Most of the past research on the problem of deadlock avoidance for complex resource allocation systems (RAS) has acknowledged the fact that the computation of the maximally permissive (optimal) deadlock avoidance policy (DAP) possesses super-polynomial complexity for most RAS classes, and therefore, it has resorted to solutions that trade off maximal permissiveness for computational tractability. In this work, we distinguish between the off-line and the on-line computation that is required for the effective implementation of the maximally permissive DAP, and we seek to develop representations of this policy that will require minimal on-line computation. The particular representation that we adopt is that of a compact classifier that will effect the underlying dichotomy of the reachable state space into safe and unsafe subspaces. Through a series of reductions of the derived classification problem, we are also able to attain extensive reductions in the computational complexity of the off-line task of the construction of the sought classifier. In a first study of the aforementioned problem, we restrict our attention to a particular RAS class that is motivated by an ongoing project called Gadara. This particular RAS class accepts the separation of the safe and unsafe subspaces of its instantiations through a set of linear inequalities. We propose design procedures that will construct a classifier employing the minimum possible number of linear inequalities, and we formally establish their "completeness", i.e., their ability to provide an effective classifier for every instance of the considered RAS class. We also offer heuristics that, if necessary, can alleviate the computational effort that is necessary for the construction of the sought classifier. We extend the aforementioned results to encompass more general RAS classes, where the sought dichotomy might not be represented by a set of linear inequalities. To this end, we propose new parametric and non-parametric classification schemes for this more complex case, and establish formally their completeness. We also provide effective and computationally efficient procedures for the synthesis of the sought classifiers. A bottleneck in the developments described above is defined by the fact that they presuppose the availability of the enumerations of the RAS safe and unsafe subspaces. To address this obstacle, we propose a novel approach for the deployment of the maximally permissive DAP for RAS, that is based on the identification and the efficient storage of a critical subset of states of the underlying RAS state space. In particular, the proposed algorithm provides those critical states, while avoiding the complete enumeration of the RAS state space. Furthermore, we extend the existing theory on maximally permissive deadlock avoidance, so that it can handle RAS with reader/writer (R/W) locks. A key challenge that is posed by this new RAS class stems from the fact that the underlying state space is not necessarily finite. We effectively address this obstacle by taking advantage of special structure that exists in the set of unsafe states and enables a finite representation of this set through its minimal elements. Finally, we would like to mention that numerical experimentation demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed approaches, and establishes their ability to support the deployment of maximally permissive DAP for RAS with very large structure and state spaces. To the best of our knowledge, these experiments also establish the ability of the proposed methodology to effectively compute tractable implementations of the maximally permissive DAP for problem instances significantly beyond the capacity of any other approach currently available in the literature. Moreover, this is the first work to address the RAS with R/W locks.

Die Z-Transformation ist ein wichtiges Werkzeug für diskontinuierliche Regelungen. Ein wenig beachteter Transformationsweg führt über die Berechnung von Residuen. Alle wichtigen Besonderheiten wie Mehrfachpole, Sprungfähigkeit, komplexe Pole oder Zeitverschiebung unterhalb der Abtastzeit (modifizierte Z-Transformation) können einbezogen werden. Die Vorgabe von Reihenabbruchkriterien oder das Auffinden von Summenformeln ist nicht notwendig. Der Weg ist prinzipiell für manuelle und maschinelle Berechnungen einsetzbar. Die Vorgehensweise wird durch drei ausführliche Beispiele verdeutlicht. / The Z-transformation is an important tool for the control of discontinuous systems. A seldom considered transformation way uses the residue computation. All relevant fea-tures as for instance multiple poles, process with feedthrough, complex poles or delay less than the sampling time (so called modified Z-transformation) may be included. There is no truncation criterion or search for a sum formula necessary. This way is always applicable for manual as well as for computer-aided computations. Three detailed examples demonstrate the use of the formulas.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / This work presents the analysis, design example, simulations and experimental results on a soft-switching bidirectional isolated three-phase dc-dc converter using dual phase-shift control with variable duty cycle. The topology uses three single H-bridges in the primary side and a three-phase inverter in the secondary side. High-frequency isolation is ensured by using three single-phase transformers connected in open delta-wye configuration. The variation of both phase-shift (PS) angles between the H-bridge legs and/or primary and secondary sides allows controlling the power flow, while reduced reactive power flow is possible. The variable duty cycle is used to ensure a constant voltage bus and/or zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation. A detailed analysis is presented considering a model based on the fundamental components for the voltages and currents in the transformer and, aiming its validation, a second analysis from the operation stages of the converter has also been developed. Besides, the dynamic model of the converter, based on fundamental components and employing the gyrator theory has been developed. A design example with nominal values assumptions, stresses and specifications for components, discrete control system characterization and its FPGA programming are presented. Simulation and experimental results in steady state and closed-loop performance are presented and discussed to validate the proposed approach. / Este trabalho apresenta a anÃlise, exemplo de projeto, simulaÃÃes e resultados experimentais de um conversor CC-CC trifÃsico isolado bidirecional com comutaÃÃo suave, dual phase shift (DPS) e razÃo cÃclica variÃvel.

