Controller design for stabilizing bilinear systems with state-based switching

Some nonlinear systems can be approximated by switching bilinear systems. In this paper, we proposed a method to design state-based stabilizing controller for switching bilinear systems. Based on the similarity between switching bilinear systems and switching linear systems, corresponding switching linear systems are obtained for switching bilinear systems by applying state-based feedback control laws. Instead, we consider asymptotically stabilizing the corresponding switching linear system through solving a number of relaxed LMI conditions. Stabilizing controllers for switching bilinear systems can be derived based on the results of the corresponding switching linear systems. The stability of the controller is proved step by step through the decreasing of the multiple Lyapunov functions along the state trajectory. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated by both a theoretical example and an example of urban traffic network with traffic signals.     

Adaptive projective synchronization for a class of switched chaotic systems

This paper addresses the problem of projective synchronization of chaotic systems and switched chaotic systems by adaptive control methods. First, a necessary and sufficient condition is proposed to show how many state variables can realize projective synchronization under a linear feedback controller for the chaotic systems. Then, accordingly, a new algorithm is given to select all state variables that can realize projective synchronization. Furthermore, according to the results of the projective synchronization of chaotic systems, the problem of projective synchronization of the switched chaotic systems comprised by the unified chaotic systems is investigated, and an adaptive global linear feedback controller with only one input channel is designed, which can realize the projective synchronization under the arbitrary switching law. It is worth mentioning that the proposed method can also realize complete synchronization of the switched chaotic systems. Finally, the numerical simulation results verify the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Balancing singular discrete-time systems

In this work, we deal with normalizable-balanced singular systems, that is, singular systems where the obtained closed-loop system is balanced by an appropriate feedback. In the invariant case, we use a proportional and derivative feedback to obtain systems without infinite poles. In addition, the existence and construction of state-feedbacks to obtain normalizable-balanced N-periodic singular systems is analyzed.     

The dynamics of systems with rolling and gyroscopic systems with small generalized velocities and the realization of constraints

Approaches to the construction of mathematical models of systems with rolling and gyroscopic systems with dynamics characterized by the smallness of some of the generalized velocities are discussed. As a rule, a quasistatic approach is used in the modelling of such systems, within the limits of which the generalized accelerations corresponding to small generalized velocities are assumed to be equal to zero. Cases are indicated when the possibility, established by Kozlov, of obtaining the quasistatic equations of gyroscopic systems by the imposition of holonomic constraints is extended to systems with rolling. Additional conditions are formulated that enable one to estimate the error in the quasistatic equations of systems with rolling and gyroscopic systems. It is shown that they can be refined with respect to a small parameter, that is, the ratio of the characteristic values of the “small” and “finite” generalized velocities, using the Dirac formalism, based on an analysis of the constraints between the generalized coordinates and momenta of the system that arise on account of the degeneracy of its Lagrangian on changing to the quasistatic equations.     

Moderate deviations for time-varying dynamic systems driven by non-homogeneous Markov chains with Two-time Scales

Motivated by problems arising in time-dependent queues and dynamic systems with random environment, this work develops moderate deviations principles for dynamic systems driven by a fast-varying non-homogeneous Markov chain in continuous time. A distinct feature is that the Markov chain is time dependent or inhomogeneous, so are the dynamic systems. Under irreducibility of the non-homogeneous Markov chain, moderate deviations of a non-homogeneous functional are established first. With the help of a martingale problem formulation and a functional central limit theorem for the two timescale system, both upper and lower bounds of moderate deviations are obtained for the rapidly fluctuating Markovian systems. Then applications to queueing systems and dynamic systems modulated by a fast-varying Markov chain are examined.     

Synchronization for the coupled stochastic strict-feedback nonlinear systems with delays under pinning control

In this paper, a class of new coupled stochastic strict-feedback nonlinear systems with delays (CSFND) on networks without strong connectedness (NWSC) is considered, and the issue pertaining to the synchronization of the systems is discussed by pinning control. Towards CSFND, the controllers are approached by combining the back-stepping method and the design of virtual controllers. A key novel design ingredient is that the global Lyapunov function is obtained based on each Lyapunov function of stochastic strict-feedback nonlinear systems with delays (SFND). Moreover, a sufficient criterion is presented to realize the exponential synchronization by employing the graph theory and Lyapunov method. As a subsequent result, we apply the obtained theoretical results to the second-order oscillator systems and robotic arm systems. Meanwhile, numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the validity and feasibility of our theoretical results.     

On stability of switched homogeneous nonlinear systems

In this paper, the problem of stability of switched homogeneous systems is addressed. First of all, if there is a quadratic Lyapunov function such that nonlinear homogeneous systems are asymptotically stable, a matrix Lyapunov-like equation is obtained for a stable nonlinear homogeneous system using semi-tensor product of matrices, and Lyapunov equation of linear system is just its particular case. Following the previous results, a sufficient condition is obtained for stability of switched nonlinear homogeneous systems, and a switching law is designed by partition of state space. In particular, a constructive approach is provided to avoid chattering phenomena which is caused by the switching rule. Then for planar switched homogeneous systems, an LMI approach to stability of planar switched homogeneous systems is presented. Similar to the condition for linear systems, the LMI-type condition is easily verifiable. An example is given to illustrate that candidate common Lyapunov function is a key point for design of switching law.     

Practical finite-time stability of switched nonlinear time-varying systems based on initial state-dependent dwell time methods

This paper considers the problem of practical finite-time stability (PFTS) for switched nonlinear time-varying (SNTV) systems. Starting with nonlinear time-varying (NTV) systems, a new sufficient condition is proposed to verify the PFTS of systems by using an improved Lyapunov function. Then, the results obtained are extended to study the PFTS of SNTV systems. Two stability conditions are proposed for SNTV systems under arbitrary switching, moreover, the time and region of convergence are also given. Furthermore, an initial state-dependent dwell time method is introduced to study the PFTS of SNTV systems. Three stability conditions are proposed by using the methods of initial state-dependent minimum dwell time (ISD-MDT) and initial state-dependent average dwell time (ISD-ADT), respectively. The comparisons between the obtained results and the existing results are also given, and the obtained results are extended to impulsive switched nonlinear time-varying (ISNTV) systems. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
