Adaptive Data-Driven Control for Linear Time Varying Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an adaptive data-driven control approach for linear time varying systems, affected by bounded measurement noise. The plant to be controlled is assumed to be unknown, and no information in regard to its time varying behaviour is exploited. First, using set-membership identification techniques, we formulate the controller design problem through a model-matching scheme, i.e., designing a controller such that the closed-loop behaviour matches that of a given reference model. The problem is then reformulated as to derive a controller that corresponds to the minimum variation bounding its parameters. Finally, a convex relaxation approach is proposed to solve the formulated controller design problem by means of linear programming. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by means of two simulation examples.
