We consider the problem of designing a stabilizing and optimal static controller with a pre-specified sparsity pattern. Since this problem is NP-hard in general, it is necessary to resort to approximation approaches. In this paper, we characterize a class of convex restrictions of this problem that are based on designing a separable quadratic Lyapunov function for the closed-loop system. This approach generalizes previous results based on optimizing over diagonal Lyapunov functions, thus allowing for improved feasibility and performance. Moreover, we suggest a simple procedure to compute favourable structures for the Lyapunov function yielding high-performance distributed controllers. Numerical examples validate our results.

We address the problem of designing optimal linear time-invariant (LTI) sparse controllers for LTI systems, which corresponds to minimizing a norm of the closed-loop system subject to sparsity constraints on the controller structure. This problem is NP-hard in general and motivates the development of tractable approximations. We characterize a class of convex restrictions based on a new notion of Sparsity Invariance (SI). The underlying idea of SI is to design sparsity patterns for transfer matrices Y(s) and X(s) such that any corresponding controller K(s)=Y(s)X(s)^-1 exhibits the desired sparsity pattern. For sparsity constraints, the approach of SI goes beyond the notion of Quadratic Invariance (QI): 1) the SI approach always yields a convex restriction; 2) the solution via the SI approach is guaranteed to be globally optimal when QI holds and performs at least as well as considering a nearest QI subset. Moreover, the notion of SI naturally applies to designing structured static controllers, while QI is not utilizable. Numerical examples show that even for non-QI cases, SI can recover solutions that are 1) globally optimal and 2) strictly more performing than previous methods.
This paper studies the problem of decentralized measurement feedback stabilization of nonlinear interconnected systems. As a natural extension of the recent development on control vector Lyapunov functions, the notion of output control vector Lyapuno v function (OCVLF) is introduced for investigating decentralized measurement feedback stabilization problems. Sufficient conditions on (local) stabilizability are discussed which are based on the proposed notion of OCVLF. It is shown that a decentralized controller for a nonlinear interconnected system can be constructed using these conditions under an additional vector dissipation-like condition. To illustrate the proposed method, two examples are given.
In this work, we propose a robust approach to design distributed controllers for unknown-but-sparse linear and time-invariant systems. By leveraging modern techniques in distributed controller synthesis and structured linear inverse problems as appli ed to system identification, we show that near-optimal distributed controllers can be learned with sub-linear sample complexity and computed with near-linear time complexity, both measured with respect to the dimension of the system. In particular, we provide sharp end-to-end guarantees on the stability and the performance of the designed distributed controller and prove that for sparse systems, the number of samples needed to guarantee robust and near optimal performance of the designed controller can be significantly smaller than the dimension of the system. Finally, we show that the proposed optimization problem can be solved to global optimality with near-linear time complexity by iteratively solving a series of small quadratic programs.
This paper presents a novel scalable framework to solve the optimization of a nonlinear system with differential algebraic equation (DAE) constraints that enforce the asymptotic stability of the underlying dynamic model with respect to certain distur bances. Existing solution approaches to analogous DAE-constrained problems are based on discretization of DAE system into a large set of nonlinear algebraic equations representing the time-marching schemes. These approaches are not scalable to large size models. The proposed framework, based on LaSalles invariance principle, uses convex Lyapunov functions to develop a novel stability certificate which consists of a limited number of algebraic constraints. We develop specific algorithms for two major types of nonlinearities, namely Lure, and quasi-polynomial systems. Quadratic and convex-sum-of-square Lyapunov functions are constructed for the Lure-type and quasi-polynomial systems respectively. A numerical experiment is performed on a 3-generator power network to obtain a solution for transient-stability-constrained optimal power flow.
We propose a learning-based method for Lyapunov stability analysis of piecewise affine dynamical systems in feedback with piecewise affine neural network controllers. The proposed method consists of an iterative interaction between a learner and a ve rifier, where in each iteration, the learner uses a collection of samples of the closed-loop system to propose a Lyapunov function candidate as the solution to a convex program. The learner then queries the verifier, which solves a mixed-integer program to either validate the proposed Lyapunov function candidate or reject it with a counterexample, i.e., a state where the stability condition fails. This counterexample is then added to the sample set of the learner to refine the set of Lyapunov function candidates. We design the learner and the verifier based on the analytic center cutting-plane method, in which the verifier acts as the cutting-plane oracle to refine the set of Lyapunov function candidates. We show that when the set of Lyapunov functions is full-dimensional in the parameter space, the overall procedure finds a Lyapunov function in a finite number of iterations. We demonstrate the utility of the proposed method in searching for quadratic and piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions.
