Improved H∞ performance analysis of uncertain Markovian jump systems with overlapping time‐varying delays

In this article, we study the problem of robust H_∞ performance analysis for a class of uncertain Markovian jump systems with mixed overlapping delays. Our aim is to present a new delay‐dependent approach such that the resulting closed‐loop system is stochastically stable and satisfies a prescribed H_∞ performance level χ. The jumping parameters are modeled as a continuous‐time, finite‐state Markov chain. By constructing new Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals, some novel sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the stochastic stability of the equilibrium point in the mean‐square. Numerical examples show that the obtained results in this article is less conservative and more effective. The results are also compared with the existing results to show its conservativeness. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 460–477, 2016     

Robust Stability and Stabilizability of Markov Jump Linear Uncertain Systems with Mode-Dependent Time Delays

This paper studies the class of uncertain linear systems with time delay and Markov jump disturbance, in which the time delay is assumed to be dependent on the system mode. An LMI-based condition for this class of systems to be robustly stable is established. Sufficient conditions for the robust stabilizability under a state feedback controller are developed, and an LMI-based method to design the state feedback is proposed. Numerical examples are worked out to show the usefulness of the theoretical results.

Robust Stability Criterion for Discrete‐Time Nonlinear Switched Systems with Randomly Occurring Delays via T–S Fuzzy Approach

This article investigates exponential stability of uncertain discrete‐time nonlinear switched systems with parameter uncertainties and randomly occurring delays via Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy approach. The randomness of time‐varying delay is characterized by introducing a Bernoulli stochastic variable that follows certain probability distribution. By adopting the average dwell‐time approach with Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using convex reciprocal lemma, delay‐dependent sufficient conditions for exponential stability of the switched fuzzy system are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved readily using any LMI solvers. Finally, illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 20: 49–61, 2015     

Asymptotic Stability of Neutral Systems with Multiple Delays

In this paper, the stability analysis problem for linear neutral delay-differential systems with multiple time delays is investigated. Using the Lyapunov method, we present new sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of systems in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which can be solved easily by various convex optimization algorithms. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the application of the proposed method.     

Robust Stabilization for Dynamic Systems with Multiple Time-Varying Delays and Nonlinear Uncertainties

In this paper, the problem of the robust stabilization for a class of uncertain linear systems with multiple time-varying delays is investigated. The uncertainty is nonlinear time-varying and does not require a matching condition. A memoryless state-feedback controller for the robust stabilization of the system is proposed. Based on the Lyapunov method and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, two sufficient conditions for the stability are derived. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the proposed method.

Global optimization for the Biaffine Matrix Inequality problem

It has recently been shown that an extremely wide array of robust controller design problems may be reduced to the problem of finding a feasible point under a Biaffine Matrix Inequality (BMI) constraint. The BMI feasibility problem is the bilinear version of the Linear (Affine) Matrix Inequality (LMI) feasibility problem, and may also be viewed as a bilinear extension to the Semidefinite Programming (SDP) problem. The BMI problem may be approached as a biconvex global optimization problem of minimizing the maximum eigenvalue of a biaffine combination of symmetric matrices. This paper presents a branch and bound global optimization algorithm for the BMI. A simple numerical example is included. The robust control problem, i.e., the synthesis of a controller for a dynamic physical system which guarantees stability and performance in the face of significant modelling error and worst-case disturbance inputs, is frequently encountered in a variety of complex engineering applications including the design of aircraft, satellites, chemical plants, and other precision positioning and tracking systems.     

Robust control system design for polytopic stable LPV systems

We investigate robust control system design for polytopic stablelinear parameter-varying (LPV) plants using prior and non-real-timeknowledge of the parameter. A gain-scheduled framework and robustmodel matching (RMM) strategy are combined to develop controllers.First, a self-scheduled H-infinity method is applied to designa nominal controller using a known parameter. Then a robustcompensator is added in order to reduce the influence of parameterperturbation due to the real parameter's deviation from thenominal parameter. Thus, a RMM design method that is a practicalapproach to the design of attachable robust compensators forthe linear time-invariant plant, is extended in applicationto the LPV plant. Finally, robust stability of the overall systemfor possible parameter trajectories is confirmed. A design exampleand simulation results are presented in order to demonstratethe proposed method.
