Energy-Based Thermodynamic Stabilization Framework for Hybrid Control Design of Large-Scale Aerospace Systems

摘要

Controls research under this program has concentrated on the development of hybrid control, energy- and entropy based control, decentralized control, distributed control, cooperative control, and adaptive control. Specifically, a novel energy-based thermodynamic stabilization framework for hybrid control design of large-scale aerospace systems is developed. This framework provides a rigorous alternative to designing gain scheduled controllers for general nonlinear large-scale dynamical systems by constructing distributed and decentralized logic-based nonlinear controllers.
