Discussion on Supervisory Control by Solving Automata Equation

Abstract

In this paper we consider the supervisory control problem through language equation solving. The equation solving approach allows to deal with more general topologies and to find a largest supervisor which can be used as a reservoir for deriving an optimal controller. We introduce the notions of solutions under partial controllability and partial observability, and we show how supervisory control problems with partial controllability and partial observability can be solved by employing equation solving methods.
