Decentralized Stabilizing State Feedback Controllers for a Class of Large-Scale Systems Including State Delays in the Interconnections

The problem of the decentralized stabilization of a class of large-scale nonlinear and linear systems including time-varying delays in the interconnections is considered. By combining the Razumikhin-type theorem with the Lyapunov stability theory, we propose a class of decentralized state feedback controllers which can guarantee always some type of stability of large-scale time-delay systems. In this paper, we assume that the time-varying delays are continuous and bounded nonnegative functions. Furthermore, since the proposed decentralized state feedback controllers are independent of the delays, the results obtained in this paper are applicable to systems without exact knowledge of the delays, i.e., systems with perturbed delays. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.

Decentralized Piecewise Fuzzy Output Feedback Control for Large‐Scale Nonlinear Systems with Time‐Varying Delay

This article addresses the decentralized output feedback control for discrete‐time large‐scale nonlinear systems. The considered large‐scale system contains several subsystems with nonlinear interconnection and time‐varying delay, and Takagi–Sugeno model is used to represent each nonlinear subsystem. We aim at designing a decentralized piecewise fuzzy memory dynamic‐output‐feedback (DOF) controller that guarantees the stabilization and performance of the resulting closed‐loop control system. First, we propose a model transformation that reformulates the problem of decentralized output feedback control into the stability analysis with input–output form. Then, we introduce a piecewise Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, where all Lyapunov matrices are not necessarily positive definite. By combining with the scaled small gain theorem, the less conservative solution to the problem of decentralized piecewise fuzzy memory DOF controller design for the considered system is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The advantage of the proposed method is finally validated using two numerical examples. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 268–288, 2016

Decentralized Adaptive Robust Tracking and Model Following for Large-Scale Systems Including Delayed State Perturbations in the Interconnections

The problem of decentralized robust tracking and model following is considered for a class of uncertain large-scale systems including delayed state perturbations in the interconnections. In this paper, it is assumed that the upper bounds of the delayed state perturbations, uncertainties, and external disturbances are unknown. A modified adaptation law with σ-modification is introduced to estimate such unknown bounds, and on the basis of the updated values of these unknown bounds, a class of decentralized local memoryless state feedback controllers is constructed for robust tracking of dynamical signals. The proposed decentralized adaptive robust tracking controllers can guarantee that the tracking errors between each time-delay subsystem and the corresponding local reference model without time-delay decrease uniformly asymptotically to zero. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity of the results.     

Decentralized Control of Nonlinear Large-Scale Systems Using Dynamic Output Feedback

In this paper, a class of nonlinear large-scale systems with similar subsystems is studied. Both matched and unmatched uncertainties are considered by utilizing their bounding functions, and the interconnections take a more general form than considered previously. Based on a constrained Lyapunov equation, a nonlinear dynamic output feedback decentralized controller is presented. Unlike existing results, matched uncertainties are considered in the control design; by using a decomposition of the interconnections, the known and uncertain interconnections are treated separately; thus, the robustness is improved and conservativeness is reduced significantly. The computation effort for solving the Lyapunov equation is greatly reduced by taking into account the similar subsystem structure. Finally, simulation is used to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.     

Robust Stability Criterion for Discrete‐Time Nonlinear Switched Systems with Randomly Occurring Delays via T–S Fuzzy Approach

This article investigates exponential stability of uncertain discrete‐time nonlinear switched systems with parameter uncertainties and randomly occurring delays via Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy approach. The randomness of time‐varying delay is characterized by introducing a Bernoulli stochastic variable that follows certain probability distribution. By adopting the average dwell‐time approach with Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using convex reciprocal lemma, delay‐dependent sufficient conditions for exponential stability of the switched fuzzy system are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved readily using any LMI solvers. Finally, illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 20: 49–61, 2015     

Decentralized Output Feedback Sliding Mode Control of Nonlinear Large-Scale Systems with Uncertainties

In this paper, a class of nonlinear large-scale interconnected systems with mismatched uncertainties is considered. Based on sliding mode control ideas, a kind of decentralized robust control scheme using only output information is presented to stabilize the system. The approach allows more general uncertain interconnections than all of the associated existing work and better robustness is achieved. Compared with existing decentralized output feedback schemes, it is unnecessary to solve Lyapunov equations and the so-called strict structural condition is avoided. Also, it is not necessary that the nominal subsystem is output feedback stabilizable. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the results.

Guaranteed Output Feedback Control for Uncertain Systems under Control and State Constraints

This paper deals with output feedback control of uncertain nonlinear dynamic systems in the presence of state and control constraints. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the guaranteed viability property defined by the existence of a Lipschitz closed-loop that maintains exactly the state of the system in a given closed domain of constraints despite some bounded disturbances acting both on the dynamics and on the output. Using the notion of Lipschitz kernel of a closed set-valued map, we obtain some equivalent geometric and Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaac conditions for the guaranteed viability property. We derive an algorithm to build a guaranteed viable output feedback.
