摘要:AbstractThis paper describes the LPVcore software package for MATLAB developed to model, simulate, estimate and control systems vialinear parameter-varying(LPV)input-output(IO),state-space(SS) andlinear fractional(LFR) representations. In the LPVcore toolbox, basis affine parameter-varying matrix functions are implemented to enable users to represent LPV systems in a global setting, i.e., for time-varying scheduling trajectories. This is a key difference compared to other software suites that use a grid or only LFR-based representations. The paper contains an overview of functions in the toolbox to simulate and identify IO, SS and LFR representations. Based on various prediction-error minimization methods, a comprehensive example is given on the identification of a DC motor with an unbalanced disc, demonstrating the capabilities of the toolbox. The software and examples are available onwww.lpvcore.net.
