Exponential stability analysis and impulsive tracking control of uncertain time-delayed systems
In this paper, we study exponential stability and tracking control problems for uncertain time-delayed systems. First, sufficient conditions of exponential stability for a class of uncertain time-delayed systems are established by employing Lyapunov functional methods and algebraic matrix inequality techniques. Furthermore, tracking control problems are investigated in which an uncertain linear time-delayed system is used to track the reference system. Sufficient conditions for solvability of tracking control problems are obtained for the cases that the system state is measurable and non-measurable, respectively. When the state is measurable, we design an impulsive control law to achieve the tracking performance. When the state information is not directly available from measurement, an impulsive control law based on the measured output will be used. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and usefulness of our results
Finite-time extended state observer and fractional-order sliding mode controller for impulsive hybrid port-Hamiltonian systems with input delay and actuators saturation: Application to ball-juggler robots
This paper addresses the robust control problem of mechanical systems with hybrid dynamics in port-Hamiltonian form. It is assumed that only the position states are measurable, and time-delay and saturation constraint affect the control signal. An extended state observer is designed after a coordinate transformation. The effect of the time delay in the control signal is neutralized by applying Pade ́ approximant and augmenting the system states. An assistant system with faster convergence is developed to handle actuators saturation. Fractional-order sliding mode controller acts as a centralized controller and compensates for the undesired effects of unknown external disturbance and parameter uncertainties using the observer estimation results. Stability analysis shows that the closed-loop system states, such as the observer tracking error, and the position/velocity tracking errors, are finite-time stable. Simulation studies on a two ball-playing juggler robot with three degrees of freedom validate the theoretical results’ effectiveness
A geometric approach to structural model matching by output feedback in linear impulsive systems
AbstractThis paper provides a complete characterization of solvability of the problem of structural model matching by output feedback in linear impulsive systems with nonuniformly spaced state jumps. Namely, given a linear impulsive plant and a linear impulsive model, both subject to sequences of state jumps which are assumed to be simultaneous and measurable, the problem consists in finding a linear impulsive compensator that achieves exact matching between the respective forced responses of the linear impulsive plant and of the linear impulsive model, by means of a dynamic feedback of the plant output, for all the admissible input functions and for all the admissible sequences of jump times. The solution of the stated problem is achieved by reducing it to an equivalent problem of structural disturbance decoupling by dynamic feedforward. Indeed, this latter problem is formulated for the so-called extended linear impulsive system, which consists of a suitable connection between the given plant and a modified model. A necessary and sufficient condition for the solution of the structural disturbance decoupling problem is first shown. The proof of sufficiency is constructive, since it is based on the synthesis of the compensator that solves the problem. The proof of necessity is based on the definition and the geometric properties of the unobservable subspace of a linear impulsive system subject to unequally spaced state jumps. Finally, the equivalence between the two structural problems is formally established and proven
Strategies for Real-Time Position Control of a Single Atom in Cavity QED
Recent realizations of single-atom trapping and tracking in cavity QED open
the door for feedback schemes which actively stabilize the motion of a single
atom in real time. We present feedback algorithms for cooling the radial
component of motion for a single atom trapped by strong coupling to
single-photon fields in an optical cavity. Performance of various algorithms is
studied through simulations of single-atom trajectories, with full dynamical
and measurement noise included. Closed loop feedback algorithms compare
favorably to open-loop "switching" analogs, demonstrating the importance of
applying actual position information in real time. The high optical information
rate in current experiments enables real-time tracking that approaches the
standard quantum limit for broadband position measurements, suggesting that
realistic active feedback schemes may reach a regime where measurement
backaction appreciably alters the motional dynamics.Comment: 12 pages, 10 figures, submitted to J. Opt. B Quant. Semiclass. Op
A robust LMI approach on nonlinear feedback stabilization of continuous state-delay systems with Lipschitzian nonlinearities : experimental validation
This paper suggests a novel nonlinear state-fe edback stabilization control law using linear matrix inequalities for a class oftime-delayed nonlinear dynamic systems with Lipschitz nonlinearity conditions. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskiistability theory, the asymptotic stabilization criterion is derived in the linear matrix inequality form and the coef¿cients ofthe nonlinear state-feedback controller are determined. Meanwhile, an appropriate criterion to ¿nd the proper feedbackgain matrix F is also provided. The robustness purpose against nonlinear functions and time delays is guaranteed in thisscheme. Moreover , the problem of robust H!performance analysis for a class of nonlinear time-delayed system s withexternal disturbance is studied in this paper. Simulations are presented to demonstrate the pro¿ciency of the offeredtechnique. For this purpos e, an unstable nonlinear numerical system and a rotary inverted pendulum system have beenstudied in the simulation section. Moreover, an experimental study of the practical rotary inverted pendul um system isprovided. These results con¿rm the expected satisfactory performance of the suggested method.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
Impulsive consensus for complex dynamical networks with nonidentical nodes and coupling time-delays
This paper investigates the problem of global consensus between a complex dynamical network (CDN) and a known goal signal by designing an impulsive consensus control scheme. The dynamical network is complex with respect to the uncertainties, nonidentical nodes, and coupling time-delays. The goal signal can be a measurable vector function or a solution of a dynamical system. By utilizing the Lyapunov function and Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional methods, robust global exponential stability criteria are derived for the error system, under which global exponential impulsive consensus is achieved for the CDN. These criteria are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and algebraic inequalities. Thus, the impulsive controller can be easily designed by solving the derived inequalities. Meanwhile, the estimations of the consensus rate for global exponential consensus are also obtained. Two examples with numerical simulations are worked out for illustration. © 2011 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics.published_or_final_versio
