A unified approach to controller design for achieving ISS and related properties
A unified approach to the design of controllers achieving various specified input-to-state stability (ISS) like properties is presented. Both full state and measurement feedback cases are considered. Synthesis procedures based on dynamic programming are given using the recently developed results on controller synthesis to achieve uniform l∞ bound. Our results provide a link between the ISS literature and the nonlinear H∞ design literature. © 2005 IEEE
Strong iISS: combination of iISS and ISS with respect to small inputs
International audienceThis paper studies the notion of Strong iISS, which imposes both integral input-to-state stability (iISS) and input-to-state stability (ISS) with respect to small inputs. This combination characterizes the robustness property, exhibited by many practical systems, that the state remains bounded as long as the magnitude of exogenous inputs is reasonably small but may diverge for stronger disturbances. We provide three Lyapunov-type sufficient conditions for Strong iISS. One is based on iISS Lyapunov functions admitting a radially non- vanishing (class K) dissipation rate. However we show that it is not a necessary condition for Strong iISS. Two less conservative conditions are then provided, which are used to demonstrate that asymptotically stable bilinear systems are Strongly iISS. Finally, we discuss cascade and feedback interconnections of Strong iISS systems
Input-to-State Stabilization in -Norm for Boundary Controlled Linear Hyperbolic PDEs with Application to Quantized Control
International audienceWe consider a system of linear hyperbolic PDEs where the state at one of the boundary points is controlled using the measurements of another boundary point. For this system class, the problem of designing dynamic controllers for input-to-state stabilization in -norm with respect to measurement errors is considered. The analysis is based on constructing a Lyapunov function for the closed-loop system which leads to controller synthesis and the conditions on system dynamics required for stability. As an application of this stability notion, the problem of quantized control for hyperbolic PDEs is considered where the measurements sent to the controller are communicated using a quantizer of finite length. The presence of quantizer yields practical stability only, and the ultimate bounds on the norm of the state trajectory are also derived
