Exponential stability analysis for uncertain switched neutral systems with interval-time-varying state delay

The global exponential stability for a class of switched neutral systems with interval-time-varying state delay and two classes of perturbations is investigated in this paper. LMI-based delay-dependent and delay-independent criteria are proposed to guarantee exponential stability for our considered systems under any switched signal. The Razumikhin-like approach and the Leibniz–Newton formula are used to find the stability conditions. Structured and unstructured uncertainties are studied in this paper. Finally, some numerical examples are illustrated to show the improved results from using this method.     

State feedback and output feedback control of a class of nonlinear systems with delayed measurements

This paper is concerned with the problem of state feedback and output feedback control of a class of nonlinear systems with delayed measurements. This class of nonlinear systems is made up of continuous-time linear systems with nonlinear perturbations. The nonlinearity is assumed to satisfy a global Lipschitz condition and the time delay is assumed to be time-varying and have no restriction on its derivative. On the basis of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii approach, sufficient conditions for the existence of the state feedback controller and the output feedback controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Methods of calculating the controller gain matrices are also presented. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Control design for large-scale Lur’e systems with arbitrary information structure constraints

In this paper, an LMI-based approach is proposed for the design of static output feedback for multi-nonlinear Lur’e-Postnikov systems. The resulting control laws ensure absolute stability and, at the same time, maximize the size of the nonlinear sectors. The proposed method is computationally efficient, and can accommodate feedback laws with arbitrary information structure constraints. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated on a large-scale example with 100 state variables.     

Novel Optimal Guaranteed Cost Control of Uncertain Discrete Systems with Both State and Input Delays

The problem of the guaranteed cost control (GCC) for a class of uncertain discrete-time systems with both state and input delays is considered in this paper. A novel LMI-based approach is proposed for the existence of a state feedback controller which guarantees not only the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system, but also an adequate performance bound over all the possible parameter uncertainties. A convex optimization algorithm is given to design the state feedback controller which minimizes a bound on a quadratic performance index. The result exhibits some favorable features in computation as shown by a numerical example.

Synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation

This paper addresses the design of simple state feedback controllers for synchronization and anti-synchronization of chaotic oscillators under input saturation and disturbance. By employing sector condition, linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient conditions are derived to design (global or local) controllers for chaos synchronization. The proposed local synchronization strategy guarantees a region of stability in terms of difference between states of the master–slave systems. This region of stability can be enlarged by means of an LMI-based optimization algorithm, through which asymptotic synchronization of chaotic oscillators can be ensured for a large difference in their initial conditions. Further, a novel LMI-based robust control strategy is developed, for local synchronization of input-constrained chaotic oscillators, by providing an upper bound on synchronization error in terms of disturbance and initial conditions of chaotic systems. Moreover, the proposed robust state feedback control methodology is modified to provide an inaugural treatment for robust anti-synchronization of chaotic systems under input saturation and disturbance. The results of the proposed methodologies are verified through numerical simulations for synchronization and anti-synchronization of the master–slave chaotic Chua’s circuits under input saturation.     

Exponential stabilization by delay feedback control for highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay

Given an unstable hybrid stochastic functional differential equation, how to design a delay feedback controller to make it stable? Some results have been obtained for hybrid systems with finite delay. However, the state of many stochastic differential equations are related to the whole history of the system, so it is necessary to discuss the feedback control of stochastic functional differential equations with infinite delay. On the other hand, in many practical stochastic models, the coefficients of these systems do not satisfy the linear growth condition, but are highly nonlinear. In this paper, the delay feedback controls are designed for a class of infinite delay stochastic systems with highly nonlinear and the influence of switching state.

In this paper, the stabilization problem of switched control systems with time delay is investigated for both linear and nonlinear cases. First, a new global stabilizability concept with respect to state feedback and switching law is given. Then, based on multiple Lyapunov functions and delay inequalities, the state feedback controller and the switching law are devised to make sure that the resulting closed-loop switched control systems with time delay are globally asymptotically stable and exponentially stable.

Robust stability and H∞ control for nonlinear discrete‐time switched systems with interval time‐varying delay

This paper considers the problems of the robust stability analysis and H_∞ controller synthesis for uncertain discrete‐time switched systems with interval time‐varying delay and nonlinear disturbances. Based on the system transformation and by introducing a switched Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional, the novel sufficient conditions, which guarantee that the uncertain discrete‐time switched system is robust asymptotically stable are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Then, the robust H_∞ control synthesis via switched state feedback is studied for a class of discrete‐time switched systems with uncertainties and nonlinear disturbances. We designed a switched state feedback controller to stabilize asymptotically discrete‐time switched systems with interval time‐varying delay and H_∞ disturbance attenuation level based on matrix inequality conditions. Examples are provided to illustrate the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for quadratic stabilizability of switched systems on non-uniform time domains

