Observer design typically requires the observability of the underlying system, which may be hard to verify for nonlinear systems, while guaranteeing asymptotic convergence of errors, which may be insufficient in order to satisfy performance conditions in finite time. This paper develops a method to design Luenberger-type observers for nonlinear systems which guarantee the largest possible domain of attraction for the state estimation error regardless of the initialization of the system. The observer design procedure is posed as a two step problem. In the the first step, the error dynamics are abstractly represented as a linear equation on the space of Radon measures. Thereafter, the problem of identifying the largest set of initial errors that can be driven to within the user-specified error target set in finite-time for all possible initial states, and the corresponding observer gains, is formulated as an infinite-dimensional linear program on measures. This optimization problem is solved, using Lasserres relaxations via a sequence of semidefinite programs with vanishing conservatism. By post-processing the solution of step one, the set of gains that maximize the size of tolerable initial errors is identified in step two. To demonstrate the feasibility of the presented approach two examples are presented.

This paper considers the Hinfty-optimal estimation problem for linear systems with multiple delays in states, output, and disturbances. First, we formulate the Hinfty-optimal estimation problem in the Delay-Differential Equation (DDE) framework. Next, we construct an equivalent Partial Integral Equation (PIE) representation of the optimal estimator design framework. We then show that in the PIE framework, the Hinfty-optimal estimator synthesis problem can be posed as a Linear PI Inequality (LPI). LPIs are a generalization of LMIs to the algebra of Partial Integral (PI) operators and can be solved using the PIETOOLS toolbox. Finally, we convert the PIE representation of the optimal estimator back into an ODE-PDE representation - a form similar to a DDE, but with corrections to estimates of the infinite-dimensional state (the time-history). Numerical examples show that the synthesis condition we propose produces an estimator with provable Hinfty-gain bound which is accurate to 4 decimal places when compared with results obtained using Pade-based discretization.
This paper considers the optimal control for hybrid systems whose trajectories transition between distinct subsystems when state-dependent constraints are satisfied. Though this class of systems is useful while modeling a variety of physical systems undergoing contact, the construction of a numerical method for their optimal control has proven challenging due to the combinatorial nature of the state-dependent switching and the potential discontinuities that arise during switches. This paper constructs a convex relaxation-based approach to solve this optimal control problem. Our approach begins by formulating the problem in the space of relaxed controls, which gives rise to a linear program whose solution is proven to compute the globally optimal controller. This conceptual program is solved by constructing a sequence of semidefinite programs whose solutions are proven to converge from below to the true solution of the original optimal control problem. Finally, a method to synthesize the optimal controller is developed. Using an array of examples, the performance of the proposed method is validated on problems with known solutions and also compared to a commercial solver.
This paper presents a new method for solving a class of nonlinear optimal control problems with a quadratic performance index. In this method, first the original optimal control problem is transformed into a nonlinear two-point boundary value problem (TPBVP) via the Pontryagins maximum principle. Then, using the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM) and introducing a convex homotopy in topologic space, the nonlinear TPBVP is transformed into a sequence of linear time-invariant TPBVPs. By solving the presented linear TPBVP sequence in a recursive manner, the optimal control law and the optimal trajectory are determined in the form of infinite series. Finally, in order to obtain an accurate enough sub-optimal control law, an iterative algorithm with low computational complexity is introduced. An illustrative example demonstrates the simplicity and efficiency of proposed method.
In this paper, we investigate a constrained optimal coordination problem for a class of heterogeneous nonlinear multi-agent systems described by high-order dynamics subject to both unknown nonlinearities and external disturbances. Each agent has a private objective function and a constraint about its output. A neural network-based distributed controller is developed for each agent such that all agent outputs can reach the constrained minimal point of the aggregate objective function with bounded residual errors. Two examples are finally given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the algorithm.
In this technical note, we investigate an optimal output consensus problem for heterogeneous uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems. The considered agents are described by high-order nonlinear dynamics subject to both static and dynamic uncertainties. A two-step design, comprising sequential constructions of optimal signal generator and distributed partial stabilization feedback controller, is developed to overcome the difficulties brought by nonlinearities, uncertainties, and optimal requirements. Our study can not only assure an output consensus, but also achieve an optimal agreement characterized by a distributed optimization problem.
