An application of Lie groups in distributed control networks
Journal Article, Systems & Control Letters, Vol. 43, No. 1, pp. 43 - 52, May, 2001
Abstract
Here we introduce a class of linear operators called recursive orthogonal transforms (ROTs) that allow a natural implementation on a distributed control network. We derive conditions under which ROTs can be used to represent SO(n) for n >= 4. We propose a paradigm for distributed feedback control based on plant matrix diagonalization. To find an ROT suitable for this task, we derive a gradient flow on the appropriate underlying Lie group. A numerical example is presented.
