On Dynamic Output Feedback Guaranteed Cost Control of Uncertain Discrete-Delay Systems: LMI Optimization Approach

In this paper, we consider a design problem of dynamic output feedback controller for guaranteed cost stabilization of discrete-delay systems with norm-bounded time-varying parameter uncertainties. A linear-quadratic cost function is considered as a performance measure for the closed-loop system. Based on the Lyapunov second method, several stability criteria for the existence of the controller are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The solutions of the LMIs can be obtained easily using existing efficient convex optimization techniques. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.     

Delay-dependent nonfragile guaranteed cost control for nonlinear time-delay systems

This paper concerns the nonfragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of nonlinear dynamic systems with multiple time delays and controller gain perturbations. Guaranteed cost control law is designed under two classes of perturbations, namely, additive form and multiplicative form. The problem is to design a memoryless state feedback control law such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, some delay-dependent conditions for the existence of such controller are derived. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.

Non-fragile guaranteed cost control of uncertain large-scale systems with time-varying delays

The robust non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem is studied in this paper for a class of uncertain linear large-scale systems with time-varying delays in subsystem interconnections and given quadratic cost functions. The uncertainty in the system is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying. Also, the state-feedback gains for subsystems of the large-scale system are assumed to have norm-bounded controller gain variations. The problem is to design state feedback control laws such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers are derived based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach combined with the Lyapunov method. A parameterized characterization of the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost controllers is given in terms of the feasible solutions to a certain LMI. Finally, in order to show the application of the proposed method, a numerical example is included.

Fuzzy guaranteed cost controller for trajectory tracking in nonlinear systems

In this paper, we propose a fuzzy logic based guaranteed cost controller for trajectory tracking in nonlinear systems. Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model is used to represent the dynamics of a nonlinear system and the controller design is carried out using this fuzzy model. State feedback law is used for building the fuzzy controller whose performance is evaluated using a quadratic cost function. For designing the fuzzy logic based controller which satisfies guaranteed performance, linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach is used. Sufficient conditions are derived in terms of matrix inequalities for minimizing the performance function of the controller. The performance function minimization problem with polynomial matrix inequalities is then transformed into a problem of minimizing a convex performance function involving standard LMIs. This minimization problem can be solved easily and efficiently using the LMI optimization techniques. Our controller design method also ensures that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable. Simulation study is carried out on a two-link robotic manipulator tracking a reference trajectory. From the results of the simulation study, it is observed that our proposed controller tracks the reference trajectory closely while maintaining a guaranteed minimum cost.

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.

Robust consensus of nonlinear multi‐agent systems via reliable control with probabilistic time delay

In this paper, the consensus problem of uncertain nonlinear multi‐agent systems is investigated via reliable control in the presence of probabilistic time‐varying delay. First, the communication topology among the agents is assumed to be directed and fixed. Second, by introducing a stochastic variable which satisfies Bernoulli distribution, the information of probabilistic time‐varying delay is equivalently transformed into the deterministic time‐varying delay with stochastic parameters. Third, by using Laplacian matrix properties, the consensus problem is converted into the conventional stability problem of the closed‐loop system. The main objective of this paper is to design a state feedback reliable controller such that for all admissible uncertainties as well as actuator failure cases, the resulting closed‐loop system is robustly stable in the sense of mean‐square. For this purpose, through construction of a suitable Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional containing four integral terms and utilization of Kronecker product properties along with the matrix inequality techniques, a new set of delay‐dependent consensus stabilizability conditions for the closed‐loop system is obtained. Based on these conditions, the desired reliable controller is designed in terms of linear matrix inequalities which can be easily solved by using any of the effective optimization algorithms. Moreover, a numerical example and its simulations are included to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed control design scheme. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reliable gain‐scheduled control design for networked control systems

In this article, the problem of reliable gain‐scheduled H_∞ performance optimization and controller design for a class of discrete‐time networked control system (NCS) is discussed. The main aim of this work is to design a gain‐scheduled controller, which consists of not only the constant parameters but also the time‐varying parameter such that NCS is asymptotically stable. In particular, the proposed gain‐scheduled controller is not only based on fixed gains but also the measured time‐varying parameter. Further, the result is extended to obtain a robust reliable gain‐scheduled H_∞ control by considering both unknown disturbances and linear fractional transformation parametric uncertainties in the system model. By constructing a parameter‐dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, a new set of sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The existence conditions for controllers are formulated in the form of LMIs, and the controller design is cast into a convex optimization problem subject to LMI constraints. Finally, a numerical example based on a station‐keeping satellite system is given to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed reliable control law. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Sufficient conditions for the existence of the reliable controller are formulated in terms of a set of LMIs. Then the proposed approach is extended to take into account switched delay systems with Lipschitz nonlinearities and structured uncertainties. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
