A Network Thermodynamic Framework for the Analysis and Control Design of Large-Scale Dynamical Systems

Abstract

The main goal of this report is to summarize the progress achieved under the program during the past three years. Since most of the technical results appeared, or soon will appear, in over 100 archival journals and conference publications, we shall only summarize results and remark on their significance and interrelationship. As part of this research program, we proposed the development of a general analysis and control design framework for large-scale nonlinear dynamical systems. In particular, we concentrate on hybrid control, hierarchical control, impulsive dynamical systems, non-negative dynamical systems, compartmental systems, large-scale systems, nonlinear switching control, and adaptive control. Application areas include large flexible interconnected space structures, vibration control of aerospace structures, spacecraft stabilization, biological systems, physiological systems, and pharmacological systems.
