A review of convex approaches for control, observation and safety of linear parameter varying and Takagi-Sugeno systems
This paper provides a review about the concept of convex systems based on Takagi-Sugeno, linear parameter varying (LPV) and quasi-LPV modeling. These paradigms are capable of hiding the nonlinearities by means of an equivalent description which uses a set of linear models interpolated by appropriately defined weighing functions. Convex systems have become very popular since they allow applying extended linear techniques based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to complex nonlinear systems. This survey aims at providing the reader with a significant overview of the existing LMI-based techniques for convex systems in the fields of control, observation and safety. Firstly, a detailed review of stability, feedback, tracking and model predictive control (MPC) convex controllers is considered. Secondly, the problem of state estimation is addressed through the design of proportional, proportional-integral, unknown input and descriptor observers. Finally, safety of convex systems is discussed by describing popular techniques for fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control (FTC).Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
LMI-Based Reset Unknown Input Observer for State Estimation of Linear Uncertain Systems
This paper proposes a novel kind of Unknown Input Observer (UIO) called Reset
Unknown Input Observer (R-UIO) for state estimation of linear systems in the
presence of disturbance using Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) techniques. In
R-UIO, the states of the observer are reset to the after-reset value based on
an appropriate reset law in order to decrease the norm and settling time
of estimation error. It is shown that the application of the reset theory to
the UIOs in the LTI framework can significantly improve the transient response
of the observer. Moreover, the devised approach can be applied to both SISO and
MIMO systems. Furthermore, the stability and convergence analysis of the
devised R-UIO is addressed. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed method is
demonstrated by simulation results
