Abstract The well-known theory of disturbance rejection control and the experience of using a generalized technique with universal fault model for building observers and regulators for the estimation and compensation of disturbances and unmodeled or uncertain effects as well, could be used for controlling dynamic systems with time varying parameters and nonlinearities. Based on a linear time-invariant model the effects of non-linearities and unmodeled dynamics are estimated by an extended observer scheme. Using this information these dynamic effects will be compensated by the developed compensation scheme. Here also different compensation techniques of disturbance rejection control are discussed, compared, and modified. The simulation example of an inverted flexible pendulum shows the efficiency of the method controlling an unstable mechanical system without exact knowledge of structure and parameters of nonlinearity and time-variance.

The active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) design based on the sensitivity function is studied for the linear time-invariant SISO minimum-phase system with unknown order and uncertain relative degree. It is proved that ADRC can reject the disturbance and guarantee the close-loop stability provided that the relative degree of such plant is bounded.

As is well known, the variational equations of nonlinear dynamic systems are linear time-varying (LTV) by nature. In the modal solutions for these LTV equations, the earlier introduced dynamic eigenvalues play a key role. They are closely related to the Lyapunov- and Floquet-exponents of the corresponding nonlinear systems. In this contribution, we present some simple examples for which analytic solutions exist. It is also demonstrated by example how the classical linear time-invariant (LTI) solutions are related to the equilibrium points of the general LTV solutions.

This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of dynamic linear systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which conform a linear time-varying polytopic dynamic system with a finite number of time-varying time-differentiable point delays. The parameterizations may be timevarying and with bounded discontinuities and they can be subject to mixed regular plus impulsive controls within a sequence of time instants of zero measure. The polytopic parameterization for the dynamics associated with each delay is specific, so that(q+1)polytopic parameterizations are considered for a system withqdelays being also subject to delay-free dynamics. The considered general dynamic system includes, as particular cases, a wide class of switched linear systems whose individual parameterizations are timeinvariant which are governed by a switching rule. However, the dynamic system under consideration is viewed as much more general since it is time-varying with timevarying delays and the bounded discontinuous changes of active parameterizations are generated by impulsive controls in the dynamics and, at the same time, there is not a prescribed set of candidate potential parameterizations.

Forensic analysis in this case involves the design of a communication system intended for use in Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) drive-thru lanes. This paper provides an overview of QSR communication system components and operation and introduces communication systems and channels. This paper provides an overview of non-linear, time-varying system design as contrasted with linear, time-invariant systems and discusses best design practices. It also provides the details of how audio quality was defined and compared for two potentially competing systems. Conclusions include that one of the systems was clearly inferior to the other — mainly due to not following design techniques that were available at the time of the project.

The applicability of a linear systems analysis of two-dimensional swing leg motion was investigated. Two different linear systems were developed. A linear time-varying system was developed by linearizing the nonlinear equations describing swing leg motion about a set of nominal system and control trajectories. Linear time invariant systems were developed by linearizing about three different fixed limb positions. Simulations of swing leg motion were performed with each of these linear systems. These simulations were compared to previously performed nonlinear simulations of two-dimensional swing leg motion and the actual subject motion. Additionally, a linear system analysis was used to gain some insight into the interdependency of the state variables and controls. It was shown that the linear time varying approximation yielded an accurate representation of limb motion for the thigh and shank but with diminished accuracy for the foot. In contrast, all the linear time invariant systems, if used to simulate more than a quarter of the swing phase, yielded generally inaccurate results for thigh shank and foot motion.
