Linear Matrix Inequalities in System and Control Theory

The MATLAB toolbox YALMIP is introduced. It is described how YALMIP can be used to model and solve optimization problems typically occurring in systems and control theory. In this paper, free MATLAB toolbox YALMIP, developed initially to model SDPs and solve these by interfacing eternal solvers. The toolbox makes development of optimization problems in general, and control oriented SDP problems in particular, extremely simple. In fact, learning 3 YALMIP commands is enough for most users to model and solve the optimization problems

Stability of Time-Delay Systems

Being a motion on a discontinuity set of a dynamic system, sliding mode is used to keep accurately a given constraint and features theoretically-infinite-frequency switching. Standard sliding modes provide for finite-time convergence, precise keeping of the constraint and robustness with respect to internal and external disturbances. Yet the relative degree of the constraint has to be 1 and a dangerous chattering effect is possible. Higher-order sliding modes preserve or generalize the main properties of the standard sliding mode and remove the above restrictions. r-Sliding mode realization provides for up to the rth order of sliding precision with respect to the sampling interval compared with the first order of the standard sliding mode. Such controllers require higher-order real-time derivatives of the outputs to be available. The lacking information is achieved by means of proposed arbitrary-order robust exact differentiators with finite-time convergence. These differentiators feature optimal asymptot...

Higher-order sliding modes, differentiation and output-feedback control

An approach to adaptive control of linear systems is presented. It foregoes the traditional certainty-equivalence concept, and treats the control of linear plants with unknown parameters as a nonlinear problem. The states of the resulting adaptive system converge to a manifold whose dimensions are smaller than with any previous scheme. The dynamic order of the resulting controllers is not higher (and in most cases is lower) than that of the existing adaptive schemes. A simulation comparison with a standard indirect linear scheme shows that the new nonlinear scheme achieves far superior transient performance without an increase in control effort. >

A new generation of adaptive controllers for linear systems

A system with backlash and flexibility is compensated with an open-loop optimal control law combined with a linear partial-state feedback law. The compensation of backlash is treated as a rendezvous problem in optimal control, while the linear controller for flexibility is designed using techniques from classical control theory and singular perturbation theory. Simulation results show significant improvements in system tracking performance when backlash compensation is active.

Optimal control of tracking systems with backlash and flexibility

Brief Coordinated passivation designs

Considers nonlinear systems with stable linear unmodeled dynamics at the input. First the authors illustrate the main instability mechanisms on an example. Then the authors propose a dynamic feedback design which guarantees global boundedness in the presence of input unmodeled dynamics. The authors apply this design to feedback linearizable systems, for which global asymptotic stability is also achieved. >

Control of feedback linearizable systems with input unmodeled dynamics

In the path-following problem formulated in this note, it is required that the error between the system output and the desired geometric path eventually be less than any prespecified constant. If in a nonlinear multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) system the output derivatives do not enter into its zero dynamics, a condition relating path geometry and stabilizability of the zero dynamics is given under which a solution to this problem exists. The solution is obtained by combining input-to-state stability and hybrid system methodologies
