Extended quantified set inversion algorithm with applications to control
The Quantified Set Inversion (QSI) algorithm is a set inversion algorithm based on Modal Interval Analysis and designed for estimation of AE-solution sets to parametric non-linear systems, i.e., for the solution of quantified real constraint (QRC) problems. However, the original QSI algorithm is limited to the QRC problems where existentially quantified variables are not shared between equality constraints. This paper presents an extended version of the QSI algorithm that overcomes some of these limitations. In addition, we introduce a user-friendly Matlab toolbox including a modal interval arithmetic, an efficient implementation of an algorithm for performing modal interval computations (𝑓 *-algorithm) and the QSI algorithm. Due to the high popularity of Matlab in the scientific and engineering communities, the presented toolbox is expected to promote the use of Modal Interval Analysis. Finally, several examples of using the Matlab toolbox and applications to control engineering are presented.
