A Supplementary Compensator for Reliable Stabilization with Passive Redundancy

Abstract

This paper brings up a new problem on reliable stabilization with passive redundancy.
This paper considers the situations where a stable feedback control system is operational, and aims at supplementing this system with a new compensator to obtain a total system which is reliably stable with passive redundancy.
A type of supplementary compensators is presented, which corresponds to a new type of resulting total control systems. The reliable stabilizability condition by such a supplementary compensator is equivalent to the strong stabilizability condition of the operational compensator.
