Parameter-Varying Koopman Operator for Nonlinear System Modeling and Control (2309.10278v1)

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel approach for modeling and controlling nonlinear systems with varying parameters. The approach introduces the use of a parameter-varying Koopman operator (PVKO) in a lifted space, which provides an efficient way to understand system behavior and design control algorithms that account for underlying dynamics and changing parameters. The PVKO builds on a conventional Koopman model by incorporating local time-invariant linear systems through interpolation within the lifted space. This paper outlines a procedure for identifying the PVKO and designing a model predictive control using the identified PVKO model. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach improves model accuracy and enables predictions based on future parameter information. The feasibility and stability of the proposed control approach are analyzed, and their effectiveness is demonstrated through simulation.
