摘要:AbstractOur contribution in this paper is twofold. In the first part, we study Lyapunov functions when a plant is interconnected with a dissipative stabilizing controller. In the second, we present results on data-driven approach to dissipative systems. In particular, we provide conditions under which an observed trajectory can be used to determine whether a system is dissipative with respect to a given supply rate. Our results are based on linear difference systems for which the use of quadratic difference forms play a central role for dissipativity and Lyapunov theory.
