Nonlinear symbolic LFT tools for modelling, analysis and design

چکیده
In this chapter, a general nonlinear symbolic LFT modelling framework and its support LFT tools are presented. The modelling approach developed combines the natural modularity and clarity of presentation from LFT modelling with the ease of manipulation from symbolic algebra. It results in an exact nonlinear symbolic LFT that represents an ideal starting point to apply subsequent assumptions and simplifications to finally transform the model into an approximated symbolic LFT ready for design and analysis. The development of the framework is supported by a novel algebraic algorithm for symbolic matrix decomposition and two new LFT operations: nested substitution and symbolic differentiation.

Exact Nonlinear Modelling Using Symbolic Linear Fractional Transformations
In this paper, a nonlinear modelling framework is presented that combines symbolic modelling and linear fractional transformation (LFT) techniques to obtain a nonlinear symbolic LFT representation. This modelling approach presents three clear advantages: (i) it provides a unifying framework for the different models that stem from the same nonlinear system, (ii) it allows for a highly structured...

متن کاملBeyond Simulation: Computer Aided Control System Design Using Equation-Based Object Oriented Modelling for the Next Decade
After 20 years since their birth, equation-oriented and object-oriented modelling techniques and tools are now mature, as far as solving simulation problems is concerned. Conversely, there is still much to be done in order to provide more direct support for the design of advanced, modelbased control systems, starting from object-oriented plant models. Following a brief review of the current sta...
