Symbolic and numerical software tools for LFT-based low order uncertainty modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the main difficulties in applying modern control theories for designing robust controllers for linear uncertain plants is the lack of adequate models describing structured physical model uncertainties. We present a systematic approach for the generation of uncertainty models described by linear fractional transformations (LFTs) and report on recently developed symbolic and numerical software to assist the generation of low order LFT-based uncertainty models. The kernel of the symbolic software is a Maple library for generation and manipulation of LFT models. Additional numerical tools for order reduction of LFT models are based on MATLAB and FORTRAN implementations of numerically reliable algorithms. Three examples of uncertainty modeling of aircraft dynamics illustrate the capabilities of the new software to solve high order uncertainty modeling problems.

متن کاملOn the Numerical Formulation of Parametric Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) Uncertainty Mo for Multivariate Matrix Polynomial Problems
Robust control system analysis and design is based on an uncertainty description, called a linear fractional transformation (LFT), which separates the uncertain (or varying) part of the system from the nominal system. These models are also useful in the design of gain-scheduled control systems based on Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) methods. Low-order LFT models are difficult to form for proble...
