Dissipative Analysis and Control of Discrete-time State-space Symmetric Systems
In this paper, the problem of dissipativity analysis and output feedback control synthesis for discrete linear timeinvariant systems with state-space symmetry is investigated. Firstly, an explicit expression of H8 norm for discrete-time symmetric system is given under the mixed H8 and positive real performance criterion, and this is a particular case of dissipative systems. Subsequently, we consider the control synthesis problems for such systems and obtain an explicit parameterized expression of the static output feedback controllers. Finally, two numerical examples are employed to show the effectiveness and reliableness of the proposed approach
Sequential Synthesis of Distributed Controllers for Cascade Interconnected Systems
We consider the problem of designing distributed controllers to ensure
passivity of a large-scale interconnection of linear subsystems connected in a
cascade topology. The control design process needs to be carried out at the
subsystem-level with no direct knowledge of the dynamics of other subsystems in
the interconnection. We present a distributed approach to solve this problem,
where subsystem-level controllers are locally designed in a sequence starting
at one end of the cascade using only the dynamics of the particular subsystem,
coupling with the immediately preceding subsystem and limited information from
the preceding subsystem in the cascade to ensure passivity of the
interconnected system up to that point. We demonstrate that this design
framework also allows for new subsystems to be compositionally added to the
interconnection without requiring redesign of the pre-existing controllers.Comment: Accepted to appear in the proceedings of the American Control
