On general systems with network-enhanced complexities
In recent years, the study of networked control systems (NCSs) has gradually become an active research area due to the advantages of using networked media in many aspects such as the ease of maintenance and installation, the large flexibility and the low cost. It is well known that the devices in networks are mutually connected via communication cables that are of limited capacity. Therefore, some network-induced phenomena have inevitably emerged in the areas of signal processing and control engineering. These phenomena include, but are not limited to, network-induced communication delays, missing data, signal quantization, saturations, and channel fading. It is of great importance to understand how these phenomena influence the closed-loop stability and performance properties
Bounded real lemmas for positive descriptor systems
A well known result in the theory of linear positive systems is the existence of positive definite diagonal matrix (PDDM) solutions to some well known linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In this paper, based on the positivity characterization, a novel bounded real lemma for continuous positive descriptor systems in terms of strict LMI is first established by the separating hyperplane theorem. The result developed here provides a necessary and sufficient condition for systems to possess H?H? norm less than ? and shows the existence of PDDM solution. Moreover, under certain condition, a simple model reduction method is introduced, which can preserve positivity, stability and H?H? norm of the original systems. An advantage of such method is that systems? matrices of the reduced order systems do not involve solving of LMIs conditions. Then, the obtained results are extended to discrete case. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results
Signal Reconstruction via H-infinity Sampled-Data Control Theory: Beyond the Shannon Paradigm
This paper presents a new method for signal reconstruction by leveraging
sampled-data control theory. We formulate the signal reconstruction problem in
terms of an analog performance optimization problem using a stable
discrete-time filter. The proposed H-infinity performance criterion naturally
takes intersample behavior into account, reflecting the energy distributions of
the signal. We present methods for computing optimal solutions which are
guaranteed to be stable and causal. Detailed comparisons to alternative methods
are provided. We discuss some applications in sound and image reconstruction
