Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Hybrid system, Multi-agent systems, Singular perturbation @article{nokey,For a class of hybrid systems, where jumps occur frequently, we analyze the stability of system trajectories in view of singularly perturbed dynamics. The specific model we consider comprises an interconnection of two hybrid subsystems, a timer which triggers the jumps, and some discrete variables to determine the index of the jump maps. The flow equations of these variables are singularly perturbed differential equations and, in particular, a smaller value of the singular perturbation parameter leads to an increase in the frequency of the jump instants. For the limiting value of this parameter, we consider a decomposition that comprises a quasi-steady-state system modeled by a differential equation without any jumps and a boundary-layer system described by purely discrete dynamics. Under appropriate assumptions on the quasi-steady-state system and the boundary-layer system, we derive results showing practical stability of a compact attractor when the jumps occur sufficiently often. As an application of our results, we discuss the control design problem in a network of second-order continuous-time coupled oscillators, where each agent communicates the information about its position to some of its neighbors at discrete times. Using the results developed in this article, we show that if the union of the communication graphs being used for information exchange between agents is connected, then the oscillators achieve practical consensus. |

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Hybrid system, Multi-agent system, Non-Linear Systems @inproceedings{nokey,To analyze the stability of a network of agents described by nonlinear oscillators which only exchange information about their position with some of its neighbors from time to time, we consider a theoretical framework of singularly perturbed hybrid systems. We describe such systems as an interconnection of two hybrid subsystems, a timer which triggers the jumps, and some discrete variables to determine the index of the jump maps. The flow equations of these variables are singularly perturbed differential equations, and in particular, smaller value of the singular perturbation parameter leads to increase in the frequency of the jump instants.

Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Hybrid system, Lyapunov function, Singular perturbation @inproceedings{nokey,This article considers the stability analysis for a class of hybrid systems with the focus being on the frequently occurring jump dynamics. The system class is modelled as a singularly perturbed hybrid system where the singular perturbation parameter governs the frequency of jumps. Consequently, this results in a quasi steady-state system modeled by a differential equation without any jumps, and the boundary-layer system described by purely discrete dynamics. By imposing appropriate assumptions on the quasi steady-state system and the boundary-layer system, we derive results showing practical convergence to a compact attractor when the jumps occur frequently often. Our system class is motivated by the control design problem in a network of second-order continuous-time coupled oscillators, where each agent communicates the information about its position to the neighbors at discrete times. As a corollary to our main result, we show that if the information exchange between the agents and their neighbors is frequent enough, then the oscillators achieve practical consensus. |

Jisu Kim / Hyungbo Shim / Jin Heon Seo State Estimation and Tracking Control for Hybrid Systems by Gluing the Domains Journal Article In: IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2019. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Hybrid system, Observer, Tracking @article{KimShimSeo19,We study the design problems of state observers and tracking controllers for a class of hybrid systems whose state jumps. The idea is to utilize the well-known method of gluing the jump set (a part of domain where the jumps take place) onto its image, which converts the hybrid system into a continuous-time system whose state does not jump. Sufficient conditions for this idea to be implemented are listed and discussed with a few concrete examples. In particular, we present a structural condition for an observer design, and, for tracking control, we introduce a feedback to compensate residual discontinuity in the vector field after gluing. The benefits of the proposed approach include that the observer design does not require detection of the state jumps, and that the tracking control does not require the plant state jumps when the reference jumps. |
