We present an optimization-based framework for analysis and control of linear parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with spatially varying coefficients without discretization or numerical approximation. For controller synthesis,…
In this paper we use SOS and SDP to design output feedback controllers for a class of one-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations with point measurements and point actuation. Our approach is based on the use of SOS to search…
One of the desirable objectives in feedback control design is to formulate and solve the design problem as an optimisation problem that is convex, so that an optimal solution can be found efficiently. Unfortunately many control design…
This work presents a convex-optimization-based framework for analysis and control of nonlinear partial differential equations. The approach uses a particular weak embedding of the nonlinear PDE, resulting in a linear equation in the space…
We present a method for synthesizing dynamic, reduced-order output-feedback polynomial control policies for control-affine nonlinear systems which guarantees runtime stability to a goal state, when using visual observations and a learned…
Optimal controller synthesis is a bilinear problem and hence difficult to solve in a computationally efficient manner. We are able to resolve this bilinearity for systems with delay by first convexifying the problem in infinite-dimensions -…
This paper addresses the problem of control synthesis for nonlinear optimal control problems in the presence of state and input constraints. The presented approach relies upon transforming the given problem into an infinite-dimensional…
The present paper addresses the topic of boundary output feedback stabilization of parabolic-type equations, governed by linear differential operators which can be diagonalized by the introduction of adequate weighting functions (by means…
The control Lyapunov function (CLF) approach to nonlinear control design is well established. Moreover, when the plant is control affine and polynomial, sum-of-squares (SOS) optimization can be used to find a polynomial controller as a…
In this paper, we present an approach for designing feedback controllers for polynomial systems that maximize the size of the time-limited backwards reachable set (BRS). We rely on the notion of occupation measures to pose the synthesis…
A novel nonlinear feedback control design methodology for incompressible fluid flows aiming at the optimisation of long-time averages of flow quantities is presented. It applies to reduced-order finite-dimensional models of fluid flows,…
In this paper, we present a methodology for stability analysis of a general class of systems defined by coupled Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) with spatially dependent coefficients and a general class of boundary conditions. This…
This paper is concerned with optimal control problems for parabolic partial differential equations with pointwise in time switching constraints on the control. A standard approach to treat constraints in nonlinear optimization is…
This paper deals with the backstepping design of observer-based compensators for parabolic ODE-PDE-ODE systems. The latter consist of n coupled parabolic PDEs with distinct diffusion coefficients and spatially-varying coefficients, that are…
The paper presents a nonlinear state-feedback control design approach for long-time average cost control, where the control effort is assumed to be expensive. The approach is based on sum-of-squares and semi-definite programming techniques.…
Many problems of systems control theory boil down to solving polynomial equations, polynomial inequalities or polyomial differential equations. Recent advances in convex optimization and real algebraic geometry can be combined to generate…
The two main contributions of this paper are a proof of concept of the recent novel idea in the area of long-time average cost control, and a new method of overcoming the well-known difficulty of non-convexity of simultaneous optimization…
The synthesis problem of static output feedback controllers within the anistropic-norm setup is revisited. A tractable synthesis approach involving iterations over a convex optimization problem is suggested, similarly to existing results…
This paper presents a convex optimization-based solution to the design of state-feedback controllers for solving the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem of uncertain discrete-time systems with multiplicative noise. To synthesize a…
In this paper we investigate infinite horizon optimal control problems for parametrized partial differential equations. We are interested in feedback control via dynamic programming equations which is well-known to suffer from the curse of…
