The controlled asynchronous machine has input/state type where the present state is given as the output value. We consider a kind of intermittent faults that cause unauthorized state transitions to the machine, and that persist for finite time after the initial occurrence. Not only does the machine's stable reachability decrease as a result of the fault occurrence, but also immediate state recovery is made impossible. We examine the existence condition and design algorithm for a corrective controller that tolerates the adverse effect of intermittent faults with degraded performance, that is, the closed-loop system regains the normal behavior within a bounded delay. Through an illustrative example, we demonstrate the proposed fault tolerant control methodology.","PeriodicalId":251538,"journal":{"name":"2014 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123636277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well-known that the design of a ℋ∞ controller can be formulated as a two-step procedure. In the first step the performance level is minimized and the closed loop Lyapunov function is determined. The second step is the construction of the controller. The currently available implementations of this procedure generate only one controller candidate and leave no room for additional tuning between the design steps. If the controller obtained is not acceptable, (e.g. it is unstable) then the designer has to modify the original control problem (changing, e.g., the performance weighting functions) and then has to perform the entire synthesis again. This paper presents a novel parameterization of all controllers corresponding to the performance level and Lyapunov function determined in the first design step. This parameterizaton makes it possible to construct tuning algorithms for finding the “best” controller in the parameterized set. Now, this paper focuses only on the stability of the controller and provides an iterative tuning algorithm, which finds a stable controller having poles on the prescribed domain of the left half complex plane. The applicability of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated on a simple robust control problem.","PeriodicalId":251538,"journal":{"name":"2014 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"34 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125992609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since this problem is generically non-convex, these approaches typically rely on relaxations such as Group Lasso or nuclear norm minimization. However, while these approaches usually work well in practice, there is no guarantee that using these surrogates will lead to the simplest model explaining the experimental data. In addition, incorporating stability constraints into the formalism entails a substantial increase in the computational complexity. Alternatively stability and model order constraints can be handled directly using a moments based approach. However, presently this approach is limited to relatively small sized problems, due to its computational complexity. Motivated by these difficulties, recently a new approach has been proposed based on the idea of representing the response of an LTI system as a linear combination of suitably chosen objects (atoms) and the observation that minimizing the atomic norm leads to sparse representations. In this paper we cover the fundamentals of this new approach and show that it leads to a very efficient algorithm, that avoids the need for using regularization steps and automatically incorporates stability constraints. In addition, this approach can be extended to accommodate non-uniform sampling and (unknown) initial conditions. These results are illustrated with several examples, including identification of a very lightly damped structure from time and frequency domain measurements.","PeriodicalId":251538,"journal":{"name":"2014 European Control Conference (ECC)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129473845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By formulating this problem adequately, tools from convex optimisation can be then applied.
