报告摘要:

The notion of moment for linear systems is generalized to nonlinear, possibly time-delay, systems and to general classes of signal generators (i.e. interpolation points). It is shown that this notion provides a powerful tool for the solution of model reduction problems, for the identification of reduced order model from input-output data and for the analysis of power electronic circuits. In particular, it is shown that moments yield a generalization of the so-called phasor transform to circuits with power electronics components.

报告人简介:

Alessandro Astolfi (IEEE Fellow) graduated in electronic engineering from the University of Rome in 1991. In 1992 he joined ETH-Zurich where he obtained a M.Sc. in Information Theory in 1995 and the Ph.D. degree with Medal of Honor in 1995 with a thesis on discontinuous stabilization of nonholonomic systems. In 1996 he was awarded a Ph.D. from the University of Rome “La Sapienza” for his work on nonlinear robust control. Since 1996 he has been with the Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department of Imperial College London, London (UK), where he is currently Professor of Nonlinear Control Theory and College Consul for the Faculty of Engineering and Business School. From 2010 to 2022 he served as Head of the Control and Power Group at Imperial College London and from 1998 to 2003 he was an Associate Professor at the Dept. of Electronics and Information of the Politecnico of Milano. Since 2005 he has also been a Professor at Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ingegneria Informatica, University of Rome Tor Vergata. His research interests are focused on mathematical control theory and control applications, with special emphasis for the problems of discontinuous stabilization, robust and adaptive control, observer design and model reduction. He is the author of over 180 journal papers; 30 book chapters; and over 270 papers in refereed conference proceedings. He is the author (with D. Karagiannis and R. Ortega) of the monograph “Nonlinear and Adaptive Control with Applications” (Springer-Verlag). He is the recipient of the IEEE CSS A. Ruberti Young Researcher Prize (2007), the IEEE RAS Googol Best New Application Paper Award (2009), the IEEE CSS George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award (2012), the Automatica Best Paper Award (2017), and the IEEE Trans, on Control Systems Technology Best Paper Award (2023). He is a “Distinguished Member” of the IEEE CSS, IEEE Fellow, IFAC Fellow and Member of the Academia Europaea. He served as Associate Editor for Automatica, Systems and Control Letters, the IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control, the International Journal of Control, the European Journal of Control and the Journal of the Franklin Institute; as Area Editor for the Int. J. of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing; as Senior Editor for the IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control; and as Editor-in Chief for the European Journal of Control. He is currently Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Trans. on Automatic Control (2018–). He served as Chair of the IEEE CSS Conference Editorial Board (2010-2017) and in the IPC of several international conferences. He has served as Chair of the IEEE CSS Antonio Ruberti Young Researcher Prize (2015-2021); he is Vice Chair of the IFAC Technical Board (2020-2023) and he has been/is a Member of the IEEE Fellow Committee (2016), (2019-2022). He is currently a member of the IEEE PSPB Strategic Planning Committee and of the IEEE Fellow Nomination & Appointment Committee.
