摘要:This article investigates the problem of robust model predictive control (RMPC) of linear-time-invariant discrete-time systems subject to structured uncertainty and bounded disturbances. Typically, the constrained RMPC problem with state-feedback parameterizations is nonlinear (and nonconvex) with a prohibitively high computational burden for online implementation. To remedy this, a novel approach is proposed to linearize the state-feedback RMPC problem, with minimal conservatism, through the ...

摘要:By taking enthalpy-an internal energy of a diffusion-type system-as the system state and expressing it in terms of the temperature profile and the phase-change interface position, the output feedback boundary control laws for a fundamentally nonlinear single-phase one-dimensional (1-D) PDE process model with moving boundaries, referred to as the Stefan problem, are developed. The control objective is tracking of the spatiotemporal temperature and temporal interface (solidification front) traje...

摘要:rate-regulation tradeoff, defined between two objective functions, one penalizing the packet rate and one the regulation cost, can express the fundamental performance bound of networked control systems. However, the characterization of the set of globally optimal solutions in this tradeoff for multidimensional Gauss-Markov processes has been an open problem. In this article, we characterize a policy profile that belongs to this set without imposing any restrictions on the information structure...

摘要:It is highly desirable yet challenging to achieve zero-error tracking within a given short time period for uncertain multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems. Previous results are primarily state-regulation oriented and are valid only for single-input single-output linear systems or nonlinear systems in normal-form. This note presents a tracking control solution for high-order MIMO nonlinear systems in strict-feedback-like form. The proposed control is able to achieve precise tracking...

摘要:In this article, a novel adaptive tracking control technique is developed for multiple-input-multiple-output nonlinear systems with model uncertainty and under output constraints occurring in a limited time interval (OCOLT). The OCOLT, which is a type of constraints occurring sometime after (rather than the beginning of) system operation and with limited duration, can be found in many practical systems and has not been effectively addressed in the literature until now. By designing a new shift...

摘要:In this article, we study the problem of controlling a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP) to either aid or hinder the estimation of its state trajectory. We encode the estimation objectives via the smoother entropy, which is the conditional entropy of the state trajectory given measurements and controls. Consideration of the smoother entropy contrasts with previous approaches that instead resort to marginal (or instantaneous) state entropies due to tractability concerns. By est...

摘要:Satisfying both safety and reachability requirements in dynamic adversarial environments is very challenging, particularly when little or no information about the dynamics and intentions of the adversarial objects is available. Therefore, this article addresses the problem of path planning and control of autonomous vehicles in a dynamic adversarial reach-avoid scenario with two noncooperative vehicles and their competitive objectives: 1) reaching a target and avoiding the other vehicle for one...

摘要:This article investigates a nonblocking similarity control problem for nondeterministic discrete-event systems, which is a problem of synthesizing a nonblocking supervisor such that the supervised system is simulated by the given specification. In this article, the state of the system is not required to be observable, and the event occurrence is allowed to be partially observed. We propose an algorithm that computes a nonblocking supervisor from a possibly blocking one by iteratively removing ...

摘要:predictive control (MPC) algorithms have long been applied to nonlinear processes. In a quasi-linear parameter varying (qLPV) setting, nonlinearities are included into bounded scheduling parameters, which are given as a function of endogenous variables; these scheduling parameters are a priori unknown along a future prediction horizon, which complicates MPC design. To address this problem, the literature points out two options: robust MPC approaches, considering the scheduling to be uncertain;...

摘要:In this article, a novel control strategy namely disturbance observer-based control is first applied to stabilization and disturbance rejection for an antistable stochastic heat equation with Neumann boundary actuation and unknown boundary external disturbance generated by an exogenous system. A disturbance observer-based boundary control is designed based on the backstepping approach and estimation/cancellation strategy, where the unknown disturbance is estimated in real time by a disturbance...
