Stability analysis of impulsive control systems

This paper studies impulsive control systems. Several stability criteria are established by employing the method of Lyapunov functions. These criteria may be used for impulsive feedback control design. As an application, impulsive control of the Lorenz chaotic system is discussed. Numerical experiments are carried out for the control of the Lorenz system. It is shown that small and frequent impulses need to be used in order to stabilize the Lorenz system.     

Stability and robustness of quasi-linear impulsive hybrid systems

Both hybrid dynamical systems and impulsive dynamical systems are studied extensively in the literature. However, impulsive hybrid systems are not yet well studied. Nonetheless, many physical systems exhibit both system switching and impulsive jump phenomena. This paper investigates stability and robust stability of a class of quasi-linear impulsive hybrid systems by using the methods of Lyapunov functions and Riccati inequalities. Sufficient conditions for stability and robust stability of those systems are established. Some examples are given to illustrate the applicability of our results.     

Dwell-time stability and stabilization conditions for linear positive impulsive and switched systems

Several results regarding the stability and the stabilization of linear impulsive positive systems under arbitrary, constant, minimum, maximum and range dwell-time are obtained. The proposed stability conditions characterize the pointwise decrease of a linear copositive Lyapunov function and are formulated in terms of finite-dimensional or semi-infinite linear programs. To be applicable to uncertain systems and to control design, a lifting approach introducing a clock-variable is then considered in order to make the conditions affine in the matrices of the system. The resulting stability and stabilization conditions are stated as infinite-dimensional linear programs for which three asymptotically exact computational methods are proposed and compared with each other on numerical examples. Similar results are then obtained for linear positive switched systems by exploiting the possibility of reformulating a switched system as an impulsive system. Some existing stability conditions are retrieved and extended to stabilization using the proposed lifting approach. Several examples are finally given for illustration.     

Control vector Lyapunov functions for large-scale impulsive dynamical systems

Vector Lyapunov theory has been developed to weaken the hypothesis of standard Lyapunov theory in order to enlarge the class of Lyapunov functions that can be used for analyzing system stability. In this paper, we provide generalizations to the recent extensions of vector Lyapunov theory for continuous-time systems to address stability and control design of impulsive dynamical systems via vector Lyapunov functions. Specifically, we provide a generalized comparison principle involving hybrid comparison dynamics that are dependent on the comparison system states as well as the nonlinear impulsive dynamical system states. Furthermore, we develop stability results for impulsive dynamical systems that involve vector Lyapunov functions and hybrid comparison inequalities. Based on these results, we show that partial stability for state-dependent impulsive dynamical systems can be addressed via vector Lyapunov functions. Furthermore, we extend the recently developed notion of control vector Lyapunov functions to impulsive dynamical systems. Using control vector Lyapunov functions, we construct a universal hybrid decentralized feedback stabilizer for a decentralized affine in the control nonlinear impulsive dynamical system that possesses guaranteed gain and sector margins in each decentralized input channel. These results are then used to develop hybrid decentralized controllers for large-scale impulsive dynamical systems with robustness guarantees against full modeling and input uncertainty.     

Stability of singularly perturbed switched systems with time delay and impulsive effects

This paper studies the stability properties of singularly perturbed switched systems with time delay and impulsive effects. Such systems are assumed to consist of both unstable and stable subsystems. By using the multiple Lyapunov functions technique and the dwell time approach, some stability criteria are established. Our results show that impulses do contribute in order to obtain stability properties even when the system consists of only unstable subsystems. Numerical examples are presented to verify our theoretical results.     

Razumikhin-type theorems on exponential stability of impulsive infinite delay differential systems

In this note, we study the exponential stability of impulsive functional differential systems with infinite delays by using the Razumikhin technique and Lyapunov functions. Several Razumikhin-type theorems on exponential stability are obtained, which shows that certain impulsive perturbations may make unstable systems exponentially stable. Some examples are discussed to illustrate our results.     

Impulsive systems with hybrid delayed impulses: Input-to-state stability

This paper investigates input-to-state stability (ISS) and integral-input-to-state stability (iISS) of nonlinear impulsive systems with hybrid delayed impulses. Based on Lyapunov method, some sufficient conditions ensuring ISS and iISS of impulsive systems are obtained, where the time derivative of Lyapunov function is indefinite, and the hybrid effects of delayed impulses are also fully considered. It is shown that the impulsive system is ISS provided that the combined action of time delay existing in impulses, continuous dynamic, and the cumulative strength of hybrid impulses satisfies some conditions, even if the hybrid delayed impulses play a destabilizing effect on ISS. Examples and their simulations are presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed results.     

