Multidimensional Linear Systems and Robust ControlMalakorn, Tanit 16 April 2003 (has links)
This dissertation contains two parts: Commutative and Noncommutative Multidimensional ($d$-D) Linear Systems Theory. The first part focuses on the development of the interpolation theory to solve the $H^{\infty}$ control problem for $d$-D linear systems. We first review the classical discrete-time 1D linear system in the operator theoretical viewpoint followed by the formulations of the so-called Givone-Roesser and Fornasini-Marchesini models. Application of the $d$-variable $Z$-transform to the system of equations yields the transfer function which is a rational function of several complex variables, say $\mathbf{z} = (z_{1}, \dots, z_{d})$.
We then consider the output feedback stabilization problem for a plant $P(\mathbf{z})$. By assuming that $P(\mathbf{z})$ admits a double coprime factorization, then a set of stabilizing controllers $K(\mathbf{z})$ can be parametrized by the Youla parameter $Q(\mathbf{z})$. By doing so, one can convert such a problem to the model matching problem with performance index $F(\mathbf{z})$, affine in $Q(\mathbf{z})$. Then, with $F(\mathbf{z})$ as the design parameter rather than $Q(\mathbf{z})$, one has an interpolation problem for $F(\mathbf{z})$. Incorporation of a tolerance level on $F(\mathbf{z})$ then leads to an interpolation problem of multivariable Nevanlinna-Pick type. We also give an operator-theoretic formulation of the model matching problem which lends itself to a solution via the commutant lifting theorem on the polydisk.
The second part details a system whose time-axis is described by a free semigroup $\mathcal{F}_{d}$. Such a system can be represented by the so-called noncommutative Givone-Roesser, or noncommutative Fornasini-Marchesini models which are analogous to those in the first part. Application of a noncommutative $d$-variable $Z$-transform to the system of equations yields the transfer function expressed by a formal power series in several noncommuting indeterminants, say $T(z) = \sum_{v \in \mathcal{F}_{d}}T_{v}z^{v}$ where $z^{v} = z_{i_{n}} \dotsm z_{i_{1}}$ if $v = g_{i_{n}} \dotsm g_{i_{1}} \in \mathcal{F}_{d}$ and $z_{i}z_{j} \neq z_{j}z_{i}$ unless $i = j$. The concepts of reachability, controllability, observability, similarity, and stability are introduced by means of the state-space interpretation. Minimal realization problems for noncommutative Givone-Roesser or Fornasini-Marchesini systems are solved directly by a shift-realization procedure constructed from appropriate noncommutative Hankel matrices. This procedure adapts the ideas of Schützenberger and Fliess originally developed for "recognizable series" to our systems. / Ph. D.

Robust analysis and synthesis for uncertain negative-imaginary systemsSong, Zhuoyue January 2011 (has links)
Negative-imaginary systems are broadly speaking stable and square (equal number of inputs and outputs) systems whose Nyquist plot lies underneath (never touches for strictly negative-imaginary systems) the real axis when the frequency varies in the open interval 0 to ∞. This class of systems appear quite often in engineering applications, for example, in lightly damped flexible structures with collocated position sensors and force actuators, multi-link robots, DC machines, active filters, etc. In this thesis, robustness analysis and controller synthesis methods for uncertain negative-imaginary systems are explored. Two new reformulation techniques are proposed that facilitate both the robustness analysis and controller synthesis for uncertain negative-imaginary systems. These reformulations are based on the transformation from negative-imaginary systems to a bounded-real framework via the positive-real property. In the presence of strictly negative-imaginary uncertainty, the robust stabilization problem is posed in an equivalent H∞ control framework; similarly, a negative-imaginary robust performance analysis problem is cast into an equivalent μ-framework. The latter framework also allows robust stability analysis when the perturbations are a mixture of bounded-real and negative-imaginary uncertainties. The proposed two techniques pave the way for existing H∞ control and μ theory to be applied to robustness analysis and controller synthesis for negative-imaginary systems. In addition, a static state-feedback synthesis method is proposed to achieve robust stability of a system in the presence of strictly negative-imaginary uncertainties. The method is developed in the LMI framework, which can be solved efficiently using convex optimization techniques. The controller synthesis method is based on the negative-imaginary stability theorem: a positive feedback interconnection of two negative-imaginary systems is internally stable if and only if the DC loop gain is contractive and at least one of the systems in the interconnected loop is strictly negative-imaginary. Also, in order to handle non-strict negative-imaginary uncertainties, a strongly strictly negative-imaginary lemma is proposed that helps to ensure the strictly negative-imaginary property of the nominal closed-loop system for robustness. To this end, a state-space characterization for strictly negative-imaginary property is given for non-minimal systems where the conditions are convex and hence numerically attractive. The results in this thesis hence facilitate both the robustness analysis and controller synthesis for negative-imaginary systems that quite often arise in practical scenarios. In addition, they can be applied to quantify the worse-case performance for this class of systems. Therefore, the proposed results have important implications in controller synthesis for uncertain negative-imaginary systems that achieve not only robust stabilization but also robust performance.
