Design of interval observer for a class of uncertain unobservable nonlinear systems
International audienceThis paper investigates the interval observer design for a class of nonlinear continuous systems, which can be represented as a superposition of a uniformly observable nominal subsystem with a Lipschitz nonlinear perturbation. It is shown in this case there exists an interval observer for the system that estimates the set of admissible values for the state consistent with the output measurements. An illustrative example of the observer application is given with simulation results
Decentralized Implementation of Centralized Controllers for Interconnected Systems
Given a centralized controller associated with a linear time-invariant interconnected system, this paper is concerned with designing a parameterized decentralized
controller such that the state and input of
the system under the obtained decentralized controller can become arbitrarily close to those of the system under the given centralized controller, by tuning the controller's parameters. To this end, a two-level decentralized controller is designed, where the upper level captures the dynamics of the centralized closed-loop system, and the lower level is an observed-based sub-controller designed based on the new notion of structural initial value
observability. The proposed method can decentralize every generic centralized controller, provided the interconnected system satisfies very mild conditions. The efficacy of this work is elucidated by some numerical examples
Detection and Mitigation of Biasing Attacks on Distributed Estimation Networks
The paper considers a problem of detecting and mitigating biasing attacks on
networks of state observers targeting cooperative state estimation algorithms.
The problem is cast within the recently developed framework of distributed
estimation utilizing the vector dissipativity approach. The paper shows that a
network of distributed observers can be endowed with an additional attack
detection layer capable of detecting biasing attacks and correcting their
effect on estimates produced by the network. An example is provided to
illustrate the performance of the proposed distributed attack detector.Comment: Accepted for publication in Automatic
Yet Another Tutorial of Disturbance Observer: Robust Stabilization and Recovery of Nominal Performance
This paper presents a tutorial-style review on the recent results about the
disturbance observer (DOB) in view of robust stabilization and recovery of the
nominal performance. The analysis is based on the case when the bandwidth of
Q-filter is large, and it is explained in a pedagogical manner that, even in
the presence of plant uncertainties and disturbances, the behavior of real
uncertain plant can be made almost similar to that of disturbance-free nominal
system both in the transient and in the steady-state. The conventional DOB is
interpreted in a new perspective, and its restrictions and extensions are
discussed
