Exponential stability of switched systems with impulsive effect

The exponential stability of a class of switched systems containing stable and unstable subsystems with impulsive effect is analyzed by using the matrix measure concept and the average dwell-time approach. It is shown that if appropriately a large amount of the average dwell-time and the ratio of the total activation time of the subsystems with negative matrix measure to the total activation time of the subsystems with nonnegative matrix measure is chosen, the exponential stability of a desired degree is guaranteed. Using the proposed switching scheme, we studied the robust exponential stability for a class of switched systems with impulsive effect and structure perturbations. Simulations validate the main results.

On delay-dependent robust stability of neutral systems

The delay-dependent robust stability of uncertain linear neutral systems with delays is investigated. Both discrete-delay-dependent/neutral-delay-independent and neutral-/discrete- delay-dependent stability criteria will be developed. The proposed stability criteria are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities and it is easy to check the robust stability of the considered systems. By introducing certain Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional the mathematical development of our result avoids model transformation and bounding for cross terms, which lead to conservatism. Finally, numerical example is given to indicate the improvement over some existing results.     

Delay dependent robust stability of singular systems with additive time-varying delays

This paper considers the problem of delay-dependent robust stability for uncertain singular systems with additive time-varying delays. 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 results are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Passivity-based decentralized stabilization of multi-agent systems with uncertainty and mixed delays

In this paper, we investigate a decentralized stabilization problem of uncertain multi-agent systems with mixed delays including discrete and distributed time-varying delays based on passivity stability. We design a decentralized state-feedback stabilization scheme such that the family of closed-loop feedback subsystems enjoys the delay-dependent passivity stability for each subsystem. Then, by employing a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii function, a linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach is developed to establish the delay-dependent criteria for the passivity stability of multi-agent systems. The sufficient condition is given for checking the passivity stability. The proposed LMI result is computationally efficient. An example is given to show the effectiveness of the method.     

Robust adaptive control for uncertain systems with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, a robust adaptive control scheme is proposed for the stabilization of uncertain linear systems with discrete and distributed delays and bounded perturbations. The uncertainty is assumed to be an unknown continuous function with norm-bounded restriction. The perturbation is sector-bounded. Combining with the liner matrix inequality method, neural networks and adaptive control, the control scheme ensures the exponential stability of the closed-loop system for any admissible uncertainty.     

变时滞不确定Lurie系统的时滞分布依赖鲁棒稳定性分析

In this paper, the problem of robust absolute stability of Lurie system with probabilistic time-varying delay and normbounded parametric uncertainty is considered. The time delay variation range is divided into two sub-intervals. By considering the probability distribution of the time-varying delay between the two sub-intervals and the knowledge of the delay variation range, a novel linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) based stability condition is derived by defining a Lyapunov Krasovskii functional. It is illustrated with the help of numerical examples that the derived stability criteria can lead to less conservative results as compared to the results obtained by the traditional method of using the delay variation range information only.

Stability of matrix second-order systems: new conditions andperspectives

Modeling of many dynamic systems results in matrix second-order differential equations. In the paper, the stability issues of matrix second-order dynamical systems are discussed. In the literature, only sufficient conditions of stability and/or instability for a system in matrix second-order form are available. In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability for time-invariant systems in matrix second-order form under different types of dynamic loadings (conservative/nonconservative) are derived and a physical interpretation is carried out. The stability conditions in the sense of Lyapunov (the jw-axis behavior of eigenvalues) are also analyzed. As the conditions are gained directly in terms of physical parameters of the system, the effect of different loadings on the system stability is made transparent by dealing with the stability issues directly in matrix second-order form     

Stability analysis of linear systems subject to regenerative switchings

This paper investigates the stability of switched linear systems whose switching signal is modeled as a stochastic process called a regenerative process. We show that the mean stability of such a switched system is characterized by the spectral radius of a matrix. The matrix is obtained by taking the expectation of the transition matrix of the system on one cycle of the underlying regenerative process. The characterization generalizes Floquet’s theorem for the stability analysis of linear time-periodic systems. We illustrate the result with the stability analysis of a linear system with a failure-prone controller under periodic maintenance.     

Observers for Lipschitz nonlinear systems

This paper presents some fundamental insights into observer design for the class of Lipschitz nonlinear systems. The stability of the nonlinear observer for such systems is not determined purely by the eigenvalues of the linear stability matrix. The correct necessary and sufficient conditions on the stability matrix that ensure asymptotic stability of the observer are presented. These conditions are then reformulated to obtain a sufficient condition for stability in terms of the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the linear stability matrix. The eigenvalues have to be located sufficiently far out into the left half-plane, and the eigenvectors also have to be sufficiently well-conditioned for ensuring asymptotic stability. Based on these results, a systematic computational algorithm is then presented for obtaining the observer gain matrix so as to achieve the objective of asymptotic stability

Stabilisation of matrix polynomials

A state feedback is proposed to analyse the stability of a matrix polynomial in closed loop. First, it is shown that a matrix polynomial is stable if and only if a state space realisation of a ladder form of certain transfer matrix is stable. Following the ideas of the Routh–Hurwitz stability procedure for scalar polynomials, certain continued-fraction expansions of polynomial matrices are carrying out by unimodular matrices to achieve the Euclid’s division algorithm which leads to an extension of the well-known Routh–Hurwitz stability criteria but this time in terms of matrix coefficients. After that, stability of the closed-loop matrix polynomial is guaranteed based on a Corollary of a Lyapunov Theorem. The sufficient stability conditions are: (i) The matrices of one column of the presented array must be symmetric and positive definite and (ii) the matrices of the cascade realisation must satisfy a commutative condition. These stability conditions are also necessary for matrix polynomial of second order. The results are illustrated through examples.     

Dynamic predictor for systems with state and input delay: A time‐domain robust stability analysis

The robust stability of linear systems with both state and input delay in closed loop with dynamic predictor‐based controller is analyzed. The problem of time‐varying matrix uncertainty is studied in the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii framework. The complete type functional with prescribed derivative expressed in terms of the delay Lyapunov matrix associated with the nominal system is a key piece of our analysis. The robust stability conditions depend on the delay Lyapunov matrix whose computation is carried out. An illustrative example is presented.

Furthermore, a numerical algorithm is provided for checking the stability of matrix polynomials. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the main results.
