Hybrid Scheme of Solution to the Problems of Linear Acting on the Basis of Polyhedral Optimization Formalism

The problems of application of hybrid control systems for solution to the problems of linear speed is discussed. Hybrid systems include analog and discrete components whose dynamics is described by differential and difference equations respectively. In the proposed scheme of hybrid control the mechanism of amplitude-impulse modulation of analog control signals with the purpose of discretization of control problem is used. The discretization of the model of control object makes possible to apply methods of mathematical programming for optimization of discrete control processes.
The polyhedral methodology of formalization of discrete problems of linear speed is presented. The polyhedral formalism covers all key elements for the statement of control problem namely: purpose of control, the optimality criterion and resource constraints to control. The polyhedral constructions of convex analysis that is the polyhedral functions and the polyhedral norms are in its base. Algorithmization of the problems of polyhedral programming is based on the mathematical device and calculating methods of linear programming.
Three theoretical structures such as: the prediction extrapolation of controlled movements of the object, the principle of immersion of the input optimization problem in a number of more algorithmic ally simple computing problems and mechanism of extreme aiming compose the base of the suggested method for solving of discrete problems of linear speed.
The possibility of control by the process of discretized time in the considered hybrid system has the important applied implications. Due to the dynamic change of the discretization step the discrete model of the object will be retuned itself during control process and this fact gives the possibility of the essential reduction of the dimension of the problem being solved.
Keywords: linear speed, hybrid control scheme, the discretization of time, resource constraints, multistep prediction, polyhedral optimization, principle of immersion, extreme aiming

Feasible Set Approximation in Dynamic System State Guaranteed Estimation Problem under Condition of Uncertainty

The article describes guaranteed estimation of dynamic system state vector under condition of uncertainty when statistic information about disturbances, noises and initial state is unknown but sets of their possible values are available. In this case state estimation is performed with minimax filter which consists of a construction of feasible sets. Algorithm of construction feasible set approximation with polyhedron of any form is presented when disturbance, noise and initial state sets are polyhedrons given by linear inequalities systems. The article describes the construction of feasible set approximation using current measurement and saved for several previous steps information without performing intractable set operations. The algorithms are based on implicit description of feasible set with dynamic system state equations and linear inequalities describing disturbances, noises and initial state. Approximation construction is reduced to solving a number of linear programming problems. The algorithms are demonstrated with the numerical examples for two-dimensional system and six-dimensional system of fighter aircraft F-16. The comparison of feasible sets approximations and Kalman filter estimations is performed.
Keywords: dynamic systems, guaranteed estimation, minimax filter, linear inequalities systems, feasible sets approximation

Mathematical Model and Algorithm of Optimal Control Movable Object in Conflict Situation

Mathematical model and the algorithm of the numerical solution of optimal control, involved in conflict situations mobile controllable via the communication channels redundant system has been involved which a failure rate of components depending on the time and space to which you are moving the system is moving.
In the structure of the mathematical model of a moving object (system) there is a mathematical model of communication channels to control the object and mathematical model of the moving object moving in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Movable object consists of the main and reserve units, divided by the number of groups, each of which may be replaced failed during conflict core modules redundant in this group. This replacement is done with commands transmitted via communication channels, which are just able to refuse. The concept of the failure intensity per unit length of a single communication channel. Failure rate of primary and backup modules are functions of time and space in which the mobile system is moving.
Vector reservation is variable in time. At appropriate points of time called points system configuration commands can be spliced modules between groups (system setup). Each time from the vector configuration corresponds to the vector of system redundancy. Number of settings during the motion of a system at a given point in space is limited.
The behavior is involved in a conflict situation the moving system approximated by a Markov random process with a finite number of states corresponding to the number of failures in the system, and is described by differential equations with variable coefficients.
In the work the task of optimization of the choice and the trajectory of motion and spetial interim strategy reservation of the mobile system participating in the conflict in order to maximize its probability of faultless work at movement on the selected path including end point of the movement.
The problem is reduced to the problem of optimal control of a mobile system, where maximized functional quality management is the probability of failure-free operation and quality control are used, the trajectory of system and vectors configuration and redundancy when the relevant restrictions on control and motion parameters of the moving system in used as control.
The problem is solved by approximate numerical method based on the method of sampling and integer programming. The algorithm of numerical solution is used for the principle of consistent optimization.

