We address the problem of dynamic output feedback stabilization at an unobservable target point. The challenge lies in according the antagonistic nature of the objective and the properties of the system: the system tends to be less observable as it approaches the target. We illustrate two main ideas: well chosen perturbations of a state feedback law can yield new observability properties of the closed-loop system, and embedding systems into bilinear systems admitting observers with dissipative error systems allows to mitigate the observability issues. We apply them on a case of systems with linear dynamics and nonlinear observation map and make use of an ad hoc finite-dimensional embedding. More generally, we introduce a new strategy based on infinite-dimensional unitary embeddings. To do so, we extend the usual definition of dynamic output feedback stabilization in order to allow infinite-dimensional observers fed by the output. We show how this technique, based on representation theory, may be applied to achieve output feedback stabilization at an unobservable target.

Output feedback stabilization of control systems is a crucial issue in engineering. Most of these systems are not uniformly observable, which proves to be a difficulty to move from state feedback stabilization to dynamic output feedback stabilization. In this paper, we present a methodology to overcome this challenge in the case of dissipative systems by requiring only target detectability. These systems appear in many physical systems and we provide various examples and applications of the result.
In this paper, we investigate the estimator-based output feedback control problem of multi-delay systems. This work is an extension of recently developed operator-value LMI framework for infinite-dimensional time-delay systems. Based on the optimal convex state feedback controller and generalized Luenberger observer synthesis conditions we already have, the estimator-based output feedback controller is designed to contain the estimates of both the present state and history of the state. An output feedback controller synthesis condition is proposed using SOS method, which is expressed in a set of LMI/SDP constraints. The simulation examples are displayed to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed results.
Output-based controllers are known to be fragile with respect to model uncertainties. The standard $mathcal{H}_{infty}$-control theory provides a general approach to robust controller design based on the solution of the $mathcal{H}_{infty}$-Riccati equations. In view of stabilizing incompressible flows in simulations, two major challenges have to be addressed: the high-dimensional nature of the spatially discretized model and the differential-algebraic structure that comes with the incompressibility constraint. This work demonstrates the synthesis of low-dimensional robust controllers with guaranteed robustness margins for the stabilization of incompressible flow problems. The performance and the robustness of the reduced-order controller with respect to linearization and model reduction errors are investigated and illustrated in numerical examples.
In this paper, for linear time-invariant plants, where a collection of possible inputs and outputs are known a priori, we address the problem of determining the communication between outputs and inputs, i.e., information patterns, such that desired control objectives of the closed-loop system (for instance, stabilizability) through static output feedback may be ensured. We address this problem in the structural system theoretic context. To this end, given a specified structural pattern (locations of zeros/non-zeros) of the plant matrices, we introduce the concept of essential information patterns, i.e., communication patterns between outputs and inputs that satisfy the following conditions: (i) ensure arbitrary spectrum assignment of the closed-loop system, using static output feedback constrained to the information pattern, for almost all possible plant instances with the specified structural pattern; and (ii) any communication failure precludes the resulting information pattern from attaining the pole placement objective in (i). Subsequently, we study the problem of determining essential information patterns. First, we provide several necessary and sufficient conditions to verify whether a specified information pattern is essential or not. Further, we show that such conditions can be verified by resorting to algorithms with polynomial complexity (in the dimensions of the state, input and output). Although such verification can be performed efficiently, it is shown that the problem of determining essential information patterns is in general NP-hard. The main results of the paper are illustrated through examples.
Recently developed control methods with strong disturbance rejection capabilities provide a useful option for control design. The key lies in a general concept of disturbance and effective ways to estimate and compensate the disturbance. This work extends the concept of disturbance as the mismatch between a system model and the true dynamics, and estimates and compensates the disturbance for multi-input multi-output linear/nonlinear systems described in a general form. The results presented do not need to assume the disturbance to be independent of the control inputs or satisfy a certain matching condition, and do not require the system to be expressible in an integral canonical form as required by algorithms previously described in literature. The estimator and controller are designed under a state tracking framework, and sufficient conditions for the closed-loop stability are presented. The performance of the resulting controller relies on a co-design of the system model, the state and disturbance observer, and the controller. Numerical experiments on a first-order system and an inverted pendulum under uncertainties are used to illustrate the control design method and demonstrate its efficacy.
