Linear parameter varying (LPV) systems are nonlinear systems which can be modelled as linear systems whose parameters change as a function of different "scheduling parameters". In other words, the dynamics of the LPV systems change during the operation hence they require a parameter dependent controller. Although classical gain-scheduling approaches satisfy some performance criteria for constant dynamics, they don't guarantee stability while the scheduling parameter is changing. On the other hand, H∞-norm based LPV control methods utilizing parameter dependent Lyapunov functions provide stability and performance guarantees for the closed-loop system throughout the whole operation. This controller synthesis problem is infinite-dimensional due to the dependency on the scheduling parameter, with the help of polytopic approach it turns into a finite-dimensional convex search with constraints in the form of linear matrix inequalities. In this thesis, LPV control is applied for lane keeping and a launch vehicle system. LPV system models are derived for both systems based on respective nonlinear models of the lateral vehicle dynamics and a rocket by linearization and selection of a suitable scheduling parameter. LPV controllers are designed using a linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation of the stability conditions and performance constraints. The functionality of the designed controllers is validated by extensive high fidelity simulations.

Synchronization under matrix-weighted Laplacian Tuna, Sezai Emre (Elsevier BV, 2016-11-01) Synchronization in a group of linear time-invariant systems is studied where the coupling between each pair of systems is characterized by a different output matrix. Simple methods are proposed to generate a (separate) linear coupling gain for each pair of systems, which ensures that all the solutions converge to a common trajectory.
Fuzzy Discrete Event Systems for Multiobjective Control: Framework and Application to Mobile Robot Navigation Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2012-10-01) Fuzzy discrete event systems (FDESs) have been introduced in recent years to model systems whose discrete states or discrete state transitions can be uncertain and are, hence, determined by a possibility degree. This paper develops an FDES framework for the control of sampled data systems that have to fulfill multiple objectives. The choice of a fuzzy system representation is justified by the assumption of a controller realization that depends on various potentially imprecise sensor measurements. The propos...
Quantitative measure of observability for linear stochastic systems Subasi, Yuksel; Demirekler, Mübeccel (Elsevier BV, 2014-06-01) In this study we define a new observability measure for stochastic systems: the mutual information between the state sequence and the corresponding measurement sequence for a given time horizon. Although the definition is given for a general system representation, the paper focuses on the linear time invariant Gaussian case. Some basic analytical results are derived for this special case. The measure is extended to the observability of a subspace of the state space, specifically an individual state and/or t...
Dynamic simulation metamodeling using MARS: A case of radar simulation Bozagac, Doruk; Batmaz, İnci; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S. (2016-06-01) Dynamic system simulations require relating the inputs to the multivariate output which can be a function of time space coordinates. In this work, we propose a methodology for the metamodeling of dynamic simulation models via Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS). To handle incomplete output processes, where the simulation model does not produce an output in some steps due to missing inputs, we have devised a two-stage metamodeling scheme. The methodology is demonstrated on a dynamic radar simulat...
Algorithm Overview and Design for Mixed Effects Models Koca, Burcu; Gökalp Yavuz, Fulya (2021-06-06) Linear Mixed Model (LMM) is an extended regression method that is used for longitudinal data which has repeated measures within the individual. It is natural to expect high correlation between these repeats over a period of time for the same individual. Since classical approaches may fail to cover these correlations, LMM handles this significant concern by introducing random effect terms in the model. Besides its flexible structure in terms of modeling, LMM has several application areas such as clinical tri...
