Constrained output feedbacks for singularly perturbed imperfectly known nonlinear systems H.S. Binning, D.P. Goodall* Control Theory and Applications Centre, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry CV1 5FB, UK Received 9 March 1998; accepted 21 July 1998

Abstract Global attractors are investigated for a class of imperfectly known, singularly perturbed, nonlinear systems subject to control constraints. The uncertain systems are modelled as nonlinear perturbations to a known nonlinear idealized system. The model is represented by two time-scale systems involving a scalar singular perturbation parameter, which reduces to a system of lower order when the singular perturbation parameter is set to zero. A class of constrained static output feedback controllers is developed which guarantees global attractivity of a compact set, containing the state origin, for all values of the singular perturbation parameter less than some threshold value.  1999 The Franklin Institute.

1. Introduction Often, in many systems, problems due to the coexistence of slow and fast dynamics in the plant to be controlled can arise. These problems can be addressed utilizing singular perturbation theory (for more details see [1] or, for a differential-geometric approach, see [2, 3]). For dynamical systems with the above behaviour, the plant may be modelled as a set of n differential equations, representing the slow subsystem, and

l differential equations modelling the fast dynamics which are dependent upon a small positive real (perturbation) parameter. Loosely speaking, the singular perturbation parameter can be interpreted as some type of estimate of the ‘‘ratio’’ between the slow and fast dynamics. It is assumed that the set of n#l differential equations degenerates to the set of n differential equations, known as the reduced-order system, when the perturbation parameter is set to zero. Many stabilizing controllers for singularly perturbed systems have been constructed utilizing Lyapunov’s second method (see e.g., [4]). For singularly perturbed systems with uncertainty, design of deterministic stabilizing controls have been investigated using a Lyapunov-based approach in [5—13] to name but a few. The main objective of this paper is to design, using a deterministic approach, a class of robust output feedback controls for singularly perturbed uncertain systems, subject to control constraints, in order to achieve a stability property relating to existence of compact sets, containing the origin, which are global uniform attractors for the reduced-order and full-order systems. The stability analysis is similar to that used in [10] but, here, the reduced-order system is based on a nonlinear affine control system. For the problem of synthesizing a class of output feedbacks for the unconstrained problem, see [6]. A preliminary version of this paper was presented in [5].

2. Full-order singularly perturbed system Consider a singularly perturbed uncertain dynamical system consisting of coupled subsystems with the following structure:  f (x)#F (x) y#G (x)u#h (t, x, y, u, k), xR (t)"a(t, x(t), y(t), u(t), k) " (1a)      A(t) [ f (x)#y#G (x) u]#h (t, x, y, u, k), (1b) kyR (t)"b(t, x(t), y(t), u(t), k) "    z(t)"r(x(t), y(t)),

(1c)

The dimension of the output space coincides with the dimension of the slow subsystem and the full-order system is defined on 1L>l. It is assumed that the vector fields f 3C(1L) and f 3C(1l) are   known and satisfy f (0)"0, f (0)"0, F (x)3L(1l , 1L) (the set of all continuous    linear maps from 1l into 1L), G (x)3L(1K, 1L) and G (x)3L(1K, 1l) are known.   The uncertainty in the system is represented by A(t), a Lebesgue measurable matrixvalued function, and the vector fields h , h , which are smooth, that is h 3C(1L) and    h 3C(1l).  Remarks. The structure specified in Eqs. (1a)—(1c) admits a large nontrivial class of uncertain systems. For example, the uncertain system (discussed in [10]) xR (t)"Ax(t)#[B#*B(t)] y (t)#d(t, x(t)), x31L,

