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.     

Asymptotic stability of nonlinear systems with unbounded delays

Some asymptotic stability criteria are derived for systems of nonlinear functional differential equations with unbounded delays. The criteria are described as matrix equations or matrix inequalities, which are computationally flexible and efficient. The theories are then applied to the stabilization of time-delay systems via standard feedback control (SFC) or time-delayed feedback control (DFC). Several examples are given to illustrate the results.

This paper proposes a generalized equivalent model transformation method, which can include methods proposed by Fridman et al. and Bellen et al., for the stability analysis of a class of neutral type systems. By using the proposed model transformation method, a class of existing stability criteria derived by the Lyapunov functional approach can be extended to less conservative ones in terms of nonlinear matrix inequalities. Furthermore, procedures to solve these nonlinear matrix inequalities are also proposed.

Sufficiency-Type Stability and Stabilization Criteria for Linear Time-Invariant Systems with Constant Point Delays

We derive a set of criteria of asymptotic stability for linear and time-invariant systems with multirate point delays. The criteria are concerned with -stability local in the delays and -stability independent of the delays and are classified in several groups according to the technique dealt with. The techniques used include both Lyapunov's matrix inequalities and equalities and Gerschgorin's circle theorem. Lyapunov's inequalities are guaranteed if a set of matrices built from matrices of undelayed and delayed dynamics are stability matrices. Some extensions to robust stability of the above results are also discussed.

Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

The study investigates robust synchronization of fractional-order complex dynamical networks with parametric uncertainties. Based on the properties of the kronecker product and the stability of the fractional-order system, the robust synchronization criteria are derived by applying the nonlinear control. These criteria are in the form of linear matrix inequalities which can be readily solved by applying the LMI toolbox. The coupling configuration matrix is not necessary to be symmetric or irreducible, and the inner coupling matrix needs not to be symmetric, diagonal or positive definite. Two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the presented synchronization scheme.     

Dynamic output guaranteed cost controller for neutral systems with input delay

In this paper, we consider a design problem of dynamic output guaranteed cost controller (GCC) of a class of neutral systems with input delay. A quadratic cost function is considered as a performance measure for the closed-loop system. Based on the Lyapunov second method, two stability criteria for existence of the controller are derived in terms of matrix inequalities. The solutions of the matrix inequalities can be easily obtained using existing efficient convex optimization techniques. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed design 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.
