ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 1 2006
S. M. Saadni
ABSTRACT This paper deals with the problem of robust stability and robust stabilization for uncertain continuous singular systems with multiple time-varying delays. The parametric uncertainty is assumed to be norm bounded. The purpose of the robust stability problem is to give conditions such that the uncertain singular system is regular, impulse free, and stable for all admissible uncertainties. The purpose of the robust stabilization problem is to design a feedback control law such that the resulting closed-loop system is robustly stable. This problem is solved via generalized quadratic stability approach. A strict linear matrix inequality (LMI) design approach is developed. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method. [source]

Robust exponential stability for discrete-time interval BAM neural networks with delays and Markovian jump parameters

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, Issue 9 2010
Jiqing Qiu
Abstract This paper investigates the problem of global robust exponential stability for discrete-time interval BAM neural networks with mode-dependent time delays and Markovian jump parameters, by utilizing the Lyapunov,Krasovskii functional combined with the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. A new Markov process as discrete-time, discrete-state Markov process is considered. An exponential stability performance analysis result is first established for error systems without ignoring any terms in the derivative of Lyapunov functional by considering the relationship between the time-varying delay and its upper bound. The delay factor depends on the mode of operation. Three numerical examples are given to demonstrate the merits of the proposed method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Adaptive robust H, state feedback control for linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADAPTIVE CONTROL AND SIGNAL PROCESSING, Issue 9 2008
Dan Ye
Abstract This paper considers the problem of adaptive robust H, state feedback control for linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay. The uncertainties are assumed to be time varying, unknown, but bounded. A new adaptive robust H, controller is presented, whose gains are updating automatically according to the online estimates of uncertain parameters. By combining an indirect adaptive control method and a linear matrix inequality method, sufficient conditions with less conservativeness than those of the corresponding controller with fixed gains are given to guarantee robust asymptotic stability and H, performance of the closed-loop systems. A numerical example and its simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Stabilization of networked control systems with short or long random delays: A new multirate method

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 16 2010
Zhi-Hong Guan
Abstract In this paper, the stabilization of a class of networked control systems (NCSs) with time-varying delay is discussed where the random delay is less than one sensor period or more than one sensor period but bounded. A new multirate method is proposed to formulate the union model for both short and long random delays. Sufficient conditions on the existence of stabilizing controllers are established when the transition probability matrix is known. V-K iteration approach is employed to calculate the mode-dependent and mode-independent state-feedback gains of NCSs. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Robust control of T-S fuzzy systems with time-varying delay using new approach

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 14 2010
Hamdi Gassara
Abstract This paper aims to design a controller to robustly stabilize uncertain nonlinear systems with time-varying delay and norm bounded uncertainties via Takagi,Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The stabilization conditions are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities using a single Lyapunov,Krasovskii functional (LKF) combining the introduction of some relaxation matrices and only one tuning parameter. In comparison with the existing techniques in the literature, the proposed approach has two major advantages. The first is the reduction of computational complexity when the number of IF-THEN rules, r, is big. The second concerns the conservatism reduction. Several examples are given to show the effectiveness and the merits of the design procedure. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

Static output feedback sliding mode control for time-varying delay systems with time-delayed nonlinear disturbances

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 7 2010
X. G. Yan
Abstract In this paper, a robust stabilization problem for a class of linear time-varying delay systems with disturbances is studied using sliding mode techniques. Both matched and mismatched disturbances, involving time-varying delay, are considered. The disturbances are nonlinear and have nonlinear bounds which are employed for the control design. A sliding surface is designed and the stability of the corresponding sliding motion is analysed based on the Razumikhin Theorem. Then a static output feedback sliding mode control with time delay is synthesized to drive the system to the sliding surface in finite time. Conservatism is reduced by using features of sliding mode control and systems structure. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Linear quadratic regulation for systems with time-varying delay

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 3 2010
Huanshui Zhang
Abstract In this paper we study the linear quadratic regulation (LQR) problem for discrete-time systems with time-varying delay in the control input channel. We assume that the time-varying delay is of a known upper bound, then the LQR problem is transformed into the optimal control problem for systems with multiple input channels, each of which has single constant delay. The optimal controller is derived by establishing a duality between the LQR and a smoothing estimation for an associated system with a multiple delayed measurement.

Abstract This paper is concerned with delay-dependent exponential stability for stochastic Markovian jump systems with nonlinearity and time-varying delay. An improved exponential stability criterion for stochastic Markovian jump systems with nonlinearity and time-varying delay is proposed without ignoring any terms by considering the relationship among the time-varying delay, its upper bound and their difference, and using both Itô's differential formula and Lyapunov stability theory.

