Non-fragile positive real control for uncertain linear neutral delay systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of non-fragile positive real control for uncertain neutral delay systems with time-invariant norm-bounded parameter uncertainty. Time delays are assumed to appear in both the state and the controlled output equations. The state feedback gains are with norm-bounded controller uncertainties. For both the cases with additive and multiplicative controller uncertainties, we address the problem of designing memoryless state feedback controllers such that, for all admissible uncertainties, the resulting closed-loop system is stable and the closed-loop transfer function is extended strictly positive real. Sufficient conditions for the existence of desired controllers are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). When these LMIs are feasible, the expected memoryless state feedback controller can be easily constructed via convex optimization. An illustrative example is given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the proposed approach.     

Robust H∞ control for uncertain discrete-time systems with time-varying delays via exponential output feedback controllers

This paper considers the problem of robust H_∞ control for uncertain discrete systems with time-varying delays. The system under consideration is subject to time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and measured output matrices. Attention is focused on the design of a full-order exponential stable dynamic output feedback controller which guarantees the exponential 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. In terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI), a sufficient condition for the solvability of this problem is presented, which is dependent on the size of the delay. When this LMI is feasible, the explicit expression of the desired output feedback controller is also given. Finally, an example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Anti-windup design of uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump systems with partially known transition probabilities and saturating actuator

This paper carries out a study on the design of anti-windup gains for uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump systems subject to both actuator saturation and partially known transition probabilities. The parameter uncertainties appearing in both the state and input matrices are assumed to be time-varying and norm-bounded. Under the assumption that a set of linear dynamic output feedback controllers have been designed to stabilise the Markovian jump system in the absence of actuator saturation, anti-windup compensation gains are designed for maximising the domain of attraction of the closed-loop system with actuator saturation. Then, by solving a convex optimisation problem with constraints of a set of linear matrix inequalities, the anti-windup compensation gains are obtained. A simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

output feedback control for uncertain stochastic systems with time-varying delays

This paper deals with the problem of H_∞ output feedback control for uncertain stochastic systems with time-varying delays. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be time-varying norm-bounded. The aim is the design of a full-order dynamic output feedback controller ensuring robust exponential mean-square stability and a prescribed H_∞ performance level for the resulting closed-loop system, irrespective of the uncertainties. A sufficient condition for the existence of such an output feedback controller is obtained and the expression of desired controllers is given.     

State estimation for a class of discrete nonlinear systems with randomly occurring uncertainties and distributed sensor delays

In this paper, the state estimation problem is investigated for a class of discrete nonlinear systems with randomly occurring uncertainties and distributed sensor delays. The norm-bounded uncertainties enter into the system in a randomly way, and such randomly occurring uncertainties (ROUs) obey certain Bernoulli distributed white noise sequence with known conditional probability. By constructing a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, sufficient conditions are proposed to guarantee the convergence of the estimation error for all discrete time-varying delays, ROUs and distributed sensor delays. Subsequently, the explicit form of the estimator parameter is derived by solving two linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) which can be easily tested by using standard numerical software. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed estimation scheme.     

Guaranteed cost repetitive control for uncertain discrete-time systems

This paper considers the problem of guaranteed cost repetitive control for uncertain discrete-time systems. The uncertainty in the system is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying. The objective is to develop a novel design method for the repetitive control systems by introducing a robust output feedback controller so that the closed-loop system is quadratically stable and a certain bound of performance index is guaranteed for all admissible uncertainties. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers are derived in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). A suboptimal guaranteed cost controller is obtained by solving an optimization problem with LMI constraints. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.     

Distributed output regulation for multi-agent systems with norm-bounded uncertainties

In this paper, we consider the distributed robust output regulation problem for multi-agent systems (MASs). It is involved with a group of heterogeneous high-order linear uncertain systems and an linear exosystem. The regulated output is a combination of the output of MAS and the exosystem, which is defined based on controlling demands. Distributed controllers are designed to ensure that the regulated output converges to the origin and meanwhile the closed-loop MAS is stable. The sufficient conditions for the solvability of distributed output regulation problem are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. And algorithms are proposed to design distributed dynamic controllers with state feedback and output feedback, via the help of internal models. It is shown that, for any time-invariant norm-bounded uncertainties, the given controllers can realise the objective of output regulation.

Robust sampled-data H ∞ output tracking control for a class of nonlinear networked systems with stochastic sampling

In this article, the problem of robust sampled-data H _∞ output tracking control is investigated for a class of nonlinear networked systems with stochastic sampling and time-varying norm-bounded uncertainties. For the sake of technical simplicity, only two different sampling periods are considered, their occurrence probabilities are given constants and satisfy Bernoulli distribution, and can be extended to the case with multiple stochastic sampling periods. By the way of an input delay, the probabilistic system is transformed into a stochastic continuous time-delay system. A new linear matrix inequality-based procedure is proposed for designing state-feedback controllers, which would guarantee that the closed-loop networked system with stochastic sampling tracks the output of a given reference model well in the sense of H _∞. Conservatism is reduced by taking the probability into account. Both network-induced delays and packet dropouts have been considered. Finally, an illustrative example is given to show the usefulness and effectiveness of the proposed H _∞ output tracking design.

