Finds the best setting for machines fast.
This paper investigates multivariable extremum seeking using unit-vector control. By employing the gradient algorithm and a polytopic embedding of the unknown Hessian matrix, we establish sufficient conditions, expressed as linear matrix inequalities, for designing the unit-vector control gain that ensures finite-time stability of the origin of the average closed-loop error system. Notably, these conditions enable the design of non-diagonal control gains, which provide extra degrees of freedom to the solution. The convergence of the actual closed-loop system to a neighborhood of the unknown extremum point is rigorously proven through averaging analysis for systems with discontinuous right-hand sides. Numerical simulations illustrate the efficacy of the proposed extremum seeking control algorithm.
