Hybrid dynamical models are a powerful tool for describing the behaviour of many industrial processes and physical phenomena in which logical (discrete) and analog (continuous) dynamics exist and interact. Black-box identification of hybrid models from input/output observations and no information on the operating mode of the system is a challenging problem, as both the logical and the continuous dynamics must be retrieved. In this work, we consider the identification of discrete hybrid automata (DHA), which represent a mathematical abstraction of hybrid models whose logical dynamics are described by a finite state machine (FSM) and the continuous dynamics are represented through affine discrete-time dynamical models. We propose a two-stage estimation algorithm based on the joint use of clustering, multi-model recursive least-squares and linear multicategory discrimination techniques, which allows us to estimate both the affine models describing the continuous dynamics and the FSM governing the logical dynamics of the system.

Abstract
Hybrid dynamical models are a powerful tool for describing the behaviour of many industrial processes and physical phenomena in which logical (discrete) and analog (continuous) dynamics exist and interact. Black-box identification of hybrid models from input/output observations and no information on the operating mode of the system is a challenging problem, as both the logical and the continuous dynamics must be retrieved. In this work, we consider the identification of discrete hybrid automata (DHA), which represent a mathematical abstraction of hybrid models whose logical dynamics are described by a finite state machine (FSM) and the continuous dynamics are represented through affine discrete-time dynamical models. We propose a two-stage estimation algorithm based on the joint use of clustering, multi-model recursive least-squares and linear multicategory discrimination techniques, which allows us to estimate both the affine models describing the continuous dynamics and the FSM governing the logical dynamics of the system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
