In this paper, we propose a robustness measure for LTI systems with causal, nonlinear diagonal perturbations with finite L2-gain. We propose an algorithm to reliably compute this quantity. We show how to find a state-feedback controller that achieves the global maximum of the robustness measure.

This paper deal with the pole location of a perturbed matrix A + B. Sufficient conditions are derived for the eigenvalues of A + B to located within a vertical strip in the complex plane. It is assumed that only the spectral norm of the perturbations E is given. Numerical example is presented for illustration.

Many practical applications of control system design based on input-output measurements permit the repeated application of a system identification procedure operating on closed loop data together with successive refinement of the designed controller. Recently several iterative schemes for mutually enhanced plant identification and robust control design have been proposed [l]-[3]. In this paper we shall analyze the methodology of [1] from the viewpoint of closed loop signal conditioning and investigate the effect of the noise modelling error and plant modelling error on the closed loop performance.

In this paper we derive a new adaptive corrective control law for a class of flexible joint robot manipulators with configuration-invariant inertia matrices. The control law consists of a fast controller to damp the elastic oscillations of the joints and a slow (corrective) controller designed based on the theory of integral manifolds for singularly perturbed nonlinear systems. We derive the first parameter update law that takes into consideration joint flexibility. We present detailed stability analysis using the composite Lyapunov function method.

For transient stability of a synchromous machine connected to an infinite bus, a new controller is introduced. The control is continuous, guarantees global exponential stability, and robust with respect to possible variations of system parameters. The design procedure is based on a straightforward application of Lyapunov's direct method. Neither local linearization nor feedback linearization is required. The design procedure as well as the resulting controller can be easily extended to a multimachine power system. Digital simulation is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control.

Estimating the time-varying parameter ¿ko, of linear model yk = ¿kr¿ko + vk is attracting many experts attension in the field of system identification and adaptive control. Guo[1990] established the convergence and stability properties of Kalman filter based parameter estimator for the model. Chen [1990] proved the consistency of LMS-type algorithm for estimating the parameter ¿ko. However, there is still no result on the properties of LS- type estimator for the model. In this paper, we propose the concept of generalized consistency of algorithms for estimating time-varying parameter, thus construct a kind of least-square(LS) algorithm which has the property of generalized consistency under the condition of "conditional richness".

This paper presents the dynamic modeling and the control strategy of an interesting three degrees-of-freedom (DOF) variable-reluctance (VR) spherical motor which offers some attractive features by combining pitch, roll, and yaw motion in a single joint. Both the forward dynamics which determine the motion as a result of activating the electromagnetic coils and the inverse model which determine the coil excitations required to generate the desired torque are derived. The model represents the first detailed study on the inverse dynamic, and yet, permits a spectrum of design configurations to be analyzed. The solution to the forward dynamics of the spherical motor is unique but the inverse model may have multiple solutions and therefore an optimal choice is required. The control strategy of a VR spherical motor consists of two puts; namely, the control of the rotor dynamic in terms of the actuating torque, and the determination of the optimal inputs for the required torque. An optimal choice is determined from an unconstrained optimization problem. The implementation issues in determining the optimal control input vector in real-time are also addressed.

A multiple plant model formulation with a quadratic cost function has been shown to be a method for synthesizing stabilizing feedback controllers based on Kharitonov's theorem. An algorithm which solves the multiple plant model quadratic cost function problem is presented in this paper. The algorithm starts with a different full state feedback gain for each model then attempts to converge each gain to the fixed Kharitonov feedback gain. The Kharitonov feedback gain can have an output feedback or decentralized output feedback structure. An extension of the algorithm to synthesizing optimal gain scheduled control laws over a regime of plant models for centralized and decentralized output feedback is also presented.

This paper deals with the design of robust digital controllers for gun-turret systems which exhibit large parameter and high frequency unmodeled uncertainties. A method based on quadratic stability criteria is developed to search control laws which achieve possible maximum tolerance for system uncertainties while remaining high degree of tracking and reulating precision. Simulated results are shown and the superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated.
