This article presents parameter estimation of continuous-time polytopic models for a linear parameter varying (LPV) system. The prediction error method of linear time invariant (LTI) models is modi ed for polytopic models. The modi ed prediction error method is applied to an LPV aircraft system whose varying parameter is the ight velocity and model parameters are the stability and control deriv...

In this paper we investigate event-triggered controllers for dynamic output feedback control of Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems. We propose a systematic methodology for designing implicitly verified event-triggered dynamic output feedback controllers for LTI systems that are observable and controllable. Event-triggering conditions for sampled-data implementation of the observer and the cont...

This research explores the role and representation of network structure for LTI Systems. We demonstrate that transfer functions contain no structural information without more assumptions being made about the system, assumptions that we believe are unreasonable when dealing with truly complex systems. We then introduce Dynamical Structure Functions as an alternative, graphical-model based repres...

The compensation of LTI systems and the evaluation of the according uncertainty is of growing interest in metrology. Uncertainty evaluation in metrology ought to follow specific guidelines, and recently two corresponding uncertainty evaluation schemes have been proposed for FIR and IIR filtering. We employ these schemes to compare an FIR and an IIR approach for compensating a second-order LTI s...

This paper proposes a robust control strategy for uncertain LTI systems. The strategy is based on an uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE). It brings similar performance as the time-delay control (TDC). The advantages over TDC are: (i) no delay is introduced into the system; (ii) there are no oscillations in the control signal; and (iii) there is no need of measuring the derivatives of th...

This paper proposes a new lattice filter structure that has the following properties. When the filter is Linear Time Invariant (LTI), it is equivalent to the celebrated Gray Markel Lattice. When the lattice parameters vary with time it sustains arbitrary rate of time variations without sacrificing a prescribed degree of stability, provided that the lattice coefficients are magnitude bounded in ...

Robust stabilization of continuous time single-input single-output (SISO) linear time invariant (LTI) systems with multiplicative uncertainties is considered in this paper. In particular, it has been shown that all gains that robustly stabilize a given uncertain SISO LTI system can be found by utilizing a generalization of the Nyquist theorem. The method proposed involves calculation of roots o...

Bounded-input bounded-output stability conditions for fractional-order linear time-invariant (LTI) system with multiple noncommensurate orders have been established in this paper. The orders become noncommensurate orders when they do not have a common divisor. Sufficient and necessary conditions of stability for this kind of fractional-order LTI system with multiple noncommensurate orders. Base...
