Stability criteria with less LMI variables for linear system with additive time-delays

In this technical note, equivalent stability criterion with minimal number of variables for three recently reported stability criteria is proposed for a class of linear systems with additive time-varying delays. The existing delay-dependent stability criteria for additive time-delay systems have more number of matrix variables in the LMI; and hence, they require more computational cost. The proposed equivalent criteria, unlike the original ones, encompass only the matrix variables that are associated in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, making the criteria mathematically less complex and computationally more attractive. The complexity involved in the existing stability criteria is attributed to the fact the cross-terms that emanate from the time-derivative of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional are dealt with free-weighting matrices. Hence, apart from the matrix variables that are associated in the corresponding Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, the existing criteria also have additional matrix variables in them. In this paper, we have devised techniques to eliminate the free-weighting matrices in the existing stability criteria without sacrificing the conservatism. The resulting equivalent stability criteria, therefore, have least possible number of variables in the LMI; and hence, have minimum computational burden. The effectiveness of the proposed equivalent criteria is validated on a numerical example.     

Weight stability intervals in multicriteria decision aid

In this paper we study the stability of the results given by a wide class of MCDA methods to changes of the weights of the criteria. Three aspects of stability are discussed. In each case we propose to construct stability intervals for the weights of either single criteria or groups of criteria. A necessary and sufficient condition for stability is also considered. The use of these instruments is demonstrated with a numerical example.

Stability of Equilibria of Discrete-Time Systems and Localization of Invariant Compact Sets

The stability (or asymptotic stability) of equilibria of an time-invariant discrete-time system can be verified with the use of stability and asymptotic stability criteria stated in terms of invariant sets. An earlier proposed method reduces the verification of these criteria to some set operations. However, the method is analytical and hard to implement. We propose another approach to the verification of these criteria based on the functional method for localizing invariant compact sets.     

Stability criteria for impulsive systems on time scales

In this paper we study stability of impulsive system on time scales. By using comparison method, Lyapunov function and analysis method, the asymptotic stability criteria for system with impulses at fixed times and impulses at variable times on time scales are obtained, respectively. An example is presented to illustrate the efficiency of proposed result.     

Stability of equilibria of discrete-time systems in terms of invariant sets

Algebraic criteria for stability of linear neutral systems with a single delay

The stability of linear neutral delay-differential systems with a single delay via Routh–Hurwitz and Schur–Cohn criteria is investigated. Some algebraic criteria for delay-independent stability are presented. These criteria may complement those reported in the literature. Finally, two examples illustrate the criteria.     

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.     

Exponential stability and applications of switched positive linear impulsive systems with time-varying delays and all unstable subsystems

The global uniform exponential stability of switched positive linear impulsive systems with time-varying delays and all unstable subsystems is studied in this paper, which includes two types of distributed time-varying delays and discrete time-varying delays. Switching behaviors dominating the switched systems can be either stabilizing and destabilizing in the new designed switching sequence. We design new linear programming algorithm process to find the feasible ratio of stabilizing switching behaviors, which can be compensated by unstable subsystems, destabilizing switching behaviors, and impulses. Specically, we add a kind of nonnegative impulses which is consistent with the switching behaviors for the systems. Employing a multiple co-positive Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, we present several new sufficient stability criteria and design new switching sequence. Then, we apply the obtained stability criteria to the exponential consensus of linear delayed multi-agent systems, and obtain the new exponential consensus criteria. Three simulations are provided to demonstrate the proposed stability criteria.

A further note on stability criteria for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper is a further note on stability criteria for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays. We firstly employed a new method to estimate the upper bound of the derivative of functional, and novel stability criteria are presented for nominal neutral system, which will obtain less conservatism. Then, several sufficient stability conditions are proposed for neutral systems with polytopic uncertainty and linear fractional norm-bound uncertainty. Lastly, three numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and merit of the proposed results. In Appendix, the stability criteria in Lu et al. [21] are rectified.     

Novel delay-dependent asymptotic stability criteria for neural networks with time-varying delays

The problem of delay-dependent asymptotic stability criteria for neural networks (NNs) with time-varying delays is investigated. An improved linear matrix inequality based on delay-dependent stability test is introduced to ensure a large upper bound for time-delay. A new class of Lyapunov function is constructed to derive a novel delay-dependent stability criteria. Finally, numerical examples are given to indicate significant improvement over some existing results.     

Stability of highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic integro-differential delay equations

For the past few decades, the stability criteria for the stochastic differential delay equations (SDDEs) have been studied intensively. Most of these criteria can only be applied to delay equations where their coefficients are either linear or nonlinear but bounded by linear functions. Recently, the stability criterion for highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic differential equations is investigated in Fei et al. (2017). In this paper, we investigate a class of highly nonlinear hybrid stochastic integro-differential delay equations (SIDDEs). First, we establish the stability and boundedness of hybrid stochastic integro-differential delay equations. Then the delay-dependent criteria of the stability and boundedness of solutions to SIDDEs are studied. Finally, an illustrative example is provided.     

ROBUST STABILITY FOR DEGENERATE NEUTRAL SYSTEMS WITH MIXED TIME-VARYING DELAYS

This paper concerns the stability and robust stability criteria for degenerate neu-tral systems with mixed time-varying delays. A method based on the stability of a new operator D and the linear matrix inequalities is presented that makes it easy to calculate both the upper stability bounds and the free weighting matrices. Since the criteria take the time-varying delays and degenerate neutral systems into account, they are less conservative than previous methods. The Matlab LMI toolbox illustrates the impro...

Global asymptotic stability of BAM fuzzy cellular neural networks with time delay in the leakage term,discrete and unbounded distributed delays

In this article, a class of bidirectional associative memory (BAM) fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with time delay in the leakage term, discrete and unbounded distributed delays is formulated to study the global asymptotic stability. This approach is based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional with free-weighting matrices. Using linear matrix inequality (LMI), a new set of stability criteria for BAM FCNNs with time delay in the leakage term, discrete and unbounded distributed delays is obtained. Also, the stability behavior of BAM FCNNs is very sensitive to the time delay in the leakage term. In the absence of a leakage term, a new stability criteria is also derived by employing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and using the LMI approach. Our results establish a new set of stability criteria for BAM FCNNs with discrete and unbounded distributed delays. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques.

Stability analysis of data-driven local model networks

This article discusses stability analysis of data-driven dynamic local model networks. In contrast to traditional fuzzy modelling, the structure and complexity of such model architectures is not unique when only observed input- and output data are available for their parametrization. The present article complements the well-known trade-off between accuracy and complexity by the notion of stability. For this purpose, existing Lyapunov stability criteria for local model networks are extended by a decay rate which represents a scalar and quantitative stability measure. It allows to compare models with different degrees of complexity also in view of their stability. For some of the commonly available Lyapunov stability criteria, the individual local model transitions are crucial. Therefore, in this article, an approach is introduced to determine the actually occurring model transitions by means of the identification data. The methods presented in the article are illustrated and discussed by means of a simulation example. It is shown how model complexity and the related approximation quality can have an adverse impact on the stability and how the outcome of different Lyapunov criteria is affected by the proper determination of local model transitions.
