Utilization of noise for the control of a class of non-linear systems

Utilization of noise for the control of a class of non-linear systems is presented. The application of state-multiplicative noise as a mean of control is far more limited then the use of standard determinis?tic gains. Nevertheless, so called Stochastic Anti Resonance (SAR) with state-multiplicative noise based control, do arise in a variety of situations such as in engineering applications, physics modelling, bi?ology, and models of visuo-motor tasks. Linear Matrix Inequalities based conditions from recent publications are reviewed, that character?ize stochastic stability of such nonlinear systems applying SAR. While those results dealt with systems that are, apriori, modelled using sec?tor bounded nonlinearities, we demonstrate that more general systems that can be approximated as such, can be also controlled using SAR.

Static Output Feedback in an Anisotropic Norm Setup Revisited

The synthesis problem of static output feedback controllers within the anistropic-norm setup is revisited. A tractable synthesis approach involving iterations over a convex optimization problem is suggested, similarly to existing results for the Hinfinity-norm minimization case. The results are formulated by a couple of Linear Matrix Inequalities coupled via a bilinear equality, revealing, as in the Hinfinity case, the duality between the control-type and filtering type LMIs and allowing a tractable iterative method to cope with practical static output feedback synthesis problems. The resulting optimization scheme is then applied to a flight control problem, where the merit of the anisotropic norm setup is shown to provide a useful trade-off between closed loop response and feedback gains.