Exponential H, filtering for switched linear systems with interval time-varying delay

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 5 2009
Dong Wang
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of exponential H, filtering for a class of continuous-time switched linear system with interval time-varying delay. The time delay under consideration includes two cases: one is that the time delay is differentiable and bounded with a constant delay-derivative bound, whereas the other is that the time delay is continuous and bounded. Switched linear filters are designed to ensure that the filtering error systems under switching signal with average dwell time are exponentially stable with a prescribed H, noise attenuation level. Based on the free-weighting matrix approach and the average dwell technology, delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the existence of such a filter are derived and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). By solving that corresponding LMIs, the desired filter parameterized matrices and the minimal average dwell time are obtained. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed results. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 13 2008
Tao Li
Abstract This paper concerns delay-range-dependent robust stability and stabilization for time-delay system with linear fractional form uncertainty. The time delay is assumed to be a time-varying continuous function belonging to a given range. On the basis of a novel Lyapunov,Krasovskii functional, which includes the information of the range, delay-range-dependent stability criteria are established in terms of linear matrix inequality. It is shown that the new criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Moreover, the stability criteria are also used to design the stabilizing state-feedback controllers. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 6 2008
Xian-Ming Zhang
Abstract This paper deals with delay-dependent H, control for discrete-time systems with time-varying delay. A new finite sum inequality is first established to derive a delay-dependent condition, under which the resulting closed-loop system via a state feedback is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H, noise attenuation level. Then, an iterative algorithm involving convex optimization is proposed to obtain a suboptimal H, controller. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


Delay-dependent exponential stability for switched delay systems

OPTIMAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS AND METHODS, Issue 4 2009
Dong Wang
Abstract Delay-dependent exponential stability criteria are presented for switched systems consisting of a family of stable and unstable subsystems with interval time-varying delay. Two cases with regard to such delay are considered: one is that time-varying delay function is differentiable and bounded and the other is that time-varying delay function is continuous and bounded. It is very difficult to analyze the stability of such systems due to the existence of time delay and unstable subsystems. By introducing some free-weighting matrices, constructing the new Lyapunov,Krasovskii functional and taking advantage of the average dwell time technique, not only is this difficulty overcome but also sufficient conditions for such criteria are obtained and formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approaches. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


State feedback control synthesis for networked control systems with packet dropout,

ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 1 2009
Yu-Long Wang
Abstract This paper is concerned with the problem of H, controller design for networked control systems (NCSs) with time delay and packet dropout. A combined switching and parameter uncertainty-based method is proposed to deal with time-varying delay. The proposed method can avoid the high computational complexity of the delay switching-based method and introduce less conservatism than the parameter uncertainty-based method. An active varying sampling period method is proposed to make full use of network bandwidth, and a multi-objective optimization methodology in terms of linear matrix inequalities is used to deal with H, controller design for NCSs with active varying sampling period. The simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed active varying sampling period method and the less conservatism of the combined switching and parameter uncertainty-based method.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 17 2009
Xian-Ming Zhang
Abstract This paper is concerned with delay-dependent stability for linear systems with time-varying delays. By decomposing the delay interval into multiple equidistant subintervals, on which different Lyapunov functionals are chosen, and new Lyapunov-Krasvskii functionals are then constructed. Employing these new Lyapunov-Krasvskii functionals, some new delay-dependent stability criteria are established. The numerical examples show that the obtained results are less conservative than some existing ones in the literature. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


On delay-dependent LMI-based guaranteed cost control of uncertain neutral systems with discrete and distributed time-varying delays

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ROBUST AND NONLINEAR CONTROL, Issue 12 2007
Jenq-Der Chen
Abstract In this paper, the problem of designing robust guaranteed cost control law for a class of uncertain neutral system with a given quadratic cost function is considered. Based on Lyapunov,Krasovskii functional theory, a delay-dependent criterion for the existence of guaranteed cost controller is expressed in the form of two linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved by using effective LMI toolbox. Moreover, a convex optimization problem satisfying some LMI constraints is formulated to solve a guaranteed cost controller which achieves the minimization of the closed-loop guaranteed cost. An efficient approach is proposed to design the guaranteed cost control for uncertain neutral systems. Computer software Matlab can be used to solve all the proposed results. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to show the usefulness of our obtained design method. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

OPTIMAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS AND METHODS, Issue 4 2010
Magdi S. Mahmoud
Abstract In this paper, the problem of persistent-bounded disturbance rejection of linear continuous-time systems with time-varying delays is investigated using the tools of invariant set analysis and Lyapunov-function methodology. We derive less conservative sufficient conditions on robust attractor for time-delay systems in terms of strict linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to guarantee the desired ,1 -performance. A robust output-feedback controller is designed and the associated gain is determined using strict LMIs. The developed results are tested on two representative time-delay examples.

Delay-dependent robust passive control for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delays

OPTIMAL CONTROL APPLICATIONS AND METHODS, Issue 5 2008
Jiqing Qiu
Abstract In this paper, the problem of robust passive control for a class of nonlinear systems with time-varying delays is considered. The uncertainties investigated in this paper are norm bounded and time varying, and they enter all system matrices. Based on the Lyapunov,Krasovskii functionals approach, a new robust passive control criterion is proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which is dependent on the size of time delay. We also design a state feedback controller that guarantees a robust asymptotically stable and strictly passive closed-loop system for all admissible uncertainties. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed techniques. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

ASIAN JOURNAL OF CONTROL, Issue 4 2010
Guangdeng Zong
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of robust l2,l, state feedback control for uncertain discrete-time switched systems with mode-dependent time-varying delays. Attention is focused on the design of a switched state feedback controller, which guarantees the asymptotical stability of the closed-loop system and reduces the effect of the disturbance input on the controlled output to a prescribed level for all admissible uncertainties. By resorting to a descriptor system approach, delay-dependent sufficient conditions are presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society [source]

By introducing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, improved delay-dependent stability criteria are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. The activation functions are assumed to be of more general descriptions, which generalize and improve those earlier methods. Finally, a numerical example is given to show that our results are less conservative and more efficient than the existing stability criteria.
