    Efficient Implementation of Controllers for Large Scale Linear Systems via Wavelet Packet Transforms
    (1998) Kantor, George A.; Krishnaprasad, Perinkulam S.; ISR; CDCSS
    In this paper we present a method of efficiently implementing controllers for linear systems with large numbers of sensors and actuators. It is well known that singular value decomposition can be used to diagonalize any real matrix. Here, we use orthogonal transforms from the wavelet packet to "approximate" SVD of the plant matrix. This yields alternatebases for the input and output vector which allow for feedback control using local information. This fact allows for the efficient computation of a feedback control law in the alternate bases. Since the wavelet packet transforms are also computationally efficient,this method provides a good alternative to direct implementation of a controller matrix for large systems.

    This paper was presented at the 32nd CISS, March 18-21, 1998.

    Affine Frames of Rational Wavelets in H2 (II+)
    (1992) Pati, Y.C.; Krishnaprasad, Perinkulam S.; ISR
    In this paper we investigate frame decompositions of H2(II+) as a method of constructing rational approximations to nonrational transfer functions in H2(II+). The frames of interest are generated from a single analyzing wavelet. We consider the case in which the analyzing wavelet is rational and show that by appropriate grouping of terms in a wavelet expansion, H2(II+) can be decomposed as an infinite sum of a rational transfer functions which are related to one another by dilation and translation. Criteria for selecting a finite number of terms from such an infinite expansion are developed using time-frequency localization properties of wavelets.
