Inf-Sup Control of Discontinuous PWA Systems

چکیده
Piecewise affine (PWA) systems is an important class of systems. In this paper we consider optimal control of constrained, discontinuous, discrete-time, piecewise affine systems with state and input dependent disturbances. We seek to pre-compute, via dynamic programming, an explicit control law for these systems when a piecewise affine cost function is utilized. The main difficulty with this problem class is that, even for initial states for which the value function of the optimal control problem is finite, there might not exist a control law that attains the infimum. Hence, we propose a method that is guaranteed to obtain a sub-optimal solution, and where the degree of sub-optimality can be a priori specified. This is achieved by approximating the underlying sub-problems with a piecewise parametric linear program.

Tracking and synchronisation for a class of PWA systems
In this paper, the tracking problem for a class of discontinuous piecewise affine (PWA) systems is addressed. We propose an observer-based output-feedback control design, consisting of a feedforward, a piecewise affine feedback law and amodel-based observer, solving the tracking problem. These synthesis results can also be employed to tackle the master–slave synchronisation problem for PWA syst...
متن کاملOn convergence properties of piecewise affine systems
In this paper convergence properties of piecewise affine (PWA) systems are studied. In general, a system is called convergent if all its solutions converge to some bounded globally asymptotically stable steady-state solution. The notions of exponential, uniform and quadratic convergence are introduced and studied. It is shown that for non-linear systems with discontinuous right-hand sides, quad...
متن کاملConstructively well-posed approximation methods with unity inf-sup and continuity constants for partial differential equations
Starting from the generalized Lax-Milgram theorem and from the fact that the approximation error is minimized when the continuity and inf– sup constants are unity, we develop a theory that provably delivers well-posed approximation methods with unity continuity and inf–sup constants for numerical solution of linear partial differential equations. We demonstrate our single-framework theory on sc...
متن کاملGlobal input-to-state stability and stabilization of discrete-time piecewise affine systems
This article presents conditions for global input-to-state stability (ISS) and stabilization of discrete-time, possibly discontinuous, piecewise affine (PWA) systems. Piecewise quadratic, possibly discontinuous candidate ISS Lyapunov functions are employed for both analysis and synthesis purposes. This enables us to obtain sufficient conditions based on linear matrix inequalities, which can be ...
متن کاملStability Analysis and Controller Synthesis for a Class of Piecewise Smooth Systems
Stability Analysis and Controller Synthesis for a Class of Piecewise Smooth Systems Behzad Samadi, Ph.D. Concordia Unviersity, 2008 This thesis deals with the analysis and synthesis of piecewise smooth (PWS) systems. In general, PWS systems are nonsmooth systems, which means their vector fields are discontinuous functions of the state vector. Dynamic behavior of nonsmooth systems is richer than...
