We study pseudodifferential operators on a cylinder IR x B with cross section B that conical singularities. Configurations of that kind are the local model of cornere singularities with base spaces B. Operators A in our calculus are assumed to have symbols α which are meromorphic in the complex covariable with values in the space of all cone operators on B. In case α is dependent of the axial variable t ∈ IR, we show an explicit formula for solutions of the homogeneous equation. Each non-bjectivity point of the symbol in the complex plane corresponds to a finite-dimensional space of solutions. Moreover, we give a relative index formula.

We establish a parameter-dependent pseudo-differential calculus on an infinite cylinder, regarded as a manifold with conical exits to infinity. The parameters are involved in edge-degenerate form, and we formulate the operators in terms of operator-valued amplitude functions.

In this thesis, we extend the spectral collocation methods(SCM) (i.e., pseudo-spectral method) in Quarteroni and Valli [27] for the semilinear, parameter-dependentproblems(PDP) in the square with the Dirichlet boundary condition. The optimal error bounds are derived in this thesis for both H1 and L2 norms. For the solutions sufficiently smooth, the very high convergence rates can be obtained. The algorithms of the SCM are simple and easy to carry out. Only a few of basis functions are needed so that not only can the high accuracy of the PDP solutions be achieved, but also a great deal of CPU time may be saved. Moreover, for PDP the stability analysis of SCM is also made, to have the same growth rates of condition number as those for Poisson¡¦s equation. Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the theoretical analysis made.

The obstruction to the existence of Fredholm problems for elliptic differentail operators on manifolds with edges is a topological invariant of the operator. We give an explicit general formula for this invariant. As an application we compute this obstruction for geometric operators.

Cette thèse développe une méthodologie originale et non intrusive de construction de modèles de substitution applicable à des modèles physiques multiparamétriques.La méthodologie proposée permet d’approcher en temps réel, sur l’ensemble du domaine paramétrique, de multiples quantités d’intérêt hétérogènes issues de modèles physiques.Les modèles de substitution sont basés sur des représentations en train de tenseurs obtenues lors d'une phase hors ligne de calculs intensifs.L'idée essentielle de la phase d'apprentissage est de construire simultanément les approximations en se basant sur un nombre limité de résolutions du modèle physique lancées à la volée.L'exploration parcimonieuse du domaine paramétrique couplée au format compact de train de tenseurs permet de surmonter le fléau de la dimension.L'approche est particulièrement adaptée pour traiter des modèles présentant un nombre élevé de paramètres définis sur des domaines étendus.Les résultats numériques sur des lois élasto-viscoplastiques non linéaires montrent que des modèles de substitution compacts en mémoire qui approchent précisément les différentes variables mécaniques dépendantes du temps peuvent être obtenus à des coûts modérés.L'utilisation de tels modèles exploitables en temps réel permet la conception d'outils d'aide à la décision destinés aux experts métiers dans le cadre d'études paramétriques et visent à améliorer la procédure de calibration des lois matériaux. / This thesis presents a novel non-intrusive methodology to construct surrogate models of parametric physical models.The proposed methodology enables to approximate in real-time, over the entire parameter space, multiple heterogeneous quantities of interest derived from physical models.The surrogate models are based on tensor train representations built during an intensive offline computational stage.The fundamental idea of the learning stage is to construct simultaneously all tensor approximations based on a reduced number of solutions of the physical model obtained on the fly.The parsimonious exploration of the parameter space coupled with the compact tensor train representation allows to alleviate the curse of dimensionality.The approach accommodates particularly well to models involving many parameters defined over large domains.The numerical results on nonlinear elasto-viscoplastic laws show that compact surrogate models in terms of memory storage that accurately predict multiple time dependent mechanical variables can be obtained at a low computational cost.The real-time response provided by the surrogate model for any parameter value allows the implementation of decision-making tools that are particularly interesting for experts in the context of parametric studies and aim at improving the procedure of calibration of material laws.

Orientador: Edvaldo Assunção / Resumo: A principal contribuição dessa tese é propor a representação H2/Hoo do regulador linear quadrático (LQR) para sistemas lineares invariantes no tempo e incertos. A motivação está em atender simultaneamente a minimização da função custo garantido e dos efeitos de entradas exógenas. De início, apresenta-se uma revisão da formulação do problema LQR usando-se a função de Lyapunov quadrática e, posteriormente, sua extensão aos modelos de incertezas. Neste ponto, a literatura volta-se exclusivamente ao uso de funções de Lyapunov com uma única matriz P para testar a estabilidade de todo o domínio de incerteza politópica, que naturalmente conduz a algum conservadorismo. Em vista de reduzir o pressuposto conservadorismo explorou-se técnicas de relaxação matricial através de lemas consolidados na literatura, i.e. Lema de Finsler e Lema da Projeção Recíproca. As novas formulações de síntese robusta permitem obter condições suficientes em desigualdades matriciais lineares (LMIs) por meio de funções de Lyapunov dependentes de parâmetros, embora não considere os efeitos da perturbação no processo de síntese de controle. Logo, o estudo da rejeição à perturbações permitiu obter condições LMIs inéditas envolvendo as normas H2/Hoo . Adicionalmente, é proposto o estudo da robustez da planta em malha fechada, via descrição combinada de incertezas nas matrizes de estados e de entradas, e do controlador, aplicando técnicas de fragilidade via incertezas limitadas por norma. Por fim, propõe-se um mét...

