Exponential stability of hybrid stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulsive effects: average impulsive interval approach

In this paper, we aim to investigate the exponential stability of general hybrid stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses. By using the average impulsive interval and the Lyapunov function method, we derive some sufficient conditions for exponential stability, which are less conservative than those existing results based on the supremum or infimum of impulsive interval and more convenient to be applied than those Razumikhin‐type conditions in the literature. Meanwhile, we show that unstable hybrid stochastic delay differential systems, both linear and nonlinear, can be stabilized by suitably impulsive sequence. Finally, two examples are discussed to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the obtained results. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A Notion of Stochastic Input-to-State Stability and Its Application to Stability of Cascaded Stochastic Nonlinear Systems

In this paper, the property of practical input-to-state stability and its application to stability of cascaded nonlinear systems are investigated in the stochastic framework. Firstly, the notion of （practical） stochastic input-to-state stability with respect to a stochastic input is introduced, and then by the method of changing supply functions, （a） an （practical） SISS-Lyapunov function for the overall system is obtained from the corresponding Lyapunov functions for cascaded （practical） SISS subsystems.     

Almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems with mode-dependent and edge-dependent average dwell time

It has recently been shown that almost global stability of nonlinear switched systems can be characterized using multiple Lyapunov densities. This has been accomplished for switched systems subject to a minimum dwell time or an average dwell time constraint. In this paper, as an extension of the aforementioned results, we provide a sufficient condition on mode-dependent and edge-dependent average dwell time to ensure almost global stability of a nonlinear switched system. The relations between average dwell time, mode-dependent, and edge-dependent average dwell time have been discussed. The obtained results for nonlinear switched systems imply the existing results for linear switched systems.     

Finite-time stability and stabilization of nonlinear stochastic hybrid systems

This paper deals with the problem of finite-time stability and stabilization of nonlinear Markovian switching stochastic systems which exist impulses at the switching instants. Using multiple Lyapunov function theory, a sufficient condition is established for finite-time stability of the underlying systems. Furthermore, based on the state partition of continuous parts of systems, a feedback controller is designed such that the corresponding impulsive stochastic closed-loop systems are finite-time stochastically stable. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Stability of hybrid stochastic differential systems with switching and time delay

This article introduces a hybrid stochastic differential system with impulsive, switching and time-delay. Some stability criteria of p-moment global asymptotical stability, p-moment global exponential stability and mean square stability of this system are derived by using switching Lyapunov function approach, Itô formula, impulsive differential inequality method, and linear matrix equality techniques. Three examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the obtained results.     

Input-to-state stability of impulsive systems with hybrid delayed impulse effects

The goal of this paper is to study properties of input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral input-to-state stability (iISS) of impulsive systems with hybrid delayed impulses, and a set of Lyapunov-based sufficient conditions ensuring ISS/iISS properties are obtained. Those conditions reveal the effects of hybrid delayed impulses on ISS/iISS and establish the relationship between impulsive frequency and the time delay existing in hybrid impulses. When the continuous dynamics of the system are stabilizing, the ISS property can be retained under the impulse scheme even if there exist destabilizing impulses. Conversely, when the impulse dynamics are stabilizing, but the continuous dynamics are not, the ISS property can be obtained if the interval between impulses are not overly long. Two illustrative examples are presented, with their numerical simulations, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the main results.     

Finite-time filtering for switched linear systems with a mode-dependent average dwell time

This study considers the problem of finite-time filtering for switched linear systems with a mode-dependent average dwell time. By introducing a newly augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and considering the relationship between time-varying delays and their upper delay bounds, sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities such that the filtering error system is finite-time bounded and a prescribed noise attenuation level is guaranteed for all non-zero noises. Thus, a finite-time filter is designed for switched linear systems with a mode-dependent average dwell time. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.     

