State space analysis

We now return to the use of state space representation that was introduced in Chapter 4. As you may have guessed, we want to design control systems based on state space analysis. State feedback controller is very different from the classical PID controller. Our treatment remains introductory, and we will stay with linear or linearized SISO systems. Nevertheless, the topics here should enlighten( ) us as to what modem control is all about. 

Apparently as an independent development, A.R. Johnson (1988a) proposed the idea of using a multivariate approach to the analysis of multispecies toxicity tests. This state space analysis is based upon the common representation of complex and dynamic systems as an n-dimensional vector. In other words, the...

The concepts of transient response of any order control systems, digital control systems and state-space analysis can be taught very effectively with the help of control simulation tool.

Higher-order linear differential equations can be converted to a discrete-time, difference equation model using a state-space analysis (Astrom and Wittenmark, 1997). 

Thus, the next step in the problem-solving analysis is to use information about the domain of the problem, in this case flowshop scheduling, and information about dominance and equivalence conditions that is pertinent to the overall problem formulation, in this case as a state space, to convert the experience into a form that can be used in the future problem-solving activity. 

Before showing how the logical analysis will be carried out, it is useful to describe the sufficient theory we will be using for the specific flowshop example. This theory is not restricted to flowshop scheduling, but applies to many state-space problems. 

It may be useful to point out a few topics that go beyond a first course in control. With certain processes, we cannot take data continuously, but rather in certain selected slow intervals (c.f. titration in freshmen chemistry). These are called sampled-data systems. With computers, the analysis evolves into a new area of its own—discrete-time or digital control systems. Here, differential equations and Laplace transform do not work anymore. The mathematical techniques to handle discrete-time systems are difference equations and z-transform. Furthermore, there are multivariable and state space control, which we will encounter a brief introduction. Beyond the introductory level are optimal control, nonlinear control, adaptive control, stochastic control, and fuzzy logic control. Do not lose the perspective that control is an immense field. Classical control appears insignificant, but we have to start some where and onward we crawl. 

From the last example, we may see why the primary mathematical tools in modem control are based on linear system theories and time domain analysis. Part of the confusion in learning these more advanced techniques is that the umbilical cord to Laplace transform is not entirely severed, and we need to appreciate the link between the two approaches. On the bright side, if we can convert a state space model to transfer function form, we can still make use of classical control techniques. A couple of examples in Chapter 9 will illustrate how classical and state space techniques can work together. 

This completes our "feel good" examples. It may not be too obvious, but the hint is that linear system theory can help us analysis complex problems. We should recognize that state space representation can do everything in classical control and more, and feel at ease with the language of... 

In the following we will be mostly concerned with the analysis of linear, stochastic models in the standard state space form ... 

Because the mapping approach treats electronic and nuclear dynamics on the same dynamical footing, its classical limit can be employed to study the phase-space properties of a nonadiabatic system. With this end in mind, we adopt a onemode two-state spin-boson system (Model IVa), which is mapped on a classical system with two degrees of freedom (DoF). Studying various Poincare surfaces of section, a detailed phase-space analysis of the problem is given, showing that the model exhibits mixed classical dynamics [123]. Furthermore, a number of periodic orbits (i.e., solutions of the classical equation of motion that return to their initial conditions) of the nonadiabatic system are identified and discussed [125]. It is shown that these vibronic periodic orbits can be used to analyze the nonadiabatic quantum dynamics [126]. Finally, a three-mode model of nonadiabatic photoisomerization (Model III) is employed to demonstrate the applicability of the concept of vibronic periodic orbits to multidimensional dynamics [127]. 

To determine the state space model with system Identification, responses of the nonlinear model to positive and negative steps on the Inputs as depicted in Figure 4 were used. Amplitudes were 20 kW for P,, . 4 1/s for and. 035 1/s for Q. The sample interval for the discrete-time model was chosen to be 18 minutes. The software described In ( 2 ) was used for the estimation of the ARX model, the singular value analysis and the estimation of the approximate... 

The method of lines and system identification are not restricted in their applicability. System identification is preferred because the order of the resulting state space model is significantly lower. Another advantage of system Identification is that it can directly be applied on experimental data without complicated analysis to determine the kinetic parameters. Furthermore, no model assumptions are required with respect to the form of the kinetic expressions, attrition, agglomeration, the occurence of growth rate dispersion, etc. 

In the development of a general state-space representation of the reactor, all possible control and expected disturbance variables need to be identified. In the following analysis, we will treat the control and disturbance variables identically to develop a model of the form... 

Quantum computation exploits entanglement. The simplest kind of quantum computer is an n-qubit register, i.e., a system of n electrons. Each electron is a spin-1/2 particle so, by the analysis we did in Section 10.2, the state space is... 

The quasispin classification of the ligand-field-split states was detailed in Ref. [19] following Judd s analysis for the rotation group. This problem turns out to have some subtleties, for example, the difficulty Ceulemans [10] discusses (and resolves) when bestowing a pseudo-angular momentum on his f2 subshell. From Judd [5] and Wyboume [19] we note the following. The total subshell state space is ... 

It can be easily argued that the choice of the process model is crucial to determine the nature and the complexity of the optimization problem. Several models have been proposed in the literature, ranging from simple state-space linear models to complex nonlinear mappings. In the case where a linear model is adopted, the objective function to be minimized is quadratic in the input and output variables thus, the optimization problem (5.2), (5.4) admits analytical solutions. On the other hand, when nonlinear models are used, the optimization problem is not trivial, and thus, in general, only suboptimal solutions can be found moreover, the analysis of the closed-loop main properties (e.g., stability and robustness) becomes more challenging. 

The analysis of multiple-time-scale systems can, however, be carried out by extending the methods used for analyzing two-time-scale systems presented in Section 2.2. In analogy with two-time-scale systems, in the limiting case as e —> 0, the dimension of the state space of the system in Equations (B.l) collapses... 

The original linear prediction and state-space methods are known in the nuclear magnetic resonance literature as LPSVD and Hankel singular value decomposition (HSVD), respectively, and many variants of them exist. Not only do these methods model the data, but also the fitted model parameters relate directly to actual physical parameters, thus making modelling and quantification a one-step process. The analysis is carried out in the time domain, although it is usually more convenient to display the results in the frequency domain by Fourier transformation of the fitted function. 

Everything that we have done so far in this example is completely standard. The next step in which we identify the slow fundamental thermodynamic relation in the state space M2 (i.e., we illustrate the point (IV) (see (120))) is new. Having found the slow manifold Msiow in an analysis of the time evolution in Mi, we now find it from a thermodynamic potential. We look for the thermodynamic potential ip(q,p, e, //. q, e, v) so that the manifold Msiow arises as a solution to...
