Abstract
In this paper, the robust digital stabilization problem of nonlinear systems is investigated. In particular, a methodology for the design of robust quantized sampled-data stabilizers updated via an event-triggered mechanism is provided for time-varying control-affine nonlinear systems affected by actuation disturbances and measurement noises. The notion of time-varying steepest descent feedback (TSDF), continuous or not, and the Input-to-State Stability (ISS) redesign methodology are used for the development of the proposed robust event-based digital controller. Under the assumption that the actuation disturbances and measurement noises are bounded with a-priori known bounds and that the amplitude of the measurement noises satisfies a certain condition related to the new added robustification term, the following result is proved: there exist a suitably fast sampling and an accurate quantization of the input/output channels such that the digital implementation of robustified TSDF controllers, updated through a proposed event-triggered mechanism, ensures semi-global practical stability of the related closed-loop system regardless of the above uncertainties. In the methodology here proposed, time-varying sampling periods and the non-uniform quantization of the input/output channels are allowed. Moreover, the theory here developed includes the analysis of the intersampling system behaviour. Possible discontinuities in the function describing the TSDF at hand are also managed. The provided results are validated through a numerical example.
期刊介绍:
Automatica is a leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics. Since its inception in 1963, Automatica has kept abreast with the evolution of the field over the years, and has emerged as a leading publication driving the trends in the field.
After being founded in 1963, Automatica became a journal of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) in 1969. It features a characteristic blend of theoretical and applied papers of archival, lasting value, reporting cutting edge research results by authors across the globe. It features articles in distinct categories, including regular, brief and survey papers, technical communiqués, correspondence items, as well as reviews on published books of interest to the readership. It occasionally publishes special issues on emerging new topics or established mature topics of interest to a broad audience.
Automatica solicits original high-quality contributions in all the categories listed above, and in all areas of systems and control interpreted in a broad sense and evolving constantly. They may be submitted directly to a subject editor or to the Editor-in-Chief if not sure about the subject area. Editorial procedures in place assure careful, fair, and prompt handling of all submitted articles. Accepted papers appear in the journal in the shortest time feasible given production time constraints.
