Structured backward errors for eigenvalues of linear port-Hamiltonian descriptor systems
When computing the eigenstructure of matrix pencils associated with the
passivity analysis of perturbed port-Hamiltonian descriptor system using a
structured generalized eigenvalue method, one should make sure that the
computed spectrum satisfies the symmetries that corresponds to this structure
and the underlying physical system. We perform a backward error analysis and
show that for matrix pencils associated with port-Hamiltonian descriptor
systems and a given computed eigenstructure with the correct symmetry structure
there always exists a nearby port-Hamiltonian descriptor system with exactly
that eigenstructure. We also derive bounds for how near this system is and show
that the stability radius of the system plays a role in that bound
Stabilisation of descriptor Markovian jump systems with partially unknown transition probabilities
This paper is concerned with the stability and stabilisation problems for continuous-time descriptor Markovian jump systems with partially unknown transition probabilities. In terms of a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), a necessary and sufficient condition is firstly proposed, which ensures the systems to be regular, impulse-free and stochastically stable. Moreover, the corresponding necessary and sufficient condition on the existence of a mode-dependent state-feedback controller, which guarantees the closed-loop systems stochastically admissible by employing the LMI technique, is derived; the stabilizing state-feedback gain can also be expressed via solutions of the LMIs. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods
Fault estimation and active fault tolerant control for linear parameter varying descriptor systems
Starting with the baseline controller design, this paper proposes an integrated approach of active fault tolerant control based on proportional derivative extended state observer (PDESO) for linear parameter varying descriptor systems. The PDESO can simultaneously provide the estimates of the system states, sensor faults, and actuator faults. The Lâ‚‚ robust performance of the closed-loop system to bounded exogenous disturbance and bounded uncertainty is achieved by a two-step design procedure adapted from the traditional observer-based controller design. Furthermore, an LMI pole-placement region and the Lâ‚‚ robustness performance are combined into a multiobjective formulation by suitably combing the appropriate LMI descriptions. A parameter-varying system example is given to illustrate the design procedure and the validity of the proposed integrated design approach
A Characterization of all Solutions to the Four Block General Distance Problem
All solutions to the four block general distance problem which arises in H^∞ optimal control are characterized. The procedure is to embed the original problem in an all-pass matrix which is constructed. It is then shown that part of this all-pass matrix acts as a generator of all solutions. Special attention is given to the characterization of all optimal solutions by invoking a new descriptor characterization of all-pass
transfer functions. As an application, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of an H^∞ optimal controller. Following that, a descriptor representation of all solutions is derived
