Feedback control of nonlinear differential algebraic systems using Hamiltonian function method

Abstract

The stabilization and H∞ control of nonlinear differential algebraic systems (NDAS) are investigated using the Hamiltonian function method. Firstly, we put forward a novel dissipative Hamiltonian realization (DHR) structure and give the condition to com- plete the Hamiltonian realization. Then, based on the DHR, we present a criterion for the stability analysis of NDAS and construct a stabilization controller for NDAS in absence of disturbances. Finally, for NDAS in presence of disturbances, the L2 gain is analyzed via generalized Hamilton-Jacobi inequality and an H∞ control strategy is constructed. The proposed stabilization and robust controller can effectively take advantage of the structural characteristics of NDAS and is simple in form.
