in this paper a new method is introduced and investigated for removing the destabilizing effects of time-delay parameter in control loops. the concept of the method is taken from the knowledge concerning the dynamic behaviour of irrational transfer functions (ir-tf), which is discussed and investigated elswhere in frequency response domain and is explained briefly here. ir-tfs, which are well c...

This paper concerns the problem of output consensus in nonlinear non-minimum phase systems. The main contribution of the paper is to guarantee achieving consensus in the presence of unstable zero dynamics. To achieve this goal, an output redefinition method is proposed. The new outputs of agents are functions of original outputs and internal states and defined such that the dynamics of agents a...

in this paper, a new analytical method to find a near-optimal high gain controller for the non-minimum phase affine nonlinear systems is introduced. this controller is derived based on the closed form solution of the hamilton-jacobi-bellman (hjb) equation associated with the cheap control problem. this methodology employs an algebraic equation with parametric coefficients for the systems with s...

In this paper, we propose a framework for output tracking control of both minimum phase (MP) and non-minimum phase (NMP) discrete-time linear systems. Towards this end, we first address the problem of unknown state and input reconstruction of non-minimum phase systems. An unknown input observer (UIO) is designed that accurately reconstructs the minimum phase states of the system. The reconstruc...

-There has been a great deal of excitement recently over the development of a theory for explicitly linearizing the input-output response of a nonlinear system using state feedback. One shortcoming of this theory is the inability to deal with non-minimum phase nonlinear systems. Highly maneuverable jet aircraft, such as the V/STOL Harrier, belong to an important class of a slightly non-minimum ...

The paper presents a new tracking control approach for a class of non-minimum phase linear systems. The proposed approach consists of two parts: trajectory planning and tracking controller design. The trajectory planning is solved as an optimization problem to improve the achievable transient performance under the fundamental constraints associated with perfect tracking of non-minimum phase sys...
