Null controllability and global blowup controllability of ordinary differential equations with feedback controls

This paper concerns the problem of feedback null controllability and blowup controllability with feedback controls for ordinary differential equations. First, we study the feedback null controllability on a time-varying ordinary differential system by unbounded feedback operators. Then, the global exact blowup controllability with feedback controls is derived on a time-invariant ordinary differential system. Finally, we obtain the approximate null controllability by bounded feedback operators, and get the approximate blowup controllability with feedback controls for ordinary differential equations.     

Influence of feedback controls on an autonomous Lotka–Volterra competitive system with infinite delays

In this paper, we consider an autonomous Lotka–Volterra competitive system with infinite delays and feedback controls. The extinction and global stability of equilibriums are discussed using the Lyapunov functional method. If the Lotka–Volterra competitive system is globally stable, then we show that the feedback controls only change the position of the unique positive equilibrium and retain the stable property. If the Lotka–Volterra competitive system is extinct, by choosing the suitable values of feedback control variables, we can make extinct species become globally stable, or still keep the property of extinction. Some examples are presented to verify our main results.     

On a mutualism model with feedback controls

We propose and study a mutualism model with feedback controls. By applying a new differential inequality, we show that the conditions which ensure the permanence of the system are the same as that of the model without feedback controls, which means that the feedback control variables have no influence on the persistent property of the system. Our results not only improve but also complement some existing ones.     

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE PERIODIC SOLUTIONS TO A DISCRETE TIME NON-AUTONOMOUS COMPETING SYSTEM WITH FEEDBACK CONTROLS

In this paper,a class of discrete time non-autonomous competing system with feedback controls is considered. With the help of differential equations with piecewise constant arguments,we first propose a discrete model of a continuous non-autonomous competing system with feedback controls. Then,using the coincidence degree and the related continuation theorem as well as some priori estimations,a suficient condition for the existence of positive solutions to difference equations is obtained.     

Some linear nonautonomous control problems with quadratic cost

In this paper we consider two similar nonautonomous linear control problems which have quadratic cost functionals. We give necessary conditions for the problems to be optimized over an infinite interval and prove that the optimal controls are linear feedback controls. If the first problem is set in a real Hilbert space the feedback controls generate a uniformly asymptotically stable evolutionary process. In the second problem the controls generate an asymptotically stable system of neutral functional differential equations.     

Permanence and stability in multi-species non-autonomous Lotka–Volterra competitive systems with delays and feedback controls

In this paper, we consider a multi-species Lotka–Volterra type competitive system with delays and feedback controls. A general criteria on the permanence is established, which is described by integral form and independent of feedback controls. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functionals, a set of easily verifiable sufficient conditions are derived for global stability of any positive solution to the model.     

PERMANENCE AND GLOBAL ATTRACTIVITY OF N-SPECIES COOPERATION SYSTEM WITH DISCRETE TIME DELAYS AND FEEDBACK CONTROLS

In this paper, we consider the N-species cooperation system with discrete time delays and feedback controls. By using the differential inequality theory and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, we obtain sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence and the global attractivity of the system.     

The permanence and global attractivity of a Kolmogorov system with feedback controls

In this paper, we study the permanence and global asymptotic behavior for a Kolmogorov system with feedback controls. By means of lower and upper averages of a function, the average conditions for permanence, global attractivity and extinction of this system are established respectively. The corresponding results given by Chen in [F. Chen, The permanence and global attractivity of Lotka–Volterra competition system with feedback controls, Nonlinear Anal. 7 (2006) 133–143] and Zhao in [J.D. Zhao, J.F. Jiang, A.C. Lazer, The permanence and global attractivity in a nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra system, Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl. 5 (2004) 265–276] are extended and improved.     

PERMANENCE OF GENERAL NONAUTONOMOUS SINGLE-SPECIES KOLMOGOROV TYPE SYSTEM WITH DELAY AND FEEDBACK CONTROLS

Robust optimal feedback for terminal linear-quadratic control problems under disturbances

We consider a linear dynamic system in the presence of an unknown but bounded perturbation and study how to control the system in order to get into a prescribed neighborhood of a zero at a given final moment. The quality of a control is estimated by the quadratic functional. We define optimal guaranteed program controls as controls that are allowed to be corrected at one intermediate time moment. We show that an infinite dimensional problem of constructing such controls is equivalent to a special bilevel problem of mathematical programming which can be solved explicitely. An easy implementable algorithm for solving the bilevel optimization problem is derived. Based on this algorithm we propose an algorithm of constructing a guaranteed feedback control with one correction moment. We describe the rules of computing feedback which can be implemented in real time mode. The results of illustrative tests are given.     

