Steady Versus Stabilizing State Constraints
نویسنده
چکیده
A new distinction between two kinds of state constraints is introduced and proved important for solving the Ramiication Problem in Reasoning about Actions. Steady constraints never, not even for an instant, cease to being in force. As such they give rise to truly instantaneous indirect eeects of actions. Stabilizing state constraints, on the other hand, may be suspended for a short period of time after an action has occurred. Indirect eeects deriving from these constraints materialize with a short causal lag. Carelessly mixing these two types of indirect eeects is shown to producing anomalous models. On the basis of the existing theory of causal relationships we illustrate how to deal with the distinction appropriately.

Reasoning About Actions: Steady Versus Stabilizing State Constraints
In formal approaches to commonsense reasoning about actions, the Ramification Problem denotes the problem of handling indirect effects which implicitly derive from so-called state constraints. We pursue a new distinction between two kinds of state constraints which will be proved crucially important for solving the general Ramification Problem. Steady constraints never, not even for an instant,...
متن کاملTwo-Sided Model Matching Problem with Preview
The H 2 optimization problem with preview and asymptotic behavior constraints is considered in a general two-sided model matching setting. The solution is obtained in terms of two constrained Sylvester equations, associated with asymptotic behavior, and stabilizing solutions of two algebraic Riccati equations. The Riccati equations do not depend on the preview length, yet are affected by asympt...
متن کاملThe Stabilizing Virtues of Fiscal vs. Monetary Policy on Endogenous Bubble Fluctuations
We explore the existence of endogenous fluctuations with a rational bubble and the stabilizing role of fiscal and monetary policies. Consumers’ credit constraints, the role of collateral and a portfolio choice are the key ingredients of our analysis. We consider an overlapping generations model where households realize a portfolio choice between three assets with different returns (capital, mon...
متن کاملPerformance of reconfiguration structures based on the constrained control
An approach is proposed for reconfigurable control structure design to obtain a system tolerant to state-variable sensor faults. The method is based on discrete-time constrained control design techniques for linear systems with state constraints, defined by linear equalities. Degradation in steady state performance is dealt with fixing that state variable which is associated with sensor fault t...
متن کاملH∞ control of discrete-time linear systems constrained in state by equality constraints
In this paper, stabilizing problems in control design are addressed for linear discrete-time systems, reflecting equality constraints tying together some state variables. Based on an enhanced representation of the bounded real lemma for discretetime systems, the existence of a state feedback control for such conditioned stabilization is proven, and an LMI-based design procedure is provided. The...
