ADAPTIVE AND ROBUST PREDICTORS FOR MULTI-INPUT LINEAR SYSTEMS WITH DISTRIBUTED DELAYS

摘要

This paper presents a systematic predictor method to stabilize uncertain multi-input linear systems with different distributed input delays. Multi-input linear plants with distributed actuator delays come with five types of uncertainties: unknown and distinct delays in multi-input control channels, unknown delay kernels, unknown plant parameters in the system matrix, unmeasurable finite-dimensional plant states, and unmeasurable infinite-dimensional actuator states. In the paper, we address three combinations of the five uncertainties above, which is the most relevant subset among the important problems in predictor-based control.
