On Bounded Strictly Positive Operators of Closed Range and Some Applications to Asymptotic Hyperstability of Dynamic Systems

The problem discussed is the stability of two input-output feedforward and feedback relations, under an integral-type constraint defining an admissible class of feedback controllers. Sufficiency-type conditions are given for the positive, bounded and of closed range feed-forward operator to be strictly positive and then boundedly invertible, with its existing inverse being also a strictly positive operator. The general formalism is first established and the linked to properties of some typical contractive and pseudocontractive mappings while some real-world applications and links of the above formalism to asymptotic hyperstability of dynamic systems are discussed later on

Asymptotic hyperstability of a class of linear systems under impulsive controls subject to an integral popovian constraint

This paper is focused on the study of the important property of the asymptotic hyperstability of a class of continuous-time dynamic systems. The presence of a parallel connection of a strictly stable subsystem to an asymptotically hyperstable one in the feed-forward loop is allowed while it has also admitted the generation of a finite or infinite number of impulsive control actions which can be combined with a general form of nonimpulsive controls. The asymptotic hyperstability property is guaranteed under a set of sufficiency-type conditions for the impulsive controls

On the absolute stability approach to quantized feedback control

By exploring some geometric properties of the logarithmic quantizer and using the fact that the logarithmic quantizer is sector bounded and nondecreasing, this paper presents a new approach to the stability analysis of quantized feedback control systems. Our method is based on Tsypkin-type Lyapunov functions that have been widely used in absolute stability analysis problems. The results are expressed in linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and are valid for both single-input and multiple-input discrete-time linear systems with a logarithmic quantizer. Both theoretical analysis and numerical examples show that the results in this paper are generally less conservative than those in the quadratic framework. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
