Boundary stabilization of a cascade of ODE‐wave systems subject to boundary control matched disturbance

In this paper, we are concerned with a cascade of ODE‐wave systems with the control actuator‐matched disturbance at the boundary of the wave equation. We use the sliding mode control (SMC) technique and the active disturbance rejection control method to overcome the disturbance, respectively. By the SMC approach, the disturbance is supposed to be bounded only. The existence and uniqueness of solution for the closed‐loop via SMC are proved, and the monotonicity of the ‘reaching condition’ is presented without the differentiation of the sliding mode function, for which it may not always exist for the weak solution of the closed‐loop system. Considering that the SMC usually requires the large control gain and may exhibit chattering behavior, we then develop an active disturbance rejection control to attenuate the disturbance. The disturbance is canceled in the feedback loop. The closed‐loop systems with constant high gain and time‐varying high gain are shown respectively to be practically stable and asymptotically stable. Then we continue to consider output feedback stabilization for this coupled ODE‐wave system, and we design a variable structure unknown input‐type state observer that is shown to be exponentially convergent. The disturbance is estimated through the extended state observer and then canceled in the feedback loop by its approximated value. These enable us to design an observer‐based output feedback stabilizing control to this uncertain coupled system. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The active disturbance rejection control approach to stabilisation of coupled heat and ODE system subject to boundary control matched disturbance

We consider stabilisation for a linear ordinary differential equation system with input dynamics governed by a heat equation, subject to boundary control matched disturbance. The active disturbance rejection control approach is applied to estimate, in real time, the disturbance with both constant high gain and time-varying high gain. The disturbance is cancelled in the feedback loop. The closed-loop systems with constant high gain and time-varying high gain are shown, respectively, to be practically stable and asymptotically stable.     

Sliding mode control and active disturbance rejection control to the stabilization of one‐dimensional Schrödinger equation subject to boundary control matched disturbance

In this paper, we are concerned with the boundary stabilization of a one‐dimensional anti‐stable Schrödinger equation subject to boundary control matched disturbance. We apply both the sliding mode control (SMC) and the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) to deal with the disturbance. By the SMC approach, the disturbance is supposed to be bounded only. The existence and uniqueness of the solution for the closed‐loop system is proved and the ‘reaching condition’ is obtained. Considering the SMC usually requires the large control gain and may exhibit chattering behavior, we develop the ADRC to attenuate the disturbance for which the derivative is also supposed to be bounded. Compared with the SMC, the advantage of the ADRC is not only using the continuous control but also giving an online estimation of the disturbance. It is shown that the resulting closed‐loop system can reach any arbitrary given vicinity of zero as time goes to infinity and high gain tuning parameter goes to zero.

Output feedback stabilisation for a cascaded wave PDE-ODE system subject to boundary control matched disturbance

In this paper, we consider output feedback stabilisation for a wave PDE-ODE system with Dirichlet boundary interconnection and external disturbance flowing the control end. We first design a variable structure unknown input type state observer which is shown to be exponentially convergent. Then, we estimate the disturbance in terms of the estimated state, an idea from active disturbance rejection control. These enable us to design an observer-based output feedback stabilising control to this uncertain PDE-ODE system.

Active disturbance rejection control to MIMO nonlinear systems with stochastic uncertainties: approximate decoupling and output-feedback stabilisation

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we apply the active disturbance rejection control, an emerging control technology, to output-feedback stabilisation for a class of uncertain multi-input multi-output nonlinear systems with vast stochastic uncertainties. Two types of extended state observers (ESO) are designed to estimate both unmeasured states and stochastic total disturbance which includes unknown system dynamics, unknown stochastic inverse dynamics, external stochastic disturbance without requiring the statistical characteristics, uncertain nonlinear interactions between subsystems, and uncertainties caused by the deviation of control parameters from their nominal values. The estimations decouple approximately the system after cancelling stochastic total disturbance in the feedback loop. As a result, we are able to design an ESO-based stabilising output-feedback and prove the practical mean square stability for the closed-loop system with constant gain ESO and the asymptotic mean square stability with time-varying gain ESO, respectively. Some numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed output-feedback control scheme.     

