Optimal Robustness of Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Discrete port-Hamiltonian systems

Either from a control theoretic viewpoint or from an analysis viewpoint it is necessary to convert smooth systems to discrete systems, which can then be implemented on computers for numerical simulations. Discrete models can be obtained either by discretizing a smooth model, or by directly modeling at the discrete level itself. One of the goals of this paper is to model port-Hamiltonian systems...

Distributed-Parameter Port-Hamiltonian Systems

Port-Hamiltonian Systems on Graphs

In this paper we present a unifying geometric and compositional framework for modeling complex physical network dynamics as portHamiltonian systems on open graphs. Basic idea is to associate with the incidence matrix of the graph a Dirac structure relating the flow and effort variables associated to the edges, internal vertices, as well as boundary vertices of the graph, and to formulate energy...

Port-Hamiltonian Systems Theory: An Introductory Overview Port-Hamiltonian Systems Theory: An Introductory Overview

An up-to-date survey of the theory of port-Hamiltonian systems is given, emphasizing novel developments and relationships with other formalisms. Port-Hamiltonian systems theory yields a systematic framework for network modeling of multi-physics systems. Examples from different areas show the range of applicability. While the emphasis is on modeling and analysis, the last part provides a brief i...

Bounded stabilisation of stochastic port-Hamiltonian systems

This paper proposes a stochastic bounded stabilization method for a class of stochastic port-Hamiltonian systems. Both full-actuated and underactuated mechanical systems in the presence of noise are considered in this class. The proposed method gives conditions for the controller gain and design parameters under which the state remains bounded in probability. The bounded region and achieving pr...
