时变滞后Lurie型系统的改进稳定性准则

In this technical note, we present a new stability analysis procedure for ascertaining the delay-dependent stability of a class of Lurie systems with time-varying delay and sector-bounded nonlinearity using Lyapunov-Krasovskii (LK) functional approach. The proposed analysis, owing to the candidate LK functional and tighter bounding of its time-derivative, yields less conservative absolute and robust stability criteria for nominal and uncertain systems respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed criteria over some of the recently reported results is demonstrated using a numerical example.     

时滞分布参数控制系统指数镇定的LMI方法

A renovating method for distributed parameter control systems with constants, varying-delays, and multi-varying-delays is put forward. By constructing average Lyapunov functions and employing linear matrix inequality (LMI) and other matrix inequality technologies, several sufficient conditions for exponential stabilization are derived. In this method, the conditions are delay-dependent and at the same time, the upper-bound of exponential convergence rate is obtained. In addition, the distinctive advantage of our method is that the criteria mentioned in the paper are easy to check, so it can be applied to practice easily. Finally, a computation example is given to illustrate the proposed method.     

具有非线性扰动和混合时滞的中立型系统的时滞依赖鲁棒稳定性

This paper concerns the delay-dependent robust stability problem of uncertain neutral systems with mixed neutral and discrete delays. Nonlinear time-varying parameter perturbations are considered. Based on the newly established integral inequalities, the neutral-delay-dependent and discrete-delay-dependent stability criterion is derived without using a fixed model transformation. The condition is presented in terms of linear matrix inequality and can be easily solved by existing convex optimization techniques. A numerical example is given to demonstrate the less conservatism of the proposed results.     

Further results on delay-distribution-dependent robust stability criteria for delayed systems

This paper concerns the robust stability analysis of uncertain systems with time delays as random variables drawn from some probability distribution. The delay-distribution-dependent criteria for the exponential stability of the original system in mean square sense are achieved by Lyapunov functional method and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. The proposed approach involves neither free weighting matrices nor any model transformation, and it shows that the new criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method.     

Delay-dependent absolute stability criterion for Lurie system with probabilistic interval time-varying delay

In this paper,the absolute stability of Lurie control system with probabilistic time-varying delay is studied. By using a new extended Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional,an improved stability criterion based on LMIs is presented and its solvability heavily depends on the sizes of both the delay range and its derivatives,which has wider application fields than those present results.The efficiency and reduced conservatism of the presented results can be demonstrated by two numerical examples with giving some comparing results.     

多时滞Hopfield神经网络的鲁棒稳定性分析及吸引域的估计

The robust stability of a class of Hopfield neural networks with multiple delays and parameter perturbations is analyzed. The sufficient conditions for the global robust stability of equilibrium point are given by way of constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional. The conditions take the form of linear matrix inequality (LMI), so they are computable and verifiable efficiently. Furthermore, all the results are obtained without assuming the differentiability and monotonicity of activation functions. From the viewpoint of system analysis, our results provide sufficient conditions for the global robust stability in a manner that they specify the size of perturbation that Hopfield neural networks can endure when the structure of the network is given. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of system synthesis, our results can answer how to choose the parameters of neural networks to endure a given perturbation.     

Robust stability and stabilization of discrete singular systems with interval time-varying delay and linear fractional uncertainty

The robust stability and robust stabilization problems for discrete singular systems with interval time-varying delay and linear fractional uncertainty are discussed. A new delay-dependent criterion is established for the nominal discrete singular delay systems to be regular, causal and stable by employing the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. It is shown that the newly proposed criterion can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Then, with this criterion, the problems of robust stability and robust stabilization for uncertain discrete singular delay systems are solved, and the delay-dependent LMI conditions are obtained. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the e?ectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Robust stability criteria for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper considers the robust delay-dependent stability problem of a class of linear uncertain system with interval time-varying delay and proposes less conservative stability criteria for computing the maximum allowable bound of the delay range. Less conservatism of the proposed stability criteria is attributed to the delay-central point method of stability analysis, wherein the delay interval is partitioned into two subintervals of equal length, and the time derivative of a candidate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional based on delay decomposition technique is evaluated in each of these delay segments. In deriving the stability conditions in LMI framework, neither model transformations nor bounding techniques using free-weighting matrix variables are employed for dealing the cross-terms that emerge from the time derivative of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional; instead, they are dealt using tighter integral inequalities. The proposed analysis subsequently yields a stability condition in convex LMI framework that can be solved using standard numerical packages. For deriving robust stability conditions, two categories of system uncertainties, namely, time-varying structured and polytopic-type uncertainties, are considered. The effectiveness of the proposed stability criteria is validated through standard numerical examples.     

Robust H ∞ filter design for time-delay systems with saturation

This paper investigates the H∞ filtering problem for a class of linear continuous-time systems with both time delay and saturation. Such systems have time delay in their state equations and saturation in their output equations, and their process and measurement noises have unknown statistical characteristics and bounded energies. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theorem and the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) technique, a generalized dynamic filter architecture is proposed, and a filter design method is developed. The linear H∞ filter designed by the method can guarantee the H∞ performance. The parameters of the designed filter can be obtained by solving a kind of LMI. An illustrative example shows that the design method proposed in this paper is very effective.

Delay-range-dependent stability for uncertain stochastic systems with interval time-varying delay and nonlinear perturbations

This paper considers the problem of robust stability for a class of uncertain stochastic systems with interval time-varying delay under nonlinear perturbations. A new delay-dependent method for robust stability of the systems is proposed. The innovation of the method includes employment of a tighter integral inequality and construction of an appropriate type of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. The restriction used to bound some trace term in the existing methods is also removed. The resulting criterion derived from this method has advantages over previous ones in that it has less conservatism and enlarges the scope of application. The reduction in conservatism of the proposed criterion is attributed to a method to estimate the upper bound on the stochastic differential of the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional without neglecting any useful terms in the delay-dependent stability analysis. On the basis of the estimation and by utilizing free-weighting matrices, new delay-range-dependent stability criterion is established in terms of linear matrix inequality. Finally, numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness and reduced conservatism of the proposed method.     

LMI stability criterion with less variables for time-delay systems

Slack variables approach is an important technique for tackling the delay-dependent stability problem for systems with time-varying delay. In this paper, a new delay-dependent stability criterion is presented without introducing any slack variable. The technique is based on a simply integral inequality. The result is shown to be equivalent to some existing ones but includes the least number of variables. Thus, redundant selection and computation can be avoided so that the computational burden can be largely reduced. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed stability conditions. Recommended by Editorial Board member Young Soo Suh under the direction of Editor Jae Weon Choi.

Less conservative delay-dependent stability criteria for linear systems with interval time-varying delays

This article provides new delay-dependent stability criteria for linear systems with interval time-varying delays. With a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional constructed, a tighter upper bound of its derivative is estimated. The resulting criterion has an advantage over some existing ones in the literature due to the fact that it involves fewer matrix variables and is less conservative, which is established theoretically. Two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the reduced conservatism of the proposed results.     

A stability criterion for singular systems with two additive time-varying delay components

The problem of stability for singular systems with two additive time-varying delay components is investigated. By constructing a simple type of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and utilizing free matrix variables in approximating certain integral quadratic terms, a delay-dependent stability criterion is established for the considered systems to be regular, impulse free, and stable in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Based on this criterion, some new stability conditions for singular systems with a single delay in a range and regular systems with two additive time-varying delay components are proposed. These developed results have advantages over some previous ones in that they have fewer matrix variables yet less conservatism. Finally, two numerical examples are employed to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained theoretical results.
