Design of robust non-fragile H-infinity controllerbased on Delta operator theory

Considering that the controller parameters are of additive norm-bounded uncertainties when realized, a design method of robust non-fragile H-infinity controller for uncertain systems based on Delta operator theory is illustrated in this paper. A sufficient and necessary condition of the existence for the controller is given, which is presented in LMI forms. Finally, the designed method is used in the speed control system of a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor （PMLSM）. With the designed controller, the resulting speed closed-loop system is still stable and has the expected Hinfinity performance even if the sample period is reduced and the parameters of the controller and the controlled object are varied. The results show that the designed method is effective.

Robust and Non-fragile H_∞ Control for a Class of Uncertain Jump Linear Systems

This paper describes the synthesis of robust and non-fragile H∞ state feedback controllers for a class of uncertain jump linear systems with Markovian jumping parameters and state multiplicative noises. Under the assumption of a complete access to the norm-bounds of the system uncertainties and controller gain variations, sufficient conditions on the existence of robust stochastic stability and γ-disturbance attenuation H∞ property are presented. A key feature of this scheme is that the gain matrices of controller are only based on It, the observed projection of the current regime rt.

A novel mixed-synchronization phenomenon in coupled Chua's circuits via non-fragile linear control

Dynamical variables of coupled nonlinear oscillators can exhibit different synchronization patterns depending on the designed coupling scheme. In this paper, a non-fragile linear feedback control strategy with multiplicative controller gain uncertainties is proposed for realizing the mixed-synchronization of Chua＇s circuits connected in a drive-response configuration. In particular, in the mixed-synchronization regime, different state variables of the response system can evolve into complete synchronization, anti-synchronization and even amplitude death simultaneously with the drive variables for an appropriate choice of scaling matrix. Using Lyapunov stability theory, we derive some sufficient criteria for achieving global mixed-synchronization. It is shown that the desired non-fragile state feedback controller can be constructed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. Numerical simulations are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.

This paper focuses on the problem of non-fragile hybrid guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain switched linear systems. The controller gain to be designed is assumed to have additive gain variations. Based on multiple-Lyapunov function technique, the design of non-fragile hybrid guaranteed cost controllers is derived to make the corresponding closed-loop system asymptotically stable for all admissible uncertainties. Furthermore, a convex optimization approach with LMIs constraints is introduced to select the optimal non-fragile guaranteed cost controllers. Finally, a simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Non-fragile state feedback H-infinity control for discrete-time systems with quantized signals

This paper presents a study on the problem of non-fragile state feedback H-infinity controller design for linear discrete-time systems with quantized signals. The quantizers considered here are dynamic and time-varying. With the consideration of controller gain variations and quantized signals at the same time, a new non-fragile H-infinity control strategy is proposed with updating quantizer＇s parameters, such that the quantized closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and with a prescribed H-infinity performance bound. An example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Non-fragile delay-dependent H_∞ control of linear time-delay system with uncertainties in state and control input

The problem of designing a non-fragile delay-dependent H∞ state-feedback controller was investigated for a linear time-delay system with uncertainties in state and control input. First, a recently derived integral inequality method and Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory were used to derive new delay-dependent bounded real lemmas for a non-fragile state-feedback controller containing additive or multiplicative uncertainties. They ensure that the closed-loop system is internally stable and has a given H∞ disturbance attenuation level. Then, methods of designing a non-fragile H∞ state feedback controller were presented. No parameters need to be tuned and can be easily determined by solving linear matrix inequalities. Finally, the validity of the proposed methods was demonstrated by a numerical example with the asymptotically stable curves of system state and controller output under the initial condition of x(0)=1 0 -1]T and h=0.8 time-delay boundary.

Optimal non-fragile controller realization algorithm and application to control problems

To reduce the fragility encountered in controller implementation, which is a measure of extent to describe small perturbations in controller parameters caused by rounding-off errors or component tolerances, and keep the system stability and performance, approaches of weighted eigenvalue sensitivity and stability radii comparison were used for computation and reduction of controller fragility. An algorithm has been derived for the efficient reduction of controller fragility, which used eigenstructure decomposition to obtain the suboptimal solution. The algorithm was tested for different control problems through reducing their fragility by a large margin. Different canonical forms were analyzed for fragility, including controllable canonical form, observable canonical form, modal canonical form, balanced realization and optimal (non-fragile) form. Different realizations were implemented through C language Matlab EXecutable (CMEX) S-function discrete state space block. Double precision calculations were performed. Open and closed loop controller realizations were compared with simulink state space (optimal) block. Results of comparison indicate that the optimal non-fragile controller realization shows better results both in open loop and closed loop realization.

Non-fragile decentralized H_∞ controller design for uncertain linear systems

Considering the design problem of non-fragile decentralized H∞ controller with gain variations, the dynamic feedback controller by measurement feedback for uncertain linear systems is constructed and studied. The parameter uncertainties are considered to be unknown but norm bounded. The design procedures are investigated in terms of positive definite solutions to modify algebraic Riccati inequalities. Using information exchange among local controllers, the designed non-fragile decentralized H∞ controllers guarantee that the uncertain closed-loop linear systems are stable and with H∞ -norm bound on disturbance attenuation. A sufficient condition that there are such non-fragile H∞ controllers is obtained by algebraic Riccati inequalities. The approaches to solve modified algebraic Riccati inequalities are carried out preliminarily. Finally, a numerical example to show the validity of the proposed approach is given.

