Robust stabilization of a class of state-dependent jump linear systems

In this article, we consider a continuous-time state-dependent jump linear system (SDJLS), a kind of stochastic hybrid system, with the presence of uncertainties in system parameters. In SDJLS, we consider that the transition rates of the underlying random jump process depend on the state variable. In particular, we assume the transition rates to have different values across suitably defined sets to which the state of the system belongs, and address a problem of robust stability and stabilization analysis. We obtain sufficient conditions for robust stability and state-feedback stabilization in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). We validate the obtained sufficient robust stability and stabilization conditions with numerical examples.

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.     

Robust Analysis and Synthesis for the Nonexistence of Periodic Solutions in a Class of Nonlinear Systems

This paper considers the nonexistence of periodic solutions in a class of nonlinear uncertain systems. Based on the generalized Kalman–Yakubovich–Popov (GKYP) lemma, linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) characterizations are derived to guarantee the nonexistence of periodic solutions in a certain frequency range. The new LMI conditions do not involve any product of the Lyapunov matrix and the system matrices. Based on the results, a dynamic output feedback controller is designed to ensure the nonexistence of periodic solutions in such systems. A concrete application to the Chua circuit shows the applicability and validity of the proposed approach.

Improved results on robust exponential stability criteria for neutral-type delayed neural networks

In this paper, we investigate the problem of robust global exponential stability analysis for a class of neutral-type neural networks. The interval time-varying delays allow for both slow and fast time-varying delays. The values of the time-varying uncertain parameters are assumed to be bounded within given compact sets. Improved global exponential stability condition is derived by employing new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the integral inequality. The developed nominal and robust stability criteria is delay-dependent and characterized by linear-matrix inequalities (LMIs). The developed results are less conservative than previous published ones in the literature, which are illustrated by representative numerical examples.     

Guaranteed Cost Control for a Class of Uncertain Stochastic Impulsive Systems with Markovian Switching

Abstract

This article is concerned with the problem of guaranteed cost control for a class of uncertain stochastic impulsive systems with Markovian switching. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time that such a problem is investigated for stochastic impulsive systems with Markovian switching. For an uncontrolled system, the conditions in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are obtained for robust stochastical stability and an upper bound is given for the cost function. For the controlled systems, a set of LMIs is developed to design a linear state feedback controller which can stochastically stabilize the class of systems under study and guarantee the given cost function to have an upper bound. Further, an optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to minimize the guaranteed cost of the closed-loop system. Finally, a numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Stochastic exponential synchronization for delayed neural networks with semi-Markovian switchings: Saturated heterogeneous sampling communication

By implementing heterogeneous sampling communication mechanism, this article addresses the exponential synchronization issue of drive–response chaotic neural networks (CNNs) with interval time-varying delays by simultaneously taking into account the semi-Markovian switchings and saturating actuators. More specifically, a semi-Markovian jumping model whose transition rates (TRs) are not constant but depends on the sojourn time (ST) is introduced to characterize the stochastic changing among the interaction of CNNs, which makes the NNs model under consideration more suitable for some actual circumstances. More particularly, we assume that the sampling intervals are heterogeneous and time-varying, which may be more practical in real-life applications than homogeneous sampling policy. Additionally, by introducing some new terms, one novel time-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii function (LKF) is ingeniously constructed, which can fully capture the characteristic information of heterogeneous sampling pattern. Benefitting from the introduced relaxed free-weighting matrices (FWM) and resorting to the formed LKF, some sampling-interval-dependent sufficient conditions for controller design of the resulting semi-MJNNs error system are established and expressed by linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). These LMIs-based constraints can be effectively checked by utilizing the available software packages. Therein, the developed synchronization criteria dependent on both the lower and upper bounds of sampling periods, and the available information about the actual sampling pattern is fully considered. Ultimately, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of our theoretical findings.