Robotic Spacecraft Control Using an Unstable Libration Point

This article considers the navigation control problems of robotic spacecraft that is functioning both in the neighborhood of an unstable libration point of the Earth-Sun system and in the near-Earth space. The robotic spacecraft motion is considered under Hill’s circular restricted three-body problem approximation. The concept of special function of phase variables referred to as "hazard function" in this article is analyzed on the basis of a linearized system of equations of motion. Numerical analysis of controlled trajectories is carried out subject to the value of the "hazard function". Under the mathematical model being considered, it was shown that it is possible to maneuver in the near-Earth space with a return to the neighborhood of the collinear libration point and stabilize the orbital motion. It is thus proposed to use the property of the instability of the collinear libration point as a positive factor allowing to change the trajectory of motion significantly at the influence of a small control influence. Investigation results obtained in this work may be useful in developing projects related to solving the problems of asteroid and comet impact hazard. The numerical simulation results obtained are illustrated graphically.

System of Automatic Stabilization of Underwater Vehicle in Stationkeeping Regime with Working Multilink Manipulator. Part 2

In this paper the synthesis method of combined closed-loop automatic system of underwater vehicle position and orientation stabilization in stationkeeping regime is described. Underwater vehicle invariance to external influences created by working underwater manipulator is provided by thrusts of its screws. These thrusts are proportional to said external influences calculated in real time scale. For precise calculation of these effects modification of recursive algorithm for solving inverse problem of underwater manipulator dynamics was developed. Presented modification allows take into account all features of viscous environment influences on manipulator links committing random movements at high speed. To increase accuracy of stabilization of underwater vehicle additional automatic systems closed-loop at all linear and angular movement of this vehicle was synthesized. Said systems may use data obtained from high-precision navigation onboard sensors and devices.
Results of performed numerical simulations have confirmed high efficiency of developed approach to underwater vehicle stabilization in stationkeeping regime while high speed movement of underwater manipulator on complex spatial trajectories.

The Positioning Accuracy Research of Manipulator Output Member of Automated Electron Beam Production Complex

The paper presents the mathematical model of electron beam positioning during electron-beam welding. The model specialty is an electron beam deviations account (the deviation of perpendicularity, the joint centre beam deviation, the error of mechatronic modules) from an ideal position.
The developed mathematical model consists of: the positioning criterion assurance of electron beam on the joint; the conjugate error calculation of welding gun and/or workpiece manipulators; the dynamic characteristics analysis of welding gun and/or workpiece manipulators; the definition of accuracy solid sphere with radius Dr and centerpoint M with allowance for manipulators kinematic and dynamic properties of automated electron beam production complex (AEBPC). In case of 'missing' end points of output members of all complex manipulators in the obtained area of accuracy sphere, output member position is corrected taking into account total error of electromechanical complex AEBPC by inverse kinematics solving.
The analysis of research results is allowed to consider the gripper tips deviation of the real path in the process of manipulators positioning by forces, velocities and accelerations changing. The simulation results inclusion into control model of EBW process will enables to assure the program settings accuracy of EBW main parameters and thereby to improve the joints quality.

The Approach to Predict Values of Factors of Fire-Risk

The approach to forecasting of values of the factors causing fire-dangerous situations in fire and explosive productions is offered in the paper. As such factors are considered: indoors temperature, optical density of air, conducting resistance, resistance of isolation of conducting and air density of indoors. The forecast of values of these factors is based on use of an artificial neural network, as which it is accepted multilayered perceptron. The architecture, activation function and algorithm perceptron learning, which in total enable not only to distinguish of input data from learning sequence, but also to predict tendencies of their change with an admissible accuracy on time intervals, sufficient for adoption of reasonable decisions and measures for prevention of fire-dangerous situations are also offered. At essential change of operating conditions of productions is provided adaptation of perceptron to these conditions by its retraining on new retrospective data in real time.
The offered approach to values forecasting of factors of fire-dangerous situations can be used as a part of automated management systems on explosive and fire-dangerous productions. It will allow to significantly improve of operating conditions of these productions due to decision-making on timely elimination of possible fire-dangerous situations, and, as a result, to reduce damage, which they suffer in the case of fire emergence.

