Riccati matrix

In general, for a second-order system, when Q is a diagonal matrix and R is a scalar quantity, the elements of the Riccati matrix P are... 

In reverse-time, starting with P(A ) = 0 at NT = 20 seconds, compute the state feedback gain matrix K(kT) and Riccati matrix P(kT) using equations (9.29) and (9.30). Aiso in reverse time, use the desired state vector r(/c7 ) to drive the tracking equation (9.53) with the boundary condition s(N) = 0 and hence compute the command vector y kT). 

Continue the recursive steps until the solution settles down (when k = 50, or kT = 5 seconds) and hence determine the steady-state value of the feedback matrix K(0) and Riccati matrix P(0). What are the closed-loop eigenvalues ... 

Chapter 5 considers optimal regulator control problems. The Kalman linear quadratic regulator (LQR) problem is developed, and this optimal multivariable proportional controller is shown to be easily computable using the Riccati matrix differential equation. The regulator problem with unmeasurable... 

An alternative procedure is the dynamic programming method of Bellman (1957) which is based on the principle of optimality and the imbedding approach. The principle of optimality yields the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation, whose solution results in an optimal control policy. Euler-Lagrange and Pontrya-gin s equations are applicable to systems with non-linear, time-varying state equations and non-quadratic, time varying performance criteria. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is usually solved for the important and special case of the linear time-invariant plant with quadratic performance criterion (called the performance index), which takes the form of the matrix Riccati (1724) equation. This produces an optimal control law as a linear function of the state vector components which is always stable, providing the system is controllable. 

It can be shown that the constrained functional minimization of equation (9.48) yields again the matrix Riccati equations (9.23) and (9.25) obtained for the LQR, combined with the additional set of reverse-time state tracking equations... 

The remaining task lies in the determination of the control matrix X and observer matrix Z such that the sufficient condition for robust performance, Eq. (22.28), holds. A Lyapunov-based approach is employed to obtain these two matrices. After some lengthy and complicated manipulations of Eq. (22.29) and the control structure shown in Fig. 22.3, the following two Riccati equations are derived, whose positive-definite solutions correspond to the control and observer matrices, X and Z. 

The gain factors c, i=l,...,4 are obtained by minimizing a time-invariant quadratic performance index by the solution of the steady state matrix RICCATI-equation. 

The success of MPC is based on a number of factors. First, the technique requires neither state space models (and Riccati equations) nor transfer matrix models (and spectral factorization techniques) but utilizes the step or impulse response as a simple and intuitive process description. This nonpara-metric process description allows time delays and complex dynamics to be represented with equal ease. No advanced knowledge of modeling and identification techniques is necessary. Instead of the observer or state estimator of classic optimal control theory, a model of the process is employed directly in the algorithm to predict the future process outputs. 

For numerical investigations of stress localizations in laminates, the discretizational effort can be reduced significantly if only the boundary needs to be discretized, as it is for e -ample the case in the classical boundary element method (BEM). But in this method a fundamental solution is needed which is in many cases difficult to achieve or even unknown. The Boundary Finite Element Method (BFEM) to be presented here does not require such a fundamental solution, because the element formulation is based on the finite element method (FEM), Thus the BFEM can be characterized to be a finite element based boundary discretization method. This method was originally developed from Wolf and Song [10] under the name Consistent Finite Element Cell Method for time-dependent problems in soil-mechanics. The basic assumption of this method is that a stiffness matrix describing the force-displacement relation at discrete degrees of freedom at the boundary of the continuum is scalable with respect to one point in three-dimensional space, the so-called similarity center, if similar contours within the continuum are considered. In contrast to this, the current work deals with the case of equivalent cross-sectional properties, i.e., that cross-sections parallel to the boundary can be described by the same stiffness matrix, which is the appropriate formulation for the case of the free-edge effect and the matrix crack problem. The boundary stiffness matrix results from a Matrix-Riccati equation. The field quantities inside of the continuum can be calculated from an ordinary differential equation. 

Inserting the matrices (14) and the expression (24) for the inverse Kg/ in equation (22) and performing the limit /t 0 results in the following Matrix-Riccati equation for the unknown elastic stiffness matrix K°° ...

In the above equation, we have written explicitly the fock matrix conbibutions and used implicit summation conventions over m and n. A detailed derivation of Eq. 14 from Eq. 12 is shown in Appendix 4. These Riccati equations can be solved by a transformation to the pseudo-canonical basis, as described in Appendix 3. 

To derive the iterative resolution of the Riccati equations seen in Eq. 12, we write explicitly the fock matrix contributions hidden in the matfix e. The matrix elements in canonical virtual orbitals, read ... 

Note that the transformation X fX does not brings us back to the canonical virtual orbitals. We can write the transformation by the orthogonal matrix X as — ab where a and b are pseudo-canonical virtual orbitals that diagonalize the fock matrix expressed in POOs. The Riccati equations of Eq. 50 are transformed separately for each pair [ij] in the basis of the pseudo-canonical virtual orbitals that diagonalize fpoo ... 

The terms in the Riccati equations containing the matrix then read (we use implicit summations over m and n) ... 

Remember that the matrices are of dimension Apoo X Apoo- Due to the nonorthogonality of the POOs and the non diagonal structure of the fock matrix, the usual simple updating scheme for the solution of the Riccati equations should be modified in a similar fashion as in the local coupled cluster theory [29]. The fock matrix in... 

Solving the above differential equations, P(t) and m,(t) are computed, and then from Eq. 26, the feedback matrix K(t) and the control force F(t) are calculated. Equation 24 is called Riccati equation ...
