Improved stability criteria and controller design for linear neutral systems

This paper is concerned with the problems of stability and H_∞ control of linear neutral systems. Firstly, some new simple Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals are constructed by uniformly dividing the discrete delay interval into multiple segments, and choosing proper functionals with different weighted matrices corresponding to different segments in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. Then using these new simple Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, some new delay-dependent stability criteria are derived. These criteria include some existing results as their special cases and are much less conservative than some existing results, which is shown through a numerical example. Secondly, a delay-dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) is established. Employing the obtained BRL, some delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the existence of a delayed state feedback controller, which ensure asymptotic stability and a prescribed H_∞ performance level of the corresponding closed-loop system, is formulated in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). A numerical example is also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the design method.

Improved delay-dependent bounded real lemma for uncertain time-delay systems

This paper concerns reducing the conservatism of delay-dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) of time-delay systems with uncertainty described by a linear fractional form. By introducing an augmented Lyapunov functional, an improved BRL is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Theoretical comparisons show that the obtained BRL is less conservative than some previous ones and the recent results in [S.Y. Xu, L. James, Y. Zou, New results on delay-dependent robust H_∞ control for systems with time-varying delays, Automatica 42 (2006) 343-348; T. Li, L. Guo, C. Lin, Y.M. Zhang, Delay-range-dependent bounded real lemma for time-delay systems, Asian Journal of Control 10 (2008) 708-717] are actually equivalent to the special cases of the obtained BRL. Numerical examples are also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.     

On control for linear systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust H_∞ control for linear time-delay systems with norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying, uncertainty. The time-delay is assumed to be a time-varying continuous function belonging to a given interval, which means that the lower and upper bounds for the time-varying delay are available, and no restriction on the derivative of the time-varying delay is needed, which allows the time-delay to be a fast time-varying function. Based on an integral inequality, which is introduced in this paper, and Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional approach, a delay-dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) is first established without using model transformation and bounding techniques on the related cross product terms. Then employing the obtained BRL, a delay-dependent condition for the existence of a state feedback controller, which ensures asymptotic stability and a prescribed H_∞ performance level of the closed-loop systems for all admissible uncertainties, is proposed in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). A numerical example is also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Improved H ∞ analysis of Markovian jumping stochastic systems with time-varying delays

This article investigates the problems of H _∞ analysis for Markovian jump stochastic systems with both nonlinear disturbance and time-varying delays. By virtue of the delay partition approach, the improved delay-dependent stochastic stability and bounded real lemma (BRL) for Markovian jump stochastic systems are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The proposed approach involves neither free weighting matrices nor any model transformation, and it is shown that the new criteria have the capability of providing less conservative results than the state-of-the-art. Two numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in comparison with existing methods.

Dynamic Output Feedback H∞ Control Problem for Linear Neutral Systems

This note presents the solvability conditions of the dynamic output feedback H_infin control problem for linear neutral systems with time- varying state delays in the delay-dependent case, where the delay is assumed to be time-varying continuous or differentiable uniformly bounded function, but no restriction on the derivative of the delay is needed, which means that the delay may be the fast time-varying function. An improved delay-dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) for a closed-loop system is established. Based on the obtained BRL, the dynamic output feedback H_infin controller is designed in terms of the linear matrix inequalities with inverse constraints. An iterative algorithm involving convex optimization methods is used to satisfy these constraints. The proposed results are illustrated in the examples.

Delay-dependent exponential stability of stochastic systems with time-varying delay, nonlinearity, and Markovian switching

The problem of delay-dependent stability in the mean square sense for stochastic systems with time-varying delays, Markovian switching and nonlinearities is investigated. Both the slowly time-varying delays and fast time-varying delays are considered. Based on a linear matrix inequality approach, delay-dependent stability criteria are derived by introducing some relaxation matrices which can be chosen properly to lead to a less conservative result. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the method and significant improvement of the estimate of stability limit over some existing results in the literature.     

Delay-dependent H-infinity control for continuous time-delay systems via state feedback

The delay-dependent H-infinity analysis and H-infinity control problems for continuous time-delay systems are studied. By introducing an equality with some free weighting matrices, an improved criterion of delay-dependent stability with H-infinity performance for such systems is presented, and a criterion of existence and some design methods of delay-dependent H-infinity controller for such systems are proposed in term of a set of matrix inequalities, which is solved efficiently by an iterative algorithm. Further, the corresponding results for the delay-dependent robust H-infinity analysis and robust H-infinity control problems for continuous time-delay uncertain systems are given. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method by comparing with the other existing results.     

New Approach to Delay-Dependent Stability Analysis and Stabilization for Continuous-Time Fuzzy Systems With Time-Varying Delay

This paper is concerned with delay-dependent stability analysis and stabilization problems for continuous-time Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with a time-varying delay. A new method for the delay-dependent stability analysis and stabilization is suggested, which is less conservative than other existing ones. First, based on a fuzzy Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), a delay-dependent stability criterion is derived for the open-loop fuzzy systems. In the derivation process, some free fuzzy weighting matrices are introduced to express the relationships among the terms of the system equation, and among the terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula. Then, a delay-dependent stabilization condition based on the so-called parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme is worked out for the closed-loop fuzzy systems. The proposed stability criterion and stabilization condition are represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and compared with the existing ones via two examples. Finally, application to control of a truck-trailer is also given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.
