Recent advances on filtering and control for nonlinear stochastic complex systems with incomplete information: A survey
This Article is provided by the Brunel Open Access Publishing Fund - Copyright @ 2012 Hindawi PublishingSome recent advances on the filtering and control problems for nonlinear stochastic complex systems with incomplete information are surveyed. The incomplete information under consideration mainly includes missing measurements, randomly varying sensor delays, signal quantization, sensor saturations, and signal sampling. With such incomplete information, the developments on various filtering and control issues are reviewed in great detail. In particular, the addressed nonlinear stochastic complex systems are so comprehensive that they include conventional nonlinear stochastic systems, different kinds of complex networks, and a large class of sensor networks. The corresponding filtering and control technologies for such nonlinear stochastic complex systems are then discussed. Subsequently, some latest results on the filtering and control problems for the complex systems with incomplete information are given. Finally, conclusions are drawn and several possible future research directions are pointed out.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant nos. 61134009, 61104125, 61028008, 61174136, 60974030, and 61074129, the Qing Lan Project of Jiangsu Province of China, the Project sponsored by SRF for ROCS of SEM of China, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council EPSRC of the UK under Grant GR/S27658/01, the Royal Society of the UK, and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany
Fuzzy-logic-based control, filtering, and fault detection for networked systems: A Survey
This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in fuzzy-logic-based filtering, control, and fault detection problems. First, the network technologies are introduced, the networked control systems are categorized from the aspects of fieldbuses and industrial Ethernets, the necessity of utilizing the fuzzy logic is justified, and the network-induced phenomena are discussed. Then, the fuzzy logic control strategies are reviewed in great detail. Special attention is given to the thorough examination on the latest results for fuzzy PID control, fuzzy adaptive control, and fuzzy tracking control problems. Furthermore, recent advances
on the fuzzy-logic-based filtering and fault detection problems are reviewed. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out, for example, topics on two-dimensional networked systems, wireless networked control systems, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of networked systems, and fuzzy access control in open networked systems.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301,

Diagnosis and Repair for Synthesis from Signal Temporal Logic Specifications
We address the problem of diagnosing and repairing specifications for hybrid
systems formalized in signal temporal logic (STL). Our focus is on the setting
of automatic synthesis of controllers in a model predictive control (MPC)
framework. We build on recent approaches that reduce the controller synthesis
problem to solving one or more mixed integer linear programs (MILPs), where
infeasibility of a MILP usually indicates unrealizability of the controller
synthesis problem. Given an infeasible STL synthesis problem, we present
algorithms that provide feedback on the reasons for unrealizability, and
suggestions for making it realizable. Our algorithms are sound and complete,
i.e., they provide a correct diagnosis, and always terminate with a non-trivial
specification that is feasible using the chosen synthesis method, when such a
solution exists. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on the
synthesis of controllers for various cyber-physical systems, including an
autonomous driving application and an aircraft electric power system
Localized LQR Optimal Control
This paper introduces a receding horizon like control scheme for localizable
distributed systems, in which the effect of each local disturbance is limited
spatially and temporally. We characterize such systems by a set of linear
equality constraints, and show that the resulting feasibility test can be
solved in a localized and distributed way. We also show that the solution of
the local feasibility tests can be used to synthesize a receding horizon like
controller that achieves the desired closed loop response in a localized manner
as well. Finally, we formulate the Localized LQR (LLQR) optimal control problem
and derive an analytic solution for the optimal controller. Through a numerical
example, we show that the LLQR optimal controller, with its constraints on
locality, settling time, and communication delay, can achieve similar
performance as an unconstrained H2 optimal controller, but can be designed and
implemented in a localized and distributed way.Comment: Extended version for 2014 CDC submissio

Non-fragile H∞ control with randomly occurring gain variations, distributed delays and channel fadings
This study is concerned with the non-fragile H∞ control problem for a class of discrete-time systems subject to randomly occurring gain variations (ROGVs), channel fadings and infinite-distributed delays. A new stochastic phenomenon (ROGVs), which is governed by a sequence of random variables with a certain probabilistic distribution, is put forward to better reflect the reality of the randomly occurring fluctuation of controller gains implemented in networked environments. A modified stochastic Rice fading model is then exploited to account for both channel fadings and random time-delays in a unified representation. The channel coefficients are a set of mutually independent random variables which abide by any (not necessarily Gaussian) probability density function on [0, 1]. Attention is focused on the analysis and design of a non-fragile H∞ outputfeedback controller such that the closed-loop control system is stochastically stable with a prescribed H∞ performance. Through intensive stochastic analysis, sufficient conditions are established for the desired stochastic stability and H∞ disturbance attenuation, and the addressed non-fragile control problem is then recast as a convex optimisation problem solvable via the semidefinite programme method. An example is finally provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method
