Minimax Adaptive Control and Estimation

Kjellqvist, Olle LU orcid (2024)
Abstract
This thesis presents five papers on minimax adaptive control and estimation. Minimax adaptive estimation is a framework for output prediction and state estimation that provides a priori computable performance bounds for esti- mators. Minimax adaptive controllers ensure that the closed loop has finite gain, maintaining stability and performance under model class uncertainty.
The contributions of these papers are as follows: Paper I: Presents a min- imax optimal output prediction algorithm for linear systems with parameter uncertainty. Paper II: Proposes an algorithm to compute performance bounds for minimax adaptive estimators. Paper III: Develops a minimax suboptimal adaptive controller for scalar linear systems with noisy...

This thesis presents five papers on minimax adaptive control and estimation. Minimax adaptive estimation is a framework for output prediction and state estimation that provides a priori computable performance bounds for esti- mators. Minimax adaptive controllers ensure that the closed loop has finite gain, maintaining stability and performance under model class uncertainty.
The contributions of these papers are as follows: Paper I: Presents a min- imax optimal output prediction algorithm for linear systems with parameter uncertainty. Paper II: Proposes an algorithm to compute performance bounds for minimax adaptive estimators. Paper III: Develops a minimax suboptimal adaptive controller for scalar linear systems with noisy measurements. Paper IV: Introduces a class of nonlinear systems for which minimax dual control admits a finite-dimensional sufficient statistic, builds dynamic programming theory around this class, and designs an adaptive controller for stabilizing an integrator from absolute-value measurements. Paper V: Provides a unified framework for state-feedback and output-feedback minimax adaptive control and methods for synthesizing suboptimal controllers. Complementing these theoretical contributions are two software artifacts: one for adaptive control and the other for adaptive estimation.
The contributions apply to simple systems that represent components of larger systems, marking a step towards automating controller synthesis and maintenance for critical infrastructures. (Less)
