Preview Tracking Control for Continuous-Time Singular Interconnected Systems

Abstract EN

This paper proposes and investigates a problem of preview tracking control for a class of continuous-time singular interconnected systems.

Firstly, the related items are deleted to obtain several isolated subsystems with low dimensions.

An error system is constructed for each isolated subsystem so that the tracking error is included in the state vector of the error system; then, the tracking problem is transformed into a regulation problem.

Secondly, the preview tracking controller is designed for each error system and obtained controllers are combined as the controller of the error system of the singular interconnected system.

Thirdly, the Lyapunov function method is utilized to determine the constraints of the related terms so that the closed-loop system of the error system of the singular interconnected system is stable under the action of the controller obtained.

Finally, the preview tracking controller of the singular interconnected system is obtained from the relationship between the error system and the original system.

A numerical simulation algorithm for continuous-time singular systems is also proposed in this paper.

The numerical simulation illustrates the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
