Linear Control Theory with an ââ Optimality Criterion
This expository paper sets out the principal results in ââ control theory in the context of continuous-time linear systems. The focus is on the mathematical theory rather than computational methods
Polynomial solutions to Hâ problems
The paper presents a polynomial solution to the standard Hâ-optimal control problem. Based on two polynomial J-spectral factorization problems, a parameterization of all suboptimal compensators is obtained. A bound on the McMillan degree of suboptimal compensators is derived and an algorithm is formulated that may be used to solve polynomial J-spectral factorization problems
Fast linear algebra is stable
In an earlier paper, we showed that a large class of fast recursive matrix
multiplication algorithms is stable in a normwise sense, and that in fact if
multiplication of -by- matrices can be done by any algorithm in
operations for any , then it can be done
stably in operations for any . Here we extend
this result to show that essentially all standard linear algebra operations,
including LU decomposition, QR decomposition, linear equation solving, matrix
inversion, solving least squares problems, (generalized) eigenvalue problems
and the singular value decomposition can also be done stably (in a normwise
sense) in operations.Comment: 26 pages; final version; to appear in Numerische Mathemati
A new approach to the chap LQ regulator exploiting the geometric properties of the Hamiltonian system
The cheap LQ regulator is reinterpreted as an output nulling problem which is a basic problem of the geometric control theory. In fact, solving the LQ regulator problem is equivalent to keep the output of the related Hamiltonian system identically zero. The solution lies on a controlled invariant subspace whose dimension is characterized in terms of the minimal conditioned invariant of the original system, and the optimal feedback gain is computed as the friend matrix of the resolving subspace. This study yields a new computational framework for the cheap LQ regulator, relying only on the very basic and simple tools of the geometric approach, namely the algorithms for controlled and conditioned invariant subspaces and invariant zeros
