The control device applies a pointwise force/moment fixed either in the space or to the medium. In the first case the control action is proportional to the local velocity/angular velocity of the point of the medium instantaneously located at the position of the control device. In the latter the control action is proportional to the total velocity/angular velocity of the point of attachment of the control device to the medium. The control laws are shown to stabilize the traveling medium during both retraction and extrusion, and can be easily implemented.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

Each compensator's transfer function is found using a genetic-algorithm search for numerator and denominator coefficients that minimize the probability of unsatisfactory stability and performance, subject to uncertainty in the real parameters of the plant. As the search progresses, probabilities are estimated by Monte Carlo evaluation of stability and performance criteria. The design procedure employs a sweep from the lowest feasible transfer-function order to higher order, terminating either when design goals have been achieved or when no further improvement is evident. The study illustrates the evolution of pole and zero locations as compensator order increases for a benchmark problem in which settling-time and control-usage performance criteria must be satisfied subject to minimum likelihood of instability. The method provides a means for estimating the best possible compensation of a given order based on repeated searches.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

One approach to bias estimation is state augmentation, in which a new state corresponding to each unknown bias term is appended to the state vector. The Kalman filter is then applied to the augmented system and the biases are identified as part of the filtering process. A simplified observability rank test for the existence of bias estimators for a LTI system with unknown, constant state and measurement biases has been recently derived. A reduced row observability test matrix is used to show a necessary and sufficient condition for complete bias observability. This paper investigates the use of additional measurements in the system and their ability to alter the bias observability conditions of the system. Examples are presented.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference. ACC (IEEE Cat.

This generalization, though adequate for solving these stabilization problems, required the assumption that the polynomial in question have no roots on the imaginary axis except for possibly a simple root at the origin. In this note, one result is extended to also allow roots on the imaginary axis: the main conclusion is that the roots, if any, at the origin modify the earlier theorem statement only very slightly while the other imaginary axis roots leave it unchanged. The extension presented here permits a clearer exposition of the stabilization results previously obtained.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

In particular, the obtained Hurwitz stability criterion is applied to polynomials with interval parameters and polynomic uncertainty structures. The robust stability is verified by testing positivity of a real polynomial using the Bernstein subdivision algorithm. A new feature in this context is the stopping criterion, which is applied whenever the algorithm is inconclusive after a large number of iterations, but we can show that at least one zero of the polynomial is closer to the imaginary axis than a prescribed limit.","PeriodicalId":364267,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1998 American Control Conference.

Moreover, the proposed criterion of optimality does not impose a constraint on the probability of false isolation when the change time t/sub 0/>1. In this paper we propose another more realistic criterion, establish a new simple recursive change detection/isolation algorithm and investigate its statistical properties.
