Switching design for exponential stability of a class of nonlinear hybrid time-delay systems

This paper addresses the exponential stability for a class of nonlinear hybrid time-delay systems. The system to be considered is autonomous and the state delay is time-varying. Using the Lyapunov functional approach combined with the Newton–Leibniz formula, neither restriction on the derivative of time-delay function nor bound restriction on nonlinear perturbations is required to design a switching rule for the exponential stability of nonlinear switched systems with time-varying delays. The delay-dependent stability conditions are presented in terms of the solution of algebraic Riccati equations, which allows computing simultaneously the two bounds that characterize the stability rate of the solution. A simple procedure for constructing the switching rule is also presented.

Robust stability criteria for systems with interval time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations

This paper considers the robust stability for a class of linear systems with interval time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations. A Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which takes the range information of the time-varying delay into account, is proposed to analyze the stability. A new approach is introduced for estimating the upper bound on the time derivative of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. On the basis of the estimation and by utilizing free-weighting matrices, new delay-range-dependent stability criteria are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Robust exponential stability and stabilizability of linear parameter dependent systems with delays

The robust exponential stability and stabilizability problems are addressed in this paper for a class of linear parameter dependent systems with interval time-varying and constant delays. In this paper, restrictions on the derivative of the time-varying delay is not required which allows the time-delay to be a fast time-varying function. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii theory, we derive delay-dependent exponential stability and stabilizability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be solved by various available algorithms. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Robust stability analysis of uncertain systems with two additive time-varying delay components

This paper is concerned with stability analysis for uncertain systems. The systems are based on a new time-delay model proposed recently, which contains multiple successive delay components in the state. The relationship between the time-varying delay and its upper bound is taken into account when estimating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional. As a result, some less conservative stability criteria are established for systems with two successive delay components and parameter uncertainties. Numerical examples show that the proposed criteria are effective and are an improvement over some existing results in the literature.

An application to exponential stability of uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay is given. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained results.

The condition is presented in terms of the solution of Riccati differential equations.     

Stability and stabilization of switched linear discrete-time systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper deals with stability and stabilization of a class of switched discrete-time delay systems. The system to be considered is subject to interval time-varying delays, which allows the delay to be a fast time-varying function and the lower bound is not restricted to zero. Based on the discrete Lyapunov functional, a switching rule for the asymptotic stability and stabilization for the system is designed via linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

This paper deals with the robust stability analysis for uncertain systems with time-varying delay. New delay-dependent robust stability criteria of uncertain time-delay systems are proposed by exploiting appropriate Lyapunov functional candidate. These developed results have advantages over some previous ones in that they have fewer matrix variables yet less conservatism, due to the introduction of a method to estimate the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional candidate without ignoring the additional useful terms. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the advantage of the proposed method.

We study the problem of estimating the exponential convergence rate and exponential stability for neural networks with time-varying delay. Some criteria for exponential stability are derived by using the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. They are less conservative than the existing ones. Some analytical methods are employed to investigate the bounds on the interconnection matrix and activation functions so that the systems are exponentially stable.     

Absolute exponential stability criteria for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of absolute exponential stability analysis for a class of continuous-time systems with sector-bounded nonlinearities and interval time-varying delays. Absolute exponential stability criteria, which depend not only on the delay range but also on the decay rate, are derived by using a novel Lyapunov functional. These criteria are expressed in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and they can easily be checked. By solving these LMIs, estimates of the exponential decay rate and decay coefficient are obtained. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The results are shown to be a generalization of some previous results, and less conservative than the existing works. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.

New results on global asymptotic stability analysis for neural networks with time-varying delays

This note provides new results on global asymptotic stability for neural networks with time-varying delay. Two types of time-varying delay are considered: one is differentiable and has bounded derivative; the other one is continuous and may vary very fast. By introducing an augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, new delay-dependent stability criteria for delayed neural networks are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is shown that the obtained criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach.     

On stability analysis for neural networks with interval time-varying delays via some new augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional

This paper is concerned with the problem of stability analysis of neural networks with interval time-varying delays. It is assumed that the lower bound of time-varying delays is not restricted to be zero. By constructing a newly augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional which has not been proposed yet and utilizing some integral information on activation function as elements of augmented vectors, an improved stability criterion with the framework of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is introduced in Theorem 1. Based on the result of Theorem 1 and utilizing the property of the positiveness of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, a further relaxed stability condition will be proposed in Theorem 2. The effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed theorems will be illustrated via three numerical examples.     

Decentralized stability for switched nonlinear large-scale systems with interval time-varying delays in interconnections

In this paper, the problem of decentralized stability of switched nonlinear large-scale systems with time-varying delays in interconnections is studied. The time delays are assumed to be any continuous functions belonging to a given interval. By constructing a set of new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, which are mainly based on the information of the lower and upper delay bounds, a new delay-dependent sufficient condition for designing switching law of exponential stability is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The developed method using new inequalities for lower bounding cross terms eliminate the need for overbounding and provide larger values of the admissible delay bound. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the new theory.