y , u31K, 

and sensor dynamics kyR (t)"[C #*C (t)] (y (t)!x(t)), y 31L,      and output z(t)"y (t), where *B(t), *C (t), *C (t) and d(t, x(t)) model uncertainty    in the system, can be identified with Eqs. (1a)—(1c). In this case, the model without uncertainty is essentially linear in nature. An example of a nonlinear model, that represents a nonlinear flexible mechanical system, is xR (t)"x (t), x (t), x (t)31     xR (t)"(1#i(t)) [k sin(x (t))!I (k y (t)#k y (t))]!d(t)  A  ? ?  @  kyR (t)"y (t), y (t), y (t)31     kyR (t)"(1#i(t)) [I\I (K x (t)#K x (t)#k sin(x (t)))  ? @     A  !I (k y (t)#k y (t))!u(t)!k(I !I ) qN (t, x (t))], @ ?  @  @ ?  with input u(t)31 and output z(t)"[x (t) x (t)]2, where i(t), d(t) and qN (t, x (t))    model uncertainty in the system. This model can also be identified with Eqs. (1a)—(1c). Furthermore, a nonlinear electromechanical system considered in [8] is a candidate for the structure described in Eqs. (1a)—(1c). It is assumed that the uncertainty in the second subsystem (1b) is characterized by the following hypotheses: For a linear map ¸, the notation #¸# denotes +max p(¸2¸),, where p( ) ) denotes spectrum. Assumption 1. (a) For all t, there exists , 3[0,  #P #\) and A 3L(1l, 1l) such     that A(t)"A #AK (t),

(b) Analogous to the characterization of uncertainty for linear systems (see, e.g., [14]), the vector fields p, q are said to represent the matched and unmatched components, respectively, of the uncertainty in the nonlinear reduced-order system.

4. Class of constrained output feedback controls It is supposed that the constraints " u (t) ")o , ∀t*t , i"1, 2, 2 , m, (6) G G  where o '0 are prescribed, are now imposed on the control inputs of system G (1a)—(1c). It is desired that a class of output feedback controls, satisfying the prescribed constraints, be designed so that (a) there exists a compact set, containing the origin, which is a global uniform attractor for the reduced-order system (5a)—(5b) in the sense of Definition 4.1 (given below), and (b) the full-order system has the same stability property in the presence of singular perturbations for all k3(0, k*), where k* is some computable real constant. The design procedure is such that the output feedback control functions depend on a design parameter e. Definition 4.1. Let !L1N be a compact set satisfying !5+0," and let ! (r) N denote the open unit ball of radius r centred at the origin in 1N. The set ! is a global uniform attractor for the system fQ (t)"Z(t, f(t)), f(t)31N

(7)

if (a) for each (t , f)31;1N, there exists a local solution f: [t , t )P1N satisfying    Eq. (7) a.e. with f(t )"f and every such local solution can be extended into  a solution on [t ,R);  (b) for each r31>, there exists R(r)31> such that, for every t 31, f(t)3! (R(r)) for  N all t*t on every solution f : [t ,R)P1N with f(t )3! (r);    N (c) for each d31>, there exists D(d)31> such that, for every t 31, f(t)3!#! (d)  N for all t*t on every solution f : [t ,R)P1N with f (t )3!#! (D(d));    N (d) for each d, r31>, there exists ¹(d, r)31> such that, for every t 31,  f(t)3!#! (r) for all t't #¹(d, r) on every solution f: [t ,R)P1N of Eq. (7) N   with f(t )3! (d).  N The synthesis of an output feedback controller z>w(z) follows the design methodology of [6, 10]. Note that in the absence of uncertainty for the reduced order system and if r(x, y)"x, for all (x, y)31L>l, then the output feedback law !(¸ v ) (z(t)) renders the zero-state of system (5a)—(5b) as a global uniform u(t) " EG

The formula that is provided to compute a threshold value of k, namely (18), often produces a very conservative value and examples have suggested that the value may differ from the true threshold value by a factor of at least 10. Other examples have suggested that some systems may be sensitive to the value of k in the sense that for a certain value of k there exists a compact attractor, but the system becomes unstable when k is changed by a relatively small amount. Theorem 6.2. Suppose Assumptions 1—7 are satisfied and k3(0, k*) is fixed. If s'0, then, with u(t)"w(z(t)) (defined in Eqs. (8) and (9)), c '0, cJ *1 for all i and, if G a #a O0, c satisfies Eq.

Proof. See Appendix A.5. ) Under additional assumptions, the asymptotic behaviour of the solution of the controlled full-order system can be shown to tend to that of the controlled reducedorder system, as seen in the following corollary. Corollary 6.1. Suppose the conditions stated in ¹heorem 6.2 hold, then the set E(r ) is I a global uniform attractor under the dynamics of system (1a)—(1c). Moreover, if

In addition, Figs. 2—4 show the state trajectories when the singular perturbation parameter has the value k"0.1, k"0.45 and k"0.46, respectively.

The theory predicts that k*+0.001, which is a conservative estimate for the threshold value, and a global attractor exists for the full-order system when k(k*.
