The Extended Linear Complementarity Problem and Its Applications in Analysis and Control of Discrete- Event Systems

چکیده
In this chapter we give an overview of complementarity problems with a special focus on the extended linear complementarity problem (ELCP) and its applications in analysis and control of discrete-event systems such as traffic signal controlled intersections, manufacturing systems, railway networks, etc. We start by giving an introduction to the (regular) linear complementarity problem (LCP). Next, we discuss some extensions, with a particular emphasis on the ELCP, which can be considered to be the most general linear extension of the LCP. We then discuss some algorithms to compute one or all solutions of an ELCP. Next, we present a link between the ELCP and max-plus equations. This is then the basis for some applications of the ELCP in analysis and model-based predictive control of a special class of discrete-event systems. We also show that — although the general ELCP is NP-hard — the ELCP-based control problem can be transformed into a linear programming problem, which can be solved in polynomial time.

The extended linear complementarity problem and its applications in the analysis and control of discrete event systems and hybrid systems
In this paper we first present a mathematical programming problem, the Extended Linear Complementarity Problem (ELCP). Next we discuss how the ELCP can be used to solve some basic problems in the system theory for a class of discrete event systems that can be modeled using the max-plus algebra, which has maximization and addition as basic operations. Finally we show that the ELCP also appears i...
متن کاملOptimal Finite-time Control of Positive Linear Discrete-time Systems
This paper considers solving optimization problem for linear discrete time systems such that closed-loop discrete-time system is positive (i.e., all of its state variables have non-negative values) and also finite-time stable. For this purpose, by considering a quadratic cost function, an optimal controller is designed such that in addition to minimizing the cost function, the positivity proper...

متن کاملA new switching strategy for exponential stabilization of uncertain discrete-time switched linear systems in guaranteed cost control problem
Uncertain switched linear systems are known as an important class of control systems. Performance of these systems is affected by uncertainties and its stabilization is a main concern of recent studies. Existing work on stabilization of these systems only provides asymptotical stabilization via designing switching strategy and state-feedback controller. In this paper, a new switching strate...
متن کاملMPC for discrete-event systems with soft and hard synchronisation constraints
Discrete-event systems with only synchronisation and no concurrency, also known as timed event graphs or (max,+)-linear systems, have been studied by several authors. The synchronisation constraints that arise in these discrete-event systems are hard, i.e., they cannot be broken under any circumstance. In this paper we consider a more extended class of discrete-event systems with both hard and ...
