Control of Distributed Singular Systems


Book Description

" ... the purpose of this book is to describe and analyse (and to some extent generalise) the principal results, scattered in the literature, concerning perturbation methods in optimal control for systems that are governed by deterministic or stochastic differential equations."--Preface.




Control of Distributed Singular System


Book Description

This book studies the control of instabilities explosion phenomena, and multiple solutions and bifurcation phenomena of singular distributed systems. These cocepts are motivated by applications such as the control of enzymatic reactions, control of transmission of electrical energy, and control of the formation of plasmas. Also provides discussion of open problems. Chapters are relatively self-contained, making for easy reference.













Optimal Control Problems for Partial Differential Equations on Reticulated Domains


Book Description

In the development of optimal control, the complexity of the systems to which it is applied has increased significantly, becoming an issue in scientific computing. In order to carry out model-reduction on these systems, the authors of this work have developed a method based on asymptotic analysis. Moving from abstract explanations to examples and applications with a focus on structural network problems, they aim at combining techniques of homogenization and approximation. Optimal Control Problems for Partial Differential Equations on Reticulated Domains is an excellent reference tool for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners in mathematics and areas of engineering involving reticulated domains.




Optimal Control of Nonsmooth Distributed Parameter Systems


Book Description

The book is devoted to the study of distributed control problems governed by various nonsmooth state systems. The main questions investigated include: existence of optimal pairs, first order optimality conditions, state-constrained systems, approximation and discretization, bang-bang and regularity properties for optimal control. In order to give the reader a better overview of the domain, several sections deal with topics that do not enter directly into the announced subject: boundary control, delay differential equations. In a subject still actively developing, the methods can be more important than the results and these include: adapted penalization techniques, the singular control systems approach, the variational inequality method, the Ekeland variational principle. Some prerequisites relating to convex analysis, nonlinear operators and partial differential equations are collected in the first chapter or are supplied appropriately in the text. The monograph is intended for graduate students and for researchers interested in this area of mathematics.










Analysis and Synthesis of Singular Systems


Book Description

Analysis and Synthesis of Singular Systems provides a base for further theoretical research and a design guide for engineering applications of singular systems. The book presents recent advances in analysis and synthesis problems, including state-feedback control, static output feedback control, filtering, dissipative control, H8 control, reliable control, sliding mode control and fuzzy control for linear singular systems and nonlinear singular systems. Less conservative and fresh novel techniques, combined with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique, the slack matrix method, and the reciprocally convex combination approach are applied to singular systems. This book will be of interest to academic researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students working in control theory and singular systems. - Discusses recent advances in analysis and synthesis problems for linear singular systems and nonlinear singular systems - Offers a base for further theoretical research as well as a design guide for engineering applications of singular systems - Presents several necessary and sufficient conditions for delay-free singular systems and some less conservative results for time-delay singular systems
