Port-Hamiltonian Systems on Graphs

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...

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...

Port-Hamiltonian systems on discrete manifolds

This paper offers a geometric framework for modeling port-Hamiltonian systems on discrete manifolds. The simplicial Dirac structure, capturing the topological laws of the system, is defined in terms of primal and dual cochains related by the coboundary operators. This finitedimensional Dirac structure, as discrete analogue of the canonical Stokes-Dirac structure, allows for the formulation of f...

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...
