Discrete IDA-PBC design for 2D port-Hamiltonian systems

We address the discrete-time passivity-based control laws synthesis within port-Hamiltonian framework. We focus on IDA-PBC design for canonical port-Hamiltonian systems with separable energy being quadratic in momentum. For this class of systems, we define a discrete Hamiltonian dynamics that exactly satisfies a discrete energy balance. We then derive a discrete controller following the IDA-PBC procedure. The proposed methodology relies on an energy discretization scheme with suitable discrete conjugate port variables. The main result is illustrated on two examples: a nonlinear pendulum in order to compare with some simulation results of the literature, and the impact oscillator which requires robust discretization scheme.
