Abstract
This paper derives two relevant results in the context of weak energy shaping for stochastic port-Hamiltonian systems (SPHS). Energy shaping is a technique systematically used to design feedback laws that shape the Hamiltonian of a controlled system to converge to a desired configuration under a general passivity condition. Such an approach has been recently extended to SPHS, but the resulting theory has limitations excluding relevant examples such as the additive noise case. However, it has been shown that the invariant measure of the SPHS allows the introduction of a weaker notion of convergence, hence obtaining a significant extension of the classical energy shaping theory for SPHS. In this paper, we continue investigating the weak energy shaping of SPHS, showing that the Fokker–Planck equation associated with an SPHS can be seen as the Fokker–Planck equation of an infinite-dimensional deterministic PHS. Moreover, we explicitly compute the invariant measure for a specific class of SPHS with additive noise.
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.