Permanence of species in nonautonomous discrete Lotka–Volterra competitive system with delays and feedback controls

A nonautonomous N-species discrete Lotka–Volterra competitive system of difference equations with delays and feedback controls is considered. New sufficient conditions are obtained for the permanence of this discrete system. The results indicate that one can choose suitable controls to make the species coexistence in the long run. Moreover, we give some examples to illustrate the feasibility of our result which can be well suited for computational purposes.     

Permanence and global attractivity for discrete nonautonomous two-species Lotka-Volterra competitive system with delays and feedback controls

A discrete nonautonomous two-species Lotka-Volterra competitive system with delays and feedback controls is proposed and investigated. By using the method of discrete Lyapunov functionals, new sufficient conditions on the permanence of species and global attractivity of the system are established. Particularly, an interesting fact is found in our results, that is, the feedback controls are harmless to the permanence of species for the considered system.     

The explicit synthesis of stabilizing (time optimal) feedback controls for the attitude control of a rotating satelite

The attitude stabilization problem for a spinning satellite controlled by two small jets may be modelled as a four-dimensional, nonlinear control system, linear in the controls. The recent feedback linearization theorem of Hunt and Su may be applied to transform this system, via state feedback and a local coordinate change, to a pair of uncoupled, two-dimensional, linear systems. Feedback controls for the problem of time optimal transfer to the origin for these linear systems are explicitly calculated and then transformed to give explicit feedback controls for time optimal stabilization in the original nonlinear problem. The theory is illustrated by sample calculations.

Stabilization of transmission coupled wave and Euler–Bernoulli equations on Riemannian manifolds by nonlinear feedbacks

We consider the transmission system of coupling wave equations with Euler–Bernoulli equations on Riemannian manifolds. By introducing nonlinear boundary feedback controls, we establish the exponential and rational energy decay rate for the problem. Our proofs rely on the geometric multiplier method.     

Stabilization of nonuniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with locally distributed feedbacks

In this article, we study the stabilization problem of a nonuniform Euler-Bernoulli beam with locally distributed feedbacks. Firstly, using the semi-group theory, we establish the well-posedness of the associated closed loop system. Then by proving the uniqueness of the solution of a related ordinary differential equations, we derive the asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. Finally, by means of the piecewise frequency domain multiplier method, we prove that the corresponding closed loop system can be exponentially stabilized by only one of the two distributed feedback controls proposed in this paper.     

Control studies of time-delayed dynamical systems with the method of continuous time approximation

This paper presents control studies of delayed dynamical systems with the help of the method of continuous time approximation (CTA). The CTA method proposes a continuous time approximation of the delayed portion of the response leading to a high and finite dimensional state space formulation of the time-delayed system. Various controls of the system such as LQR and output feedback controls are readily designed with the existing design tools. The properties of the method in frequency domain are also discussed. We have found that time-domain methods such as semi-discretization and CTA, and other numerical integration algorithms can produce highly accurate temporal responses and dominant poles of the system, while missing all the fast and high frequency poles, which explains why many numerical methods can be applied to study the stability of time-delayed systems, and may not be a good tool for control design. Optimal feedback controls for a linear oscillator, collocated and non-collocated feedback controls of an Euler beam, and an experimental demonstration are presented in the paper.     

Chaos in the delay logistic equation with discontinuous delays

This paper analyzes a delay logistic equation which models a feedback control problem. Interval map associated to the system is derived. By calculating Lyapunov exponent, we indicate stable orbit and chaotic phenomenon respectively. The results are verified through computer simulation. We identify the parameter which controls the dynamics.     

Steady state bifurcation of a periodically excited system under delayed feedback controls

This paper investigates the steady state bifurcation of a periodically excited system subject to time-delayed feedback controls by the combined method of residue harmonic balance and polynomial homotopy continuation. Three kinds of delayed feedback controls are considered to examine the effects of different delayed feedback controls and delay time on the steady state response. By means of polynomial homotopy continuation, all the possible steady state solutions corresponding the third-order superharmonic and second-subharmonic responses are derived analytically, i.e. without numerical integration. It is found that the delayed feedback changes the bifurcating curves qualitatively and possibly eliminates the saddle-node bifurcation during resonant. The delayed position-velocity coupling and the delayed velocity feedback controls can destabilize the steady state responses. Coexisting periodic solutions, period-doubling bifurcation and even chaos are found in these control systems. The neighborhood of the periodic solutions is verified numerically in the phase portraits. The various effects of time delay on the steady state response are investigated. Many new phenomena are observed.
