A low-order active fault-tolerant state space self-tuner for the unknown sampled-data nonlinear singular system using OKID and modified ARMAX model-based system identification

In this paper, we present two control schemes for the unknown sampled-data nonlinear singular system. One is an observer-based digital redesign tracker with the state-feedback gain and the feed-forward gain based on off-line observer/Kalman filter identification (OKID) method. The presented control scheme is able to make the unknown sampled-data nonlinear singular system to well track the desired reference signal. The other is an active fault tolerance state-space self-tuner using the OKID method and modified autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs (ARMAX) model-based system identification for unknown sampled-data nonlinear singular system with input faults. First, one can apply the off-line OKID method to determine the appropriate (low-) order of the unknown system order and good initial parameters of the modified ARMAX model to improve the convergent speed of recursive extended-least-squares (RELS) method. Then, based on modified ARMAX-based system identification, a corresponding adaptive digital control scheme is presented for the unknown sampled-data nonlinear singular system with immeasurable system state. Moreover, in order to overcome the interference of input fault, one can use a fault-tolerant control scheme for unknown sampled-data nonlinear singular system by modifying the conventional self-tuner control (STC). The presented method can effectively cope with partially abrupt and/or gradual system input faults. Finally, some illustrative examples including a real circuit system are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented design methodologies.

A Nussbaum gain adaptive synchronization of a new hyperchaotic system with input uncertainties and unknown parameters

The sign of unknown input coefficients is assumed to be known in most papers about the input uncertainties. In this paper, a Nussbaum gain method is adopted to cope with the situation that both the sign and the value of input are unknown. And the unknown parameters can be estimated under the situation of unknown sign of control. The synchronization is achieved for a class of hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameters and input uncertainties by adopting of the Nussbaum gain method and the global terminal adaptive method. And the conclusions are made as follows: First, the proposed method is effective in the situation that the sign of input is unknown. Second, the estimation of unknown parameters can be achieved only when the number of unknown parameters satisfied some condition and no uncertainty exist in the input of systems. Third, the unknown parameters cannot be estimated correctly with common adaptive method when there are input uncertainties in the system. But the Nussbaum gain method can get good result in the estimation of unknown parameters. At last, numerical simulations are done to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Recovering unknown model parameters contained in a class of time-variant chaotic dynamical systems

This work deals mainly with the problem of recovering all unknown parameters for a class of time-variant chaotic dynamical systems from given time sequence. Based on synchronization between a chaotic sender system and an additional receiver system, a procedure, which combines a linear feedback technique with updated feedback gain and an adapted control strategy associated with the law of estimated parameters, is developed to dynamically determine the values of unknown parameters contained in the sender system. To promote widespread applications, the structure of the receiver system can be independent of that of the sender system. The effectiveness of this procedure is guaranteed by the periodic version of the classical LaSalle invariance principle of differential equations. Illustrations are presented for a harmonically excited Duffing oscillator and a four dimensional chaotic oscillator. The numerical results reveal the present procedure not only can precisely recover unknown model parameters, but also can rapidly response to sudden changes in unknown parameters. In addition, it has great robustness against the disturbance of noise.

Switching control and time-delay identification

The unknown time delay makes the control design a difficult task. When the lower and upper bounds of an unknown time delay of dynamical systems are specified, one can design a supervisory control that switches among a set of controls designed for the sampled time delays in the given range so that the closed-loop system is stable and the control performance is maintained at a desirable level. In this paper, we propose to design a supervisory control to stabilize the system first. After the supervisory control converges, we start an algorithm to identify the unknown time delay, either on-line or off-line, with the known control being implemented. Examples are shown to demonstrate the stabilization and identification for linear time invariant and periodic systems with a single control time delay.     

A new hyperchaotic system and its synchronization

In this paper, a four-dimensional (4D) continuous autonomous hyperchaotic system is introduced and analyzed. This hyperchaotic system is constructed by adding a linear controller to the 3D autonomous chaotic system with a reverse butterfly-shape attractor. Some of its basic dynamical properties, such as Lyapunov exponents, Poincare section, bifurcation diagram and the periodic orbits evolving into chaotic, hyperchaotic dynamical behavior by varying parameter d are studied. Furthermore, the full state hybrid projective synchronization (FSHPS) of new hyperchaotic system with unknown parameters including the unknown coefficients of nonlinear terms is studied by using adaptive control. Numerical simulations are presented to show the effective of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.

The paper deals with a generalized Cauchy problem for quasi-linear hyperbolic functional differential systems. The unknown function is the functional variable in the system of equations and the partial derivatives appear in the classical sense. A theorem on the local existence of a solution is proved. The initial problem is transformed into a system of functional integral equations for an unknown function and for their partial derivatives with respect to spatial variables. A method of bicharacteristics and integral inequalites are applied.

