Controllability analysis of linear time-varying systems with multiple time delays and impulsive effects

In this paper, the issue of controllability for linear time-varying systems with multiple time delays in the control and impulsive effects is addressed. The solution of such systems based on the variation of parameters is derived. Several sufficient and necessary algebraic conditions for two kinds of controllability, i.e., controllability to the origin and controllability, are derived. The relation among these conditions are established. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

State constrained optimal control problems with time delays

In a recent, related, paper, necessary conditions in the form of a Maximum Principle were derived for optimal control problems with time delays in both state and control variables. Different versions of the necessary conditions covered fixed end-time problems and, under additional hypotheses, free end-time problems. These conditions improved on previous conditions in the following respects. They provided the first fully non-smooth Pontryagin Maximum Principle for problems involving delays in both state and control variables, only special cases of which were previously available. They provide a strong version of the Weierstrass condition for general problems with possibly non-commensurate control delays, whereas the earlier literature does so only under structural assumptions about the dynamic constraint. They also provided a new ‘two-sided’ generalized transversality condition, associated with the optimal end-time. This paper provides an extension of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle of the earlier paper for time delay systems, to allow for the presence of a unilateral state constraint. The new results fully recover the necessary conditions of the earlier paper when the state constraint is absent, and therefore retain all their advantages but in a setting of greater generality.

Exponential stability criteria of uncertain systems with multiple time delays

The exponential stability (with convergence rate α) of uncertain linear systems with multiple time delays is studied in this paper. Using the characteristic function of linear time-delay system, stability criteria are derived to guarantee α-stability. Sufficient conditions are also obtained for exponential stability of uncertain parametric systems with multiple time delays. For two-dimensional time-invariant system with multiple time delays, the proposed stability criteria are shown to be less conservative than those in the literature. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity of our new stability criteria.

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

Great time delay in a system with material cycling and delayed biomass growth

In this paper, we consider the effects of time delay on thelinear stability of the positive equilibrium of a reaction–diffusionmodel with time delayed nutrient recycling. We take the twodelay kernels as f(s) = (s), g(s) = p(0) + (1 – p)(r),s (0, +), r [0, +), 0 < p < 1, where is the Dirac deltafunction. When both N₁ and N₂ are space-independent, we canobserve that the increasing time delay destabilizes the positiveequilibrium, and stability-switches from stability to instabilityto stability occur. That is, for some special time delay kernels,the equilibrium is stable for small time delay, bifurcates towardsstable oscillations when the time delay is increased, then regainsstability for larger values. When both N₁ and N₂ are space-dependent,we are concerned with the effects of the delay kernels as wellas diffusion on the dynamics of the system.     

Exponential stability analysis of Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, we study Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (CGNN) with time-varying delay.

Our results complement previously known results.     

Stability switches, bifurcation, and multi-stability of coupled networks with time delays

This paper reveals the dynamical behaviors of a network consisting of a pair of ring sub-networks and two-way couplings of neurons between the individual sub-networks. Time delays are introduced into the internal connections within the individual sub-networks and the couplings between the individual sub-networks. The stability and instability of the trivial equilibrium of the network are analyzed and the conditions for the existence of Hopf bifurcation are obtained by discussing the associated characteristic equation. The criterion for the global stability of the trivial equilibrium of the network is given by constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. Numerical simulations are performed to validate the theoretical results and rich dynamical behaviors are observed, such as multiple stability switches of the network equilibrium, synchronous/asynchronous oscillations, and multi-stability.
