Controller Synthesis for Discrete-Time Polynomial Systems via Occupation Measures
In this paper, we design nonlinear state feedback controllers for
discrete-time polynomial dynamical systems via the occupation measure approach.
We propose the discrete-time controlled Liouville equation, and use it to
formulate the controller synthesis problem as an infinite-dimensional linear
programming problem on measures, which is then relaxed as finite-dimensional
semidefinite programming problems on moments of measures and their duals on
sums-of-squares polynomials. Nonlinear controllers can be extracted from the
solutions to the relaxed problems. The advantage of the occupation measure
approach is that we solve convex problems instead of generally non-convex
problems, and the computational complexity is polynomial in the state and input
dimensions, and hence the approach is more scalable. In addition, we show that
the approach can be applied to over-approximating the backward reachable set of
discrete-time autonomous polynomial systems and the controllable set of
discrete-time polynomial systems under known state feedback control laws. We
illustrate our approach on several dynamical systems
New advances in H∞ control and filtering for nonlinear systems
The main objective of this special issue is to
summarise recent advances in H∞ control and filtering
for nonlinear systems, including time-delay, hybrid and
stochastic systems. The published papers provide new
ideas and approaches, clearly indicating the advances
made in problem statements, methodologies or applications
with respect to the existing results. The special
issue also includes papers focusing on advanced and
non-traditional methods and presenting considerable
novelties in theoretical background or experimental
setup. Some papers present applications to newly
emerging fields, such as network-based control and
estimation
Algorithmic Verification of Continuous and Hybrid Systems
We provide a tutorial introduction to reachability computation, a class of
computational techniques that exports verification technology toward continuous
and hybrid systems. For open under-determined systems, this technique can
sometimes replace an infinite number of simulations.Comment: In Proceedings INFINITY 2013, arXiv:1402.661
A new solution approach to polynomial LPV system analysis and synthesis
Based on sum-of-squares (SOS) decomposition, we propose a new solution approach for polynomial LPV system analysis and control synthesis problems. Instead of solving matrix variables over a positive definite cone, the SOS approach tries to find a suitable decomposition to verify the positiveness of given polynomials. The complexity of the SOS-based numerical method is polynomial of the problem size. This approach also leads to more accurate solutions to LPV systems than most existing relaxation methods. Several examples have been used to demonstrate benefits of the SOS-based solution approach
Sapo: Reachability Computation and Parameter Synthesis of Polynomial Dynamical Systems
Sapo is a C++ tool for the formal analysis of polynomial dynamical systems.
Its main features are: 1) Reachability computation, i.e., the calculation of
the set of states reachable from a set of initial conditions, and 2) Parameter
synthesis, i.e., the refinement of a set of parameters so that the system
satisfies a given specification. Sapo can represent reachable sets as unions of
boxes, parallelotopes, or parallelotope bundles (symbolic representation of
polytopes). Sets of parameters are represented with polytopes while
specifications are formalized as Signal Temporal Logic (STL) formulas
