A systematic procedure for determining the stability and oscillations of pulse-width modulated (PWM) feedback control systems under Gaussian disturbances is presented. The method is based upon statistical linearisation and the equivalent gain concept developed by Sridhar and Oldenburger. Equivalent gain formulas for general pulse-width modulated systems were developed and evaluated. Using these formulas a typical PWM system was studied. It was found that the predicted results agreed closely with the results obtained from computer simulation.

Inverse problems have applications in many branches of science and engineering. In this paper we propose a new approach to solving inverse problems which is based on using concepts from feedback control systems to determine the inverse of highly nonlinear, discontinuous, and ill-conditioned input-output relationships. The method uses elements from least squares solutions that are formed within a control loop. The stability and convergence of the inverse solution are established. Several examples demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.

AbstractChemical reaction networks based on catalysis, degradation, and annihilation may be used as building blocks to construct a variety of dynamical and feedback control systems in Synthetic Biology. DNA strand-displacement, which is based on DNA hybridisation programmed using Watson-Crick base pairing, is an effective primitive to implement such reactions experimentally. However, experimental construction, validation and scale-up of nucleic acid control systems is still significantly lagging theoretical developments, due to several technical challenges, such as leakage, crosstalk, and toehold sequence design. To help the progress towards experimental implementation, we provide here designs representing two fundamental classes of reference tracking control circuits (integral and state-feedback control), for which the complexity of the chemical reactions required for implementation has been minimised. The supplied ‘minimally complex’ control circuits should be ideal candidates for first experimental validations of nucleic acid controllers.
