The control system design process in practical real-world applications must account for plant input nonlinearities arising from control actuation devices that are subject to amplitude saturation. In Haddad and Kapila (1995) a framework for designing fixed-architecture dynamic output feedback controllers for systems with input-output time-varying nonlinearities was developed. In particular, the framework was based on the classical Lure problem concerning the stability of a feedback loop involving sector-bounded nonlinearities. This paper uses that particular framework to develop a synthesis algorithm to address the control saturation problem. Antiwindup controllers are designed. A homotopy continuation algorithm is presented and then applied to several benchmark problems. (AIAA)

This paper is concerned with the design of robust static and dynamic output feedback controllers for a class of uncertain linear systems with norm-bounded uncertainty. The uncertainty is assumed to enter into both the state and input matrices. However, the output matrix is assumed to be free of uncertain parameters. Necessary conditions are given for the existence of a static output feedback controller that quadratically stabilizes the system and minimizes a bound on the quadratic function. Our results may be considered as an extension of the optimal output feedback LQR problem to the case of uncertain systems with norm-bounded uncertainty. The problem of full-order and reduced-order dynamic output feedback is also considered using the static output feedback results.

A two-point second-order uniform box-scheme has been developed for numerical analysis of the gas flow in the boundary layer under the conditions of intensive blowing on the body surface. An effective regularization algorithm has been created, The numerical analysis indicates the second order of the uniform convergence of this box-scheme, Flowfield parameters in the boundary layer near the stagnation point of a blunt body were calculated for different magnitudes of blowing and temperature factor. numerical results have been compared with earlier obtained data by the three-point exponential box-scheme.

For a class of nonlinear engine dynamic models of arbitrary order that can also be Mach, altitude, and angle-of-attack dependent, it is shown that the optimal throttle setting for aircraft terrain-following flight is generally of the bang-bang type whenever the optimal angle of attack is interior. The only case where a singular throttle control may appear is when the time-of-flight is not included in the performance index and the terrain is not followed exactly. A comparison with the results of Lu and Pierson (1995) suggests that ignoring engine dynamics in aircraft trajectory optimization does not lead to incorrect conclusions. (AIAA)

This paper deals with the development and characterization of Dynamic Programming Predictive Controllers (DPPC), advanced predictive controllers that make use of dynamic programming to solve highly nonlinear / nonquadratic constrained control problems. Some computational techniques to reduce the computational load are proposed, and an application example, pH control, is analyzed using this new methodology.

Mixed structured singular value analysis tests that allow the structure of the multipliers to a priori be specified have been developed. These tests can be characterized in terms of the existence of positive definite solutions to certain Riccati equations. Probability-one homotopy algorithms are developed to find a solution. These results easily extend to provide computationally tractable algorithms for fixed-architecture, robust control design.

In this paper, a robust switching surface design procedure is developed for use in variable structure output feedback control. The presence of stable invariant zeros and matched uncertainty in the system is incorporated into the design procedure. It. gives the theoretical background of methods appropriate for the design of the hyperplane such that closed-loop robustness properties are maximised, The controller is synthesised to tokrate certain amounts of nonlinearity and model uncertainty. The controller is straightforward and is based on Lyapunov theory. The measurements of robustness are described. The example of a multi variable helicopter problem is presented to show the effectiveness of the method.

High emission levels and the unfavourable topography are the main reasons for the alarming photochemical air pollution levels in Athens. An analysis of available air quality data proves that air pollution levels in Athens are largely affected by local wind circulation systems. The most frequent of these systems is dominated by the phenomenon of the sea breeze. Severe air pollution episodes occur, however, primarily under synoptic situations leading to stagnant conditions in the atmosphere over Athens. Photosmog formation in the Athens Basin is studied with the photochemical dispersion model MARS. The implicit solution algorithm incorporated in MARS is characterized by a variable time increment and a variable order. This solver allows avoiding unnecessary operator splitting by a coupled treatment of vertical diffusion and chemical kinetics. In this paper, MARS is used to analyse the situation on 25 May 1990, a day for which very high air pollution levels were reported in Athens. The simulation results elucidate the characteristics of a photosmog episode under stagnant conditions in Athens. In general, the model results reproduce satisfactorily the observed air pollution patterns.
