Stabilization of nonlinear large-scale systems by dithers

From MaRDI portal





The injection of high-frequency signals, commonly called dithers, into a nonlinear large-scale system may improve its performance. The introduction of a dither into a nonlinear feedback system is widely used in practice for the purpose of modifying nonlinearities, in order to augment stability, to extinguish undesirable limit cycles, to diminish nonlinear distortion, to quench jump phenomena, etc. Much research has been published to treat this problem. On the other hand, the importance of dithers' frequencies is found in their effect on the deviation of the smoothed large-scale system from the dithered large-scale system, and the deviation can be improved as the frequencies of the dithers increase. Dithers of sufficiently high frequencies may result in outputs of the smoothed large-scale system and of the dithered large-scale system as close as desired. The main result of this paper proposes an algorithm to find the lower bound of each dither's amplitude for stabilizing a nonlinear large-scale system.
