    Abstract
    The aim of this study is to reduce the computational load in model predictive control of multi-input nonlinear systems. First, the nonlinear system which has a high number of states and inputs is decomposed into several subsystems by solving a linear integer programming problem offline. Then, the model of each subsystem is revised by considering the effect of coupling and interactions of other subsystems. Next, the robust model predictive technique based on linear matrix inequalities is employed to compute control signal for each subsystem. An industrial chemical reaction example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2017 IEEE

    Abstract
    The goal of this project is finding an appropriate method for controlling four different bioreactors with unknown dynamics. At first, an introduction to bioreactor dynamic hase been presented, then their nonlinear behavior has been discussed. In the following, four output control systems using adaptive neural network have been designed separately for four different dynamics. The applied control method has been adapted from a method of references with some changes. Performances of designed controllers in set point tracking, load rejection and model mismatch have been evaluated using simulation. In these studies, input saturation has been considered in simulations but it is not existed in... 

    Control of Nonlinear Systems With Predefined Output Transient Performance

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kamal Amiri, Ali (Author) ; Shahrokhi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    This project is aimed to design a controller for nonlinear systems that satisfy a prescribed performance while guaranteeing close-loop stability. To do this, the controller must be designed in such a way that the transient response of the system has had these performance indices and does not exceed them. These performance indices predefine some constraints for systems’ output.A comprehensive form for the model system, the unknown dynamics of the system, consideration of a variety of constraints on the system input, usage of the time-finite method for the residence time and consideration of just one tuning parameter to reduce the computation load, are among the other benefits for the proposed...

    Abstract
    In this work, an adaptive observer-based control scheme has been designed for uncertain nonaffine nonstrict feedback systems subject to state time delay, various types of input nonlinearities, time-varying asymmetric state constraints, and unknown control direction. Compared to the existing controllers for systems with state constraints, the designed control scheme in this work can be applied to state-constrained systems with nonaffine structure subject to state delays, unknown control direction, and different types of input nonlinearities, while full-states measurement is not required. Moreover, by introducing a novel saturated Nussbaum function in the present work, not only has the problem...

    Abstract
    In this article, a fault-tolerant adaptive neural network fractional controller has been proposed for a class of uncertain multi-input single-output (MISO) incommensurate fractional-order non-strict nonlinear systems subject to five different types of unknown input nonlinearities, infinite number of actuators failures and arbitrary independent time-varying output constraints. The barrier Lyapunov function (BLF)-based backstepping technique and fractional Lyapunov direct method (FLDM) have been used to design the controller and establish system stability. To tackle the incommensurate derivatives problem, in each step of the backstepping technique, an appropriate Lyapunov function has been...

    Adaptive synchronization of two different uncertain chaotic systems with unknown dead-zone input nonlinearities

    , Article JVC/Journal of Vibration and Control ; Volume 26, Issue 21-22 , 2020 , Pages 1956-1968 Heidarzadeh, S ; Shahmoradi, S ; Shahrokhi, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    SAGE Publications Inc  2020
    Abstract
    The present work addresses chaos synchronization between two different general chaotic systems with parametric and structural uncertainties, subject to external disturbances and input dead-zone nonlinearities. In this regard, a novel robust controller has been designed that guarantees asymptotic stability of synchronization errors and boundedness of all closed-loop signals. One advantage of the proposed controller over the existing control algorithms is using only one update law for estimating the structural uncertainties, external disturbances, and unknown characteristics of the dead-zone nonlinearities, which reduces the computational burden considerably. The designed controller is...

    Observer-Based Controller Design for Nonlinear Fractional Order Systems

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rahmani Nooshabadi, Ali (Author) ; Shahrokhi, Mohammad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this study, an adaptive controller design for nonlinear fractional order systems in the strict-feedback form has been investigated. The system is subject to unknown dynamics, unmeasured state variables, quantized input and output, and input nonlinearity. A linear observer is used to solve the problem of unmeasured state variables. The fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the unknown functions, and instead of updating all the regressor weights, only the upper bound of their norms is updated, which significantly reduces the computational load. In the controller design, limitations due to the bandwidth of data transmission have been considered by applying quantizers in the input and output...

    In this paper, a novel decentralized adaptive control scheme for multiagent formation control is proposed based on an integration of artificial potential functions with robust control techniques. Fully actuated mobile agents with partially unknown models are considered, where an adaptive fuzzy logic system is used to approximate the unknown system dynamics. The robust performance criterion is used to attenuate the adaptive fuzzy approximation error and external disturbances to a prescribed level. The advantages of the proposed controller can be listed as robustness to input nonlinearity, external disturbances, and model uncertainties, and applicability on a large diversity of autonomous...