The motivation is to achieve the minimization of guaranteed cost and the effects of exogenous inputs, simultaneously. Initially, a review of the LQR problem formulation using the quadratic Lyapunov function is presented and after, its extension to the uncertain models. At this point, the literature turns to the use of Lyapunov functions with only one matrix P to test the stability of the whole polytopic domain, which naturally leads to some conservatism. The proposed to reduce the assumption conservatism allowed to explore techniques of matrix relaxation through classic lemmas in the literature, i.e. Finsler and Reciprocal Projection lemmas. The new robust synthesis formulations allow to obtain sufficient conditions in Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) control by means of parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions; however, do not consider the perturbation effects on the control synthesis process. Thus, the study of disturbance rejection allowed to obtain new sufficient conditions via mixed H2/Hoo control. Furthermore, robustness studies of the closed-loop plant are proposed based on a mixed representation of uncertainties in the state and input matrices, and the controller robustness, by applying non-fragile theories via norm-bounded uncertainty. Finally, an LQR gain scheduling control method applied to linear time-vary... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

The purpose of this thesis is to develop new stability conditions for several linear dynamic systems, including linear parameter-varying (LPV), time-delay systems (LPVTD), slow LPV systems, and parameter-dependent linear time invariant (LTI) systems. These stability conditions are less conservative and/or computationally easier to apply than existing ones. This dissertation is composed of four parts. In the first part of this thesis, the complete stability domain for LTI parameter-dependent (LTIPD) systems is synthesized by extending existing results in the literature. This domain is calculated through a guardian map which involves the determinant of the Kronecker sum of a matrix with itself. The stability domain is synthesized for both single- and multi-parameter dependent LTI systems. The single-parameter case is easily computable, whereas the multi-parameter case is more involved. The determinant of the bialternate sum of a matrix with itself is also exploited to reduce the computational complexity. In the second part of the thesis, a class of parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions is proposed, which can be used to assess the stability properties of single-parameter LTIPD systems in a non-conservative manner. It is shown that stability of LTIPD systems is equivalent to the existence of a Lyapunov function of a polynomial type (in terms of the parameter) of known, bounded degree satisfying two matrix inequalities. The bound of polynomial degree of the Lyapunov functions is then reduced by taking advantage of the fact that the Lyapunov matrices are symmetric. If the matrix multiplying the parameter is not full rank, the polynomial order can be reduced even further. It is also shown that checking the feasibility of these matrix inequalities over a compact set can be cast as a convex optimization problem. Such Lyapunov functions and stability conditions for affine single-parameter LTIPD systems are then generalized to single-parameter polynomially-dependent LTIPD systems and affine multi-parameter LTIPD systems. The third part of the thesis provides one of the first attempts to derive computationally tractable criteria for analyzing the stability of LPV time-delayed systems. It presents both delay-independent and delay-dependent stability conditions, which are derived using appropriately selected Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. According to the system parameter dependence, these functionals can be selected to obtain increasingly non-conservative results. Gridding techniques may be used to cast these tests as Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI's). In cases when the system matrices depend affinely or quadratically on the parameter, gridding may be avoided. These LMI's can be solved efficiently using available software. A numerical example of a time-delayed system motivated by a metal removal process is used to demonstrate the theoretical results. In the last part of the thesis, topics for future investigation are proposed. Among the most interesting avenues for research in this context, it is proposed to extend the existing stability analysis results to controller synthesis, which will be based on the same Lyapunov functions used to derive the nonconservative stability conditions. While designing the dynamic ontroller for linear and parameter-dependent systems, it is desired to take the advantage of the rank deficiency of the system matrix multiplying the parameter such that the controller is of lower dimension, or rank deficient without sacrificing the performance of closed-loop systems.

