...Matthew Vossler; Tarunraj Singh The focus of this paper is on the design of shaped profiles subject to transient state constraints and terminal energy limits. The issue of robustness to modeling errors is addressed by formulating a minimax optimization problem in a linear programming framework...

...Tarunraj Singh The focus of this paper is on the design of robust input shapers where the maximum value of the cost function over the domain of uncertainty is minimized. This nonlinear programming problem is reformulated as a linear programming problem by approximating a n -dimensional hypersphere...

..., a nonlinear spring element is included into the model. The constitutive relation of the nonlinear spring and the parameters of the basic elements in the model are identified from experimental data by linear programming. Simulations of the identified model indicate that the model can reproduce the major...

...Edgar de Gelder; Marc van de Wal; Carsten Scherer; Camile Hol; Okko Bosgra A new method is proposed to design a feedforward controller for electromechanical servo systems. The settling time is minimized by iteratively solving a linear programming problem. A bound on the amplitude of the feedforward...

... through the convex combination of the transfer matrices of n sample systems. A linear programming problem is solved to give the combination vector for this convex combination. With the closed-loop transfer matrix given, the mechanical design parameters, the closed-loop controller structure and its gains...

... and controlled invariance are utilized. It is shown that a memoryless periodically varying nonlinear controller can be constructed to achieve near-optimal performance. The construction involves the solution of several finite linear programs and generalizes to the periodic case earlier work on linear time...
