This is specifically challenging when the learning process starts with no data and rich data must be collected from the closed-loop system. This is in sharp contrast to the standard practice in data-driven control that assumes the availability of a priori rich collected open-loop data. To ensure that the closed-loop system delivers acceptable performance despite exploration for rich data collection in the context of linear quadratic regulator (LQR), we first formalize a linear matrix inequality (LMI) solution for an LQR problem that is regularized by the control entropy. Given available side information (e.g., a set that system parameters belong to), a conservative solution to the LQR can be found. To reduce the conservatism over time while ensuring an acceptable performance during learning, we present a set membership closed-loop system identification and integrate it with side information in solving the entropy-regularized LQR through Schur complement, along with the lossy S-procedure. We show that the presented set membership approach progressively improves the entropy-regularized LQR cost by shrinking the size of the set of system parameters. We also show that this is achieved while guaranteeing acceptable performance. An iterative algorithm is presented using the closed-loop set membership learning to progressively learn a new improved controller after every online data sample is collected by applying the current learned control policy. Simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the presented results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29926,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Journal of Systems and Control","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100305"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143739293","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}

The proposal is based on a multi-controller switching philosophy, where the modification of an interpolation signal defines the combination of the control actions of each controller. The contribution is based on the integration of two methodologies. On the one hand, a multivariable feedback control design approach, using the concepts of control allocation and measurement combination. On the other hand, the mapping of a set of linear stabilizing controllers onto a multi-controller, based on the Q-parameter from the Youla-Kucera theory. In this context, the set of controllers can be designed independently. Moreover, the stability is guaranteed subject to an arbitrary switching between different stabilizing controllers. The procedure is evaluated by considering two relevant scenarios of control reconfiguration: 1- a complete modification of the input–output pairing, and 2- the replacement of a classical controller with a new advanced control strategy. Based on the computational simulation of two case studies from the literature, it is shown that the plug-in module carries out the reconfiguration of the control structure, improving the dynamic performance and ensuring the stability of the system. The design is based on the nominal controller, which is not modified during the reconfiguration process.

This paper presents a high-performance interleaved boost converter regulated by a fractional-order proportional-integral (FoPI) controller to ensure stable output voltage and power delivery under fluctuating input and load conditions. The FoPI controller parameters, including gains and fractional order, are optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) with the integral absolute error (IAE) as the objective function. The primary objective is to enhance the system’s robustness against input voltage variations and load disturbances. The proposed PSO-FoPI controller is tested under different operating scenarios: (i) a fixed input of 150 V, (ii) an input variation from 150 V to 350 V, and (iii) a fixed 200 V input with output power demand variations between 8 kW and 12.25 kW. Also sensitivity analysis with changing parameter values of the converter and inclusion of step and ramp input disturbances, the performance of the controller is evaluated. MATLAB/Simulink simulations demonstrate that the PSO-FoPI controller effectively maintains the desired 400 V output and an average power of 10 kW while reducing transient effects and harmonic distortions. Comparative analysis with PI controller, tuned via Ziegler–Nichols and PSO techniques, highlights the superior performance of the proposed approach. The results confirm that the PSO-FoPI-controlled interleaved boost converter enhances stability and efficiency, making it well-suited for real-time applications utilizing renewable power sources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29926,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Journal of Systems and Control","volume":"32 ","pages":"Article 100301"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143683562","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}

Designing computationally tractable feedback controllers that respect safety for a given set is impossible in general. The best one can do in this case is to maximize the region contained in the safe set that respects both safety and optimality. To this end, our key contribution lies in constructing a safe optimal domain of attraction (DoA) that ensures optimal convergence of the system’s trajectories to the origin without violating safety. To accomplish this, we leverage the concept of the relaxed Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equation, which allows us to learn the most permissive control barrier certificates (CBCs) with a maximum-volume conflict-free set by solving a tractable optimization problem. To enhance computational efficiency, we present an innovative sum-of-squares (SOS)-based algorithm, breaking down the optimization problem into smaller SOS programs at each iteration. To alleviate the need for the system model to solve these SOS optimizations, an SOS-based off-policy reinforcement learning (RL) method is presented. This off-policy learning approach enables the evaluation of a target policy distinct from the behavior policy used for data collection, ensuring safe exploration under mild assumptions. In the end, the simulation results are given to show the efficacy of the proposed method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29926,"journal":{"name":"IFAC Journal of Systems and Control","volume":"31 ","pages":"Article 100300"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143562770","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}

This is particularly important in the case of air pollution, where concentration measures are scattered over large areas. On the one hand, the classical approach creates a single-station (local) forecasting model using only the data collected at the same station. This guarantees a training dataset that considers all the site’s specific characteristics. On the other hand, these data may be limited and not sufficient to develop a robust predictor. Thus, one may use data from other stations to complement the dataset or develop a unique model considering all the data available within a region/domain. While this approach may be prone to filtering high variations, it may consider information on peculiar episodes that have not occurred in the past to a specific station. This paper discusses the topic of air pollution forecasting using the example of several stations in the Padana Plain, Northern Italy. Local forecasting models are developed using LSTM neural networks for nitrogen dioxide and ozone and hourly data from 2010 to 2023 and then compared with regional models.
