Subject: New book, Modelling and Control of Dynamical Systems
Modelling and Control of Dynamical Systems: Numerical Implementation
in a Behavioral Framework
This is a new book for Modelling and Control of Dynamical Systems from a
Behavioral perspective, paying special attention to algorithmic and
numerical issues, something never done before in this approach for systems
and control. The algorithms and pseudocodes are MATLAB-based and actually
the programs were run in MATLAB, although MAPLE and SCILAB were also used
very frequently.
A paradigmatic perspective for modeling and control of physical systems has
been used since a long time ago: The input/output approach.
Although quite natural for our human experience, this perspective imposes a
cause/effect framework to the system under study although such system may
not have necessarily such cause/effect structure. Actually, from a general
point of view, a system interacts with its environment by exchange of mass
and energy which should imply the use of bidirectional arrows in a block
diagram rather than using unidirectional ones.
Another perspective arose when a new variable showed up in systems and
control theory: the state (Kalman). Thus, the input/state/output approach
was born. Although the concept of state is cornerstone, qualitative
characteristics of a system (stability, controllability and observability)
have to be defined in terms of a representation of the system, i.e., such
characteristics become representation dependent.
In contrast, the relatively new Behavioral Approach for systems and control
(Jan C. Willems) deals directly with the solution of the differential
equations which represent the system. This set of allowed solutions is
referred to as the behavior of the system. Thus, the key is the behavior and
not the representation. This fact makes this perspective a representation
free approach.
This book reviews known topics of the Behavioral Approach and offers new
theoretic results with the advantage of including control algorithms
implemented numerically in the computer. In addition, issues of numerical
analysis are also included. The programs and algorithms are MATLAB based.
