Generalizing Hybrid Integrator-Gain Systems Using Fractional Calculus

The Hybrid Integral Gain Systems (HIGS) has recently gained a lot of attention in the control of precision motion systems. HIGS is a nonlinear low pass filter with a 52 degree phase advantage over its linear counterpart. This property allows us to avoid the limitations typically associated with linear controllers like the waterbed effect and bode's phase gain relation. In this paper, we generalize HIGS via replacing the involved integer order integrator with a fractional order one to adapt the phase lead from 0 degree (linear low pass filter) to 52 degree (HIGS). To analyze this filter in the frequency domain, the describing function of the proposed filter, i.e., the fractional-order HIGS, is obtained using the Fourier expansion of the output signal. In addition, this generalized HIGS is implemented in a PID structure controlling a double integrator system to validate the performance of the proposed filter in the time domain, in which changing the fractional variable from zero to one, the output varies from the response of a nonlinear control system to a linear one.

Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems with Distributed Constrained Optimization Missions and Event-Triggered Communications: Application to Resource Allocation

This paper deals with solving distributed optimization problems with equality constraints by a class of uncertain nonlinear heterogeneous dynamic multi-agent systems. It is assumed that each agent with an uncertain dynamic model has limited information about the main problem and limited access to the information of the state variables of the other agents. A distributed algorithm that guarantees cooperative solving of the constrained optimization problem by the agents is proposed. Via this algorithm, the agents do not need to continuously broadcast their data. It is shown that the proposed algorithm can be useful in solving resource allocation problems.

Robust Output Regulation: Optimization-Based Synthesis and Event-Triggered Implementation

We investigate the problem of practical output regulation, i.e., to design a controller that brings the system output in the vicinity of a desired target value while keeping the other variables bounded. We consider uncertain systems that are possibly nonlinear and the uncertainty of their linear parts is modeled element-wise through a parametric family of matrix boxes. An optimization-based design procedure is proposed that delivers a continuous-time control and estimates the maximal regulation error. We also analyze an event-triggered emulation of this controller, which can be implemented on a digital platform, along with an explicit estimates of the regulation error.

Stability Analysis of Fractional Order Systems Described in the Lur'e Structure

Lur'e systems are feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant subsystem in the forward path and a memoryless nonlinear one in the feedback path, which have many physical representatives. In this paper, some classical theorems about the L2 input-output stability of integer order Lur'e systems are discussed, and the conditions under which these theorems can be applied in fractional order Lur'e systems with an order between 0 and 1 are investigated. Then, application of circle criterion is compared between Lur'e systems of integer and fractional order using their corresponding Nyquist plots. Furthermore, applying Zames-Falb and generalized Zames-Falb theorems, some classes of stable fractional order Lur'e systems are introduced. Finally, in order to generalize the off-axis circle criterion to fractional order systems, another method is presented to prove one of the theorems used in its overall proof.
