Abstract

I present joint work with M.K. Camlibel and H.J. van Waarde of Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands.

I start with a short introduction about polynomial bases, with special emphasis on the Chebyshev one. I then show how polynomial bases can be used to represent (approximations of) input and output trajectories of a linear time-invariant system, and how the system equations can be represented in this setting. After discussing persistency of excitation in this setting, I state a continuous-time version of the “fundamental lemma” frequently used in discrete-time data-driven control. I show how this result can be used to perform data-driven simulation of continuous-time systems. 

If time allows, I also show how Chebyshev representations can be used to extend the informativity approach of van Waarde and collaborations to the continuous-time case.
