Robust stabilization for a class of uncertain dynamical systems with time delay

In this paper, a new and simple approach whereby we derive several sufficient conditions on robust stabilizability for a class of uncertain dynamical systems with time delay is presented. Some analytical methods and the Bellman-Gronwall inequality are employed to investigate these sufficient conditions. The notable features of the results obtained are their simplicity in testing the stability of uncertain dynamical systems with time delay and their clarity in giving insight into system analysis. Finally, several numerical examples are given to demonstrate the utilization of the results.The authors would like to acknowledge the many helpful comments provided by the reviewer. Particularly, in the light of these comments, the proof of Theorem 3.1 has been considerably shortened.

Long time behavior of non-Fickian delay reaction-diffusion equations

In this paper, we investigate the long time behavior of non-Fickian delay reaction-diffusion equations. These kinds of Volterra integro-differential equations are derived by combining a time memory term in the flux and a delay parameter in the reaction term. Energy estimates, dissipativity, asymptotic stability, and contractivity of the problems are obtained. Moreover, we prove that the numerical method discussed in the present paper has the ability to preserve stability and contractivity of the underlying systems. Some confirmations of these are illustrated by using the numerical method on two biological models.     

Sliding mode control experiments of uncertain dynamical systems with time delay

This article presents the simulation and experimental studies for the nonlinear time-delayed dynamical systems with uncertainties. A rotary flexible joint made by Quanser is chosen as the model system to investigate the method for sliding mode control design. We considered the geometric nonlinearity of the flexible joint consisting of two linear springs. The system is assumed to have constant delay time and uncertain parameters with known upper and lower bounds. We also design an optimal sliding surface for the sliding mode control. Simulations and experiments are carried out to demonstrate the utility of the control method. Finally, the results from the simulations and experiments are in excellent agreement.     

Global asymptotic stability of stochastic reaction-diffusion neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms

In this paper, a class of stochastic reaction-diffusion neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms is investigated. By using the Lyapunov functional method and linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, sufficient conditions are derived to ensure the global asymptotic stability of an equilibrium point of the networks in the mean square. The results can be easily solved by MATLAB LMI toolbox. Finally, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and conservativeness of our theoretical results.     

A general method for writing the dynamical equations of nonholonomic systems with ideal constraints

The basic notions of the dynamics of nonholonomic systems are revisited in order to give a general and simple method for writing the dynamical equations for linear as well as non-linear kinematical constraints. The method is based on the representation of the constraints by parametric equations, which are interpreted as dynamical equations, and leads to first-order differential equations in normal form, involving the Lagrangian coordinates and auxiliary variables (the use of Lagrangian multipliers is avoided). Various examples are illustrated.      

Asymptotic behavior of solutions for a class of predator-prey reaction-diffusion systems with time delays

The aim of this paper is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions for a class of three-species predator-prey reaction-diffusion systems with time delays under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. Some simple and easily verifiable conditions are given to the rate constants of the reaction functions to ensure the convergence of the time-dependent solution to a constant steady-state solution. The conditions for the convergence are independent of diffusion coefficients and time delays, and the conclusions are directly applicable to the corresponding parabolic-ordinary differential system and to the corresponding system without time delays.

The existence of a pullback exponential attractor being a family of compact and positively invariant sets with a uniform bound on their fractal dimension which at a uniform exponential rate pullback attract bounded subsets of the phase space under the evolution process is proved for the nonautonomous logistic equation and a system of reaction-diffusion equations with time-dependent external forces including the case of the FitzHugh-Nagumo system.     

Exponential synchronization of stochastic fuzzy cellular neural networks with time delay in the leakage term and reaction-diffusion

Separate studies have been published on the stability of fuzzy cellular neural networks with time delay in the leakage term and synchronization issue of coupled chaotic neural networks with stochastic perturbation and reaction-diffusion effects. However, there have not been studies that integrate the two fields. Motivated by the achievements from both fields, this paper considers the exponential synchronization problem of coupled chaotic fuzzy cellular neural networks with stochastic noise perturbation, time delay in the leakage term and reaction-diffusion effects using linear feedback control. Lyapunov stability theory combining with stochastic analysis approaches are employed to derive sufficient criteria ensuring the coupled chaotic fuzzy neural networks to be exponentially synchronized. This paper also presents an illustrative example and uses simulated results of this example to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed scheme.     

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.     

Numerical path integration method based on bubble grids for nonlinear dynamical systems

A new numerical path integration method based on bubble grids for nonlinear dynamical systems is presented in this paper. The ordinary differential equations for the first and second order moments are derived on the basis of the Gaussian closure method. Then the probability density values on the bubble nodes in the computational domain can be calculated via the obtained method. The good performance of the resulting method is finally shown in the numerical examples by using some specific nonlinear dynamical systems: Duffing oscillator subjected to harmonic and stochastic excitations, and Duffing–Rayleigh oscillator subjected to harmonic and stochastic excitations.     

Stability properties of nonlinear stochastic impulsive systems with time delay

This article establishes mean square stability and stabilization for stochastic delay systems with impulses. Using Razumikhin methodology, two approaches, classical Lyapunov-based method and comparison principle, are proposed to develop sufficient conditions that guarantee the stability and stabilization properties. It is shown that if the continuous system is stable and the impulses are destabilizing, the impulses should not be applied frequently. On the other hand, if the continuous system is unstable, but the impulses are stabilizing, the impulses should occur frequently to compensate the continuous state growth. Numerical examples are also presented to clarify the proposed theoretical results.

Global dynamics for a model of a class of continuous‐time dynamical systems

In this paper, the global asympotic behavior of solutions of a class of continuous‐time dynamical system is studied. Not only do we obtain the ultimate boundedness of solutions of the system but we also obtain the rate of the trajectories of the system going from the exterior of the trapping set to the interior of the trapping set, which can be applied to study chaotic control and chaotic synchronization of the system.

Finite-time synchronization for coupled systems with time delay and stochastic disturbance under feedback control

This paper proposes a framework for finite-time synchronization of coupled systems with time delay and stochastic disturbance under feedback control. Combining Kirchhoff"s Matrix Tree Theorem with Lyapunov method as well as stochastic analysis techniques, several sufficient conditions are derived. Differing from previous references, the finite time provided by us is related to topological structure of networks. In addition, two concrete applications about stochastic coupled oscillators with time delay and stochastic Lorenz chaotic coupled systems with time delay are presented, respectively. Besides, two synchronization criteria are provided. Ultimately, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the obtained results.     

Monotone methods and stability results for nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations with time delay

In this paper, we study the applications of the monotone iteration method for investigating the existence and stability of solutions to nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations with time delay. We emphasize the importance of the idea of monotone iteration schemes for investigating the stability of solutions to such equations. We show that every steady state of such equations obtained by using the monotone iteration method is priori stable and all stable steady states can be obtained by using such method. Finally, we apply our main results to three population models.

Analysis of a fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin method for time-fractional fourth-order problems

In this paper, we propose and analyze a fully discrete local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) finite element method for time-fractional fourth-order problems. The method is based on a finite difference scheme in time and local discontinuous Galerkin methods in space. Stability is ensured by a careful choice of interface numerical fluxes. We prove that our scheme is unconditional stable and convergent. Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of our scheme.     

Global stabilization of switched control systems with time delay

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.     

Novel robust stability criteria for uncertain systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent stability and robust stability criteria for linear systems with time-varying delay and norm-bounded uncertainties. Through constructing a general form of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, and using integral inequalities, some slack matrices and newly established convex combination condition in the calculation, the delay-dependent stability criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the improvement on the conservatism of the delay bound over some reported results in the literature.
