Gray-box identification is prevalent in modeling physical and networked systems. However, due to the non-convex nature of the gray-box identification problem, good initial parameter estimates are crucial for a successful application. In this paper, a new identification method is proposed by exploiting the low-rank and structured Hankel matrix of impulse response. This identification problem is recasted into a difference-of-convex programming problem, which is then solved by the sequential convex programming approach with the associated initialization obtained by nuclear-norm optimization. The presented method aims to achieve the maximum impulse-response fitting while not requiring additional (non-convex) conditions to secure non-singularity of the similarity transformation relating the given state-space matrices to the gray-box parameterized ones. This overcomes a persistent shortcoming in a number of recent contributions on this topic, and the new method can be applied for the structured state-space realization even if the involved system parameters are unidentifiable. The method can be used both for directly estimating the gray-box parameters and for providing initial parameter estimates for further iterative search in a conventional gray-box identification setup.

A new framework for nonlinear system identification is presented in terms of optimal fitting of stable nonlinear state space equations to input/output/state data, with a performance objective defined as a measure of robustness of the simulation error with respect to equation errors. Basic definitions and analytical results are presented. The utility of the method is illustrated on a simple simulation example as well as experimental recordings from a live neuron.
In this paper, we present a realization and an identification algorithm for stochastic Linear Parameter-Varying State-Space Affine (LPV-SSA) representations. The proposed realization algorithm combines the deterministic LPV input output to LPV state- space realization scheme based on correlation analysis with a stochastic covariance realization algorithm. Based on this realization algorithm, a computationally efficient and statistically consistent identification algorithm is proposed to estimate the LPV model matrices, which are computed from the empirical covariance matrices of outputs, inputs and scheduling signal observations. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown via a numerical case study.
A barrier certificate often serves as an inductive invariant that isolates an unsafe region from the reachable set of states, and hence is widely used in proving safety of hybrid systems possibly over the infinite time horizon. We present a novel con dition on barrier certificates, termed the invariant barrier-certificate condition, that witnesses unbounded-time safety of differential dynamical systems. The proposed condition is by far the least conservative one on barrier certificates, and can be shown as the weakest possible one to attain inductive invariance. We show that discharging the invariant barrier-certificate condition -- thereby synthesizing invariant barrier certificates -- can be encoded as solving an optimization problem subject to bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). We further propose a synthesis algorithm based on difference-of-convex programming, which approaches a local optimum of the BMI problem via solving a series of convex optimization problems. This algorithm is incorporated in a branch-and-bound framework that searches for the global optimum in a divide-and-conquer fashion. We present a weak completeness result of our method, in the sense that a barrier certificate is guaranteed to be found (under some mild assumptions) whenever there exists an inductive invariant (in the form of a given template) that suffices to certify safety of the system. Experimental results on benchmark examples demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.
The identification of structured state-space model has been intensively studied for a long time but still has not been adequately addressed. The main challenge is that the involved estimation problem is a non-convex (or bilinear) optimization problem . This paper is devoted to developing an identification method which aims to find the global optimal solution under mild computational burden. Key to the developed identification algorithm is to transform a bilinear estimation to a rank constrained optimization problem and further a difference of convex programming (DCP) problem. The initial condition for the DCP problem is obtained by solving its convex part of the optimization problem which happens to be a nuclear norm regularized optimization problem. Since the nuclear norm regularized optimization is the closest convex form of the low-rank constrained estimation problem, the obtained initial condition is always of high quality which provides the DCP problem a good starting point. The DCP problem is then solved by the sequential convex programming method. Finally, numerical examples are included to show the effectiveness of the developed identification algorithm.
Blind system identification is known to be a hard ill-posed problem and without further assumptions, no unique solution is at hand. In this contribution, we are concerned with the task of identifying an ARX model from only output measurements. Driven by the task of identifying systems that are turned on and off at unknown times, we seek a piecewise constant input and a corresponding ARX model which approximates the measured outputs. We phrase this as a rank minimization problem and present a relaxed convex formulation to approximate its solution. The proposed method was developed to model power consumption of electrical appliances and is now a part of a bigger energy disaggregation framework. Code will be made available online.
