Scattering-based stabilization of non-planar conic systems

Abstract Methods for scattering-based stabilization of interconnections of nonlinear systems are developed for the case where the subsystems are non-planar conic. The notion of non-planar conicity is a generalization of the conicity notion to the case where the cone’s center is a subspace with dimension greater than one. For a feedback interconnection of non-planar conic systems, a graph separation condition for finite-gain L 2 -stability is derived in terms of relationship between the maximal singular value of the product of projection operators onto the subsystems’ central subspaces and the radii of the corresponding cones. Furthermore, a new generalized scattering transformation is developed that allows for rendering the dynamic characteristics of a non-planar conic system into an arbitrary prescribed cone with compatible dimensions. The new scattering transformation is subsequently applied to the problem of stabilization of interconnections of non-planar conic systems, with and without communication delays. Applications of the developed scattering-based stabilization methods to the problems of stable robot–environment interaction and bilateral teleoperation with multiple heterogeneous communication delays are discussed.
