Stabilization of a linear system under control constraints is approached by combining the classical variation of parameters method for solving ODEs and a straightforward construction of a feedback law for the variational system based on a quadratic Lyapunov function. Sufficient conditions for global closed-loop stability under control constraints with zero in the interior and zero on the boundary of the control set are derived, and several examples are reported. The extension of the method to nonlinear systems with control constraints is described.

Periodic event‐triggered control for incrementally quadratic nonlinear systems
Abstract Periodic event‐triggered control (PETC) evaluates triggering conditions only at periodic sampling times, based on which it is decided whether the controller needs to be updated. This article investigates the global stabilization of nonlinear systems that are affected by external disturbances under PETC mechanisms. Sufficient conditions are provided to ensure the resulting closed‐loop system is input‐to‐state stable (ISS) for the state feedback and the observer‐based output feedback configurations separately. The sampling period and the triggering functions are chosen such that the ISS‐Lyapunov function of continuous dynamics is also the ISS‐Lyapunov function of the overall system. Based on that, sufficient conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities are provided for the PETC design of incrementally quadratic nonlinear systems. Two simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract This paper presents dynamic design techniques—namely, continuous-time event-triggered control (CETC), periodic event-triggered control (PETC) and self-triggered control (STC)—for a class of unstable one-dimensional reaction-diffusion partial differential equations (PDEs) with boundary control and an anti-collocated sensing mechanism. For the first time, global exponential stability (GES) of the closed-loop system is established using a PDE backstepping control design combined with dynamic event-triggered mechanisms for parabolic PDEs—a result not previously achieved even under full-state measurement. When the emulated continuous-time backstepping controller is implemented on the plant using a zero-order hold, our design guarantees $$ L^{2} $$-GES through the integration of novel switching dynamic event triggers and a newly developed Lyapunov functional. While CETC requires the continuous monitoring of the triggering function to detect events, PETC only requires the periodic evaluation of this function. The STC design assumes full-state measurements and, unlike CETC, does not require continuous monitoring of any triggering function. Instead, it computes the next event time at the current event time using only full-state measurements available at the current event time and the immediate previous event time. Thus, STC operates entirely with event-triggered measurements, in contrast to CETC and PETC, which rely on continuous measurements. The well-posedness of the closed-loop systems under all three strategies is established, and simulation results are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.more » « less

Summary This paper proposes some novel compensating strategies in output feedback controller design for a class of nonlinear uncertain system. With Euler approximation introduced for unmeasured state and coordinate transformation constructed for continuous system, sampled‐data stabilization under arbitrary sampling period is firstly realized for linear system using compensation between sampling period and scaling gain. Then global sampled‐data stabilization for a class of nonlinear system is studied using linear feedback domination of Lyapunov functions. Extension of obtained results to three‐dimensional system or systems under general assumptions are also presented. With the compensation schemes proposed in controller design, the sufficiently small sampling period or approximating step previously imposed is not required any more. The proposed controllers can be easily implemented using output measurements sampled at the current step and delayed output measurements sampled at the previous step without constructing state observers which has been illustrated by the numerical studies.more » « less

This paper analyzes the consensus problem in heterogenous nonlinear multiagent systems. The multiagent systems not only have nonidentical nonlinear dynamics for all agents, but also have different network topologies for position and velocity interactions. An asynchronous sampled-data control without any input delays is first proposed, the information of each agent is only sampled at its own sampling instants and need not be sampled at other sampling instants. Then, quasi-consensus in heterogenous multiagent systems is proved by Lyapunov stability theory. When asynchronous sampled-data control has nonuniform input delays, sufficient conditions for quasi-consensus in heterogenous multiagent systems are further obtained. The upper bound of quasi-consensus errors is estimated. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to verify the effectiveness of theoretical results.more » « less

Abstract This paper introduces an adaptive robust trajectory tracking controller design to provably realize stable bipedal robotic walking under parametric and unmodeled uncertainties. Deriving such a controller is challenging mainly because of the highly complex bipedal walking dynamics that are hybrid and involve nonlinear, uncontrolled state-triggered jumps. The main contribution of the study is the synthesis of a continuous-phase adaptive robust tracking control law for hybrid models of bipedal robotic walking by incorporating the construction of multiple Lyapunov functions into the control Lyapunov function. The evolution of the Lyapunov function across the state-triggered jumps is explicitly analyzed to construct sufficient conditions that guide the proposed control design for provably guaranteeing the stability and tracking the performance of the hybrid system in the presence of uncertainties. Simulation results on fully actuated bipedal robotic walking validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in walking stabilization under uncertainties.more » « less
