For a class of nonlinear systems subject to disturbances, an observer is proposed to estimate time-varying intervals in which their state variables are guaranteed to stay all the time. The objective is to effectively deal with nonlinearities depending on unmeasured variables which have been usually treated as uncertainty in observer design. Focusing on nonlinearities in a polytopic form, this paper shows how an interval observer can replace nonlinearities in unmeasured variables by nonlinearities in estimated intervals. Theoretical guarantees and simulation comparisons are presented to demonstrate that the use of interval-dependent nonlinearities gives better estimates than the use of an overbounding observer.

All drug regulatory paradigms are dependent on the hemodynamic system as it serves to distribute and clear the drug in/from the body. In this work, stabilization of hemodynamic variables within the context of maintaining general anesthesia conditions is presented. Several methods for robust control are employed, all based on the emerging fractional order control algorithm with inherent robustness to gain and phase margin variations. These are important due to the inter- and intra- patient variability at hand. The results indicate the great suitability of fractional order control as a substantially robust algorithm which can be used in combination with regulatory schemes for better closed loop performance. The challenges of the hemodynamic system under analysis here is the high coupling (multivariable system) with delay-dominant dynamics. Additionally, disturbance from the anesthesia-regulatory system and realistic surgical stimulation profiles are incorporated to complete the analysis. The results support the claims.

This paper proposes a box expanding method to reduce the economic dispatch (ED) cost in the box-based robust unit commitment model (BUC). As a non-anticipative robust unit commitment model for a power system under demand uncertainty, BUC co-optimizes the commitment schedule and the feasible set of the ED problem to minimize the total operating cost for the worst-case realization in a set of possible demand scenarios; the feasible set of the ED problem is modeled as a box to enable the non-anticipative real-time dispatch. Meanwhile, as BUC considers the worst-case total operating cost, the actual total operating cost may be unnecessarily high. In this paper, the box feasible set of the ED problem in BUC is expanded to a larger one via multi-objective optimization with a no-preference method. The expanded box forms a new feasible set of the ED problem, which increases the chance of reducing the actual ED cost and thus the actual total operating cost. Simulation results using 5-, 14-, and 30-bus test systems demonstrate the effectiveness and generality of the proposed method.
