Robust control of chaos in Chua’s circuit based on internal model principle

The paper treats the question of robust control of chaos in Chua’s circuit based on the internal model principle. The Chua’s diode has polynomial non-linearity and it is assumed that the parameters of the circuit are not known. A robust control law for the asymptotic regulation of the output (node voltage) along constant and sinusoidal reference trajectories is derived. For the derivation of the control law, the non-linear regulator equations are solved to obtain a manifold in the state space on which the output error is zero and an internal model of the k-fold exosystem (k = 3 here) is constructed. Then a feedback control law using the optimal control theory or pole placement technique for the stabilization of the augmented system including the Chua’s circuit and the internal model is derived. In the closed-loop system, robust output node voltage trajectory tracking of sinusoidal and constant reference trajectories are accomplished and in the steady state, the remaining state variables converge to periodic and constant trajectories, respectively. Simulation results are presented which show that in the closed-loop system, asymptotic trajectory control, disturbance rejection and suppression of chaotic motion in spite of uncertainties in the system are accomplished.     

Finite attraction for nonlinear uncertain mechanical systems

This paper deals with the robust control problem for uncertainnonlinear mechanical systems with ideal and holonomic constraints.A robust control law having the form of state feedback is obtained.The control law consists of two parts: the first one is a nominalcontrol law which affects the behaviour of the nominal dynamicsfor the considered mechanical system; the second one is a learningcontrol law which reduces the influence of uncertainties onthe stability of the mechanical system. Under the action ofthe robust control law, the closed-loop system for the uncertainmechanical system reaches a region specified a short time inadvance.     

Control synthesis for a system with non-linear resistance

A dynamic controlled system with one degree of freedom is considered. The system is acted upon by a non-linear resistance, a controlling force and a disturbance. The control and the disturbance are of bounded magnitude. A feedback control is designed which takes the system to a prescribed state. The proposed control law has certain advantages compared with the alternative approach which totally ignores the disturbances. The control is synthesized for an arbitrary non-linear resistance. It is time-suboptimal and robust to variations of the parameters and disturbances.

Optimal Guaranteed Cost Control of Stochastic Discrete-Time Systems with States and Input Dependent Noise Under Markovian Switching

A problem of robust guaranteed cost control of stochastic discrete-time systems with parametric uncertainties under Markovian switching is considered. The control is simultaneously applied to both the random and the deterministic components of the system. The noise (the random) term depends on both the states and the control input. The jump Markovian switching is modeled by a discrete-time Markov chain and the noise or stochastic environmental disturbance is modeled by a sequence of identically independently normally distributed random variables. Using linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) approach, the robust quadratic stochastic stability is obtained. The proposed control law for this quadratic stochastic stabilization result depended on the mode of the system. This control law is developed such that the closed-loop system with a cost function has an upper bound under all admissible parameter uncertainties. The upper bound for the cost function is obtained as a minimization problem. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the potential of the proposed techniques and obtained results.     

Nonlinear adaptive output feedback robust control of hydraulic actuators with largely unknown modeling uncertainties

In this paper, a nonlinear adaptive output feedback robust controller is proposed for motion control of hydraulic servo systems in the presence of largely unknown matched and mismatched modeling uncertainties. Different from the existing control technologies, the presented hydraulic closed-loop controller which can deal with strong matched and mismatched parametric uncertainties is synthesized via the backstepping technique. Specially, a nonlinear disturbance observer which can estimate the largely mismatched disturbance is integrated into the design of the linear extended state observer to obtain estimation of unmeasurable system states, uncertain parameters and strong disturbances simultaneously. In addition, the projection-type adaptive law is synthesized into the design of the resulting controller. More importantly, the global stability of the whole closed-loop system is strictly guaranteed by the Lyapunov analysis. Furthermore, the effectiveness and practicability of the presented control strategy have been demonstrated by comparative experiments under different working conditions.     

Composite nonlinear feedback based discrete integral sliding mode controller for uncertain systems

In this paper, a discrete integral sliding mode (ISM) controller based on composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) method is proposed. The aim of the controller is to improve the transient performance of uncertain systems. The CNF based discrete ISM controller consists of a linear and a nonlinear term. The linear control law is used to decrease the damping ratio of the closed-loop system for yielding a quick transient response. The nonlinear feedback control law is used to increase the damping ratio with an aim to reduce the overshoot of the closed-loop system as it approaches the desired reference position. It is observed that the discrete CNF-ISM controller produces superior transient performance as compared to the discrete ISM controller. The closed-loop control system remains stable during the sliding condition. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.     

