Iterative Learning Control for Variable Pass Length Systems

Abstract Monotonic convergence of linear iterative learning control (ILC) systems with changing pass length is considered. The maximum pass length (MPL) error is introduced as a useful concept for convergence analysis of this class of systems. Using the lifted-system framework, a both necessary and sufficient monotonic convergence criterion is found for the 1-norm of the MPL error. Further findings on 2-norm and ∞-norm convergence are added. Finally, an example system is given, i.e. the control of an electrical stimulation system for gait assistance, and simulation results are provided.
