Linear Matrix Inequalities in System and Control Theory

From the Publisher:
A comprehensive treatment of model-based fuzzy control systems
This volume offers full coverage of the systematic framework for the stability and design of nonlinear fuzzy control systems. Building on the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model, authors Tanaka and Wang address a number of important issues in fuzzy control systems, including stability analysis, systematic design procedures, incorporation of performance specifications, numerical implementations, and practical applications.
Issues that have not been fully treated in existing texts, such as stability analysis, systematic design, and performance analysis, are crucial to the validity and applicability of fuzzy control methodology. Fuzzy Control Systems Design and Analysis addresses these issues in the framework of parallel distributed compensation, a controller structure devised in accordance with the fuzzy model.
This balanced treatment features an overview of fuzzy control, modeling, and stability analysis, as well as a section on the use of linear matrix inequalities (LMI) as an approach to fuzzy design and control. It also covers advanced topics in model-based fuzzy control systems, including modeling and control of chaotic systems. Later sections offer practical examples in the form of detailed theoretical and experimental studies of fuzzy control in robotic systems and a discussion of future directions in the field.
Fuzzy Control Systems Design and Analysis offers an advanced treatment of fuzzy control that makes a useful reference for researchers and a reliable text for advanced graduate students in the field.

Fuzzy Control Systems Design and Analysis: A Linear Matrix Inequality Approach

Survey Research on gain scheduling

An important class of linear time-varying systems consists of plants where the state-space matrices are fixed functions of some time-varying physical parameters /spl theta/. Small gain techniques can be applied to such systems to derive robust time-invariant controllers. Yet, this approach is often overly conservative when the parameters /spl theta/ undergo large variations during system operation. In general, higher performance can be achieved by control laws that incorporate available measurements of /spl theta/ and therefore "adjust" to the current plant dynamics. This paper discusses extensions of H/sub /spl infin// synthesis techniques to allow for controller dependence on time-varying but measured parameters. When this dependence is linear fractional, the existence of such gain-scheduled H/sub /spl infin// controllers is fully characterized in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The underlying synthesis problem is therefore a convex program for which efficient optimization techniques are available. The formalism and derivation techniques developed here apply to both the continuous- and discrete-time problems. Existence conditions for robust time-invariant controllers are recovered as a special case, and extensions to gain-scheduling in the face of parametric uncertainty are discussed. In particular, simple heuristics are proposed to compute such controllers. >

A convex characterization of gain-scheduled H/sub /spl infin// controllers

This paper describes a new MATLAB-based toolbox for control design via linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. After a brief review of LMIs and of some of their applications to control, the toolbox contents and capabilities are presented. >

Self-scheduled H ∞ control of linear parameter-varying systems: a design example

A linear, finite-dimensional plant, with state-space parameter dependence, is controlled using a parameter-dependent controller. The parameters whose values are in a compact set, are known in real time. Their rates of variation are bounded and known in real time also. The goal of control is to stabilize the parameter-dependent closed-loop system, and provide disturbance/error attenuation as measured in induced L2 norm. Our approach uses a bounding technique based on a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, and then solves the control synthesis problem by reformulating the existence conditions into a semi-infinite dimensional convex optimization. We propose finite dimensional approximations to get sufficient conditions for successful controller design.

Induced L2-norm control for LPV systems with bounded parameter variation rates

A linear, finite-dimensional plant, with state-space parameter dependence, is controlled using a parameter-dependent controller. The parameters whose values are in a compact set, are known in real time. Their rates of variation are bounded and known in real time also. The goal of control is to stabilize the parameter-dependent closed-loop system, and provide disturbance/error attenuation as measured in induced L/sub 2/ norm. The authors' approach uses a parameter-dependent Lyapunov function, and solves the control synthesis problem by reformulating the existence conditions into an semi-infinite dimensional convex optimization. The authors propose finite dimensional approximations to get sufficient conditions for successful controller design.
