New 2D models and a transition matrix for discrete linear repetitive processes (Q4485310)

Linear, finite-dimensional, time-invariant discrete repetitive control processes are considered. Using algebraic methods, Roesser and Formasini-Marchesini 2D state space models for the dynamics of these repetitive control processes are constructed and studied. Next, stability tests which involve only computations on constant matrices are proposed. Using the transition matrix, the general response formula for computing the output pass profile sequence in response to a given input sequence and boundary conditions is proposed. Moreover, local reachability and controllability are considered. Finally, several remarks and comments on the relationships between standard 2D control systems and discrete repetitive control processes are given. Similar considerations concerning repetitive processes have been recently published by the authors [``New 2D systems models for repetitive processes'', Proc. IFAC Conf. Systems Structure and Control, Nantes, France, 488-493 (1995)].