Esta tesis considera un enfoque basado en Lyapunov para el análisis y control de sistemas no lineales cuyas ecuaciones dinámicas son reescritas como un modelo Takagi-Sugeno o uno polinomial convexo. Estas estructuras permiten resolver problemas de control mediante técnicas de optimización convexa, más concretamente desigualdades matriciales lineales y suma de cuadrados, que son eficientes herramientas desde un punto de vista computacional. Después de proporcionar una visión general básica del estado actual en el campo de los modelos Takagi-Sugeno, esta tesis aborda cuestiones sobre las funciones de Lyapunov por trozos, dependiente de parámetros e integral de línea, con las siguientes contribuciones: Un algoritmo mejorado para estimaciones del dominio de atracción de sistemas no lineales para sistemas de tiempo continuo. Los resultados se basan en funciones de Lyapunov por trozos, desigualdades matriciales lineales y argumentaciones geométricas; enfoques basados en conjuntos de nivel en la literatura previa se han mejorado significativamente. Una función Lyapunov generalizada dependiente de parámetros para la síntesis de controladores para sistemas Takagi-Sugeno. El enfoque propone una ley de control multi-índice que retroalimenta la derivada del tiempo de las funciones de membresía del modelo Takagi-Sugeno para anular los términos que causan localidad a priori en el análisis de Lyapunov. Una nueva función integral de Lyapunov para el análisis de estabilidad de sistemas no lineales. Estos resultados generalizan aquellos basados en funciones de Lyapunov integral de línea al marco polinomial; resulta que los requisitos de independencia del camino pueden ser anulados por una definición adecuada de una función Lyapunov con términos integrales. / This thesis considers a Lyapunov-based approach for analysis and control of nonlinear systems whose dynamical equations are rewritten as a Takagi-Sugeno model or a convex polynomial one. These structures allow solving control problems via convex optimisation techniques, more specifically linear matrix inequalities and sum-of-squares, which are efficient tools from the computational point of view. After providing a basic overview of the state of the art in the field of Takagi-Sugeno models, this thesis address issues on piecewise, parameter-dependent and line-integral Lyapunov functions, with the following contributions: An improved algorithm to estimate the domain of attraction of nonlinear systems for continuous-time systems. The results are based on piecewise Lyapunov functions, linear matrix inequalities, and geometrical argumentations; level-set approaches in prior literature are significantly improved. A generalised parameter-dependent Lyapunov function for synthesis of controllers for Takagi-Sugeno systems. The approach proposed a multi-index control law that feeds back the time derivative of the membership function of the Takagi-Sugeno model to cancel out the terms that cause a priori locality in the Lyapunov analysis. A new integral Lyapunov function for stability analysis of nonlinear systems. These results generalise those based on line-integral Lyapunov functions to the polynomial framework; it turns out path-independency requirements can be overridden by an adequate definition of a Lyapunov function with integral terms. / Aquesta tesi considera un enfocament basat en Lyapunov per a l'anàlisi i control de sistemes no lineals les equacions dinàmiques dels quals són reescrites com un model Takagi-Sugeno o un de polinomial convex.

Le problème de l'efficacité énergétique dans le domaine des transports a comme principal défi savoir comment utiliser la source d'énergie pour que l'efficacité énergétique puisse être maximisée, c'est-à-dire comment le véhicule doit être conduit de telle sorte que la quantité minimale d’énergie est utilisée. Ce problème est le principal problème considéré dans cette thèse. Le véhicule est un prototype impliqué dans la course européenne Shell Eco-Marathon. La dynamique du véhicule est d'abord obtenu par l'identification expérimentale des paramètres. Une stratégie en boucle ouverte de conduite optimale en termes de consommation électrique est calculée. Plusieurs approches ont été étudiées pour le suivi de la référence optimale (stratégie de conduite optimale). Ces approches doivent prendre en compte les ressources limitées en taille mémoire et capacité de calcul. Une commande prédictive (MPC) basée sur la dynamique linéarisée est tout d'abord synthétisée. Le problème de poursuite nécessite une MPC avec contraintes variant dans le temps. La stabilité et la convergence de la commande prédictive sont prouvées à l'aide du formalisme des ensembles invariants. En troisième partie, à partie du modèle LPV, une adaptation de techniques standards basées sur des fonctions de Lyapunov quadratiques et à paramètres variants avec calculs hors-ligne est proposée. Elle est implémentée sur un banc de test. Enfin, une technique adaptative robuste avec identification en ligne de la dynamique est proposée et implémentée dans le véhicule. Cette technique a été testée et validée en course. Les résultats expérimentaux obtenus montrent de bonnes performances de la stratégie de conduite / In the field of transportation, the research on energy efficiency has been carried out for few decades by the automotive industry, where one of the main objectives is to reduce the energetic consumption. This particular problem can be rephrased as how the vehicle must be driven so that the minimum quantity of energy is used. This is the optimal driving strategy. In this project, a suitable model of the Vir'volt electric vehicle involved in the European Shell Eco-Marathon is obtained. The unknown parameters involved in the vehicle dynamics are estimated using Parameter identification from experimental data. The identified dynamics is used to derive an optimal driving strategy that is intended to be tracked on-line during the driving task. The tracking task is subject to time-varying polytopic constraint on the input and/or the state. A MPC-based tracking strategy that uses an homothetic transformation as a suitable time-varying invariant set is used. The time-varying invariant set guarantees the asymptotic stability of the control law. The problem of the MPC tracking for Linear Parametric Varying (LPV) systems is introduced. A new explicit MPC strategy for LPV systems is developed. This strategy uses a Parameter dependent Lyapunov Function (PDLF) to involve explicitly the time-varying parameter in the control law and so it reduces conservatism. A benchmark is used to test the performances of the optimal driving strategy and the explicit MPC tracking strategy. Finally, a robust adaptive technique with on-line identification of the dynamics is has been proposed and tested in the race showing good performances of the adaptive driving strategy
