Robust finite-time H∞ control for a class of uncertain switched neutral systems

This paper investigates the robust finite-time H_∞ control problem for a class of uncertain switched neutral systems with unknown time-varying disturbance. The uncertainties under consideration are norm bounded. By using the average dwell time approach, a sufficient condition for finite-time boundedness of switched neutral systems is derived. Then, finite-time H_∞ performance analysis for switched neutral systems is developed, and a robust finite-time H_∞ state feedback controller is proposed to guarantee that the closed-loop system is finite-time bounded with H_∞ disturbance attenuation level γ. All the results are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Observer-based finite-time control of time-delayed jump systems

This paper provides the observer-based finite-time control problem of time-delayed Markov jump systems that possess randomly jumping parameters. The transition of the jumping parameters is governed by a finite-state Markov process. The observer-based finite-time H_∞ controller via state feedback is proposed to guarantee the stochastic finite-time boundedness and stochastic finite-time stabilization of the resulting closed-loop system for all admissible disturbances and unknown time-delays. Based on stochastic finite-time stability analysis, sufficient conditions that ensure stochastic robust control performance of time-delay jump systems are derived. The control criterion is formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities and the designed finite-time stabilization controller is described as an optimization one. The presented results are extended to time-varying delayed MJSs. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the developed approaches.     

Resilient and robust finite-time H∞ control for uncertain discrete-time jump nonlinear systems

This paper studies the robust and resilient finite-time H_∞ control problem for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear systems with Markovian jump parameters. With the help of linear matrix inequalities and stochastic analysis techniques, the criteria concerning stochastic finite-time boundedness and stochastic H_∞ finite-time boundedness are initially established for the nonlinear stochastic model. We then turn to stochastic finite-time controller analysis and design to guarantee that the stochastic model is stochastically H_∞ finite-time bounded by employing matrix decomposition method. Applying resilient control schemes, the resilient and robust finite-time controllers are further designed to ensure stochastic H_∞ finite-time boundedness of the derived stochastic nonlinear systems. Moreover, the results concerning stochastic finite-time stability and stochastic finite-time boundedness are addressed. All derived criteria are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which can be solved by utilizing the available convex optimal method. Finally, the validity of obtained methods is illustrated by numerical examples.     

Dynamic compensator design and H∞ admissibilization for delayed singular jump systems via Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique

This paper is intended to study output feedback-based $H_{\infty }$ admissibilization for singular Markovian jump time-varying delays systems via Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique. The main aim is to design singular dynamic compensator based on output feedback control idea and Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique, such that the time-varying delays singular Markovian jump system realizes not only stochastic stability, but also regularity, impulse-freeness (which are collectively known as stochastic admissibility) and achieves $H_{\infty }$ interference level. Time delay-dependent and mode-dependent L–K candidate functional is constructed, Moore–Penrose generalized inversion technique is utilized, then the improved $H_{\infty }$ admissibilization conditions for singular Markovian jump time-varying delays systems are provided by virtue of linear matrix inequalities. Simulation examples including a direct current motor-controlled inverted pendulum system are employed to confirm the effectiveness and practicability of the addressed singular dynamic compensation technique.     

Stability for uncertain nonlinear dissipative systems

This paper presents a technique for constructing a storage function for a broad class of nonlinear passive systems with mismatched uncertainties. And the problem for H_∞ disturbance attenuation with internal stability is studied by using robust adaptive output feedback controller which need not construct any state observer. The paper also shows how to explicitly design output feedback control that attenuates the disturbances effect on the output to an arbitrary degree of accuracy. Further, the results derived in this paper complement the previous work in the literature.     

Finite-time L1 control for positive switched linear systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of finite-time L₁ control for a class of positive switched linear systems with time-varying delay. Firstly, by using the average dwell time approach, sufficient conditions which can guarantee the L₁ finite-time boundedness of the underlying system are given. Then, in virtue of the results obtained, a state feedback controller is designed to ensure that the resulting closed-loop system is finite-time bounded with L₁-gain performance. All the obtained results are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved conveniently. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.     

Robust H ∞ control for singular systems with time-varying uncertainties

In this paper, we investigate the problem of robust H _∞ control for singular systems with polytopic time-varying parameter uncertainties. By introducing the notion of generalized quadratic H _∞ performance, the relationship between the existence of a robust H _∞ dynamic state feedback controller and that of a robust H _∞ static state feedback controller is given. By using matrix inequalities, the existence conditions of robust H _∞ static state feedback and dynamic output feedback controllers are derived. Moreover, the design methods for such controllers are provided in terms of the solutions of matrix inequalities. An example is also presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed methods. __________ Translated from Journal of Northeastern University (Natural Science), 2004, 25(2): 110–113     

Finite-time boundedness and L2-gain analysis for switched delay systems with norm-bounded disturbance

Finite-time boundedness and finite-time weighted L₂-gain for a class of switched delay systems with time-varying exogenous disturbances are studied. Based on the average dwell-time technique, sufficient conditions which guarantee the switched linear system with time-delay is finite-time bounded and has finite-time weighted L₂-gain are given. These conditions are delay-dependent and are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Detail proofs are given by using multiple Lyapunov-like functions. An example is employed to verify the efficiency of the proposed method.

Finally, in the cases of state feedback and output feedback, two families of controllers are provided respectively.     