Global exponential synchronization of nonlinear time-delay Lur’e systems via delayed impulsive control

This paper is concerned with the global exponential synchronization problem of two identical nonlinear time-delay Lur’e systems via delayed impulsive control. Some novel impulsive synchronization criteria are obtained by introducing a discontinuous Lyapunov function and by using the Lyapunov–Razumikhin technique, which are expressed in forms of linear matrix inequalities. The derived criteria reveal the effects of impulsive input delays and impulsive intervals on the stability of synchronization error systems. Then, sufficient conditions on the existence of a delayed impulsive controller are derived by employing these newly-obtained synchronization criteria. Additionally, some synchronization criteria for two identical time-delay Lur’e systems with impulsive effects are presented by using delayed continuous feedback control. The synchronization criteria via delayed continuous feedback control can deal with the case when the impulsive control strategy fails to synchronize two identical impulsive time-delay Lur’e systems. Three numerical examples are provided to illustrate the efficiency of the obtained results.     

Stability of complex-valued impulsive and switching system and application to the Lü system

In this paper, the stability of complex-valued impulsive and switching system is addressed. By using switched Lyapunov functions on a complex field, some new stability criteria of complex-valued impulsive and switching systems are established, which not only generalize some known results in the literature, but also greatly reduce the complexity of analysis and computation. As an application, a new hybrid impulsive and switching feedback controller for the complex-valued chaotic Lü system is designed.

Hybrid event-triggered and impulsive control for time-delay systems

In this paper, we study the problem of hybrid event-triggered control for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems. Using a Razumikhin-type input-to-state stability result for time-delay systems, we design an event-triggered control algorithm to stabilize the given time-delay system. In order to exclude Zeno behavior, we combine the impulsive control mechanism with our event-triggered strategy. In this sense, the proposed algorithm is a hybrid impulsive and event-triggered strategy. Sufficient conditions for the stabilization of the nonlinear systems with time delay are obtained by using Lyapunov method and Razumikhin technique. Numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

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.     

Stability analysis of impulsive functional systems of fractional order

In this paper, a class of impulsive fractional functional differential systems is investigated. Sufficient conditions for stability of the zero solution are proved, extending the corresponding theory of impulsive functional differential equations. The investigations are carried out by using the comparison principle, coupled with the Lyapunov function method. We apply our results to an impulsive single species model of Lotka–Volterra type.     

Modeling and analysis of a modified Leslie–Gower type three species food chain model with an impulsive control strategy

This paper describes a modified Leslie–Gower type three species food chain model with harvesting. We have incorporated impulsive control strategy to the system. Theories of impulsive differential equations, small amplitude perturbation skills and comparison technique are used to study dynamical behavior of the system. Sufficient conditions are derived to ensure global stability of the lowest-level prey and mid-level predator eradication periodic solution. Sufficient conditions are also derived to examine the permanence of the system. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify the analytical results, and the system is analyzed through graphical illustrations. It is observed that the stability of the system exhibits several states, ranging from stable situation to cyclic oscillatory behavior, under different favorable conditions. These results are useful to study the dynamic complexity of ecological systems. The computation of the largest Lyapunov exponent demonstrates the chaotic dynamic nature of the system. The qualitative nature of strange attractor is examined. It is to be noted that the harvesting effort can cause a stable equilibrium to become unstable and even a switching of stabilities.

The notion of perturbing Lyapunov functions enables us to discuss stability properties of impulsive systems under much weaker assumptions. The reported novel results complement the existing results. It may provide a greater prospect for solving problems which exhibit impulsive effects.

Exponential stability of nonlinear state-dependent delayed impulsive systems with applications

The exponential stability problem for impulsive systems subject to double state-dependent delays is studied in this paper, where state-dependent delay (SDD) is involved in both continuous dynamics and discrete dynamics and the boundedness of it with respect to states is prior unknown. According to impulsive control theory, we present some Lyapunov-based sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of the concerned system. It is shown that the stabilizing effect of SDD impulses on an unstable SDD system changes the stability and achieves desired performance. In addition, the destabilizing effect of SDD impulses is also fully considered and the corresponding sufficient conditions are derived, which reveals the fact that a stable SDD system can maintain its performance when it is subject to SDD impulsive disturbance. As an application, the proposed result can be employed to the stability analysis of impulsive genetic regulatory networks (GRNs) with SDD and the corresponding sufficient conditions are proposed in terms of the model transformation technique and the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) technique. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the derived results, we give two examples including impulsive GRNs with SDD and the impulsive controller design for the nonlinear system with SDD.
