Derivative-Free Data-Driven Control of Continuous-Time Linear Time-Invariant Systems

Alessandro Bosso, Marco Borghesi, Andrea Iannelli, Giuseppe Notarstefano, Andrew R. Teel

Abstract

This paper develops a data-driven stabilization method for continuous-time linear time-invariant systems with theoretical guarantees and no need for signal derivatives. The framework, based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), is illustrated in the state-feedback and single-input single-output output-feedback scenarios. Similar to discrete-time approaches, we rely solely on input and state/output measurements. To avoid differentiation, we employ low-pass filters of the available signals that, rather than approximating the derivatives, reconstruct a non-minimal realization of the plant. With access to the filter states and their derivatives, we can solve LMIs derived from sample batches of the available signals to compute a dynamic controller that stabilizes the plant. The effectiveness of the framework is showcased through numerical examples.

Key Result

Lemma 1

Under Assumption hyp:ctrb, for all $\lambda$ and all $\gamma \neq 0$, the observable and controllable subsystem of eq:filter_state_compact obeys the same dynamics of eq:plant_state, with state $\xi \in {\mathbb{R}}^n$.
