this paper proposes a new method of gain scheduling control design for a nonlinear system which is described as linear parameter varying form. a performance measure based on linear matrix inequality is introduced. to consider stability and performance measures in design process, the h∞ loop-shaping method is used to design the local controllers, which can be described as state feedback observer...

This paper proposes a model predictive control (MPC) approach for non-linear systems where the dynamics are embedded inside linear parameter-varying (LPV) representation. The MPC problem is therefore replaced by an LPV problem, without using linearization. Compared to general MPC, advantages of this that it allows tractable construction terminal set and cost, only single convex program must be ...

A parametric systems model of the ATW [Accelerator Transmutation of (Nuclear) Waste] has been used to examine key system tradeoffs and design drivers on the basis of uni t cos ts . This model has been appl ied primarily to the aqueous-slurry blanket concept for an ATW that genera tes net -e lec t r ic power f rom the fissioning of spent reactor fuel. An important goal of this s tudy is the deve...

We study a multi-agent output regulation problem, where not all agents have access to the exosystem’s dynamics. We propose a distributed controller that solves the problem for linear, heterogeneous, and uncertain agent dynamics as well as time-varying directed networks. The distributed controller consists of two parts: (1) an exosystem generator that creates a local copy of the exosystem dynami...
