Optimal Finite-time Control of Positive Linear Discrete-time Systems

This paper considers solving optimization problem for linear discrete time systems such that closed-loop discrete-time system is positive (i.e., all of its state variables have non-negative values) and also finite-time stable. For this purpose, by considering a quadratic cost function, an optimal controller is designed such that in addition to minimizing the cost function, the positivity proper...

Performance for Discrete-Time Switched Linear Systems

In this paper, the co-design of continuous-variable controllers and discrete-event switching logics, both in state feedback form, is investigated for a class of discrete-time switched linear control systems. It is assumed that none of the subsystems is stabilized through a continuous state feedback alone. However, it is possible to stabilize the whole switched system via carefully designing bot...

A new switching strategy for exponential stabilization of uncertain discrete-time switched linear systems in guaranteed cost control problem

Uncertain switched linear systems are known as an important class of control systems. Performance of these systems is affected by uncertainties and its stabilization is a main concern of recent studies. Existing work on stabilization of these systems only provides asymptotical stabilization via designing switching strategy and state-feedback controller. In this paper, a new switching strate...

On Flatness of Discrete-Time Nonlinear Systems

The paper addresses the problem of dynamic feedback linearization of discrete-time nonlinear control systems. Analogously to the continuous-time case, necessary and sufficient conditions for flatness property are obtained and showed to be equivalent to previously known results on feedback linearizability by endogenous dynamic feedback. An example is added to illustrate the results.