A distributionally robust optimization model for batch nonlinear switched time-delay system considering uncertain output measurements

In this paper, we consider a nonlinear switched time-delay (NSTD) system with unknown switching times and unknown system parameters, where the output measurement is uncertain. This system is the underling dynamical system for the batch process of glycerol bioconversion to 1,3-propanediol induced by Klebsiella pneumoniae. The uncertain output measurement is regarded as a stochastic vector (whose components are stochastic variables) and the only information about its distribution is the first-order moment. The objective of this paper is to identify the unknown quantities of the NSTD system. For this, a distributionally robust optimization problem (a bi-level optimization problem) governed by the NSTD system is proposed, where the relative error under the environment of uncertain output measurements is involved in the cost functional. The bi-level optimization problem is transformed into a single-level optimization problem with non-smooth term through the application of duality theory in probability space. By applying the smoothing technique, the non-smooth term is approximated by a smooth term and the convergence of the approximation is established. Then, the gradients of the cost functional with respect to switching times and system parameters are derived. A hybrid optimization algorithm is developed to solve the transformed problem. Finally, we verify the obtained switching times and system parameters, as well as the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, by solving this distributionally robust optimization problem.     

Synchronization of Genesio chaotic system via backstepping approach

Backstepping design is proposed for synchronization of Genesio chaotic system. Firstly, the control problem for the chaos synchronization of nominal Genesio systems without unknown parameters is considered. Next, an adaptive backstepping control law is derived to make the error signals between drive Genesio system and response Genesio system with an uncertain parameter asymptotically synchronized. Finally, the approach is extended to the synchronization problem for the system with three unknown parameters. The stability analysis in this article is proved by using a well-known Lyapunov stability theorem. Note that the approach provided here needs only a single controller to realize the synchronization. Two numerical simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed chaos synchronization scheme.     

Adaptive output feedback stabilization for nonholonomic systems with strong nonlinear drifts

This paper investigates the design of an output feedback adaptive stabilization controller for a nonholonomic chained system with strong nonlinear drifts, including modeled nonlinear dynamics, unmodeled dynamics, and dynamics modeled with unknown parameters. Also the virtual control directions of the system are unknown. The purpose is to design a nonlinear output feedback switching controller such that the closed loop system is globally asymptotically stable. A novel observer and estimator are introduced for states and parameter estimates, respectively. A constructive procedure of design for an output feedback adaptive controller is given, by using the integrator backstepping approach and based on the proposed observer and parameter estimator. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

Conditions for unique solvability of inverse problems for controllable dynamical systems

Problems arising in the applications of control theory of dynamical systems, when part of the variables of the mathematical model of the system is unknown and is subject to determination from information on the output of the system, are considered. Fundamental among them are the observation and identification problems, when unknown are the state of the system and its parameters, respectively, and also the problem of inverting the system, in which one seeks the control. Based on an analysis of mappings that are generated by an extended measurement vector, conditions for the unique solvability of the afore-mentioned problems with respect to a single trajectory or a set of trajectories are obtained.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 10, pp. 1359–1366, October, 1992.     

Adaptive synchronization of T–S fuzzy chaotic systems with unknown parameters

This paper presents a fuzzy model-based adaptive approach for synchronization of chaotic systems which consist of the drive and response systems. Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is employed to represent the chaotic drive and response systems. Since the parameters of the drive system are assumed unknown, we design the response system that estimates the parameters of the drive system by adaptive strategy. The adaptive law is derived to estimate the unknown parameters and its stability is guaranteed by Lyapunov stability theory. In addition, the controller in the response system contains two parts: one part that can stabilize the synchronization error dynamics and the other part that estimates the unknown parameters. Numerical examples, including Duffing oscillator and Lorenz attractor, are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed adaptive synchronization approach.     

Robust state estimation and fault diagnosis for uncertain hybrid nonlinear systems

Robust state estimation and fault diagnosis are challenging problems in the research of hybrid systems. In this paper, a novel robust hybrid observer is proposed for a class of uncertain hybrid nonlinear systems with unknown mode transition functions, model uncertainties and unknown disturbances. The observer consists of a mode observer for discrete mode estimation and a continuous observer for continuous state estimation. It is shown that the mode can be identified correctly and the continuous state estimation error is exponentially uniformly bounded. Robustness to unknown transition functions, model uncertainties and disturbances can be guaranteed by disturbance decoupling and selecting proper thresholds. The transition detectability and mode identifiability conditions are rigorously analyzed. Based on the robust hybrid observer, a robust fault diagnosis scheme is presented for faults modeled as discrete modes with unknown transition functions, and the analytical properties are investigated. Simulations of a hybrid three-tank system demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective.
