A two-time-scale neurodynamic approach to robust pole assignment

This paper presents a two-time-scale neurodynamic optimization approach to robust pole assignment for synthesizing linear control systems. The problem is formulated as a bi-convex optimization problem with spectral or Frobenious condition number as robustness measure. Coupled recurrent neural networks are applied for solving the formulated problem in different time scales. Simulation results of the proposed neurodynamic approach for benchmark problems and control of autonomous underwater gliders are reported to demonstrate its superiority.
