Abstract

     In this talk, I will introduce a series of data-based methods to analyze the characteristics of linear discrete time-delay systems which have unknown parameter matrices. These characteristics include the state stability, bounded-input bounded-state (BIBS) stability, bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stability, state controllability, state observability and output controllability. These data-based methods first transform the system dynamic model into an augmented state space model, and then use the measured historical and current data to construct the system matrix, state controllability matrix, state observability matrix and output controllability matrix of this augmented model, in order to analyze the corresponding characteristics. The advantages of our methods are three folds. First, they can directly verify the system properties according to measured data without the need to know system parameters. Second, their calculation precision is higher than traditional approaches, which need to identify the unknown parameter matrices. Third, our methods have lower computational complexities when constructing the controllability and observability matrices.