Robust exponential stability of impulsive switched systems with switching delays: A Razumikhin approach

In this paper, we focus on the robust exponential stability of a class of uncertain nonlinear impulsive switched systems with switching delays. We introduce a novel type of piecewise Lyapunov-Razumikhin functions. Such functions can efficiently eliminate the impulsive and switching jump of adjacent Lyapunov functions at impulsive switching instants. By Razumikhin technique, the delay-independent criteria of exponential stability are established on the minimum dwell time. Finally, an illustrative numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.     

Event-triggered delayed impulsive control for input-to-state stability of nonlinear impulsive systems

This paper studies the input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral input-to-state stability (iISS) of nonlinear impulsive systems in the framework of event-triggered impulsive control (ETIC), where the stabilizing effect of time delays in impulses is fully considered. Some sufficient conditions which can avoid Zeno behavior and guarantee the ISS/iISS property of impulsive systems are proposed, where external inputs are considered in both the continuous dynamics and impulsive dynamics. A novel event-triggered delayed impulsive control (ETDIC) strategy which establishes a relationship among event-triggered parameters, impulse strength and time delays in impulses is presented. It is shown that time delays in impulses can contribute to the stabilization of impulsive systems in ISS/iISS sense. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results is illustrated by two numerical examples.     

Exponential stability analysis of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses

This paper is concerned with the exponential stability analysis of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems with delayed impulses. Although the stability of impulsive stochastic functional differential systems have received considerable attention. However, relatively few works are concerned with the stability of systems with delayed impulses and our aim here is mainly to close the gap. Based on the Lyapunov functions and Razumikhin techniques, some exponential stability criteria are derived, which show that the system will stable if the impulses’ frequency and amplitude are suitably related to the increase or decrease of the continuous flows. The obtained results improve and complement ones from some recent works. Three examples are discussed to illustrate the effectiveness and the advantages of the results obtained.     

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.     

Stability in terms of two measures of solutions to stochastic partial differential delay equations with switching

In this paper, the problem of stability in terms of two measures is considered for a class of stochastic partial differential delay equations with switching. Sufficient conditions for stability in terms of two measures are obtained based on the technique of constructing a proper approximating strong solution system and conducting a limiting type of argument to pass on stability of strong solutions to mild ones. In particular, the stochastic stability under the fixed‐index sequence monotonicity condition and under the average dwell‐time switching are considered.

Asymptotic stability of impulsive stochastic partial differential equations with infinite delays

In this paper, we study the existence and asymptotic stability in pth moment of mild solutions to nonlinear impulsive stochastic partial differential equations with infinite delay. By employing a fixed point approach, sufficient conditions are derived for achieving the required result. These conditions do not require the monotone decreasing behaviour of the delays.     

Impulsively-controlled systems and reverse dwell time: A linear programming approach

We present a receding horizon algorithm that converges to the exact solution in polynomial time for a class of optimal impulse control problems with uniformly distributed impulse instants and governed by so-called reverse dwell time conditions. The cost has two separate terms, one depending on time and the second monotonically decreasing on the state norm. The obtained results have both theoretical and practical relevance. From a theoretical perspective we prove certain geometrical properties of the discrete set of feasible solutions. From a practical standpoint, such properties reduce the computational burden and speed up the search for the optimum thus making the algorithm suitable for the on-line implementation in real-time problems. Our approach consists in approximating the optimal impulse control problem via a binary linear programming problem with a totally unimodular constraint matrix. Hence, solving the binary linear programming problem is equivalent to solving its linear relaxation. Then, given the feasible solution from the linear relaxation, we find the optimal solution via receding horizon and local search. Numerical illustrations of a queueing system are performed.     

Stability analysis of highly nonlinear hybrid multiple-delay stochastic differential equations

Stability criteria for stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs) have been studied intensively for the past few decades. However, most of these criteria can only be applied to delay equations where their coefficients are either linear or nonlinear but bounded by linear functions. Recently, the stability of highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic differential equations with a single delay is investigated in [Fei, Hu, Mao and Shen, Automatica, 2017], whose work, in this paper, is extended to highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic differential equations with variable multiple delays. In other words, this paper establishes the stability criteria of highly nonlinear hybrid variable multiple-delay stochastic differential equations. We also discuss an example to illustrate our results.
