Design of the Impulsive Goodwin's Oscillator in 1-cycle

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic approach to design a hybrid oscillator that admits an orbitally stable periodic solution of a certain type with pre-defined parameters. The parsimonious structure of the Impulsive Goodwin's oscillator (IGO) is selected for the implementation due to its well-researched rich nonlinear dynamics. The IGO is a feedback interconnection of a positive third-order continuous-time LTI system and a nonlinear frequency and amplitude impulsive modulator. A design algorithm based on solving a bilinear matrix inequality is proposed yielding the slope values of the modulation functions that guarantee stability of the fixed point defining the designed periodic solution. Further, assuming Hill function parameterizaton of the pulse-modulated feedback, the parameters of those rendering the desired stationary properties are calculated. The character of perturbed solutions in vicinity of the fixed point is controlled through localization of the multipliers. The proposed design approach is illustrated by a numerical example. Bifurcation analysis of the resulting oscillator is performed to explore the nonlinear phenomena in vicinity of the designed dynamics.
