TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a frequency domain-based method for detection and optimal compensation of performance degrading nonlinear effects in Lur'e-type systems, where a sinusoidal response is necessary and sufficient to show the existence of an equivalent linear and time invariant dynamical model that fully captures the system dynamics for a well defined set of input signals and initial conditions.
Abstract: SUMMARY
Nonlinearities often lead to performance degradation in controlled dynamical systems. This paper provides a new, frequency domain-based method, for detection and optimal compensation of performance degrading nonlinear effects in Lur'e-type systems. It is shown that for such systems a sinusoidal response to a sinusoidal input is necessary and sufficient to show the existence of an equivalent linear and time invariant dynamical model that fully captures the systems’ dynamics for a well-defined set of input signals and initial conditions. This allows to quantify nonlinear effects by using a frequency domain performance measure and yields a novel method to design optimized static compensator structures that minimize performance degrading nonlinear effects. Moverover, the methods discussed in this paper allow to quantify the performance of nonlinear systems on the basis of output measurements only while requiring little knowledge about the nonlinearity and other system dynamics, which yields a useful tool to optimize performance in practice without requiring advanced nonlinear modeling or identification techniques. Finally, the theoretical results are accompanied by examples that illustrate their application in practice.Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

TL;DR: In this paper, the nonlinear characteristic output spectrum (nCOS) function can be expressed as an explicit and analytical polynomial function of any model parameters which define underlying linear dynamics of the system and a simple least square algorithm is provided for the determination of this nonlinear parametric relationship.
Abstract: Nonlinear vibration control systems (both passive and active) always involve parameter design and performance optimization tasks. A systematic and novel frequency-domain method is established to this aim in this study based on a newly developed concept—nonlinear characteristic output spectrum (nCOS). The nCOS function can be any system output function or multiobjective performance function to be optimized. It is shown for the first time that the nCOS function can be expressed into an explicit and analytical polynomial function of any model parameters which define underlying linear dynamics of the system. A simple least square algorithm is provided for the determination of this nonlinear parametric relationship. This novel nCOS function can obviously facilitate parameter analysis and design of nonlinear vibration control systems and provide a useful tool for a simple linear control design, while simultaneously considering inherent nonlinear dynamics of a system. A case study in vehicle suspension control demonstrates these new results.

17 Aug 1995TL;DR: This paper reviewed the history of the relationship between robust control and optimal control and H-infinity theory and concluded that robust control has become thoroughly mainstream, and robust control methods permeate robust control theory.
Abstract: This paper will very briefly review the history of the relationship between modern optimal control and robust control. The latter is commonly viewed as having arisen in reaction to certain perceived inadequacies of the former. More recently, the distinction has effectively disappeared. Once-controversial notions of robust control have become thoroughly mainstream, and optimal control methods permeate robust control theory. This has been especially true in H-infinity theory, the primary focus of this paper.
