摘要:In this article, the output feedback-based direct model reference adaptive control of piecewise affine systems and its parameter convergence are investigated. Under the slow switching assumption, it is shown that all the closed-loop signals are bounded and the output tracking error is small in the mean square sense. Built upon this result, the estimation error of controller parameters is proved to converge to a residual set if the input signal is sufficiently rich. The relationship between the...

摘要:While it is widely used to represent hysteresis phenomena with unidirectional-oriented loops, we study in this article the use of Preisach operator for describing hysteresis behavior with multidirectional-oriented loops. This complex hysteresis behavior is commonly found in advanced materials, such as, shape-memory alloys or piezoelectric materials, that are used for high-precision sensor and actuator systems. We provide characterization of the Preisach operators exhibiting such input-output b...

摘要:We consider optimal control problems for continuous-time systems with time-dependent dynamics, in which the time-dependence arises from the presence of a known exogenous signal. The problem has been elegantly solved in the case of linear input-affine systems, for which it has been shown that the solution has a remarkable structure: It is given by the sum of two contributions; a state feedback, which coincides with the unperturbed optimal control law, and a purely feedforward term in charge of ...

摘要:Differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) are a widespread dynamical model that describes continuously evolving quantities defined with differential equations, subject to constraints expressed through algebraic relationships. As such, DAEs arise in many fields ranging from physics, chemistry, and engineering. In this article, we focus on linear DAEs, and develop a theory for their minimization up to an equivalence relation. We present differential equivalence, which relates DAE variables that ha...

摘要:This article addresses the problem of learning the optimal control policy for a nonlinear stochastic dynamical. This problem is subject to the curse of dimensionality associated with the dynamic programming method. This article proposes a novel decoupled data-based control (D2C) algorithm that addresses this problem using a decoupled, open-loop-closed-loop, approach. First, an open-loop deterministic trajectory optimization problem is solved using a black-box simulation model of the dynamical ...

摘要:To overcome the curses of dimensionality and modeling of dynamic programming methods to solve Markov decision process problems, reinforcement learning (RL) methods are adopted in practice. Contrary to traditional RL algorithms, which do not consider the structural properties of the optimal policy, we propose a structure-aware learning algorithm to exploit the ordered multithreshold structure of the optimal policy, if any. We prove the asymptotic convergence of the proposed algorithm to the opt...

摘要:During the analysis and design of a network system, a frequently encountered situation is when the network structure is known but the node dynamics is practically unknown. Thus, structural analysis in which the prior knowledge is mostly about the network structure has received attention in recent years. Motivated by this line of research, this article focuses on a structural design problem called the structural equilibrium control problem, which is used to find a sign pattern in the control in...

摘要:This article considers a discrete-time robust optimal control problem on matrix Lie groups. The underlying system is assumed to be perturbed by exogenous unmeasured bounded disturbances, and the control problem is posed as a min-max optimal control wherein the disturbance is the adversary and tries to maximize a cost that the control tries to minimize. Assuming the existence of a saddle point in the problem, we present a version of the Pontryagin maximum principle (PMP) that encapsulates first...

摘要:In this article, we propose an identification method for latent-variable graphical models associated with autoregressive (AR) Gaussian stationary processes. The identification procedure exploits the approximation of AR processes through stationary reciprocal processes thus benefiting of the numerical advantages of dealing with block-circulant matrices. These advantages become more and more significant as the order of the process gets large. We show how the identification can be cast in a regul...

摘要:This article studies the sensor placement problem in a leader-follower networked control system for improving its security against cyber-physical attacks. In a zero-sum game, the attacker selects f nodes of the network to attack, and the detector places f sensors to detect the presence of the attack signals. In our formulation, the attacker's objective is to have a large impact on a target node in the network while being as little visible as possible to the detector. The detector, however, see...