Robust non-fragile control for discrete-delay nonlinear large-scale systems

Time-delays,due to the information transmission between subsystems,naturally exist in large-scale systems and the existence of the delay is frequently a source of instability. This paper considers the problems of robust non-fragile fuzzy control for a class of uncertain discrete nonlinear large-scale systems with time-delay and controller gain perturbations described by T-S fuzzy model. An equivalent T-S fuzzy model is represented for discrete-delay nonlinear large-scale systems. A sufficient condition for the existence of such non-fragile controllers is further derived via the Lyapunov function and the linear matrix inequality( LMI) approach. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed design and the proper stabilization of the system in spite of controller gain variations and uncertainties.

Robust Iterative Learning Controller for the Non-zero Initial Error Problem on Robot Manipulator

Industrial robot system is a kind of dynamic system w ith strong nonlinear coupling and high position precision. A lot of control ways , such as nonlinear feedbackdecomposition motion and adaptive control and so o n, have been used to control this kind of system, but there are some deficiencie s in those methods: some need accurate and some need complicated operation and e tc. In recent years, in need of controlling the industrial robots, aiming at com pletely tracking the ideal input for the controlled subject with repetitive character, a new research area, ILC (iterative learning control), has been devel oped in the control technology and theory. The iterative learning control method can make the controlled subject operate as desired in a definite time span, merely making use of the prior control experie nce of the system and searching for the desired control signal according to the practical and desired output signal. The process of searching is equal to that o f learning, during which we only need to measure the output signal to amend the control signal, not like the adaptive control strategy, which on line assesses t he complex parameters of the system. Besides, since the iterative learning contr ol relies little on the prior message of the subject, it has been well used in a lot of areas, especially the dynamic systems with strong non-linear coupling a nd high repetitive position precision and the control system with batch producti on. Since robot manipulator has the above-mentioned character, ILC can be very well used in robot manipulator. In the ILC, since the operation always begins with a certain initial state, init ial condition has been required in almost all convergence verification. Therefor e, in designing the controller, the initial state has to be restricted with some condition to guarantee the convergence of the algorithm. The settle of initial condition problem has long been pursued in the ILC. There are commonly two kinds of initial condition problems: one is zero initial error problem, another is non-zero initial error problem. In practice, the repe titive operation will invariably produce excursion of the iterative initial stat e from the desired initial state. As a result, the research on the second in itial problem has more practical meaning. In this paper, for the non-zero initial error problem, one novel robust ILC alg orithms, respectively combining PD type iterative learning control algorithm wit h the robust feedback control algorithm, has been presented. This novel robust ILC algorithm contain two parts: feedforward ILC algorithm and robust feedback algorithm, which can be used to restrain disturbance from param eter variation, mechanical nonlinearities and unmodeled dynamics and to achieve good performance as well. The feedforward ILC algorithm can be used to improve the tracking error and perf ormance of the system through iteratively learning from the previous operation, thus performing the tracking task very fast. The robust feedback algorithm could mainly be applied to make the real output of the system not deviate too much fr om the desired tracking trajectory, and guarantee the system’s robustness w hen there are exterior noises and variations of the system parameter. In this paper, in order to analyze the convergence of the algorithm, Lyapunov st ability theory has been used through properly selecting the Lyapunov function. T he result of the verification shows the feasibility of the novel robust iterativ e learning control in theory. Finally, aiming at the two-freedom rate robot, simulation has been made with th e MATLAB software. Furthermore, two groups of parameters are selected to validat e the robustness of the algorithm.

Dental treatment of twin monozygotic brothers with Fragile X syndrome

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the main cause of inherited mental retardation and is the result of transcriptional silencing of the fragile X mental retardation gene FMR1. An absence of the associated protein FMRP leads to the deregulation of many genes, which results in phenotypes of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anxiety, epilepsy and autism. The aim of this article is to report the clinical case of twin siblings affected by FXS and to describe the procedures for dental treatment with intravenous sedation. Information regarding the characteristic manifestations of FXS not only aided in the handling of the patients but also enabled us to develop clinical programs to promote and maintain oral health using individualized and specific dental procedures.

Multiple failure function based fragility curves for structures equipped with TMD

This paper presents a procedure to develop fragility curves of structures equipped with TMD considering multiple failure functions.The failure criteria considered are maximum inter-story drift ratio as a safety criterion,maximum absolute acceleration as a convenience criterion and TMD stroke length.The relationship between intensity measure and responses of the structure was assumed to follow the power-law model,and a regression analysis was used to estimate its properties.A nonlinear eight-story shear building subjected to near-fault earthquakes was used for the numerical studies.Fragility curves using multiple and single failure functions for an uncontrolled structure and a structure equipped with optimal TMDs were developed.Numerical analysis showed that using multiple failure functions led to increasing the fragility when compared with using the single failure function for both the uncontrolled and controlled structures.However,TMDs slightly reduced the seismic fragility and have the capability to improve the reliability of the structure.Also,it was found that the fragility was significantly influenced by the values of the capacity thresholds of both the acceleration of the structure and TMD stroke length,which should be selected by considering the target performance and application of the structure and control device.

Non-fragile switching tracking control for a flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle based on polytopic LPV model

This article proposes a linear parameter varying （LPV） switching tracking control scheme for a flexible air-breathing hypersonic vehicle （FAHV）. First, a polytopic LPV model is constructed to represent the complex nonlinear longitudinal model of the FAHV by using Jacobian linearization and tensor-product （T-P） model transformation approach. Second, for less conservative controller design purpose, the flight envelope is divided into four sub-regions and a non-fragile LPV controller is designed for each parameter sub-region. These non-fragile LPV controllers are then switched in order to guarantee the closed-loop FAHV system to be asymptotically stable and satisfy a specified performance criterion. The desired non-fragile LPV switching controller is found by solving a convex constraint problem which can be efficiently solved using available linear matrix inequality （LMI） techniques, and robust stability analysis of the closed-loop FAHV system is verified based on multiple Lypapunov functions （MLFs）. Finally, numerical simulations have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
