A Novel Method for Optimal Control of Piecewise Affine Systems Using Semi-Definite Programming
2020
In this paper, a novel optimal control design method by discontinuous quadratic Lyapunov function and continuous quadratic Lyapunov function for 2-dimensional piecewise affine systems via semi-definite programming with LMI constraints is proposed. At the first, an upper bound for a quadratic cost function for a stable closed-system is obtained. Then after, considering a state-feedback control approach, not only sufficient conditions for the stability of the closed-loop system but also the upper bound of the cost function are obtained. The optimization problem is formulated as a semi-definite programming with bilinear constraints (BMI). Some variables in BMIs are searched by genetic algorithm, so the bilinear constraints are converted to linear constraints and the controller coefficients are calculated. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical examples.
Convergent piecewise affine systems: analysis and design Part II: discontinuous case
Proceedings of the 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2005
In this paper convergence properties of piecewise affine (PWA) systems with discontinuous right-hand sides are studied. It is shown that for discontinuous PWA systems existence of a common quadratic Lyapunov function is not sufficient for convergence. For discontinuous bimodal PWA systems necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic convergence, i.e. convergence with a quadratic Lyapunov function, are derived.
Stability of piecewise affine systems through discontinuous piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions
2017 IEEE 56th Annual Conference on Decision and Control (CDC)
State-dependent switched systems characterized by piecewise affine (PWA) dynamics in a polyhedral partition of the state space are considered. Sufficient conditions on the vectors fields such that the solution crosses the common boundaries of the polyhedra are expressed in terms of quadratic inequalities constrained to the polyhedra intersections. A piecewise quadratic (PWQ) function, not necessarily continuous, is proposed as a candidate Lyapunov function (LF). The sign conditions and the negative jumps at the boundaries are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) via conecopositivity. A sufficient condition for the asymptotic stability of the PWA system is then obtained by finding a PWQ-LF through the solution of a set LMIs. Numerical results with a conewise linear system and an opinion dynamics model show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Quadratic stabilization and control of piecewise-linear systems
1998
We consider analysis and controller synthesis of piecewise-linear systems. The method is based on constructing quadratic and piecewise-quadratic Lyapunov functions that prove stability and performance for the system. It is shown that proving stability and performance, or designing state-feedback controllers, can be cast as convex optimization problems involving linear matrix inequalities that can be solved very e ciently. A couple of simple examples are included to demonstrate applications of the methods described.
Low complexity control of piecewise affine systems with stability guarantee
2004
Piecewise affine systems are powerful models for describing both non-linear and hybrid systems. One of the key problems in controlling these systems is the inherent computational complexity of controller synthesis and analysis, especially if constraints on states and inputs are present. This paper illustrates how reachability analysis based on multi-parametric programming may serve to obtain controllers of low complexity. Specifically, two different controller computation schemes are presented. In addition, a method to obtain stability guarantees for general receding horizon control of PWA systems is given.

Piecewise linear Lyapunov functions are used to design control gain matrices so that closed systems are robust stable and attractive regions are expanded as large as possible in given polytopic regions. The design problems for these specifications are formulated as bilinear programming problems whose constraints are divided into two groups, namely, linear inequalities and bilinear inequalities. In order to solve the constrained optimization problems, this paper presents a genetic algorithm that differs from traditional ones based on penalty techniques. The genetic algorithm starts from a feasible solution and retains its offspring, or population, within feasible region. Besides the method creating such a starting point, several techniques are proposed to develop the diversity of population.
Stability analysis and controller synthesis for a class of piecewise smooth systems
2008
This thesis deals with the analysis and synthesis of piecewise smooth (PWS) systems. In general, PWS systems are nonsmooth systems, which means their vector fields are discontinuous functions of the state vector. Dynamic behavior of nonsmooth systems is richer than smooth systems. For example, there are phenomena such as sliding modes that occur only in nonsmooth systems. In this thesis, a Lyapunov stability theorem is proved to provide the theoretical framework for the stability analysis of PWS systems. Piecewise affine (PWA) and piecewise polynomial (PWP) systems are then introduced as important subclasses of PWS systems. The objective of this thesis is to propose efficient computational controller synthesis methods for PWA and PWP systems. Three synthesis methods are presented in this thesis. The first method extends linear controllers for uncertain nonlinear systems to PWA controllers. The result is a PWA controller that maintains the performance of the linear controller while e...

This paper presents a hybrid procedure to solve Model Predictive Controller (MPC) for Piecewise Affine System (PWA) The approach presented here belong to the class of Branch and Bound (B&B) methods. The procedure uses the concepts of reachable set combined to the specific B&B methods, in order to reduce the number of Quadratic Problems (QP) needed to be solved by the optimization algorithm.
