Convergence Analysis of Robust Iterative Learning Control Against Nonrepetitive Uncertainties: System Equivalence
Abstract:
This article is concerned with the robust convergence analysis of iterative learning control (ILC) against nonrepetitive uncertainties, where the contradiction between convergence conditions for the output tracking error and the input signal (or error) is addressed. A system equivalence transformation (SET) is proposed for robust ILC such that given any desired reference trajectories, the output tracking problems for general nonsquare multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) systems can be equivalently transformed into those for the specific class of square MIMO systems with the same input and output numbers. As a benefit of SET, a unified condition is only needed to guarantee both the uniform boundedness of all system signals and the robust convergence of the output tracking error, which avoids causing the condition contradiction problem in implementing the double-dynamics analysis approach to ILC. Simulation examples are included to demonstrate the validity of our established robust ILC results.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
