The nonlinear behavior analysis and chaos control for Duffing-Holmes chaotic system is discussed in the paper. In order to suppress the irregular chaotic motion, an optimal backstepping controller is designed. The backstepping method consists of parameters with positive values. The improper selection of the parameters leads to inappropriate responses or even may lead to instability of the syste...

We present a time and energy optimal controller for a two-wheeled differentially driven robot. We call a mission the task of bringing the robot from an initial state to a desired final state (a state is the aggregate vector of the position and velocity vectors). The proposed controller is time optimal in the sense that it can determine the minimum amount of time required to perform a mission. T...

This paper is concerned with the mixed H2/H∞ control problem. The purpose of this paper is to give an iterative algorithm for finding a sub-optimal static state feedback controller for the mixed H2/H∞ control problem. The key idea of our algorithm is to construct two “controller sets”: one is a set of controllers that improve the H2 norm of the closed loop map for a given controller and the oth...

Using the dual Youla parametrizations of controllerbased coprime factor plant perturbations and plant-based coprime factor controller perturbations, we study the LQG plant-controller continuity question. Indeed, we show that it is possible to calculate a new optimal LQG controller from a previous one when the plant is slightly changed, and to quantify the change in the controller as a function ...

This paper develops a controller synthesis method for distributed LQG control problems under output-feedback. We consider a system consisting of three interconnected linear subsystems with a delayed information sharing structure. While the state-feedback case has previously been solved, the extension to output-feedback is nontrivial as the classical separation principle fails. To find the optim...

Solution to the linear quadratic control problem is given in the class of linear dynamic output-feedback full order controllers. Necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of such an optimal controller are stated in terms of linear matrix inequalities provided that initial conditions for controller states to be zero. It is shown that parameters of the optimal controller depend on an init...
