Enhancement of Robust Tracking Performance via Switching Supervisory Adaptive Control

When the process is highly uncertain, even linear minimum phase systems must sacrifice desirable feedback control benefits to avoid an excessive ‘cost of feedback’, while preserving the robust stability. In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the unce...

Switching control

We analyze the problem of switching controls for control systems endowed with different actuators. The goal is to control the dynamics of the system by switching from an actuator to another in a systematic way so that, at each instant of time, only one actuator is active. We first address a finite-dimensional model and show that, under suitable rank conditions, switching control strategies exis...

New Supervisory Control Using Control-relevant Switching

This paper presents a new supervisory control scheme, which is based on a control-relevant switching logic. Unlike most of the existing switching methods considering only estimator performance, the proposed scheme takes both estimator and controller performance into account. As an index to the controller performance, an iISS (integral-Input-to-State Stability) Lyapunov function is employed; it ...

Control Using Logic-Based Switching

Optimal Control for Switching Systems

The notion of switching system generalizes the idea of a `diierential equa-tion': a switching system consists of a number of modes (e.g., diierential equations) together with a set of switching rules. Such systems arise in mod-eling thermostats (and other devices involving`hysteresis'), in considering the evolution of a multimodal (variable structure) system for which`feedback control' has been...