Robust H∞ control for a class of switched nonlinear cascade systems via multiple Lyapunov functions approach

This paper addresses the problem of robust H_∞ control for a class of switched nonlinear cascade systems with parameter uncertainty using the multiple Lyapunov functions (MLFs) approach. Each subsystem under consideration is composed of two cascade-connected parts. The uncertain parameters are assumed to be in a known compact set and are allowed to enter the system nonlinearly. Based on the explicit construction of Lyapunov functions, which avoids solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equations, sufficient conditions for the solvability of the robust H_∞ control problem are presented. As an application, the hybrid robust H_∞ control problem for a class of uncertain non-switched nonlinear cascade systems is solved when no single continuous controller is effective. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.     

On semi-R-boundedness and its applications

R-Boundedness is a randomized boundedness condition for sets of operators which in recent years has found many applications in the maximal regularity theory of evolution equations, stochastic evolution equations, spectral theory and vector-valued harmonic analysis. However, in some situations additional geometric properties such as Pisier's property (α) are required to guaranty the R-boundedness of a relevant set of operators. In this paper we show that a weaker property called semi-R-boundedness can be used to avoid these geometric assumptions in the context of Schauder decompositions and the H^∞-calculus. Furthermore, we give weaker conditions for stochastic integrability of certain convolutions.

This paper is concerned with the finite-time quantized H_∞ control problem for a class of discrete-time switched time-delay systems with time-varying exogenous disturbances. By using the sector bound approach and the average dwell time method, sufficient conditions are derived for the switched system to be finite-time bounded and ensure a prescribed H_∞ disturbance attenuation level, and a mode-dependent quantized state feedback controller is designed by solving an optimization problem. Two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.     

H∞ performance for uncertain discrete switched systems with interval time-varying delay via switching signal design

The switching signal design for H_∞ performance of uncertain discrete switched systems with interval delay and linear fractional perturbations is considered in this paper. Some LMI stability criteria are proposed to design the switching signal and guarantee the H_∞ performance for discrete switched time-delay system. Some nonnegative inequalities are introduced to improve the conservativeness of the proposed results. A numerical example is illustrated to show the less conservativeness of the main result. Finally, a water quality model is also provided to demonstrate the practical applications of our proposed results.     

Exponential H∞ synchronization for discrete‐time chaotic neural networks with time delays and stochastic perturbations via output feedback control

This paper investigates the problem of exponential H_∞ synchronization of discrete‐time chaotic neural networks with time delays and stochastic perturbations. First, by using the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii (Lyapunov) functional and output feedback controller, we establish the H_∞ performance of exponential synchronization in the mean square of master‐slave systems, which is analyzed using a matrix inequality approach. Second, the parameters of a desired output feedback controller can be achieved by solving a linear matrix inequality. Finally, 2 simulated examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Finite-time dissipative control for singular discrete-time Markovian jump systems with actuator saturation and partly unknown transition rates

In this work, the finite-time dissipative control problem is considered for singular discrete-time Markovian jumping systems with actuator saturation and partly unknown transition rates. By constructing a proper Lyapunov–Krasonski functional and the method of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), sufficient conditions that ensure the systems singular stochastic finite-time stability and singular stochastic finite-time dissipative are obtained. Then, the state feedback controllers are designed, and in order to get the optimal values of the dissipative level, the results are extended to LMI convex optimization problems. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity of the proposed methods.     

Nonfragile H∞ output tracking control for uncertain singular Markovian jump delay systems with network‐induced delays and data packet dropouts

This article deals with the problem of nonfragile H_∞ output tracking control for a kind of singular Markovian jump systems with time‐varying delays, parameter uncertainties, network‐induced signal transmission delays, and data packet dropouts. The main objective is to design mode‐dependent state‐feedback controller under controller gain perturbations and bounded modes transition rates such that the output of the closed‐loop networked control system tracks the output of a given reference system with the required H_∞ output tracking performance. By constructing a more multiple stochastic Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, the novel mode‐dependent and delay‐dependent conditions are obtained to guarantee the augmented output tracking closed‐loop system is not only stochastically admissible but also satisfies a prescribed H_∞‐norm level for all signal transmission delays, data packet dropouts, and admissible uncertainties. Then, the desired state‐feedback controller parameters are determined by solving a set of strict linear matrix inequalities. A simple production system example and two numerical examples are used to verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed methods. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Weighted Hardy spaces in the three-parameter case

In this paper, we use the idea of the discrete Littlewood-Paley theory developed by Han and Lu to carry out the three-parameter weighted Hardy spaces theory under a rather weak condition on the product weight (w∈A_∞) and obtain the boundedness of singular integral operators on the weighted Hardy spaces.     

Robust H∞ control for linear Markovian jump systems with unknown nonlinearities

This paper studies the problem of stochastic stability and disturbance attenuation for a class of linear continuous-time uncertain systems with Markovian jumping parameters. The uncertainties are assumed to be nonlinear and state, control and external disturbance dependent. A sufficient condition is provided to solve the above problem. An H_∞ controller is designed such that the resulting closed-loop system is stochastically stable and has a disturbance attenuation γ for all admissible uncertainties. It is shown that the control law is in terms of the solutions of a set of coupled Riccati inequalities. A numerical example is included to demonstrate the potential of the proposed technique.
