Stability Analysis of Adaptive Model Predictive Control Using the Circle and Tsypkin Criteria
<|reference_start|>Stability Analysis of Adaptive Model Predictive Control Using the Circle and Tsypkin Criteria: Absolute stability is a technique for analyzing the stability of Lur'e systems, which arise in diverse applications, such as oscillators with nonlinear damping or nonlinear stiffness. A special class of Lur'e systems consists of self-excited systems (SES), in which bounded oscillations arise from constant inputs. In many cases, SES can be stabilized by linear controllers, which motivates the present work, where the goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptive model predictive control for Lur'e systems. In particular, the present paper considers predictive cost adaptive control (PCAC), which is equivalent to a linear, time-variant (LTV) controller. A closed-loop Lur'e system comprised of the positive feedback interconnection of the Lur'e system and the PCAC-based controller can thus be derived at each step. In this work, the circle and Tsypkin criteria are used to evaluate the absolute stability of the closed-loop Lur'e system, where the adaptive controller is viewed as instantaneously linear time-invariant. When the controller converges, the absolute stability criteria guarantee global asymptotic stability of the asymptotic closed-loop dynamics.<|reference_end|>
