Optimal Control for Time-Delay Bilinear Systems with Sinusoidal Disturbances

This paper considers the optimal control problem for time-delay bilinear systems affected by sinusoidal disturbances with known frequency and measurable amplitude and phase. Firstly, using the differential homeomorphism, a timedelay bilinear system affected by sinusoidal disturbances is changed to a time-delay pseudo linear system through the coordinate transformation. Then the system with time-delay in control variable is transformed to a linear controllable system without delay using model transformation. At last based on the theory of linear quadratic optimal control, an optimal control law which is used to eliminate the influence of the disturbances is derived from a Riccati equation and Matrix equations. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the method.


Introduction
Bilinear system is a class of systems that is derived by introducing the interactive product term of the state variable and the control variable in the linear state equations.It is a rather special nonlinear system, which exists widely in the engineering community of electric, mechanical, biological, chemical and other fields.The study of the bilinear system starts in the 50's, then becomes an important branch of nonlinear system and made a series of research results.Fang proposed a method of research the stability of MIMO bilinear system [1]; the output-feedback control for bilinear system was studied by Sasaki [2]; a global feedback stability analysis method of bilinear system was presented by Jerbi [3].In the real Industrial process control, time-delay is ubiquity and the mathematical models put forward from engineering technology, physical, chemical and biomedical had obvious delay amount, which can not be neglected in some accurate control systems.Tang had studied optimal disturbance rejection problem for time-delay system in recent years [4].Meanwhile, various forms of external disturbances exist on the control system, such as sinusoidal disturbance, periodic perturbation, step disturbance, etc.So it has important actual meanings to study time-delay bilinear system affected by external disturbance [5].This paper proposed an optimal control design method for time-delay bilinear systems affected by sinusoidal disturbances based on state-feedback linearization [6,7].Based on the differential homeomorphism, the model of the system that is researched is changed to a time-delay pseudo linear system through the coordinate transition, then through delay-free transform, the time-delay pseudo linear system is converted to an easy pseudo linear system.At last, an optimal control law which is used to eliminate the influence of the disturbances is derived from a Riccati equation and Matrix equations [8,9].It is shown that the method is easy to realize and has a good convergence.
