Robustness Analysis for Identification and Control of Nonlinear Systems
This thesis concerns two problems of robustness in the modeling and control of nonlinear dynamical systems. First, I examine the problem of selecting a stable nonlinear state-space model whose open-loop simulations are to match experimental data. I provide a family of techniques for addressing this problem based on minimizing convex upper bounds for simulation error over convex sets of stable nonlinear models. I unify and extend existing convex parameterizations of stable models and convex upper bounds. I then provide a detailed analysis which demonstrates that existing methods based on these principles lead to significantly biased model estimates in the presence of output noise. This thesis contains two algorithmic advances to overcome these difficulties. First, I propose a bias removal algorithm based on techniques from the instrumental-variables literature. Second, for the class of state-affine dynamical models, I introduce a family of tighter convex upper bounds for simulation error which naturally lead to an iterative identification scheme. The performance of this scheme is demonstrated on several benchmark experimental data sets from the system identification literature. The second portion of this thesis addresses robustness analysis for trajectory-tracking feedback control applied to nonlinear systems. I introduce a family of numerical methods for computing regions of finite-time invariance (funnels) around solutions of polynomial differential equations. These methods naturally apply to non-autonomous differential equations that arise in closed-loop trajectory-tracking control. The performance of these techniques is analyzed through simulated examples.

Presenting current trends in the development and applications of intelligent systems in engineering, this monograph focuses on recent research results in system identification and control. The recurrent neurofuzzy and the fuzzy cognitive network (FCN) models are presented. Both models are suitable for partially-known or unknown complex time-varying systems. Neurofuzzy Adaptive Control contains rigorous proofs of its statements which result in concrete conclusions for the selection of the design parameters of the algorithms presented. The neurofuzzy model combines concepts from fuzzy systems and recurrent high-order neural networks to produce powerful system approximations that are used for adaptive control. The FCN model stems from fuzzy cognitive maps and uses the notion of “concepts” and their causal relationships to capture the behavior of complex systems. The book shows how, with the benefit of proper training algorithms, these models are potent system emulators suitable for use in engineering systems. All chapters are supported by illustrative simulation experiments, while separate chapters are devoted to the potential industrial applications of each model including projects in: • contemporary power generation; • process control and • conventional benchmarking problems. Researchers and graduate students working in adaptive estimation and intelligent control will find Neurofuzzy Adaptive Control of interest both for the currency of its models and because it demonstrates their relevance for real systems. The monograph also shows industrial engineers how to test intelligent adaptive control easily using proven theoretical results.
