μ-Dependent model reduction for uncertain discrete-time switched linear systems with average dwell time
In this article, the model reduction problem for a class of discrete-time polytopic uncertain switched linear systems with average dwell time switching is investigated. The stability criterion for general discrete-time switched systems is first explored, and a μ-dependent approach is then introduced for the considered systems to the model reduction solution. A reduced-order model is constructed and its corresponding existence conditions are derived via LMI formulation. The admissible switching signals and the desired reduced model matrices are accordingly obtained from such conditions such that the resulting model error system is robustly exponentially stable and has an exponential H∞ performance. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the potential and effectiveness of the developed theoretical results
Distributive Power Control Algorithm for Multicarrier Interference Network over Time-Varying Fading Channels - Tracking Performance Analysis and Optimization
Distributed power control over interference limited network has received an
increasing intensity of interest over the past few years. Distributed solutions
(like the iterative water-filling, gradient projection, etc.) have been
intensively investigated under \emph{quasi-static} channels. However, as such
distributed solutions involve iterative updating and explicit message passing,
it is unrealistic to assume that the wireless channel remains unchanged during
the iterations. Unfortunately, the behavior of those distributed solutions
under \emph{time-varying} channels is in general unknown. In this paper, we
shall investigate the distributed scaled gradient projection algorithm (DSGPA)
in a pairs multicarrier interference network under a finite-state Markov
channel (FSMC) model. We shall analyze the \emph{convergence property} as well
as \emph{tracking performance} of the proposed DSGPA. Our analysis shows that
the proposed DSGPA converges to a limit region rather than a single point under
the FSMC model. We also show that the order of growth of the tracking errors is
given by \mathcal{O}\(1 \big/ \bar{N}\), where is the \emph{average
sojourn time} of the FSMC. Based on the analysis, we shall derive the
\emph{tracking error optimal scaling matrices} via Markov decision process
modeling. We shall show that the tracking error optimal scaling matrices can be
implemented distributively at each transmitter. The numerical results show the
superior performance of the proposed DSGPA over three baseline schemes, such as
the gradient projection algorithm with a constant stepsize.Comment: To Appear on the IEEE Transaction on Signal Processin
Sufficient Conditions for Fast Switching Synchronization in Time Varying Network Topologies
In previous work, empirical evidence indicated that a time-varying network
could propagate sufficient information to allow synchronization of the
sometimes coupled oscillators, despite an instantaneously disconnected
topology. We prove here that if the network of oscillators synchronizes for the
static time-average of the topology, then the network will synchronize with the
time-varying topology if the time-average is achieved sufficiently fast. Fast
switching, fast on the time-scale of the coupled oscillators, overcomes the
descychnronizing decoherence suggested by disconnected instantaneous networks.
This result agrees in spirit with that of where empirical evidence suggested
that a moving averaged graph Laplacian could be used in the master-stability
function analysis. A new fast switching stability criterion here-in gives
sufficiency of a fast-switching network leading to synchronization. Although
this sufficient condition appears to be very conservative, it provides new
insights about the requirements for synchronization when the network topology
is time-varying. In particular, it can be shown that networks of oscillators
can synchronize even if at every point in time the frozen-time network topology
is insufficiently connected to achieve synchronization.Comment: Submitted to SIAD
A review of convex approaches for control, observation and safety of linear parameter varying and Takagi-Sugeno systems
This paper provides a review about the concept of convex systems based on Takagi-Sugeno, linear parameter varying (LPV) and quasi-LPV modeling. These paradigms are capable of hiding the nonlinearities by means of an equivalent description which uses a set of linear models interpolated by appropriately defined weighing functions. Convex systems have become very popular since they allow applying extended linear techniques based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to complex nonlinear systems. This survey aims at providing the reader with a significant overview of the existing LMI-based techniques for convex systems in the fields of control, observation and safety. Firstly, a detailed review of stability, feedback, tracking and model predictive control (MPC) convex controllers is considered. Secondly, the problem of state estimation is addressed through the design of proportional, proportional-integral, unknown input and descriptor observers. Finally, safety of convex systems is discussed by describing popular techniques for fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control (FTC).Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
