Stochastic Distribution Control System Design: A Convex Optimization Approach

by Lei Guo, Hong Wang

Overview

A recent development in SDC-related problems is the establishment of intelligent SDC models and the intensive use of LMI-based convex optimization methods. Within this theoretical framework, control parameter determination can be designed and stability and robustness of closed-loop systems can be analyzed. This book describes the new framework of SDC system design and provides a comprehensive description of the modelling of controller design tools and their real-time implementation. It starts with a review of current research on SDC and moves on to some basic techniques for modelling and controller design of SDC systems. This is followed by a description of controller design for fixed-control-structure SDC systems, PDF control for general input- and output-represented systems, filtering designs, and fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) for SDC systems. Many new LMI techniques being developed for SDC systems are shown to have independent theoretical significance for robust control andFDD problems.

About the Author

Author 1: Professor Lei Guo:

2003–present: Full professor with research activities on shastic control, nonlinear control, filter design and fault detection, in Institute of Automation, BUAA, Beijing, P R China. He is also affiliated as a full professor with Research Institute of Automation, Southeast University, China.

2002–2003: Research fellow at Dept. Paper Science, UMIST, Manchester, UK.

2001–2002: Research associate in Department of Automobile and Aeronautical Engineering, Loughborough University, UK;

2000–2001: Research associate in Department of Mechanical Engineering, Glasgow University, UK;

1999–2000: Postdoctoral research fellow in IRCCyN, CNRS, Nantes, France, sponsored by Pays de la Loire project.

Following Professor Guo's previous work on shastic distribution control at UMIST, his recent research is mainly focused on the new developments of non-Gaussian filtering algorithms for signal processing and the shape control of shastic distributions using LMIs. This includes the developments of nonlinear observers and LMI techniques for adaptive tuning rules for nonlinear systems.

Professor Lei Guo will (with John Bailleul of Boston University) be general chair of the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and Chinese Control Conference being held jointly in Shanghai in December 2009.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

“The book deals with numerous methods of the design of shastic distribution control systems. … It includes the recent results and presents the dynamic development of research in this field. Since the shastic distribution control is an interesting approach as well from theoretical point of view as in many applications the publishing of this book seems to be very valuable. … The book provides complementary material for graduate courses.” (Leslaw Socha, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1226, 2012)
