Discretisation of continuous-time linear dynamical model with the Loewner interpolation framework

An interpolation method for discretising continuous-time Linear Time Invariant (LTI) models is proposed in this paper. It consists first in using the Loewner interpolation framework on a specific set of frequency data and secondly to project the resulting model onto a stable subspace. The order of the discretised model may be chosen larger than the initial one thus allowing for trading complexity for accuracy if needed. Numerical examples highlight the efficiency of the method at preserving a satisfactory matching both in magnitude and phase in comparison to standard discretisation methods like ZOH or Tustin.

Data-driven reference model selection and application to L-DDC design

The choice of a reference model in data-driven control techniques is a critical step. Indeed, it should represent the desired closed-loop performances and be achievable by the plant at the same time. In this paper, we propose a method to build such a reference model, both reproducible by the system and having a desired behaviour. It is applicable to Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) monovariable systems and relies on the estimation of the plant's instabilities through a data-driven stability analysis technique. The L-DDC (Loewner Data Driven Control) algorithm is used to illustrate the impact of the choice of the reference model on the control design process. Finally, the proposed choice of specifications allows to use a controller validation technique based on the small-gain theorem.

Optimal $\mathcal{H}_{2}$ model approximation based on multiple input/output delays systems

In this paper, the $\mathcal{H}_{2}$ optimal approximation of a $n_{y}\times{n_{u}}$ transfer function $\mathbf{G}(s)$ by a finite dimensional system $\hat{\mathbf{H}}_{d}(s)$ including input/output delays, is addressed. The underlying $\mathcal{H}_{2}$ optimality conditions of the approximation problem are firstly derived and established in the case of a poles/residues decomposition. These latter form an extension of the tangential interpolatory conditions, presented in~\cite{gugercin2008h_2,dooren2007} for the delay-free case, which is the main contribution of this paper. Secondly, a two stage algorithm is proposed in order to practically obtain such an approximation.

A Spectral Expression for the Frequency-Limited H2-norm

In this paper, a new simple but yet efficient spectral expression of the frequency-limited H2-norm, denoted H2w-norm, is introduced. The proposed new formulation requires the computation of the system eigenvalues and eigenvectors only, and provides thus an alternative to the well established Gramian-based approach. The interest of this new formulation is in three-folds: (i) it provides a new theoretical framework for the H2w-norm-based optimization approach, such as controller synthesis, filter design and model approximation, (ii) it improves the H2w-norm computation velocity and it applicability to models of higher dimension, and (iii) under some conditions, it allows to handle systems with poles on the imaginary axis. Both mathematical proofs and numerical illustrations are provided to assess this new H2w-norm expression.
