Title: Global sampled‐data stabilization via static output feedback for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems
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

  1. Abstract Global sampled‐data stabilization for a class of nonlinear continuous system with input delay has been investigated directly in the discrete‐time domain due to challenges confronted in dealing with infinite‐dimensional system under input delay. Memorized state feedback controllers and output feedback controllers based on dynamic extension of state space have been constructed within the framework of co‐design between sampling period and scaling gain. Upon this compensation scheme, global sampled‐data stabilization a class of nonlinear system has been successfully realized no matter the input delay is smaller than the sampling period or not. Compared with memory‐less sampled‐data controllers, not only sampled‐data stabilization under large input delay has been realized but also transient performance of closed‐loop system has been further improved. Simulation results under different input delays and sampling periods have illustrated the effectiveness of results obtained.

  2. 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.

  3. This paper proposes a multirate output-feedback controller for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, possibly with non-minimum-phase zeros, using the L1 adaptive control structure. The analysis of stability and robustness of the sampled-data controller reveals that under certain conditions the performance of a continuous-time reference system is uniformly recovered as the sampling time goes to zero. The controller is designed for detection and mitigation of actuator attacks. By considering a multirate formulation, stealthy zero-dynamics attacks become detectable. The experimental results from the flight test of a small quadrotor are provided. The tests show that the multirate L1 controller can effectively detect the zero-dynamics actuator attack and recover stability of the quadrotor.

  4. This letter introduces a novel method for the stability analysis of positive feedback systems with a class of fully connected feedforward neural networks (FFNN) controllers. By establishing sector bounds for fully connected FFNNs without biases, we present a stability theorem that demonstrates the global exponential stability of linear systems under fully connected FFNN control. Utilizing principles from positive Lur’e systems and the positive Aizerman conjecture, our approach effectively addresses the challenge of ensuring stability in highly nonlinear systems. The crux of our method lies in maintaining sector bounds that preserve the positivity and Hurwitz property of the overall Lur’e system. We showcase the practical applicability of our methodology through its implementation in a linear system managed by a FFNN trained on output feedback controller data, highlighting its potential for enhancing stability in dynamic systems.

  5. We consider the problem of designing a feedback controller that guides the input and output of a linear time-invariant system to a minimizer of a convex optimization problem. The system is subject to an unknown disturbance, piecewise constant in time, which shifts the feasible set defined by the system equilibrium constraints. Our proposed design combines proportional-integral control with gradient feedback, and enforces the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker optimality conditions in steady-state without incorporating dual variables into the controller. We prove that the input and output variables achieve optimality in steady-state, and provide a stability criterion based on absolute stability theory. The effectiveness of our approach is illustrated on a simple example system.
