Quantized iterative learning control for impulsive differential inclusion systems with data dropouts

Abstract

This paper studies the quantized iterative learning control with encoding–decoding mechanism of a class of impulsive differential inclusion systems with random data dropouts. First, the set-valued mappings in the differential inclusion systems are transformed into single-valued mappings by using the Steiner-type selector. Then, a learning algorithm based on the intermittent update principle is designed to address the data asynchronism problem caused by two-sided data dropouts. If the data are successfully transmitted at the actuator and measurement sides, then the control input is effectively updated. Furthermore, a suitable scaling sequence is introduced to ensure the system output to achieve zero-error tracking performance for a desired trajectory. An upper bound of the quantization level is determined such that the quantization error is always bounded. The results show that the quantization method reduces the burden of network communication at the cost of increasing the amount of computation, and the learning algorithm does not require the data dropouts to satisfy a certain probability distribution. Finally, the effectiveness of the learning algorithm is verified by numerical simulations of the switched reluctance motor system.
