Optimization-Based Stabilization of Sampled-Data Nonlinear Systems via Their Approximate Discrete-Time Models

From MaRDI portal





Assume that an input system \[ \dot x= f(x,u),\quad u\in U\tag{1} \] and a sampling time \(T> 0\) are given. If the system equations can be integrated for any constant \(u\in U\) and initial state \(x_0\), and assuming that the solution \(\phi(t,x_0, u)\) exists on the whole interval \([0, T]\), one can associate to (1) the exact discrete-time model \[ x_{k+1}= F^e_T(x_k, u_k),\tag{2} \] where \(F^e_T(x, u)= \phi(T, x, u)\). Since in general the system equations cannot be explicitly integrated, some numerical algorithm has to be used. This is the same as replacing (2) by an approximate discrete-time system \[ x_{k+1}= F^a_{T,h}(x_k, u_k),\tag{3} \] where \(h\) is a possible new modelling parameter. Control design is often based on the approximate model (3). However, examples show that control laws which are stabilizing for (3), may fail when applied to the exact model (2). In this paper, the authors consider stabilizing control laws obtained by solving certain optimization problems (on the finite or infinite horizon) based on the approximate model, and give conditions which ensure that the same control law stabilizes the exact model as well. The results cover a variety of situations (for instance, the case where \(T= h\) and the case where \(T\) and \(h\) are independent).
