In this paper, an interactive iterative learning identification and control (ILIC) scheme is developed for a class of discrete-time linear time-varying systems with unknown parameters and stochastic noise to implement point-to-point tracking. The identification is to iteratively estimate the unknown system parameter matrix by adopting the gradient-type technique for minimizing the distance of the system output from the estimated system output, whilst the control law is to iteratively upgrade the current control input with the current point-to-point tracking error scaled by the estimated system parameter matrix. Thus, the iterative learning identification and the iterative learning control are scheduled in an interactive mode. By means of norm theory, the boundedness of the discrepancy between the system matrix estimation and the real one is derived, whilst, by the manner of the statistical technique, it is conducted that the mathematical expectation of the tracking error monotonically converges to nullity and the variance of the tracking error is bounded. Numerical simulations exhibit the validity and effectiveness of the proposed ILIC scheme.

This paper integrates a previously developed iterative learning identification (ILI) (Liu, N., and Alleyne, A. G., 2016, “Iterative Learning Identification for Linear Time-Varying Systems,” IEEE Trans. Control Syst. Technol., 24(1), pp. 310–317) and iterative learning control (ILC) algorithms (Bristow, D. A., Tharayil, M., and Alleyne, A. G., 2006, “A Survey of Iterative Learning Control,” IEEE Control Syst. Mag., 26(3), pp. 96–114), into a single norm-optimal framework. Similar to the classical separation principle in linear systems, this work provides conditions under which the identification and control can be combined and guaranteed to converge. The algorithm is applicable to a class of linear time-varying (LTV) systems with parameters that vary rapidly and analysis provides a sufficient condition for algorithm convergence. The benefit of the integrated ILI/ILC algorithm is a faster tracking error convergence in the iteration domain when compared with an ILC using fixed parameter estimates. A simple example is introduced to illustrate the primary benefits. Simulations and experiments are consistent and demonstrate the convergence speed benefit.

A transform approach based on a variable initial time (VIT) formulation is developed for discrete-time signals and linear time-varying discrete-time systems or digital filters. The VIT transform is a formal power series in z−1, which converts functions given by linear time-varying difference equations into left polynomial fractions with variable coefficients, and with initial conditions incorporated into the framework. It is shown that the transform satisfies a number of properties that are analogous to those of the ordinary z-transform, and that it is possible to do scaling of z−i by time functions, which results in left-fraction forms for the transform of a large class of functions including sinusoids with general time-varying amplitudes and frequencies. Using the extended right Euclidean algorithm in a skew polynomial ring with time-varying coefficients, it is shown that a sum of left polynomial fractions can be written as a single fraction, which results in linear time-varying recursions for the inverse transform of the combined fraction. The extraction of a first-order term from a given polynomial fraction is carried out in terms of the evaluation of zi at time functions. In the application to linear time-varying systems, it is proved that the VIT transform of the system output is equal to the product of the VIT transform of the input and the VIT transform of the unit-pulse response function. For systems given by a time-varying moving average or an autoregressive model, the transform framework is used to determine the steady-state output response resulting from various signal inputs such as the step and cosine functions.
