Observer-based dynamic event-triggered control for distributed parameter systems over mobile sensor-plus-actuator networks

We develop a policy of observer-based dynamic event-triggered state feedback control for distributed parameter systems over a mobile sensor-plus-actuator network.It is assumed that the mobile sensing devices that provide spatially averaged state measurements can be used to improve state estimation in the network.For the purpose of decreasing the update frequency of controller and unnecessary sampled data transmission, an efficient dynamic event-triggered control policy is constructed.In an event-triggered system, when an error signal exceeds a specified time-varying threshold, it indicates the occurrence of a typical event.The global asymptotic stability of the event-triggered closed-loop system and the boundedness of the minimum inter-event time can be guaranteed.Based on the linear quadratic optimal regulator, the actuator selects the optimal displacement only when an event occurs.A simulation example is finally used to verify that the effectiveness of such a control strategy can enhance the system performance.

Cyber-Physical Systems as General Distributed Parameter Systems:Three Types of Fractional Order Models and Emerging Research Opportunities

Cyber-physical systems(CPSs) are man-made complex systems coupled with natural processes that, as a whole,should be described by distributed parameter systems(DPSs) in general forms. This paper presents three such general models for generalized DPSs that can be used to characterize complex CPSs. These three different types of fractional operators based DPS models are: fractional Laplacian operator, fractional power of operator or fractional derivative. This research investigation is motivated by many fractional order models describing natural, physical, and anomalous phenomena, such as sub-diffusion process or super-diffusion process. The relationships among these three different operators are explored and explained. Several potential future research opportunities are then articulated followed by some conclusions and remarks.

Improved control for distributed parameter systems with time-dependent spatial domains utilizing mobile sensor-actuator networks

A guidance policy for controller performance enhancement utilizing mobile sensor-actuator networks （MSANs） is proposed for a class of distributed parameter systems （DPSs）, which are governed by diffusion partial differential equations （PDEs） with time-dependent spatial domains. Several sufficient conditions for controller performance enhancement are presented. First, the infinite dimensional operator theory is used to derive an abstract evolution equation of the systems under some rational assumptions on the operators, and a static output feedback controller is designed to control the spatial process. Then, based on Lyapunov stability arguments, guidance policies for collocated and non-collocated MSANs are provided to enhance the performance of the proposed controller, which show that the time-dependent characteristic of the spatial domains can significantly affect the design of the mobile scheme. Finally, a simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed policy.

Optimal switching policy for performance enhancement of distributed parameter systems based on event-driven control

This paper aims to improve the performance of a class of distributed parameter systems for the optimal switching of actuators and controllers based on event-driven control. It is assumed that in the available multiple actuators, only one actuator can receive the control signal and be activated over an unfixed time interval, and the other actuators keep dormant. After incorporating a state observer into the event generator, the event-driven control loop and the minimum inter-event time are ultimately bounded. Based on the event-driven state feedback control, the time intervals of unfixed length can be obtained. The optimal switching policy is based on finite horizon linear quadratic optimal control at the beginning of each time subinterval. A simulation example demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed policy.

Adaptive neural networks control for uncertain parabolic distributed parameter systems with nonlinear periodic time-varying parameter

This paper studies the problem of adaptive neural networks control(ANNC) for uncertain parabolic distributed parameter systems(DPSs) with nonlinear periodic time-varying parameter(NPTVP). Firstly, the uncertain nonlinear dynamic and unknown periodic TVP are represented by using neural networks(NNs) and Fourier series expansion(FSE), respectively. Secondly, based on the ANNC and reparameterization approaches, two control algorithms are designed to make the uncertain parabolic DPSs with NPTVP asymptotically stable. The sufficient conditions of the asymptotically stable for the resulting closed-loop systems are also derived. Finally, a simulation is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the two control algorithms designed in this work.

THE STUDY ON A KIND OF CONTROL SYSTEM WITH NONLINEAR PARABOLIC DISTRIBUTED PARAMETERS

The modelling of one kind of nonlinear parabolic distributed parameter control system with moving boundary, which had extensive applications was presented, Two methods were used to investigate the basic characteristics of the system: I) transforming the system it? the variable domain into that in the fixed domain; 2) transforming the distributed parameter system into the lumped parameter system. It is found that there are two critical values for the control variable : the larger one determines whether or not the boundary would move, while the smaller one determines whether or not the boundary, would atop automatically. For one-dimensional system of planar, cylindrical and spherical cases the definite solution problem can be expressed as a unified form. By means of the computer simulation the open-loop control system and close-cycle feedback control system have been investigated. Numerical results agree well with theoretical results. The computer simulation shows that the system is well posed, stable, measurable and controllable.

Control synthesis of linear distributed parameter switched systems

The control synthesis for switched systems is extended to distributed parameter switched systems in Hilbert space. Based on semigroup and operator theory, by means of multiple Lyapunov method incorporated average dwell time approach, sufficient con- ditions are derived in terms of linear operator inequalities frame- work for distributed parameter switched systems. Being applied to one dimensional heat propagation switched systems, these lin- ear operator inequalities are reduced to linear matrix inequalities subsequently. In particular, the state feedback gain matrices and the switching law are designed, and the state decay estimate is explicitly given whose decay coefficient completely depends on the system＇s parameter and the boundary condition. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.

Backstepping-Based Distributed Abnormality Detection for Nolinear Parabolic Distributed Prameter Systems

In this paper, we proposed a model-based abnormality detection scheme for a class of nonlinear parabolic distributed parameter systems (DPSs). The proposed methodology consists of the design of an observer and an abnormality detection filter (ADF) based on the backstepping technique and a limited number of in-domain measurements plus one boundary measurement. By taking the difference between the measured and estimated outputs from observer, a residual signal is generated for fault detection. For the detection purpose, the residual is evaluated in a lumped manner and we propose an explicit expression for the time-varying threshold. The convergence properties of the PDE observer and the residual are analyzed by Lyapunov stability theory. Eventually, the proposed abnormality detection scheme is demonstrated on a nonlinear DPS.