A fonte é formada por associações em série e em paralelo de módulos de menor po-tência para que, em conjunto, possam atender às exigências requeridas de tensão e de corrente dos magnetos. Cada módulo é constituído de dois estágios, um de entrada e outro de saída, em que o segundo é o objeto de estudo deste trabalho. O estágio de saída é constituído por um conversor ponte completa associado a um filtro de terceira ordem. Inicialmente é feita a modelagem do estágio de saída e apresentado um modelo apropriado a uma quantidade genérica de módulos associados em série. Em seguida é feita a discretização da planta e o controle em espaço de estados. Para a alocação dos pólos do sistema em malha fechada é utilizado o Regulador Quadrático Linear Digital. Entretanto, quando módulos são associados, aumenta-se consideravelmente a ordem do sistema e torna-se inviável a medição de todos os estados da planta. Então, é proposto um observador ótimo de ordem reduzida para que este seja capaz de fornecer ao con-trolador os estados que não são medidos. A análise de estabilidade permitiu verificar a robustez do controle em conjunto com o observador de estados. Na associação de módulos em paralelo foram consideradas que as correntes da saída de cada módulo são parcelas do estado que corresponde à corrente das cargas magnéticas. Baseado nesta premissa e no controle feito para o arranjo de módulos em série, foi proposta uma estratégia de controle para o arranjo em paralelo. Os resultados em simulação, tanto para a configuração de módulos em série quanto em paralelo, permitem verificar os desempenhos dinâmicos do controlador e observador de estados. / This dissertation presents a proposal of a discrete-time state-feedback control law applied to the Sirius magnetic source power supply. In order to meet the magnets' required voltage and current levels the source is formed by series and parallel associa-tion of modular converters. Each module is made up of two stages, input and output, in which the later is addressed this work. The output stage is constituted by a full bridge converter associated with a third-order filter. Initially a mathematical model is obtained for a single module. This model is later extended to represent the connection of several modules in series. Then the plant is discretized and state feedback law is designed to control the system. The optimal technique Digital Linear Quadratic Regu-lator was used to place the closed-loop poles. However, when modules are associated, due the order of the system it becomes impracticable to measure all the states. Then an optimal reduced order observer is proposed to provide to controller the states that are not measured. An stability analysis is performed in order to verify the controller robustness. For the association of modules in parallel was considered that the output currents of each module are the parcels of the state corresponding to the current of the magnetic loads. Based on this premise and in the previously control design for the series modules association, is proposed a control topology for the parallel arrange-ment. Simulation results were obtained, for the both configuration of modules series and parallel, and the performances of the controller and state-observer were verified.

Kontrola řízení vozidla se stala významným problémem v automatizačních aplikacích v automobilovém průmyslu. Ta se stala reálnou díky zavedení různých "by-wire" subsystémů, jako je např. "steer-by-wire," "break-by-wire," atd. Tyto subsystémy reprezentují elektronické ekvivalenty již existujících mechanických a hydraulických subsystémů. Především pak může být zavedeno číslicové řízení, určené na základě vzorkování dynamiky vozidla. Výhodou periodického snímání vstupních veličin je vyvarování se určitých poruch spojitého řízení.
