Feedback control of linear time-varying systems arises in numerous applications. In this paper we numerically investigate and compare the performance of two heuristic techniques. The first technique is the frozen-time Riccati equation, which is analogous to the state-dependent Riccati equation, where the instantaneous dynamics matrix is used within an algebraic Riccati equation solved at each time step. The second technique is the forward-propagating Riccati equation, which solves the differential algebraic Riccati equation forward in time rather than backward in time as in optimal control. Both techniques are heuristic and suboptimal in the sense that neither stability nor optimal performance is guaranteed. To assess the performance of these methods, we construct Pareto efficiency curves that illustrate the state and control cost tradeoffs. Three examples involving periodically time-varying dynamics are considered, including a second-order exponentially unstable Mathieu equation, a fourth-order rotating disk with rigid body unstable modes, and a 10th-order parametrically forced beam with exponentially unstable dynamics. The first two examples assume full-state feedback, while the last example uses a scalar displacement measurement with state estimation performed by a dual Riccati technique.

A new real-time suboptimum filtering and prediction scheme for general nonlinear discrete dynamic systems with Gaussian or non-Gaussian noise Demirbaş, Kerim (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) A new suboptimum state filtering and prediction scheme is proposed for nonlinear discrete dynamic systems with Gaussian or non-Gaussian disturbance and observation noises. This scheme is an online estimation scheme for real-time applications. Furthermore, this scheme is very suitable for state estimation under either constraints imposed on estimates or missing observations. State and observation models can be any nonlinear functions of the states, disturbance and observation noises as long as noise samples ...
A Control System Architecture for Control of Non-Affine in Control, Open-Loop Unstable Underactuated Systems Marangoz, Alp; Kutay, Ali Türker (2017-07-25) In this paper, a control system architecture for control of non-affine in control, open-loop unstable underactuated system is discussed. Passivization of the unactuated (internal) system dynamics achieved through perturbation of trajectories of the actuated states, which are calculated through adaptive dynamic inversion technique, based on Tikhonov's theorem. Performance of the controller is shown through simulation of two open-loop unstable and locally uncontrollable example problems.
AN OPTIMAL-CONTROL PROBLEM WITH NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC STATE-EQUATIONS Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Elsevier BV, 1992-02-01) In this article some of the results for optimal control of linear systems have been generalized to a nonlinear case. This is achieved by employing standard techniques of the nonlinear theory. After demonstrating the existence of optimal controls, finite element method is used to discretize the problem. The resulting finite dimensional problem is solved by a special algorithm. The theoretical discussions are completed by proving that approximate solutions are reduced to exact solutions as the element size te...
An improved method for inference of piecewise linear systems by detecting jumps using derivative estimation Selcuk, A. M.; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Elsevier BV, 2009-08-01) Inference of dynamical systems using piecewise linear models is a promising active research area. Most of the investigations in this field have been stimulated by the research in functional genomics. In this article we study the inference problem in piecewise linear systems. We propose first identifying the state transitions by detecting the jumps of the derivative estimates, then finding the guard conditions of the state transitions (thresholds) from the values of the state variables at the state transitio...
The stability of linear periodic Hamiltonian systems on time scales Zafer, Ağacık (2013-03-01) In this work, we give a new stability criterion for planar periodic Hamiltonian systems, improving the results from the literature. The method is based on an application of the Floquet theory recently established in [J.J. DaCunha, J.M. Davis, A unified Floquet theory for discrete, continuous, and hybrid periodic linear systems, J. Differential Equations 251 (2011) 2987-3027], and the use of a new definition for a generalized zero. The results obtained not only unify the related continuous and discrete ones ...
