    In this note, robust stabilization and tracking performance of operator based nonlinear feedback control systems are studied by using robust right coprime factorization. Specifically, a new condition of robust right coprime factorization of nonlinear systems with unknown bounded perturbations is derived. Using the new condition, a broader class of nonlinear plants can be controlled robustly. When the spaces of the nonlinear plant output and the reference input are different, a space change filter is designed, and in this case this note considers tracking controller design using the exponential iteration theorem

    Tracking of perturbed nonlinear plants using robust right coprime factorization approach

    This paper deals with a plant output tracking design problem of perturbed nonlinear plants by using a robust right coprime factorization approach. An interesting control system design scheme, which was given by G. Chen and Z. Han, uses robustness of the right coprime factorization for robust stability of the closed-loop system with perturbation. Unfortunately, robust right coprime factorization cannot easily improve tracking performance of the control system except for simple cases. In this paper, a nonlinear operator-based design method for nonlinear plant output to track a reference input is given. Examples are presented to support the theoretical analysis.</p

    Parameterization of Stabilizing Linear Coherent Quantum Controllers

    Full text link
    This paper is concerned with application of the classical Youla-Ku\v{c}era parameterization to finding a set of linear coherent quantum controllers that stabilize a linear quantum plant. The plant and controller are assumed to represent open quantum harmonic oscillators modelled by linear quantum stochastic differential equations. The interconnections between the plant and the controller are assumed to be established through quantum bosonic fields. In this framework, conditions for the stabilization of a given linear quantum plant via linear coherent quantum feedback are addressed using a stable factorization approach. The class of stabilizing quantum controllers is parameterized in the frequency domain. Also, this approach is used in order to formulate coherent quantum weighted H2H_2 and HH_\infty control problems for linear quantum systems in the frequency domain. Finally, a projected gradient descent scheme is proposed to solve the coherent quantum weighted H2H_2 control problem.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, a version of this paper is to appear in the Proceedings of the 10th Asian Control Conference, Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, 31 May - 3 June, 201

    Worst-case analysis of identification - BIBO robustness for closed loop data

    Get PDF
    This paper deals with the worst-case analysis of identification of linear shift-invariant (possibly) infinite-dimensional systems. A necessary and sufficient input richness condition for the existence of robustly convergent identification algorithms in l1 is given. A closed-loop identification setting is studied to cover both stable and unstable (but BIBO stabilizable) systems. Identification (or modeling) error is then measured by distance functions which lead to the weakest convergence notions for systems such that closed-loop stability, in the sense of BIBO stability, is a robust property. Worst-case modeling error bounds in several distance functions are include

    A State-Space Approach to Parametrization of Stabilizing Controllers for Nonlinear Systems

    Get PDF
    A state-space approach to Youla-parametrization of stabilizing controllers for linear and nonlinear systems is suggested. The stabilizing controllers (or a class of stabilizing controllers for nonlinear systems) are characterized as (linear/nonlinear) fractional transformations of stable parameters. The main idea behind this approach is to decompose the output feedback stabilization problem into state feedback and state estimation problems. The parametrized output feedback controllers have separation structures. A separation principle follows from the construction. This machinery allows the parametrization of stabilizing controllers to be conducted directly in state space without using coprime-factorization
