Delay-dependent BIBO stability analysis of switched uncertain neutral systems

This paper presents the analysis of delay-dependent bounded input bounded output (BIBO) stability for a class of switched uncertain neutral systems. The uncertainty is assumed to be of structured linear fractional form which includes the norm-bounded uncertainty as a special case. First, by introducing the general variation-of-constants formula of neutral systems with perturbation, the BIBO stability property of general linear switched neutral systems with perturbation is established. Next, combining the general variation-of-constants formula with the state-dependent switching rule, new approaches are presented to design the feedback controller and the switching rules. Furthermore, the BIBO stability criteria are obtained in terms of the so-called Lyapunov–Metzler linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the potential of the proposed techniques in this paper.

Improved delay-dependent robust stability criteria for a class of uncertain mixed neutral and Lur’e dynamical systems with interval time-varying delays and sector-bounded nonlinearity

The previously proposed delay-dependent robust stability criteria for a class of uncertain mixed neutral and Lur’e dynamical systems with interval time-varying delays are refined by eliminating nonlinearity and/or reducing the number of free-weighting matrices. Several robust stability criteria proposed in this paper are simpler and effective. Numerical examples show that the new method is less conservative than some previous approaches.

In this paper, the robust asymptotic stability and stabilization for a class of uncertain neutral system with time-varying delays are considered. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory, some stability and stabilization criteria are derived. Delay-dependent and delay-independent criteria are proposed for the stability and stabilization of the considered systems.

New stability criteria for a class of neutral systems with discrete and distributed time-delays: an LMI approach

In this paper, a problem of the asymptotic stability for a class of neutral systems with multiple discrete and distributed time-delays is considered. Lyapunov stability theory is applied to guarantee the stability for the systems. New discrete-delay-independent and discrete-delay-dependent stability conditions are derived in terms of the spectral radius and linear matrix inequality. By mathematical analysis, the stability criteria are proved to be less conservative than the ones reported in the current literatures. A numerical example is given to illustrate the availability of the proposed results.     

Improved stability and H∞ performance for neutral systems with uncertain Markovian jump

This paper addresses the problem of the delay-dependent stability and $H\infty$ performance for neutral systems with uncertain Markovian jump; the uncertainty of Markovian jump refers to the partial information on transition probability. In order to highlight the methods for the analysis of the systems, the neutral delay is assumed same as discrete delay. By the novel constructed Lyapunov functional, combining with the delay decomposition technique and free matrices, and using the new inequality rather than the Jensen inequality, the delay-dependent stability conditions are firstly obtained for the two kinds of neutral dynamical systems. Based on the stability condition, the $H\infty$ performance result for the systems with Markovian jump is secondly provided. All of the delay-dependent stabilization results are formulated in terms of LMIs, which can be easily checked by the LMI control toolbox in Matlab. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the validity and potential of the developed criteria.     

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.

Stability analysis for neutral systems with mixed delays

Relationships between system states contained in the neutral equation are used to address the delay-dependent stability of a neutral system with time-varying state delay. Using linear matrix inequalities, we present a new asymptotic stability criterion, and a new robust stability criterion, for neutral systems with mixed delays. Since the criteria take into account the sizes of the neutral delay, discrete delay and the derivative of discrete delay, they are less conservative than those produced by previous approaches. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate that these criteria are indeed more effective.     

A delay decomposition approach to stability analysis of neutral systems with time-varying delay

This paper presents novel stability criteria for neutral systems with time-varying delay. By developing a delayed decomposition approach, information of the delayed plant states can be taken into full consideration, and new delay-dependent sufficient stability criteria are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, based on the Lyapunov method, delay-dependent stability criteria are devised by taking the relationship between terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula into account. Criteria are derived in terms of LMIs, which can be easily solved by using various convex optimization algorithms. Three illustrative numerical examples are given to show less conservatism of our obtained results and the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Some new simple stability criteria of linear neutral systems with a single delay

This article mainly considers the linear neutral delay-differential systems with a single delay. Using the characteristic equation of the system, new simple delay-independent asymptotic and exponential stability criteria are derived in terms of the matrix measure, the spectral norm and the spectral radius of the corresponding matrices. Numerical examples demonstrate that our criteria are less conservative than those of previous corresponding results [L.M. Li, Stability of linear neutral delay-differential systems, Bull. Aust. Math.

The stability of distributed neutral delay differential systems with Markovian switching

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of neutral-type stochastic distributed delay differential systems described by Markovian switching. This system has some special kind of neutral behaviour with uncertain distributed time delays occurring in the state variables. Based on the Lyapunov function, novel methodologies for analyzing stability criteria, and the design of an uncertain distributed delay model are presented. The proposed method is an alternative way to study the robustness and stability of uncertain distributed delays with neutral systems. In order to demonstrate the applicability of the results, the investigation considers two specific examples.

New results for global stability of a class of neutral-type neural systems with time delays

This paper studies the global convergence properties of a class of neutral-type neural networks with discrete time delays. This class of neutral systems includes Cohen–Grossberg neural networks, Hopfield neural networks and cellular neural networks. Based on the Lyapunov stability theorems, some delay independent sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium point for this class of neutral-type systems are derived. It is shown that the results presented in this paper for neutral-type delayed neural networks are the generalization of a recently reported stability result. A numerical example is also given to demonstrate the applicability of our proposed stability criteria.
