This book offers a comprehensive treatment of the theory of periodic systems, including the problems of filtering and control. It covers an array of topics, presenting an overview of the field and focusing on discrete-time signals and systems.
Control systems design methodologies have long suffered the traditional and myopic dichotomy between time and frequency domain approaches, each of them being specialized to cope with only scarcely overlapping performance requirements. This book is aimed at bridging the two approaches by presenting design methodologies based on the minimization of a norm (H2/H() of a suitable transfer function. A distinctive feature of these techniques is the fact that they do not create only one solution to the design problem, instead they provide a whole set of admissible solutions which satisfy a constraint on the maximum deterioration of the performance index. A systematic book on this topic is long overdue. Self-contained and practical in its approach, Control Theory and Design enables the reader to use the relevant techniques in various real-life applications. The text covers the basic facts of robustcontrol and theory as well as more recent achievements, such as robust stability and robust performance in presence of parameter uncertainties. It features a new perspective on classical LQC results and further sections on robust synthesis, nonclassicaloptimization problems, and analysis and synthesis of uncertain systems. Control Theory and Design is essential reading for graduates and those entering the research field. The required mathematical background is provided so that the book is also suitable for undergraduate students with some knowledge of basic systemsand control. Provides a self-contained manual for learning control systems and design Contains a clear and concise presentation of the technical background needed Includes a new perspective of classical LQG results Contains updated results and novel contributions to nonstandard RH2/RH infinity symbol problems Covers all the theory from the basic to the more advanced issues
Positive systems are an important class of systems that frequently arise in application areas, such as in the chemical process industry, electronic circuit design, communication networks, and biology. The study of the stability of such systems differs from standard systems in that the analysis focuses only on the trajectories generated under positivity constraints. Switched positive systems also arise in a variety of applications. Examples can be found in TCP congestion control, in processes described by non-homogeneous Markov chains, in image processing, in biochemical networks, and so on. In comparison to general switched systems, that have received a lot of attention in the past years, the theory for positive switched systems is still in its infancy. Switched Positive Linear Systems studies the stability, performance evaluation, stabilization via switching control, and optimal control of (continuous-time and linear) positive switched systems. It provides a review of the results that have already been established in the literature. Other results, especially those related to norm computation and optimization, are new and are presented integrated with previous ones. Switched Positive Linear Systems provides a comprehensive and timely introduction to the study of such systems. Readers who are new to the topic will find everything required to understand such systems in a concise and accessible form.
This paper presents a comprehensive study of continuous-time Positive Markov Jump Linear Systems (PMJLS). A PMJLS can be seen as a dynamical system that switches within a finite set of linear time-invariant subsystems according to a stochastic switching signal modelled as a Markov chain, and describes the time-evolution of nonnegative variables under nonnegative inputs. Contrary to the well-studied general class of Markov Jump Linear Systems (MJLS), positivity endows the model with peculiar properties. The paper collects some existing results together with original developments on the stability analysis of PMJLS and the study of their input-output properties. In particular, conditions for stability of PMJLS are discussed, mainly based on Linear Programming problems. Similar computational tools are derived to analyze performance measures, such as L1, L2 and L8 costs and the respective input-output induced gains. The second part of the paper is devoted to the class of Dual switching Positive Markov Jump Linear Systems (D-PMJLS), namely PMJLS affected by an additional switching variable which can be either an unknown disturbance or a control signal available to the designer for stabilization and performance optimization. We discuss several problems, including stability, performance analysis, stabilization via switching control, and optimization. Some application examples are introduced to motivate the interest in PMJLS and D-PMJLS.