Robust non-fragile guaranteed cost control of uncertain large-scale systems with time-delays in subsystem interconnections

In this paper, the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost-control problem is studied for a class of uncertain linear large-scale systems with time-delays in subsystem interconnections and given quadratic cost functions. The uncertainty in the system is assumed to be norm-bounded and time-varying. Also, the state-feedback gains for subsystems of the large-scale system are assumed to have norm-bounded controller gain variations. The problem is to design a state feedback control law such that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable, and the closed-loop cost function value is not more than a specified upper bound for all admissible uncertainties. Sufficient conditions for the existence of such controllers are derived based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach combined with the Lyapunov method. A parameterized characterization of the robust non-fragile guaranteed cost controllers is given in terms of the feasible solutions to a certain LMI. A numerical example is given to illustrate the proposed method.     

H∞control of interconnected nonlinear sampled-data systems with parametric uncertainty

This paper studies the problem of robust control design for a class of interconnected uncertain systems under sampled measurements. The class of system under consideration is described by a state space model containing unknown cone bounded nonlinear interaction and time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both state and output equations. Our attention is focused on the design of linear dynamic output feedback controllers using sampled measurements. We address the problem of robust H_∞ control in which both robust stability and a prescribed H_∞ performance are required to be achieved irrespective of the uncertainties and nonlinearities. The H_∞ performance measure involves both continuous-time and discrete-time signals. It has been shown that the above problems can be recast into H_∞ syntheses for related N decoupled linear sampled-data systems without parameter uncertainties and unknown nonlinearities, which can be solved in terms of Riccati differential equations with finite discrete jumps. A numerical example is given to show the potential of the proposed technique.     

Discretization and event triggered digital output feedback control of LPV systems

This paper investigates the problem of discretization and digital output feedback control design for continuous-time linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems subject to a time-varying networked-induced delay. The proposed discretization procedure converts a continuous-time LPV system into an equivalent discrete-time LPV system based on an extension of the Taylor series expansion and using an event-based sampling. The scheduling parameters are continuously measured and modeled as piecewise constant. A new transmission of the measured output to the controller is triggered by significant changes in the parameters, yielding time-varying transmission intervals. The obtained discretized model has matrices with polynomial dependence on the time-varying parameters and an additive norm-bounded term representing the discretization residual error. A two step strategy based on linear matrix inequality conditions is then proposed to synthesize a digital static scheduled output feedback control law that stabilizes both the discretized and the LPV model. The conditions can also be used to provide robust (i.e., independent of the scheduling parameter) static output feedback controllers. The viability of the proposed design method is illustrated through numerical examples.

This work investigates the problem of robust output feedback H/sub /spl infin// control for a class of uncertain discrete-time fuzzy systems with time delays. The state-space Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model with time delays and norm-bounded parameter uncertainties is adopted. The purpose is the design of a full-order fuzzy dynamic output feedback controller which ensures the robust asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system and guarantees an H/sub /spl infin// norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation for all admissible uncertainties. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), a sufficient condition for the solvability of this problem is presented.

Robust passivity and feedback passification of a class of uncertain fractional-order linear systems

Theoretical results on robust passivity and feedback passification of a class of uncertain fractional-order (FO) linear systems are presented in the paper. The system under consideration is subject to time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and controlled output matrices. Firstly, some suitable notions of passivity and dissipativity for FO systems are proposed, and the relationship between passivity and stability is obtained. Then, a sufficient condition in the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI) for such system to be robustly passive is given. Based on this condition, the design method of state feedback controller is proposed when the states are available. Moreover, by using matrix singular value decomposition and LMI techniques, the existing condition and method of designing a robust observer-based passive controller for such systems are derived. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical formulation.

ROBUST Hinfinity CONTROL FOR SYSTEMS WITH TIME-VARYING PARAMETER UNCERTAINTY AND VARIANCE CONSTRAINTS

In this paper, the problem of designing robust Hinfinity controllers for linear continuous-time systems subjected to time-varying parameter uncertainty and steady-state variance constraints is considered. The goal of this problem is to design the state feedback controller, such that for all admissible time-varying parameter perturbations, the steady-state variance of each state is not more than the individual prespecified upper bound and the Hinfinity norm of the transfer function from disturbance inputs to system outputs meets the prespecified upper bound constraint, simultaneously. The parameter uncertainties are allowed to be time-varying and norm-bounded. A purely algebraic matrix equation approach is effectively utilized to solve the problem addressed. The existence conditions as well as the explicit expression of desired controllers are presented, and two illustrative examples are used to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed design procedure.
