Analysis and Synthesis of Polynomial Discrete-time Systems: An SOS Approach addresses the analysis and design of polynomial discrete-time control systems. The book deals with the application of Sum of Squares techniques in solving specific control and filtering problems that can be useful to solve advanced control problems, both on the theoretical side and on the practical side. Two types of controllers, state feedback controller and output feedback controller, along with topics surrounding the nonlinear filter and the H-infinity performance criteria are explored. The book also proposes a solution to global stabilization of discrete-time systems.

Presents recent developments of the Sum of Squares approach in control of Polynomial Discrete-time Systems Includes numerical and practical examples to illustrate how design methodologies can be applied Provides a methodology for robust output controller design with an H-infinity performance index for polynomial discrete-time systems Offers tools for the analysis and design of control processes where the process can be represented in polynomial form Uses the Sum of Squares method for solving controller and filter design problems Provides MATLAB� code and simulation files of all illustrated example

Non-monotonic Approach to Robust H? Control of Multi-model Systems focuses on robust analysis and synthesis problems for multi-model systems based on the non-monotonic Lyapunov Functionals (LFs) approach that enlarges the stability region and improves control performance. By fully considering the diversity of switching laws, the multi-step time difference, the multi-step prediction, and the expansion of system dimension, the non-monotonic LF can be properly constructed. The focus of this book is placed on the H? state feedback control, H? filtering and H? output feedback control for multi-model systems via a non-monotonic LF approach.

The book's authors provide illustrative examples to show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed methods, along with practical examples that demonstrate the effectiveness and potential of theoretical results.

"Robust Control for Uncertain Networked Control Systems with Random Delays" addresses the problem of analysis and design of networked control systems when the communication delays are varying in a random fashion. The random nature of the time delays is typical for commercially used networks, such as a DeviceNet (which is a controller area network) and Ethernet network.The main technique used in this book is based on the Lyapunov-Razumikhin method, which results in delay-dependent controllers. The existence of such controllers and fault estimators are given in terms of the solvability of bilinear matrix inequalities. Iterative algorithms are proposed to change this non-convex problem into quasi-convex optimization problems, which can be solved effectively by available mathematical tools. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed design method in the book, numerical examples are given in each designed control system.

This book introduces several observer-based methods, including:•the sliding-mode observer•the adaptive observer• the unknown-input observer and• the descriptor observer methodfor the problem of fault detection, isolation and estimation, allowing readers to compare and contrast the different approaches. The authors present basic material on Lyapunov stability theory, H¥ control theory, sliding-mode control theory and linear matrix inequality problems in a self-contained and step-by-step manner. Detailed and rigorous mathematical proofs are provided for all the results developed in the text so that readers can quickly gain a good understanding of the material. MATLAB® and Simulink® codes for all the examples, which can be downloaded from http://extras.springer.com, enable students to follow the methods and illustrative examples easily. The systems used in the examples make the book highly relevant to real-world problems in industrial control engineering and include a seventh-order aircraft model, a single-link flexible joint robot arm and a satellite controller. To help readers quickly find the information they need and to improve readability, the individual chapters are written so as to be semi-independent of each other.Robust Oberserver-Based Fault Diagnosis for Nonlinear Systems Using MATLAB® is of interest to process, aerospace, robotics and control engineers, engineering students and researchers with a control engineering background.

Mostindustrialbiotechnologicalprocessesareoperatedempirically.Oneofthe major di?culties of applying advanced control theories is the highly nonlinear nature of the processes. This book examines approaches based on arti?cial intelligencemethods,inparticular,geneticalgorithmsandneuralnetworks,for monitoring, modelling and optimization of fed-batch fermentation processes. The main aim of a process control is to maximize the ?nal product with minimum development and production costs. This book is interdisciplinary in nature, combining topics from biotechn- ogy, arti?cial intelligence, system identi?cation, process monitoring, process modelling and optimal control. Both simulation and experimental validation are performed in this study to demonstrate the suitability and feasibility of proposed methodologies. An online biomass sensor is constructed using a - current neural network for predicting the biomass concentration online with only three measurements (dissolved oxygen, volume and feed rate). Results show that the proposed sensor is comparable or even superior to other sensors proposed in the literature that use more than three measurements. Biote- nological processes are modelled by cascading two recurrent neural networks. It is found that neural models are able to describe the processes with high accuracy. Optimization of the ?nal product is achieved using modi?ed genetic algorithms to determine optimal feed rate pro?les. Experimental results of the corresponding production yields demonstrate that genetic algorithms are powerful tools for optimization of highly nonlinear systems. Moreover, a c- bination of recurrentneural networks and genetic algorithms provides a useful and cost-e?ective methodology for optimizing biotechnological processes.

Most real physical systems are nonlinear in nature. Control and ?ltering of nonlinear systems are still open problems due to their complexity natures. These problem becomes more complex when the system's parameters are - certain. A common approach to designing a controller/?lter for an uncertain nonlinear system is to linearize the system about an operating point, and uses linear control theory to design a controller/?lter. This approach is successful when the operating point of the system is restricted to a certain region. H- ever, when a wide range operation of the system is required, this method may fail. ThisbookpresentsnewnovelmethodologiesfordesigningrobustH fuzzy ? controllers and robustH fuzzy ?lters for a class of uncertain fuzzy systems ? (UFSs), uncertain fuzzy Markovian jump systems (UFMJSs), uncertain fuzzy singularly perturbed systems (UFSPSs) and uncertain fuzzy singularly p- turbed systems with Markovian jumps (UFSPS-MJs). These new meth- ologies provide a framework for designing robustH fuzzy controllers and ? robustH fuzzy ?lters for these classes of systems based on a Tagaki-Sugeno ? (TS) fuzzy model.Solutions to the design problems are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). To investigate the design problems, we ?rst describe a class of uncertain nonlinear systems (UNSs), uncertain nonlinear Markovianjumpsystems(UNMJSs),uncertainnonlinearsingularlyperturbed systems(UNSPSs)anduncertainnonlinearsingularlyperturbedsystemswith Markovian jumps (UNSPS-MJs) by a TS fuzzy system with parametric - certainties and with/without Markovian jumps. Then, based on an LMI - proach, we develop a technique for designing robustH fuzzy controllers and ? robustH fuzzy ?lters such that a given prescribed performance index is ? guaranteed.