Robust multivariable implicit self-tuning control

A robust multivariable linear quadratic implicit self-tuningalgorithm is presented. It is shown that the closed-loop outputerror is bounded for multiplicative modelling uncertainty, providedthat all the unstable zeros of the plant are captured in thenominal model. The algorithm can be applied to nonminimum-phasesystems, and does not require the explicit solution of the algebraicmatrix polynomial equation. The controller parameters are directlyestimated from two implicit prediction models which containthe plant and controller parameters in bilinear form. The stability analysis is performed by applying conic-sectortheory to a new error equation which is decomposed into twocomponents embodying a linear and non-linear operator, namelythe modelling uncertainty and the parameter estimator respectively.Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performanceof the proposed adaptive controller.

Delay-dependent nonfragile guaranteed cost control for nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper concerns the nonfragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems with multiple time delays and controller gain perturbations. Guaranteed cost control law is designed under two classes of perturbations, namely, additive form and multiplicative form. The problem is to design a memoryless state feedback control law such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, some delay-dependent conditions for the existence of such controller are derived. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.     

A sliding mode approach to robust stabilisation of Markovian jump linear time-delay systems with generally incomplete transition rates

This paper is devoted to investigating the problem of robust sliding mode control for a class of uncertain Markovian jump linear time-delay systems with generally uncertain transition rates (GUTRs). In this GUTR model, each transition rate can be completely unknown or only its estimate value is known. By making use of linear matrix inequalities technique, sufficient conditions are presented to derive the linear switching surface and guarantee the stochastic stability of sliding mode dynamics. A sliding mode control law is developed to drive the state trajectory of the closed-loop system to the specified linear switching surface in a finite-time interval in spite of the existing uncertainties, time delays and unknown transition rates. Finally, an example is presented to verify the validity of the proposed method.     

Robust guaranteed cost control for uncertain linear differential systems of neutral type

In this paper, the robust guaranteed cost control problem for a class of uncertain linear differential systems of neutral type with a given quadratic cost functions is investigated. The uncertainty is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying nonlinear. The problem is to design a state feedback control laws such that the closed-loop system is robustly stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainty and time delay. A criterion for the existence of such controllers is derived based on the matrix inequality approach combined with the Lyapunov method. A parameterized characterization of the robust guaranteed cost controllers is given in terms of the feasible solutions to the certain matrix inequalities. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.

Receding Horizon Robust Control for Nonlinear Systems Based on Linear Differential Inclusion of Neural Networks

In this paper, we present a new receding horizon neural robust control scheme for a class of nonlinear systems based on the linear differential inclusion (LDI) representation of neural networks. First, we propose a linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition on the terminal weighting matrix for a receding horizon neural robust control scheme. This condition guarantees the nonincreasing monotonicity of the saddle point value of the finite horizon dynamic game. We then propose a receding horizon neural robust control scheme for nonlinear systems, which ensures the infinite horizon robust performance and the internal stability of closed-loop systems. Since the proposed control scheme can effectively deal with input and state constraints in an optimization problem, it does not cause the instability problem or give the poor performance associated with the existing neural robust control schemes.

Decentralized Adaptive Robust State Feedback for Uncertain Large-Scale Interconnected Systems with Time Delays

The problem of the decentralized robust control is considered for a class of large-scale time-varying systems withdelayed state perturbations and external disturbances in the interconnections. Here, the upper bounds of the delayed stateperturbations and external disturbances in the interconnections are assumed to be unknown. Adaptation laws areproposed to estimate such unknown bounds; by making use of the updated values of the unknown bounds, decentralized linear and nonlinear memoryless robust state feedback controllers are constructed. Based on Lyapunov stability theoryand Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, as well as employing the proposed decentralized nonlinear robust state feedback controllers, it is shown that the solutions of the resulting adaptive closed-loop large-scale time-delay system can be guaranteed to be uniformly bounded and that the states converge uniformly and asymptotically to zero. It is also shown that the proposed decentralized linear robust state feedback controllers can guarantee the uniform ultimate boundedness of the resulting adaptive closed-loop large-scale time-delay system. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.     

A new approach to discretization applied to a continuous, nonlinear, sliding-mode-like control using nonsmooth analysis

This paper introduces a new approach to discretization of nonlinearcontrol laws with a Lipschitz property. The sampling time isdefined as a parameter, which must be selected sufficientlysmall so that the closed-loop system is stable. In contrastto similar results, the stabilizing effect of the control istaken into account. This can result in less conservative constraintson the minimum sampling frequency. The discretization techniquesare explained on a general nonlinear model and applied to thediscretization of a novel nonlinear, robust sliding-mode-likecontrol law. Similar robustness features as for continuous controlare demonstrated. Nonsmooth Lyapunov functions are used forthe discretized sliding-mode-like control introducing cone shapedregions of the state space. One of these cone shaped regionscoincides with a cone shaped layer around the sliding mode definedby the continuous sliding-mode-like control. A stability theoremusing nonsmooth Lyapunov functions is provided.
