Controllability with Unilateral Control Inputs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many control systems contain control inputs which are constrained to be non–negative. Unfortunately, the unilateral nature of such inputs makes them similar to a drift term, and correspondingly complicates any attempt to determine controllability. We present a controllability test in which Lie brackets are characterized as “good” or “bad,” from which controllability follows from the relationship between these “good” and “bad” brackets. This test is relatively straightforward to apply and its application is illustrated with an example.

Controllability transition and nonlocality in network control.
A common goal in the control of a large network is to minimize the number of driver nodes or control inputs. Yet, the physical determination of control signals and the properties of the resulting control trajectories remain widely underexplored. Here we show that (i) numerical control fails in practice even for linear systems if the controllability Gramian is ill conditioned, which occurs frequ...
متن کاملControllability analysis of multi-agent systems with directed and weighted interconnection
In this article, we investigate the controllability of multi-agent systems with leaders as control inputs, where the interconnection is directed and weighted. We employ weight-balanced partition to classify the interconnection graphs, and study the controllable subspaces with given nontrivial weight-balanced partition. We also provide two necessary and sufficient graph conditions on structural ...
متن کاملOn Computing Control Inputs to Achieve State Transition for a Class of Nearly Controllable Discrete-Time Bilinear Systems
Near-controllability is defined for those systems that are uncontrollable but have a large controllable region. It is a property of nonlinear control systems introduced recently, and it has been well demonstrated on discrete-time bilinear systems. The purpose of this paper is to propose a useful algorithm to compute the control inputs, which achieve the transition of a given pair of states, for...
متن کاملControllability of a planar body with unilateral thrusters
This note investigates the minimal number of unilateral thrusters required for diierent versions of nonlinear controllability of a planar rigid body. For one to three unilateral thrusters, we get a new property with each additional thruster: one thruster yields small-time accessibility on the body's state space TSE(2); two thrusters yield global controllability on TSE(2); and three thrusters yi...
متن کاملLow-Order Controllability and Kinematic Reductions for Affine Connection Control Systems
Controllability and kinematic modelling notions are investigated for a class of mechanical control systems. First, low-order controllability results are given for the class of mechanical control systems. Second, a precise connection is made between those mechanical systems which are dynamic (i.e., have forces as inputs) and those which are kinematic (i.e., have velocities as inputs). Interestin...
