper presents a novel observer‐based controller design method for discrete‐time piecewise affine (PWA) systems. The basic idea is as follows: at first, a piecewise linear (without affine terms) state feedback controller and a PWA observer are designed separately, and then it is proved that the output feedback controller constructed by the resulting observer and state feedback controller gains can guarantee the stability of the closed‐loop system. During the controller design, the piecewise‐quadratic Lyapunov function technique is used. Moreover, the region information is taken into account to treat the affine terms, so the controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities, which are numerically feasible with commercially available software. Three simulation examples are given finally to verify the proposed theoretical results. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society

Guaranteed cost control for saturated uncertain linear systems

In this paper, we discuss the problem of guaranteed cost control for uncertain linear systems subject to actuator saturation. Based on the quadratic and non-quadratic Lyapunov functions, sufficient conditions for the robust stability and performance are derived. Moreover, all the conditions can be expressed as linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） or bilinear matrix inequalities （BMIs） in terms of the feedback gain. Thus, the static controller can be effectively synthesized via convex optimization. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the method.

Dynamic output feedback H ∞ control for affine fuzzy systems

This article investigates the problem of designing H _∞ dynamic output feedback controllers for nonlinear systems, which are described by affine fuzzy models. The system outputs have been chosen as premise variables, which can guarantee that the plant and the controller always switch to the same region. By using a piecewise Lyapunov function and adding slack matrix variables, a piecewise-affine dynamic output feedback controller design method is obtained in the formulation of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be efficiently solved numerically. In contrast to the existing work, the proposed approach needs less LMI constraints and leads to less conservatism. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the new result.     

Robust finite-time stabilisation of uncertain linear systems

This article deals with the problem of finite-time stability and stabilisation of uncertain linear systems. For linear time-varying systems subject to norm-bounded uncertainties some conditions for finite-time stability are provided. These conditions are expressed in terms of differential linear matrix inequalities. Then the problem of controller design is tackled, both for the state feedback and for the output feedback case; in both cases the controller can be found solving a suitable set of LMIs. A typical engineering case-study is included, to illustrate the applicability of the devised conditions.     

Feedback stabilization of fuzzy systems via linear matrix inequalities

The design conditions are non-conservative, and the design process is easy to construct by using commercially supported linear matrix inequalities software packages.     

Robust Finite‐Time Stability and Stabilization of Linear Uncertain Time‐Delay Systems

Robust finite‐time stability and stabilization problems for a class of linear uncertain time‐delay systems are studied. The concept of finite‐time stability is extended to linear uncertain time‐delay systems. Based on the Lyapunov method and properties of matrix inequalities, a sufficient condition that ensures finite‐time stability of linear uncertain time‐delay systems is given. By virtue of the results on finite‐time stability, a memoryless state feedback controller that guarantees that the closed‐loop system is finite time stable, is proposed. The controller design problem is solved by using the linear matrix inequalities and the cone complementarity linearization iterative algorithm. Numerical examples verify the efficiency of the proposed methods.     

PID Control of Planar Nonlinear Uncertain Systems in the Presence of Actuator Saturation

This paper investigates PID control design for a class of planar nonlinear uncertain systems in the presence of actuator saturation. Based on the bounds on the growth rates of the nonlinear uncertain function in the system model, the system is placed in a linear differential inclusion. Each vertex system of the linear differential inclusion is a linear system subject to actuator saturation. By placing the saturated PID control into a convex hull formed by the PID controller and an auxiliary linear feedback law, we establish conditions under which an ellipsoid is contractively invariant and hence is an estimate of the domain of attraction of the equilibrium point of the closed-loop system. The equilibrium point corresponds to the desired set point for the system output. Thus, the location of the equilibrium point and the size of the domain of attraction determine, respectively, the set point that the output can achieve and the range of initial conditions from which this set point can be reached. Based on these conditions, the feasible set points can be determined and the design of the PID control law that stabilizes the nonlinear uncertain system at a feasible set point with a large domain of attraction can then be formulated and solved as a constrained optimization problem with constraints in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Application of the proposed design to a magnetic suspension system illustrates the design process and the performance of the resulting PID control law.