Solution of the Problem of Inertial Earth Navigation Using Information of Electronic Maps

An approach to solving the problem of navigation, based on the approximation of the movement trajectory of the object by means of electronic maps by set of great circle trajectories is considered.
For all objects moving from the known spatial trajectories, — air, land, maritime transport, the use of electronic maps allows to describe analytically the trajectory of an object by its piecewise constant approximation of height and piecewise Great Circle — on the sphere of the Earth. Because these models trajectories are formed on the base of cartographic information, they are invariant to the nature of an object’s motion and its physical model, making it all-purpose for any application to aerospace objects.
The paper analyzes the possibility of using great circle path model for solving the problem of navigation in order to reduce the computational cost with a stochastic estimation of the navigation parameters, as well as improve the accuracy of object positioning.
Navigation solution is seen in the Greenwich coordinate system using analytic relations arising between the Greenwich coordinates on the great circle path. Applying these ratios significantly simplifies the equation of the state vector of the navigation system while reducing the dimension of the observed parameters.
It is shown that the estimation of navigation parameters Gaussian filter implemented by great circle trajectory, first, has the lowest possible dimension, and secondly, in principle provides accurate snap count coordinates to the true trajectory of movement corresponding to the electronic map.
Keywords: inertial Earth navigation, electronic maps, great circle trajectory, Gaussian filter

Analytical Solution of the Optimal Aircraft Control System Reconfiguration Problem in Case of Actuators Failures

The article discusses the optimal approximation by analytical functions algorithm for solving the problem of aircraft control reconfiguration in case of different actuators failures. The algorithm is based on optimal analytical solution of linear matrix equation, where the analytical form of pseudoinverse matrix is formed with the help of skeleton matrix decomposition. The notion of approximate solvability conditions is introduced, which allows evaluating the accuracy of the solution in advance, before reconfiguration problem solving. Solvability and accuracy conditions are both based on Frobenius norms. However, the results can be generalized for any type of Schatten p- norms due to their invariantness to orthogonal transformations. It is shown that in the case of satisfaction of the solvability conditions the control reconfiguration problem can be analytically optimized in terms of the residual norm of the resulting control effectiveness matrix. This allows keeping all the advantages of analytical solutions while maintaining its specified accuracy. The results are successfully applied to aircraft control reconfiguration problem with deriving the whole set of analytical solutions with the best accuracy available.
Keywords: optimal analytical reconfiguration, approximate solution of linear matrix equations, approximate solvability condition

Algorithm of the Optimal in the Sense of Combined Functional Turn of a Spacecraft in the Class of Conical Motion

The optimal slew problem for a spherically symmetric spacecraft as a rigid body with arbitrary attitude boundary conditions and arbitrary direction of the initial angular velocity with no restrictions on the control is considered in the quaternion formulation. The combined functional which combines the time and energy spent on turning of a spacecraft is used as optimality criterion. Using the Pontryagin maximum principle, a new analytical solution of this problem in the class of conical motions is obtained. An explicit expression for the constant in magnitude optimal angular velocity vector of the spacecraft is found. The motion trajectory of the spherically symmetric spacecraft is regular precession. The vector of the spacecraft optimal control is perpendicular to the angular velocity and is constant in magnitude. The conditions for the modulus of the initial and the form of the terminal values of the spacecraft angular velocity vector are formulated, which make it possible to solve the problem analytically in the class of conical motions. The terminal vector of the spacecraft angular velocity must be on the conical surface generated by arbitrarily given constant conditions of the problem. Algorithm of the optimal turn of a spacecraft is given. The numerical example is presented.
Keywords: optimal control, spacecraft, spherically symmetric rigid body, regular precession
