This paper presents an open-loop, minimum-energy control law for attitude maneuver of a solar-sail. The proposed control law utilizes the magnetic torques and reaction wheels to reorient the solar-sail for near-earth missions. Using the calculus of variations and Pontryagin’s minimum principle, the necessary and sufficient conditions were derived for the nonlinear model of the solar-sail. Then the optimal control problem was formulated as a two-point boundary-value problem and solved via the Shooting method. The computed control law can be utilized in a flight-computer and in a sampled-data feedback closed-loop system which can compensate for disturbance torques.

Abstract This study focuses on the robust ${H}_{\infty }$ sampled-data control problem of neutral system for dynamic positioning (DP) ships. Using the input delay approach and a state-derivative control law, the ship DP system is turned into a neutral system with time-varying delays. By incorporating the delay-decomposition technique, Wirtinger-based integral inequality and an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, less conservative result is derived for the resulting system. Sufficient conditions are established to determine the system’s asymptotical stability and achieve ${H}_{\infty }$ performance using Lyapunov stability theorems. Then the ${H}_{\infty }$ sampled-data controller is obtained by analyzing the stabilization conditions. Finally, simulation result is shown that the proposed method is effective.

In this letter, we investigate the sampled-data state feedback control (SDSFC) problem of Boolean control networks (BCNs). Some necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the global stabilization of BCNs by SDSFC. Different from conventional state feedback controls, new phenomena observed the study of SDSFC. Based on the controllability matrix, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions under which the trajectories of BCNs can be stabilized to a fixed point by piecewise constant control (PCC). It is proved that the global stabilization of BCNs under SDSFC is equivalent to that by PCC. Moreover, algorithms are given to construct the sampled-data state feedback controllers. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.

Abstract In a Hilbert space setting, necessary and sufficient conditions for the minimum norm solution u to the equation Su = Rz to be continuously dependent on z are given. These conditions are used to study the continuity of minimum energy and linear-quadratic control problems for infinite dimensional linear systems with fixed endpoints.

Abstract The minimum energy control problem for the descriptor discrete-time linear systems by the use of Weierstrass-Kronecker decomposition is formulated and solved. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the reachability of descriptor discrete-time linear systems are given. A procedure for computation of optimal input and a minimal value of the performance index is proposed and illustrated by a numerical example.

A circle forming problem for a group of mobile agents governed by first-order system is investigated, where each agent can only sense the relative angular positions of its neighboring two agents with time delay and move on the one-dimensional space of a given circle. To solve this problem, a novel decentralized sampled-data control law is proposed. By combining algebraic graph theory with control theory, some necessary and sufficient conditions are established to guarantee that all the mobile agents form a pregiven circle formation asymptotically. Moreover, the ranges of the sampling period and the coupling delay are determined, respectively. Finally, the theoretical results are demonstrated by numerical simulations.

This paper is devoted to the control of linear systems with constrained control and rate or increment with additive bounded disturbances. Necessary and sufficient conditions such that the system evolution respects rate or increment constraints are used to derive stabilizing feedback control. The control law respects both constraints on control and its rate or increment and is robust against additive bounded disturbances. An application to a surface mount robot, where theY-axis of the machine uses a typical ball screw transmission driven by a DC motor to position circuits boards, is achieved.

AbstractA new formulation of the minimum energy control problem for the positive 2D continuous-discrete linear systems with bounded inputs is proposed. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the reachability of the systems are established. Conditions for the existence of the solution to the minimum energy control problem and a procedure for computation of an input minimizing the given performance index are given. Effectiveness of the procedure is demonstrated on numerical example.
