In this paper, we extend some recent results on the stabilization of output feedback linearizable non-linear systems. We show that these systems not only cab be stabilized with a much simpler controller than previously thought, but they can also be rendered passive using the same output feedback controller. Finally, we extend these results to the problem of simultaneous stabilization of a famil...

This paper is concerned with the control of power systems. We design a control approach for a class of nonlinear systems, closely related to sliding modes but without switching. Simulations results performed on the basis of two versions of the sliding-mode controller and applied to a multi-machine model have demonstrated better performances when compared to an Hamiltonian passive controller des...

In this paper we design a passive fault tolerant controller against actuator faults for discretetime piecewise affine (PWA) systems. By using dissipativity theory and H∞ analysis, fault tolerant state feedback controller design is expressed as a set of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). In the current paper, the PWA system switches not only due to the state but also due to the control input. Th...

This paper considers the problem of robust passive control for uncertain discrete systems with time-varying delays. We pay attention to designing a state feedback controller which guarantees the passivity of the closed-loop system for all admissible uncertainties. In terms of a linear matrix inequality, a sufficient condition for the solvability of this problem is presented and the explicit exp...

The problem under study is a synthesis of position and heading control system for low frequency model of surface vessel described by 3 DOF mathematical model. The recursive vectorial backstepping control design was used to keep fixed position and heading in presence of wave disturbances. The controller has been simulated on computer model of scaled supply vessel. It has been assumed that the ac...

A nonlinear dynamic compensator framework for Hammerstein systems with passive nonlinear dynamics is proposed. For this class of systems controlled by passive nonlinear dynamic compensators we prove global closed-loop stability by modifying the dynamic compensator to include a suitable input nonlinearity. The proof of this result is based on dissipativity theory and shows that the nonlinear con...

In this paper we consider feedback passive systems, de-ned as nonlinear systems that can be rendered (strictly) passive by means of state feedback. For feedback passive systems in a parametric normal form, we present an adaptive controller that eeectively \passiies" the system. The proposed control uses techniques of Speed-Gradient (S-G) methodology from the Russian literature. Stability result...

For a class of square continuous-time nonlinear controllers we design a suitable resetting rule inspired by the resetting rule for Clegg integrators and First Order Reset Elements (FORE).With this rule,we prove that the arising hybrid system with temporal regularization is passive in the conventional continuous-time sensewith a small shortage of input passivity decreasingwith the temporal regul...

In this paper, two different control methods, namely sliding mode control and passive control, are investigated for the synchronization of two identical chaotic finance systems with different initial conditions. Based on the sliding mode control theory, a sliding surface is determined. A Lyapunov function is used to prove that the passive controller provides global asymptotic stability of the s...
