Iterative Learning Control for Distributed Parameter Systems Based on Non-Collocated Sensors and Actuators

In this paper, an open-loop PD-type iterative learning control(ILC) scheme is first proposed for two kinds of distributed parameter systems(DPSs) which are described by parabolic partial differential equations using non-collocated sensors and actuators. Then, a closed-loop PD-type ILC algorithm is extended to a class of distributed parameter systems with a non-collocated single sensor and m actuators when the initial states of the system exist some errors. Under some given assumptions, the convergence conditions of output errors for the systems can be obtained. Finally, one numerical example for a distributed parameter system with a single sensor and two actuators is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed ILC schemes.

An Improved Cooperative Team Spraying Control of a Diffusion Process With a Moving or Static Pollution Source

This paper is concerned with a control problem of a diffusion process with the help of static mesh sensor networks in a certain region of interest and a team of networked mobile actuators carrying chemical neutralizers.The major contribution of this paper can be divided into three parts:the first is the construction of a cyber-physical system framework based on centroidal Voronoi tessellations(CVTs),the second is the convergence analysis of the actuators location,and the last is a novel proportional integral(PI)control method for actuator motion planning and neutralizing control(e.g.,spraying)of a diffusion process with a moving or static pollution source,which is more effective than a proportional(P)control method.An optimal spraying control cost function is constructed.Then,the minimization problem of the spraying amount is addressed.Moreover,a new CVT algorithm based on the novel PI control method,henceforth called PI-CVT algorithm,is introduced together with the convergence analysis of the actuators location via a PI control law.Finally,a modified simulation platform called diffusion-mobile-actuators-sensors-2-dimension-proportional integral derivative(Diff-MAS2D-PID)is illustrated.In addition,a numerical simulation example for the diffusion process is presented to verify the effectiveness of our proposed controllers.

Event-based control for piecewise-affine systems subject to actuator saturation

We deal with event-triggered Hoo controller design for discrete-time piecewise-affine systems subject to actuator saturation.By considering saturation information,a novel event-triggered strategy is proposed to conserve communication resources.A linear matrix inequality based condition is derived based on a piecewise Lyapunov function.This condition guarantees the stability of the closed-loop system with a certain Hoo performance index and reduces the number of transmitted signals.Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of our method.

Mobile observation for distributed parameter system with moving boundary over mobile sensor networks

This paper considers the state observation for a class of distributed parameter systems(DPSs)with moving boundaries modelled by parabolic partial differential equations(PDEs).The method of mobile observation is presented to improve the observation performance of the systems and to eliminate the influence of moving boundaries on system observation with the aids of mobile sensor networks(MSNs).The MSNs which can move throughout the time-dependent spatial domain are used to provide the spatially averaged observations of the DPSs.By using the abstract evolution equation theory of parabolic PDEs and the Lyapunov stability arguments,a centralised observer is designed and a mobile control scheme for each of the mobile sensors is presented while taking account of the dynamics of the MSNs.A numerical example is finally presented to illustrate the effectiveness and the advantages of the proposed approach.
