Reciprocal relationship between detectability and observability in a non-uniform setting

Building on the recent notion of non-uniform complete observability, and on the fact that this property ensures non-uniform exponential detectability, this paper establishes the converse implication under suitable additional assumptions. Specifically, we investigate conditions under which non-uniform exponential detectability guarantees non-uniform complete observability. Our approach is based on a refined analysis of the associated output feedback systems and on the preservation of non-uniform observability properties under such feedback transformations. These results extend the classical equivalence between observability and detectability beyond the uniform framework and provide new tools for the qualitative analysis of time-varying control systems.

Detectability via observability in a nonuniform framework: dual relationship with controllability and stabilizability

In this paper we propose a new observability property for nonautonomous linear control systems in finite dimension: the nonuniform complete observability, which is more general than the uniform complete observability. A dual relationship is established between this new notion of observability and the recently defined nonuniform complete controllability property, with the aim of obtaining the main result, which proves that nonuniform complete observability guarantees the nonuniform exponential detectability, a concept related to exponential stability in this framework.

Controllability and feedback stabilizability in a nonuniform framework

We propose a new controllability property for linear time varying control systems in finite dimension: the nonuniform complete controllability, which is halfway between the classical Kalman's properties of complete controllability and uniform complete controllability. This new concept is described in terms of two gramian inequalities, which have a strong relation; as we prove in our first result; with the property of nonuniform bounded growth for the corresponding plant, also called uncontrolled part. On the other hand, the second result proves that if a control system is nonuniformly completely controllable and its plant has the property of nonuniform bounded growth, then there exist a linear feedback control leading to a nonuniformly exponentially stable closed--loop system.

Quadratic approximate dynamic programming for scheduling water resources: a case study

We address the problem of scheduling water resources in a power system via approximate dynamic programming.To this goal, we model a finite horizon economic dispatch problemwith convex stage cost and affine dynamics, and consider aquadratic approximation of the value functions. Evaluating theachieved policy entails solving a quadratic program at each timestep, while value function fitting can be cast as a semidefiniteprogram. We test our proposed algorithm on a simplified versionof the Uruguayan power system, achieving a four percent costreduction with respect to the myopic policy

Nonuniform contractions and density stability results via a smooth topological equivalence

We study the smoothness and preserving orientation properties of a global and nonautonomous version of the Hartman--Grobman Theorem when the linear system has a nonuniform contraction on the half line. The nonuniform contraction implies the existence of a density function (\emph{i.e} a dual type of Lyapunov function) for the linear system which combined with the above diffeomorphism allow us to construct a density function for the nonlinear system.

Smoothness of Topological Equivalence on the Half Line for Nonautonomous Systems

We study the differentiability properties of the topological equivalence between a uniformly asymptotically stable linear nonautonomous system and a perturbed system with suitable nonlinearities. For this purpose, we construct a uniformly continuous homeomorphism inspired in the Palmer's one restricted to the positive half line, providing sufficient conditions ensuring its $C^{r}$--smoothness. Additionally, we study the preservation of the uniform stability properties by this homeomorphism.
