State-space self-tuning controllers for general multivariable stochastic systems

This paper presents a state-space approach for self-tuning control of a more general class of multivariable stochastic systems having a number of inputs equal or different from the number of outputs. The dynamic system is represented in the state-space innovation form with Luenberger's canonical structures. The model parameters and the Kalman gain are identified via either the extended least-squares algorithm or the least-squares ladder algorithm. The Kalman gain matrix and states can be estimated from the identified parameters without utilizing the standard state estimation algorithm. A long division method is introduced for finding the similarity transformation matrix.

Fast and stable recursive algorithms for continuous-time and discrete-time model conversions

Based on the Newton-Raphson method, this paper presents recursive algorithms that are rapidly convergent and more stable for modeling the equivalent continuous-time (discrete-time) model from the available discrete-time (continuous-time) model for a fixed sampling period. The newly developed recursive algorithms relax the constraints imposed upon the existing model conversion algorithms, and, thus, enhance the applications of microprocessors and associated microelectronics to digital control systems. A practical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed procedures.

On identifying transfer functions and state equations for linear systems.

Two methods are established for identifying constant-coefficient, C to the 2n power type of noise-free linear systems if the time response data of the input-output or of all states are known. 2n response data are required to identify an nth-order transfer function or state equation for an unknown linear system. The order of the unknown system can be identified by checking a sequence of determinants. The Z transform and its inversion are mainly used.
