Parameter Estimation of Polytopic Models for a Linear Parameter Varying Aircraft System

Development of Linear Parameter Varying Models for Aircraft

This paper presents a comparative study of three Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) modeling approaches and their application to the longitudinal motion of a Boeing 747 series 100/200. The three approaches used to obtain the quasi-LPV models are Jacobian linearisation, state transformation, and function substitution. Development of linear parameter varying models are a key step in applying LPV cont...

System Identification of Linear Parameter Varying State-space Models

This chapter examines the estimation of multivariable linear models for which the parameters vary in a time-varying manner that depends in an affine fashion on a known or otherwise measured signal. These locally linear models which depend on a measurable operating point are known as linear parameter varying (LPV) models. The contribution here relative to previous work on the topic is that in th...

Polytopic Decomposition of Linear Parameter-Varying Models by Tensor-Product Model Transformation

A Parameter-Dependent Performance Criterion for Linear Parameter-Varying Systems

Existing control theory for linear parameter-varying systems uses a uniform-in-the-parameters upper bound (a constant scalar) on the induced-L 2 norm. In this paper, this constant is generalized to a function of the parameters; the performance criterion generalizes to an integral quadratic constraint and implies a norm bound that depends naturally on the real-time parameter trajectory. As in ex...

A receding horizon scheme for discrete-time polytopic linear parameter varying systems in networked architectures

This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy to address regulation problems for constrained polytopic Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems subject to input and state constraints in which both plant measurements and command signals in the loop are sent through communication channels subject to time-varying delays (Networked Control System (NCS)). The results here proposed repr...
