This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the theory of system representations. The systems that are considered are linear, time-invariant, deterministic and finite dimensional. The observation that some representations are more suitable for handling a particular problem than others motivates the study of rep resentations. In modeling a system, a representation often arises naturally from certain laws that underlie the system. In its most general form the representation then consists of dynamical equations for the system compo nents and of constraint equations reflecting the connection between these components. Depending on the particular problem that is to be inves tigated, it will sometimes be useful to rewrite the equations, that is, to transform the representation. For this reason it is of special importance to derive transformations that enable one to switch from one representation to another. A new approach of the past decade has been the so-called "behavioral ap proach" introduced by Willems. One of the main features of the behavioral approach is that it is well suited for modeling the interconnection of sys tems. It is for this reason that the behavioral approach is a natural choice in the context of modeling. In this book we adopt the behavioral approach: we define a system as a "behavior" , that is, a set of trajectories whose math ematical representation by means of differential or difference equations is nonunique. An aspect of this approach that is important in the context of representation theory is the fact that a natural type of equivalence arises.

This book was released on 2000-08-16 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few decades have witnessed an increasing interest in the field of multidimensional systems theory. This is concerned with systems whose trajectories depend not on one single variable (usually interpreted as time or frequency), but on several independent variables, such as the coordinates of an image. The behavioural approach introduced by J. C. Willems provides a particularly suitable framework for developing a linear systems theory in several variables. The book deals with the classical concepts of autonomy, controllability, observability, and stabilizability. All the tests and criteria given are constructive in the sense that algorithmic versions may be implemented in modern computer algebra systems, using Gröbner basis techniques. There is a close connection between multidimensional systems theory and robust control of one-dimensional systems with several uncertain parameters. The central link consists in the basic tool of linear fractional transformations. The book concludes with examples from the theory of electrical networks.

Download or read book Feedback Nonlinear and Distributed Circuits written by Wai-Kai Chen and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon its initial publication, the Handbook of Circuits and Filters broke new ground. It quickly became the resource for comprehensive coverage of issues and practical information that can be put to immediate use. Not content to rest on his laurels, editor Wai-kai Chen divided the second edition into volumes, making the information easily accessible and digestible. In the third edition, these volumes have been revised, updated, and expanded so that they continue to provide solid coverage of standard practices and enlightened perspectives on new and emerging techniques. Feedback, Nonlinear, and Distributed Circuits draws together international contributors who discuss feedback amplifier theory and then move on to explore feedback amplifier configurations. They develop Bode’s feedback theory as an example of general feedback theory. The coverage then moves on to the importance of complementing numerical analysis with qualitative analysis to get a global picture of a circuit’s performance. After reviewing a wide range of approximation techniques and circuit design styles for discreet and monolithic circuits, the book presents a comprehensive description of the use of piecewise-linear methods in modeling, analysis, and structural properties of nonlinear circuits highlighting the advantages. It describes the circuit modeling in the frequency domain of uniform MTL based on the Telegrapher’s equations and covers frequency and time domain experimental characterization techniques for uniform and nonuniform multiconductor structures. This volume will undoubtedly take its place as the engineer's first choice in looking for solutions to problems encountered in the analysis and behavior predictions of circuits and filters.

Download or read book H infinity Control for Nonlinear Descriptor Systems written by He-Sheng Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-18 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors present a study of the H-infinity control problem and related topics for descriptor systems, described by a set of nonlinear differential-algebraic equations. They derive necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a controller solving the standard nonlinear H-infinity control problem considering both state and output feedback. One such condition for the output feedback control problem to be solvable is obtained in terms of Hamilton–Jacobi inequalities and a weak coupling condition; a parameterization of output feedback controllers solving the problem is also provided. All of these results are then specialized to the linear case. The derivation of state-space formulae for all controllers solving the standard H-infinity control problem for descriptor systems is proposed. Among other important topics covered are balanced realization, reduced-order controller design and mixed H2/H-infinity control. "H-infinity Control for Nonlinear Descriptor Systems" provides a comprehensive introduction and easy access to advanced topics.

Download or read book Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization written by Cornelius T. Leondes and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-05-11 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are various techniques to optimize either structural parameters, or structural controllers, but there are not many techniques that can simultaneously optimize the structural parameters and controller. The advantage of integrating the structural and controller optimization problems is that structure and controller interaction is taken into account in the design process and a more efficient overall design (lower control force/lighter weight) can be achieved, and also multidisciplinary design optimization can be performed. The down side is that the combined optimization problem is more difficult to formulate and solve, and computations are increased. This volume is a comprehensive treatment of dynamic analysis and control techniques in structural dynamic systems and the wide variety of issues and techniques that fall within this broad area, including the interactions between structural control systems and structural system parameters.

Download or read book Max Plus Methods for Nonlinear Control and Estimation written by William M. McEneaney and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central focus of this book is the control of continuous-time/continuous-space nonlinear systems. Using new techniques that employ the max-plus algebra, the author addresses several classes of nonlinear control problems, including nonlinear optimal control problems and nonlinear robust/H-infinity control and estimation problems. Several numerical techniques are employed, including a max-plus eigenvector approach and an approach that avoids the curse-of-dimensionality. The max-plus-based methods examined in this work belong to an entirely new class of numerical methods for the solution of nonlinear control problems and their associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) PDEs; these methods are not equivalent to either of the more commonly used finite element or characteristic approaches. Max-Plus Methods for Nonlinear Control and Estimation will be of interest to applied mathematicians, engineers, and graduate students interested in the control of nonlinear systems through the implementation of recently developed numerical methods.
