This note addresses the problem of constrained variance design with minimizing LQG cost function via the method of covariance control incorporating the optimal estimation for nonlinear stochastic systems. The nonlinear stochastic systems are first linearized and then are examined by way of the technique of describing functions. Finally, an application of this approach to a position servomechanism is illustrated by a numerical example.

This paper is concerned with the variance-constrained controller design problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear stochastic systems with possible actuator faults. The stochastic nonlinearities described by statistical means are quite general that include several well-studied classes of nonlinearities as special cases. A model of actuator failures is adopted, which is more practical than the traditional outage one. A linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is proposed to solve the multiobjective fault-tolerant controller design problem, where both the exponential stability and the steady-state state variance indices are simultaneously guaranteed. Within the developed LMI framework, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the robust control problem is obtained. The explicit expression of the desired controllers is also parameterized and a single degree-of-freedom model is used to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed design approach.

In this paper, the covariance control algorithm for nonlinear stochastic systems using covariance feedback is studied. Covariance control of nonlinear systems scenario involves the theory of covariance control based on the idea of the covariance feedback. Therefore, the proposed covariance control algorithm is derived for our case, firstly by applying the covariance control method and linear approximation of nonlinear systems, and then it is achieved by adopting this method for a class of nonlinear stochastic systems by using feedback linearization idea and a covariance feedback controller. The effectiveness of the proposed covariance feedback algorithm is studied using numerous simulations concerning different nonlinear case studies.
