A Control-Oriented Notion of Finite State Approximation
Danielle C. Tarraf · IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control · 2012
We consider the problem of approximating discrete-time plants with finite-valued sensors and actuators by deterministic finite memory systems for the purpose of certified-by-design controller synthesis. Building on ideas from robust control, we propose a control-oriented notion of finite state approximation for these systems, demonstrate its relevance to the control synthesis problem, and discuss its key features.
