Recently, strategies based on multiple Nussbaum functions (MNFs) have been proposed to make possible continuous adaptive control for the systems with nonidentical unknown control directions, such as large-scale systems and multi-agent systems, which cannot be addressed by a single Nussbaum function. But the existing stability theorems required: MNFs have explicit expressions; MNFs are all odd or all even. This paper aims to overcome the limitations of the theorems. We first delineate MNFs by two aspects of basic properties, replacing their explicit expressions as in the literature. Specifically, MNFs have the bivariate-product form, where one variate delineates frequent changes of signs and persistent intensity of MNFs, and the other delineates the rapid growth of MNFs. Such a delineation can capture the essence of MNFs and cover as many MNFs as possible. Based on the delineated MNFs, we present two stability theorems overcoming the aforementioned limitations. Notably, the two theorems do not require MNFs to have explicit expressions. Specifically, Theorem 1 allows nonmonotonic dynamic variables of MNFs while requiring MNFs to be odd, avoiding too large gains and excessive control cost. Theorem 4 does not require all MNFs to be odd while requiring dynamic variables of MNFs to be monotonic, giving users more freedom in selecting MNFs. The two stability theorems are applied to a large-scale system and a nonlinear system with parameterized uncertainties, both with nonidentical unknown control directions, to avoid monotonicity of dynamic gains and overparameterization, respectively, in control design.</p>","PeriodicalId":51123,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics of Control Signals and Systems","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method is based on a D-decomposition formulation that consists of identifying the critical pairs of delay and frequency, and determining the corresponding crossing directions. The process of identifying the critical pairs consists of a magnitude condition and a phase condition. The magnitude condition utilizes the Orlando’s formula, and generates frequency curves within the delay interval of interest. Such frequency curves correspond to the delay-frequency pairs such that the decomposition equation has at least one solution on the unit circle. The delay interval of interest is divided into continuous frequency curve intervals (CFCIs). Under some nondegeneracy assumptions, the number of frequency curves remains constant within each CFCI, and the associated decomposition equation has one and only one solution on the unit circle at any point on a frequency curve. By traversing through the frequency curves, all the crossing points can be identified. The crossing direction is related to the sign of the lowest-order nonzero derivative of the phase angle with respect to the delay, which is a generalization of the existing literature even for the case with single delay. This conclusion allows one to determine the crossing direction by examining the phase angle vs delay diagram. An example is presented to illustrate how a stability analysis can be conducted if some nondegeneracy assumptions are violated.</p>","PeriodicalId":51123,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics of Control Signals and Systems","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The motion of the fluid is bidimensional, whereas the deformation of the structure is one-dimensional, and we use periodic boundary conditions in the horizontal direction. Our result is the local null-controllability of this free-boundary system by using only one scalar control acting on an arbitrary small part of the fluid domain. This improves a previous result obtained by the authors where three scalar controls were needed to achieve the local null-controllability. In order to show the result, we prove the final-state observability of a linear Stokes-beam interaction system in a cylindrical domain. This is done by using a Fourier decomposition, proving Carleman inequalities for the corresponding system for the low-frequency solutions and in the case where the observation domain is an horizontal strip. Then, we conclude this observability result by using a Lebeau–Robbiano strategy for the heat equation and a uniform exponential decay for the high-frequency solutions.

This direction of research is inspired by observed multiple roots after minimizing the spectral abscissa as a function of controller parameters. However, unlike the relation between multiple roots and rightmost roots, barely theoretical results about the relation of the former with minimizers of the spectral abscissa are available. Consequently, in the first part of the paper the characterization of rightmost roots in such minimizers is briefly revisited for all second-order systems with input delay, controlled with state feedback. As the main theoretical results, the governing multiple root configurations are proved to correspond not only to rightmost roots, but also to global minimizers of the spectrum abscissa function. The proofs rely on perturbation theory of nonlinear eigenvalue problems and exploit the quasi-convexity of the spectral abscissa function. In the second part, a computational characterization of minima of the spectral abscissa is made for output feedback, yielding a more complex picture, which includes configurations with both multiple and simple rightmost roots. In the analysis, the pivotal role of the invariant zeros is highlighted, which translate into restrictions on the tunable parameters in the closed-loop quasi-polynomial.</p>","PeriodicalId":51123,"journal":{"name":"Mathematics of Control Signals and Systems","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142179481","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
