Sensitivity bond graphs
A sensitivity bond graph, of the same structure as the system bond graph, is shown to provide a simple and effective method of generating sensitivity functions of use in optimisation. The approach is illustrated in the context of partially known system parameter and state estimation
Passivity Degradation In Discrete Control Implementations: An Approximate Bisimulation Approach
In this paper, we present some preliminary results for compositional analysis
of heterogeneous systems containing both discrete state models and continuous
systems using consistent notions of dissipativity and passivity. We study the
following problem: given a physical plant model and a continuous feedback
controller designed using traditional control techniques, how is the
closed-loop passivity affected when the continuous controller is replaced by a
discrete (i.e., symbolic) implementation within this framework? Specifically,
we give quantitative results on performance degradation when the discrete
control implementation is approximately bisimilar to the continuous controller,
and based on them, we provide conditions that guarantee the boundedness
property of the closed-loop system.Comment: This is an extended version of our IEEE CDC 2015 paper to appear in
