Dissipative Systems Analysis And Control

This second edition of Dissipative Systems Analysis and Control has been substantially reorganized to accommodate new material and enhance its pedagogical features. It examines linear and nonlinear systems with examples of both in each chapter. Also included are some infinite-dimensional and nonsmooth examples. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the use of the dissipative properties of a system for the design of stable feedback control laws.

This book deals with the analysis and feedback control of dissipative dynamical systems. It presents the background of dissipative systems theory. Linear as well as nonlinear systems are treated, and many examples are given throughout the chapters. Some infinite dimensional and non-smooth examples are also included. The emphasis is put on the application towards the design of stable feedback control laws. Then the theory is illustrated on physical examples; (Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems are thoroughly studied, as well as adaptive control). It is shown how the dissipativity properties of a system can be used in the design of stable feedback controllers. Some experimental results are presented which corroborate the theoretical developments. This monograph is primarily for readers who wish to get aquainted with Dissipative Systems Theory, and its uses in Systems and Control and Robotics. It constitutes an advanced introduction to the topic, and is the first volume ever published which is dedicated entirely to this subject.

This book deals with the analysis and feedback control of dissipative dynamical systems. It constitutes an advanced introduction to the topic, an introduction that is aimed at readers interested in the applications of dissipative systems theory within systems, control, and robotics. It presents the reader with a thorough treatment of the background to dissipative systems theory. It examines linear and nonlinear systems, providing comprehensive examples of these in each chapter. Some infinite-dimensional and nonsmooth examples are also included. Throughout the book the emphasis is placed on the application of dissipative dynamical systems towards the design of stable feedback control laws. The theory is consistently illustrated by physical examples, (Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems are thoroughly covered, as are adaptive controllers). The book shows how the dissipative properties of a system can be used in the design of stable feedback controllers. These theoretical developments are backed up by experimental results. It includes chapters on: • Positive Real Systems • The Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov Lemma • Dissipative Systems • Passivity-Based Control • Adaptive Control

This book addresses a major problem for today’s large-scale networked systems: certification of the required stability and performance properties using analytical and computational models. On the basis of illustrative case studies, it demonstrates the applicability of theoretical methods to biological networks, vehicle fleets, and Internet congestion control. Rather than tackle the network as a whole —an approach that severely limits the ability of existing methods to cope with large numbers of physical components— the book develops a compositional approach that derives network-level guarantees from key structural properties of the components and their interactions. The foundational tool in this approach is the established dissipativity theory, which is reviewed in the first chapter and supplemented with modern computational techniques. The book blends this theory with the authors’ recent research efforts at a level that is accessible to graduate students and practising engineers familiar with only the most basic nonlinear systems concepts. Code associated with the numerical examples can be downloaded at extras.springer.com, allowing readers to reproduce the examples and become acquainted with the relevant software.

Modern complex large-scale dynamical systems exist in virtually every aspect of science and engineering, and are associated with a wide variety of technological, environmental, and social phenomena. This book develops stability analysis and control design framework for nonlinear large-scale interconnected dynamical systems.

Nonlinear systems with stationary sets are important because they cover a lot of practical systems in engineering. Previous analysis has been based on the frequency-domain for this class of systems. However, few results on robustness analysis and controller design for these systems are easily available. This book presents the analysis as well as methods based on the global properties of systems with stationary sets in a unified time-domain and frequency-domain framework. The focus is on multi-input and multi-output systems, compared to previous publications which considered only single-input and single-output systems. The control methods presented in this book will be valuable for research on nonlinear systems with stationary sets.
