A new procedure for optimization of linear time-varying dynamic systems has been proposed that uses transformations to embed the dynamic equations explicitly into the cost functional. This leads to elimination of Lagrange multipliers and characterization of the optimality equations by high-order differential equations in the same number of variables as number of control inputs. This procedure requires that the transformation matrix be nonsingular at all time within the domain. This paper extends this procedure to problems where a single nonsingular transformation matrix does not exist over the entire domain. In this paper, the time domain is partitioned into intervals such that a nonsingular transformation exists over each interval. The transformations are used to embed the dynamic equations into the cost functional. Variational analysis of the unconstrained cost functionals results in the optimality equations, which are solved efficiently by weighted residual methods. [S0739-3717(00)00601-2]

This article studies the parametric design of reduced-order functional observer (ROFO) for linear time-varying (LTV) systems. Firstly, existence conditions of the ROFO are deduced based on the differentiable nonsingular transformation. Then, depending on the solution of the generalized Sylvester equation (GSE), a series of fully parameterized expressions of observer coefficient matrices are established, and a parametric design flow is given. Using this method, the observer can be constructed under the expected convergence speed of the observation error. Finally, two numerical examples are given to verify the correctness and effectiveness of this method and also the aircraft control problem.

Existence of periodic solutions of fractional order dynamic systems is an important and difficult issue in fractional order systems field. In this paper, the non existence of completely periodic solutions and existence of partly periodic solutions of fractional order linear time varying periodic systems and fractional order nonlinear time varying periodic systems are discussed. A new property of Laplace transform of periodic function is derived. The non existences of completely periodic solutions of fractional order linear time varying periodic systems and fractional order nonlinear time varying periodic fractional order systems are presented by Laplace transform method and contradiction approach. The existence of partly periodic solutions of fractional order dynamic systems are proved by constructing numerical examples and considering Laplace transform property approaches. The examples and state figures are given to illustrate the effectiveness of conclusion presented.

Abstract Model reduction based upon the idea of eliminating coordinates with low levels of associated power, energy or activity has been proposed by a number of researchers. None of these results, however, produce the sort of computable bounds on the neglected dynamics that would be useful in the design of controllers with guaranteed robustness properties. This paper outlines an approach to model reduction based upon Lyapunov functions that represent a modified version of the system energy of Lagrangian subsystems. The Lyapunov functions are used to bound the states of subsystems to be removed, enabling these states to be treated as time-varying perturbations in a simplified set of dynamic equations. In contrast to other results in energy-based model reduction, this approach provides bounds on the disturbances caused by the unmodeled dynamics though at the cost of the implementation ease associated with other methods.

Abstract The well-known theory of disturbance rejection control and the experience of using a generalized technique with universal fault model for building observers and regulators for the estimation and compensation of disturbances and unmodeled or uncertain effects as well, could be used for controlling dynamic systems with time varying parameters and nonlinearities. Based on a linear time-invariant model the effects of non-linearities and unmodeled dynamics are estimated by an extended observer scheme. Using this information these dynamic effects will be compensated by the developed compensation scheme. Here also different compensation techniques of disturbance rejection control are discussed, compared, and modified. The simulation example of an inverted flexible pendulum shows the efficiency of the method controlling an unstable mechanical system without exact knowledge of structure and parameters of nonlinearity and time-variance.

As is well known, the variational equations of nonlinear dynamic systems are linear time-varying (LTV) by nature. In the modal solutions for these LTV equations, the earlier introduced dynamic eigenvalues play a key role. They are closely related to the Lyapunov- and Floquet-exponents of the corresponding nonlinear systems. In this contribution, we present some simple examples for which analytic solutions exist. It is also demonstrated by example how the classical linear time-invariant (LTI) solutions are related to the equilibrium points of the general LTV solutions.

This paper is devoted to the investigation of nonnegative solutions and the stability and asymptotic properties of the solutions of fractional differential dynamic linear time-varying systems involving delayed dynamics with delays. The dynamic systems are described based onq-calculus and Caputo fractional derivatives on any order.

This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of dynamic linear systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which conform a linear time-varying polytopic dynamic system with a finite number of time-varying time-differentiable point delays. The parameterizations may be timevarying and with bounded discontinuities and they can be subject to mixed regular plus impulsive controls within a sequence of time instants of zero measure. The polytopic parameterization for the dynamics associated with each delay is specific, so that(q+1)polytopic parameterizations are considered for a system withqdelays being also subject to delay-free dynamics. The considered general dynamic system includes, as particular cases, a wide class of switched linear systems whose individual parameterizations are timeinvariant which are governed by a switching rule. However, the dynamic system under consideration is viewed as much more general since it is time-varying with timevarying delays and the bounded discontinuous changes of active parameterizations are generated by impulsive controls in the dynamics and, at the same time, there is not a prescribed set of candidate potential parameterizations.
