Abstract
The verification of control-theoretic properties and the design of controllers usually require the knowledge of a model of the underlying dynamical system for which the identification is often time-consuming and calls for expert knowledge on the physical phenomena. Hence, the interests on data-driven techniques to deduce system properties and controllers without identifying a model but directly from measured trajectories of the system have risen. Our approach includes a data-based representation of nonlinear systems which combines multiple set memberships for interpolation polynomials. By incorporating the measurement noise and the error by polynomial approximation, we verify dissipativity properties and derive robust controllers from finite noisy samples with rigorous stability and performance guarantees. Furthermore, the application of sum-of-squares relaxation leads to computationally tractable conditions despite nonlinear system dynamics.
