Decentralized iterative learning control for a class of large scale interconnected dynamical systems

The problem of decentralized iterative learning control for a class of large scale interconnected dynamical systems is considered. In this paper, it is assumed that the considered large scale dynamical systems are linear time-varying, and the interconnections between each subsystem are unknown. For such a class of uncertain large scale interconnected dynamical systems, a method is presented whereby a class of decentralized local iterative learning control schemes is constructed. It is also shown that under some given conditions, the constructed decentralized local iterative learning controllers can guarantee the asymptotic convergence of the local output error between the given desired local output and the actual local output of each subsystem through the iterative learning process. Finally, as a numerical example, the system coupled by two inverted pendulums is given to illustrate the application of the proposed decentralized iterative learning control schemes.     

Decentralized Control of Nonlinear Large-Scale Systems Using Dynamic Output Feedback

In this paper, a class of nonlinear large-scale systems with similar subsystems is studied. Both matched and unmatched uncertainties are considered by utilizing their bounding functions, and the interconnections take a more general form than considered previously. Based on a constrained Lyapunov equation, a nonlinear dynamic output feedback decentralized controller is presented. Unlike existing results, matched uncertainties are considered in the control design; by using a decomposition of the interconnections, the known and uncertain interconnections are treated separately; thus, the robustness is improved and conservativeness is reduced significantly. The computation effort for solving the Lyapunov equation is greatly reduced by taking into account the similar subsystem structure. Finally, simulation is used to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

The guaranteed cost control for uncertain nonlinear large-scale stochastic systems via state and static output feedback

The guaranteed cost control (GCC) problem involved in decentralized robust control of a class of uncertain nonlinear large-scale stochastic systems with high-order interconnections is considered. After determining the appropriate conditions for the stochastic GCC controller, a class of decentralized local state feedback controllers is derived using the linear matrix inequality (LMI). The extension of the result of the study to the static output feedback control problem is discussed by considering the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions. The efficiency of the proposed design method is demonstrated on the basis of simulation results.     

Semi-global finite-time output feedback stabilization for a class of large-scale uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper addresses the problem of semi-global finite-time decentralized output feedback control for large-scale systems with both higher-order and lower-order terms. A new design scheme is developed by coupling the finite-time output feedback stabilization method with the homogeneous domination approach. Specifically, we first design a homogeneous observer and an output feedback control law for each nominal subsystem without the nonlinearities. Then, based on the homogeneous domination approach, we relax the linear growth condition to a polynomial one and construct decentralized controllers to render the nonlinear system semi-globally finite-time stable.     

Decentralized event-based control: Stability analysis and experimental evaluation

Event-based control aims at reducing the amount of information which is communicated between sensors, actuators and controllers in a networked control system. The feedback link is only closed at times at which an event indicates the need for an information update to retain a desired performance. Between consecutive event times the control loop acts as a continuous system, whereas at the event times it performs a state jump. Thus, the event-based control loop belongs to the class of hybrid dynamical systems. In this paper a new method for decentralized event-based control is proposed. Two methods are presented for the stability analysis of the decentralized event-based state feedback control of physically interconnected systems. The comparison principle leads to a stability criterion that provides an upper bound for the coupling strength for which the stability of the uncoupled event-based control loops implies ultimate boundedness of the interconnected event-based system. It is shown that ultimate boundedness of the event-based state-feedback loop is implied by the asymptotic stability of the continuous state-feedback system. Furthermore, it is explained how the number of events can be reduced by estimating the interconnection signals between the subsystems and two different estimation methods are proposed. The derived methods are demonstrated for a thermofluid process by simulation and experiments.     

Decentralized robust control for a class of uncertain large-scale interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems

The problem of the decentralized robust control for a class of large-scale interconnected nonlinear dynamical systems with input interconnection and external interconnection perturbations is considered. Based on the stabilizability of each nominal isolated subsystem (i.e., the isolated subsystem in the absence of interconnection perturbations), a class of decentralized local state feedback controllers is proposed, and some sufficient conditions are derived by making use of the Lyapunov stability criterion such that uncertain large-scale interconnected systems can be stabilized asymptotically by these decentralized state feedback controllers. For large-scale systems with only input interconnection perturbations, such decentralized controllers become a class of decentralized stabilizing state feedback controllers. That is, the decentralized stability of such large-scale systems can be guaranteed always by using the decentralized state feedback controllers proposed in the paper. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.     

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.     

New Algorithm for Computing LQ Suboptimal Output Feedback Gains of Decentralized Control Systems

In this paper, the problem of computing the suboptimal output feedback gains of decentralized control systems is investigated. First, the problem is formulated. Then, the gradient matrices based on the index function are derived and a new algorithm is established based on some nice properties. This algorithm shows that a suboptimal gain can be computed by solving several ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In order to find an initial condition for the ODEs, an algorithm for finding a stabilizing output feedback gain is exploited, and the convergence of this algorithm is discussed. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the proposed algorithm.     

Decentralized Reliable Control of Interconnected Systems with Time-Varying Delays

In this paper, we study the problem of designing decentralized reliable feedback control methods under a class of control failures for a class of linear interconnected continuous-time systems having internal subsystem time-delays and additional time-delay couplings. These failures are described by a model that takes into consideration possible outages or partial failures in every single actuator of each decentralized controller. The decentralized control design is performed through two steps. First, a decentralized stabilizing reliable feedback control set is derived at the subsystem level through the construction of appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and, second, a feasible linear matrix inequalities procedure is then established for the effective construction of the control set under different feedback schemes. Two schemes are considered: the first is based on state measurement and the second utilizes static output feedback. The decentralized feedback gains in both schemes are determined by convex optimization over LMIs. We characterize decentralized linear matrix inequalities (LMIs)-based feasibility conditions such that every local closed-loop subsystem of the linear interconnected delay system is delay-dependent robustly asymptotically stable with a γ-level ℒ₂-gain. The developed results are tested on a representative example.

Adaptive output feedback asymptotic stabilization of nonholonomic systems with uncertainties

A global adaptive output feedback control strategy is presented for a class of nonholonomic systems in generalized chained form with drift nonlinearity and unknown virtual control parameters. The purpose is to design a nonlinear output feedback switching controller such that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable. By using the input-state scaling technique and an integrator back-stepping approach, an output feedback controller is given. A filter of observer gain is introduced for state and parameter estimates. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the over-parameters, a tuning function technique is utilized. A novel switching control strategy based on the output measurement of the first subsystem rather than time is used to overcome the uncontrollability of the x₀-subsystem in the origin. The proposed controller can guarantee that all the system states globally converge to the origin, while other signals maintain bounded. The numerical simulation testifies the effectiveness.
