Balanced truncation for linear switched systems
In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the model reduction
algorithm for linear switched systems. This algorithm is a reminiscence of the
balanced truncation method for linear parameter varying systems. Specifically
in this paper, we provide a bound on the approximation error in L2 norm for
continuous-time and l2 norm for discrete-time linear switched systems. We
provide a system theoretic interpretation of grammians and their singular
values. Furthermore, we show that the performance of bal- anced truncation
depends only on the input-output map and not on the choice of the state-space
representation. For a class of stable discrete-time linear switched systems (so
called strongly stable systems), we define nice controllability and nice
observability grammians, which are genuinely related to reachability and
controllability of switched systems. In addition, we show that quadratic
stability and LMI estimates of the L2 and l2 gains depend only on the
input-output map.Comment: We have corrected a number of typos and inconsistencies. In addition,
we added new results in Theorem
Coprime Factor Reduction of H-infinity Controllers
We consider the efficient solution of the coprime factorization based H infinity controller approximation problems by using frequency-weighted balancing related model reduction approaches. It is shown that for a class of frequency-weighted performance preserving coprime factor reduction as well as for a relative error coprime factor reduction method, the computation of the frequency-weighted controllability and observability grammians can be done by solving Lyapunov equations of the order of the controller. The new approach can be used in conjunction with accuracy enhancing square-root and balancing-free techniques developed for the balancing related coprime factors based model reduction
Systems control theory applied to natural and synthetic musical sounds
Systems control theory is a far developped field which helps to study stability, estimation and control of dynamical systems. The physical behaviour of musical instruments, once described by dynamical systems, can then be controlled and numerically simulated for many purposes.
The aim of this paper is twofold: first, to provide the theoretical background on linear system theory, both in continuous and discrete time, mainly in the case of a finite number of degrees of freedom ; second, to give illustrative examples on wind instruments, such as the vocal tract represented as a waveguide, and a sliding flute
Backward Linear Control Systems on Time Scales
We show how a linear control systems theory for the backward nabla
differential operator on an arbitrary time scale can be obtained via Caputo's
duality. More precisely, we consider linear control systems with outputs
defined with respect to the backward jump operator. Kalman criteria of
controllability and observability, as well as realizability conditions, are
proved.Comment: Submitted November 11, 2009; Revised March 28, 2010; Accepted April