Parameter estimation and stabilization for a wave equation with boundary output harmonic disturbance and non‐collocated control

This paper is concerned with the parameter estimation and stabilization of a one‐dimensional wave equation with harmonic disturbance suffered by boundary observation at one end and the non‐collocated control at the other end. An adaptive observer is designed in terms of measured velocity corrupted by harmonic disturbance with unknown magnitude. The backstepping method for infinite‐dimensional system is adopted in the design of the feedback law. It is shown that the resulting closed‐loop system is asymptotically stable. Meanwhile, the estimated parameter is shown to be convergent to the unknown parameter as time goes to infinity. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Output feedback stabilization of an unstable wave equation with general corrupted boundary observation

We consider boundary output feedback stabilization for an unstable wave equation with boundary observation subject to a general disturbance. We adopt for the first time the active disturbance rejection control approach to stabilization for a system described by the partial differential equation with corrupted output feedback. By the approach, the disturbance is first estimated by a relatively independent estimator; it is then canceled in the feedback loop. As a result, the control law can be designed almost as that for the system without disturbance. We show that with a time varying gain properly designed, the observer driven by the disturbance estimator is convergent, and that all subsystems in the closed-loop are asymptotically stable in the energy state space. We also provide numerical simulations which demonstrate the convergence results and underline the effect of the time varying gain estimator on peaking value reduction.

Mittag‐Leffler stabilization for an unstable time‐fractional anomalous diffusion equation with boundary control matched disturbance

This paper addresses the Mittag‐Leffler stabilization for an unstable time‐fractional anomalous diffusion equation with boundary control subject to the control matched disturbance. The active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) approach is adopted for developing the control law. A state‐feedback scheme is designed to estimate the disturbance by constructing two auxiliary systems: One is to separate the disturbance from the original system to a Mittag‐Leffler stable system and the other is to estimate the disturbance finally. The proposed control law compensates the disturbance using its estimation and stabilizes system asymptotically. The closed‐loop system is shown to be Mittag‐Leffler stable and the constructed auxiliary systems in the closed loop are proved to be bounded. This is the first time for ADRC to be applied to a system described by the fractional partial differential system without using the high gain.     

Output‐based disturbance rejection control for 1‐D anti‐stable Schrödinger equation with boundary input matched unknown disturbance

In this paper, we are concerned with the output feedback control design for a system (plant) described by a boundary controlled anti‐stable one‐dimensional Schrödinger equation. Our output measure signals are the displacements at both side. An untraditional infinite‐dimensional disturbance estimator is developed to estimate the disturbance. Based on the estimator, we propose a state observer that is exponentially convergent to the original system and then design a stabilizing control law consisting of two parts: The first part is to compensate the disturbance by using its approximated value and the second part is to stabilize the observer system by applying the classical backstepping approach. The resulting closed‐loop system is shown to be exponentially stable with guaranteeing that all internal systems are uniformly bounded. An effective output‐based disturbance rejection control algorithm is concluded. An application, namely, a cascade of ODE–wave systems, is investigated by the developed control algorithm. Numerical experiments are carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Practical stabilization of exponentially unstable linear systems subject to actuator saturation nonlinearity and disturbance

This paper investigates the problem of practical stabilization for linear systems subject to actuator saturation and input additive disturbance. Attention is restricted to systems with two anti‐stable modes. For such a system, a family of linear feedback laws is constructed that achieves semi‐global practical stabilization on the asymptotically null controllable region. This is in the sense that, for any set χ₀ in the interior of the asymptotically null controllable region, any (arbitrarily small) set χ_∞ containing the origin in its interior, and any (arbitrarily large) bound on the disturbance, there is a feedback law from the family such that any trajectory of the closed‐loop system enters and remains in the set χ_∞ in a finite time as long as it starts from the set χ₀. In proving the main results, the continuity and monotonicity of the domain of attraction for a class of second‐order systems are revealed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

LMI-based boundary and distributed control design for a flexible string subject to disturbance

In this paper, boundary and distributed controllers are proposed to reduce the vibration of a flexible string with external disturbance. To accurately represent the flexible string's behaviour, partial differential equations are introduced for the flexible string modelling. Boundary and distributed disturbance observers, which are proved exponentially stable, are designed to compensate unknown disturbance. Based on the proposed disturbance observers, the boundary and distributed controllers are developed by linear matrix inequality and the asymptotic stability of the system with controllers is demonstrated by Lyapunov's direct method. Extensive numerical simulations are presented to validate the good performance of the proposed control laws.
