Networked control systems in the presence of scheduling protocols and communication delays

This paper develops the time-delay approach to Networked Control Systems (NCSs) in the presence of variable transmission delays, sampling intervals and communication constraints. The system sensor nodes are supposed to be distributed over a network. Due to communication constraints only one node output is transmitted through the communication channel at once. The scheduling of sensor information towards the controller is ruled by a weighted Try-Once-Discard (TOD) or by Round-Robin (RR) protocols. Differently from the existing results on NCSs in the presence of scheduling protocols (in the frameworks of hybrid and discrete-time systems), we allow the communication delays to be greater than the sampling intervals. A novel hybrid system model for the closed-loop system is presented that contains {\it time-varying delays in the continuous dynamics and in the reset conditions}. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii method, which is based on discontinuous in time Lyapunov functionals is introduced for the stability analysis of the delayed hybrid systems. Polytopic type uncertainties in the system model can be easily included in the analysis. The efficiency of the time-delay approach is illustrated on the examples of uncertain cart-pendulum and of batch reactor

Predictor-based sampled-data exponential stabilization through continuous–discrete observers

International audienceThe problem of stabilizing a linear continuous-time system with discrete-time measurements and a sampled input with a pointwise constant delay is considered. In a first part, we design a continuous-discrete observer which converges when the maximum time interval between two consecutive measurements is sufficiently small. In a second part, we construct a dynamic output feedback by using a technique which is strongly reminiscent of the reduction model approach. It stabilizes the system when the maximal time between two consecutive sampling instants is sufficiently small. No limitation on the size of the delay is imposed and an ISS property with respect to additive disturbances is established

Stabilization of underactuated linear coupled reaction-diffusion PDEs via distributed or boundary actuation

This work concerns the exponential stabilization of underactuated linear homogeneous systems of $m$ parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) in cascade (reaction-diffusion systems), where only the first state is controlled either internally or from the right boundary and in which the diffusion coefficients are distinct. For the distributed control case, a proportional-type stabilizing control is given explicitly. After applying modal decomposition, the stabilizing law is based on a transformation for the ODE system corresponding to the comparatively unstable modes into a target one, where the calculation of the stabilization law is independent of the arbitrarily large number of these modes. This is achieved by solving generalized Sylvester equations recursively. For the boundary control case, the proposed controller is dynamic under appropriate sufficient conditions on the coupling matrix (reaction term). A dynamic extension technique is first performed via trigonometric change of variables that places the control internally. Then, modal decomposition is applied followed by a state transformation of the ODE system which must be stabilized in order to be written in a form in which a dynamic law can be established. For both distributed and boundary control systems, a constructive and scalable stabilization algorithm is proposed, as the choice of the controller gains is independent of the number of unstable modes and only relies on the stabilization of the reaction term. The present approach solves the problem of stabilization of underactuated systems when in the presence of distinct diffusion coefficients. The problem is not directly solvable, similarly to the scalar PDE case.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:2202.0880

Geometric approach to vibrational control of singularly perturbed systems

We extend the theory of vibrational stabilizability to systems with fast and slow variables. The mathematical tools for establishing corresponding results are the persistence theory of normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds, the averaging theory and appropriate transformations. At the same time we introduce modified concepts of vibrational stabilizability compared with the 'classical' definitions
