چکیده

In this paper, we revisit the lattice representation of continuous piecewise affine (PWA) function and give a formal proof of its representation ability. Based on this, we derive the irredundant lattice PWA representation through removal of redundant terms and literals. Necessary and sufficient conditions for irredundancy are proposed. Besides, we explain how to remove terms and literals in order to ensure irredundancy. An algorithm is given to obtain an irredundant lattice PWA representation. Both the offline and online complexity as well as the storage requirement of the irredundant lattice PWA representation are analyzed. In the worked examples, the irredundant lattice PWA representation is used to express the optimal solution of the explicit model predictive control, and the results turn out to be much more compact than those given by a state-of-the-art algorithm.

Enlarging Domain of Attraction for a Special Class of Continuous-time Quadratic Lyapunov Function Piecewise Affine Systems based on Discontinuous Piecewise

This paper presents a new approach to estimate and to enlarge the domain of attraction for a planar continuous-time piecewise affine system. Various continuous Lyapunov functions have been proposed to estimate and to enlarge the system’s domain of attraction. In the proposed method with a new vision and with the aids of a discontinuous piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function, the domain of attrac...

Discrete piecewise linear functions

The concept of permutograph is introduced and properties of integral functions on permutographs are established. The central result characterizes the class of integral functions that are representable as lattice polynomials. This result is used to establish lattice polynomial representations of piecewise linear functions on R and continuous selectors on linear orders.

Piecewise Quadratic Lyapunov Functions for Piecewise Affine Time-Delay Hybrid Systems

We investigate some particular classes of hybrid systems subject to a class of time delays; the time delays can be constant or time varying. For such systems, we present the corresponding classes of piecewise continuous Lyapunov functions.

Deciding stability and mortality of piecewise affine dynamical systems

This paper studies problems such as: given a discrete time dynamical system of the form x(t + 1) = f(x(t)) where f : R → R is a (possibly discontinuous) piecewise affine function, decide whether all trajectories converge to 0. We show in our main theorem (Theorem 2) that this Attractivity Problem is undecidable as soon as n ≥ 2. The same is true of two related problems: Stability (is the dynami...

The topological entropy of iterated piecewise affine maps is uncomputable

We show that it is impossible to compute (or even to approximate) the topological entropy of a continuous piecewise affine function in dimension four. The same result holds for saturated linear functions in unbounded dimension. We ask whether the topological entropy of a piecewise affine function is always a computable real number, and conversely whether every non-negative computable real numbe...