In this paper, we consider the quadratic stabilizability via state feedback for a particular class of switched systems that evolve on a non-uniform time domain by introducing time scales theory. The system considered switches between a continuous-time subsystem with variable lengths and a discrete-time subsystem with variable discrete step sizes. Necessary and sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the quadratic stability of this class of switched systems via a switching state feedback law based on the existence of a common positive definite matrix satisfying the quadratic stabilizability condition by considering that the two subsystems are unstable. By state feedback, we mean that the switching among subsystems depends on the system states. Current results for this kind of state switching feedback control are derived only for switched systems evolving on a continuous time domain or a discrete time domain with fixed step’s size. These results are not applicable for the particular class of switched systems where there is a mixing between the continuous and discrete dynamics. This motivates the derivation of a new and more general state feedback control law for switched systems in this work. A numerical example illustrating the results is presented.

The proposed method proves to be effective by a simulation example.     

Output feedback guaranteed cost control of uncertain linear discrete systems with interval time-varying delays

This paper deals with output feedback guaranteed cost control problem for a general class of uncertain linear discrete delay systems, where the state and the observation output are subjected to interval time-varying delay. The proposed output feedback controller uses the observation measurement to exponentially stabilize the closed-loop system and guarantee an adequate level of system performance. By constructing a set of augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals, a delay-dependent condition for the robust output feedback guaranteed cost control is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Three numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.     

Stabilization of Linear Switched Delay Systems: ℋ<Subscript>2</Subscript> and ℋ<Subscript>∞</Subscript> Methods

This paper presents new results pertaining to the delay-dependent stability and control synthesis of a class of linear switched continuous-time systems with time-varying delays. A new state transformation is introduced to exhibit the delay-dependent dynamics in the slow-time scale. For stability, we construct an appropriate selective Lyapunov functional to derive delay-dependent LMI-based sufficient conditions under arbitrary switching and without relying to overbounding. For the control synthesis, we design switched feedback schemes based on quadratic ℋ₂, ℋ_∞ and simultaneous ℋ₂/ℋ_∞ performance criteria. Under the developed transformation, it is established that both the instantaneous and delayed feedback control yield identical results. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the analytical development.     

Robust stabilization for uncertain switched impulsive control systems with state delay: An LMI approach

This paper deals with the problem of robust H_∞ state feedback stabilization for uncertain switched linear systems with state delay. The system under consideration involves time delay in the state, parameter uncertainties and nonlinear uncertainties. The parameter uncertainties are norm-bounded time-varying uncertainties which enter all the state matrices. The nonlinear uncertainties meet with the linear growth condition. In addition, the impulsive behavior is introduced into the given switched system, which results a novel class of hybrid and switched systems called switched impulsive control systems. Using the switched Lyapunov function approach, some sufficient conditions are developed to ensure the globally robust asymptotic stability and robust H_∞ disturbance attenuation performance in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Not only the robustly stabilizing state feedback H_∞ controller and impulsive controller, but also the stabilizing switching law can be constructed by using the corresponding feasible solution to the LMIs. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithms is illustrated with an example.     

Sampled‐data reliable stabilization of T‐S fuzzy systems and its application

In this article, based on sampled‐data approach, a new robust state feedback reliable controller design for a class of Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems is presented. Different from the existing fault models for reliable controller, a novel generalized actuator fault model is proposed. In particular, the implemented fault model consists of both linear and nonlinear components. Consequently, by employing input‐delay approach, the sampled‐data system is equivalently transformed into a continuous‐time system with a variable time delay. The main objective is to design a suitable reliable sampled‐data state feedback controller guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of the resulting closed‐loop fuzzy system. For this purpose, using Lyapunov stability theory together with Wirtinger‐based double integral inequality, some new delay‐dependent stabilization conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities are established to determine the underlying system's stability and to achieve the desired control performance. Finally, to show the advantages and effectiveness of the developed control method, numerical simulations are carried out on two practical models. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Steady state bifurcation of a periodically excited system under delayed feedback controls

This paper investigates the steady state bifurcation of a periodically excited system subject to time-delayed feedback controls by the combined method of residue harmonic balance and polynomial homotopy continuation. Three kinds of delayed feedback controls are considered to examine the effects of different delayed feedback controls and delay time on the steady state response. By means of polynomial homotopy continuation, all the possible steady state solutions corresponding the third-order superharmonic and second-subharmonic responses are derived analytically, i.e. without numerical integration. It is found that the delayed feedback changes the bifurcating curves qualitatively and possibly eliminates the saddle-node bifurcation during resonant. The delayed position-velocity coupling and the delayed velocity feedback controls can destabilize the steady state responses. Coexisting periodic solutions, period-doubling bifurcation and even chaos are found in these control systems. The neighborhood of the periodic solutions is verified numerically in the phase portraits. The various effects of time delay on the steady state response are investigated. Many new phenomena are observed.
