On robust stability of neutral systems with time-varying discrete delay and norm-bounded uncertainty

This paper investigates the robust stability of uncertain linear neutral systems with time-varying discrete delay. A delay-dependent stability criterion is obtained and formulated in the form of a linear matrix inequality. Two numerical examples are given to indicate significant improvements over some existing results.     

Delay-dependent robust stability for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the delay-dependent robust stability problem for uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay. The time-varying delay is assumed to belong to an interval and no restriction on the derivative of the time-varying delay is needed, which allows the delay to be a fast time-varying function. The uncertainty under consideration is norm-bounded, and possibly time-varying, uncertainty. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional approach, a stability criterion is derived by introducing some relaxation matrices that can be used to reduce the conservatism of the criteria. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Delay-range-dependent stability for systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis for systems with time-varying delay in a range. An appropriate type of Lyapunov functionals is proposed to investigate the delay-range-dependent stability problem. The present results may improve the existing ones due to a method to estimate the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functional without ignoring some useful terms and the introduction of additional terms into the proposed Lyapunov functional, which take into account the range of delay. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method.     

Stability analysis for continuous systems with two additive time-varying delay components

This paper presents a new result of stability analysis for continuous systems with two additive time-varying delay components, which represent a general class of delay systems with strong application background in network based control systems. This criterion is expressed as a set of linear matrix inequalities, which can be readily tested by using standard numerical software. A numerical example is provided to show the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed stability condition.     

Delay-dependent criteria for robust stability of time-varying delay systems

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust stability for systems with time-varying structured uncertainties and time-varying delays. Some new delay-dependent stability criteria are devised by taking the relationship between the terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula into account. Since free weighting matrices are used to express this relationship and since appropriate ones are selected by means of linear matrix inequalities, the new criteria are less conservative than existing ones. Numerical examples suggest that the proposed criteria are effective and are an improvement over previous ones.     

Delay-dependent criteria for the robust stability of systems with time-varying delay

The problem of delay-dependent robust stability for systems with time-varying delay has been considered. By using the S-procedure and the Park's inequality in the recent issue, a delay-dependent robust stability criterion which is less conservative than the previous results has been derived for time-delay systems with time-varying structured uncertainties. The same idea has also been easily extended to the systems with nonlinear perturbations. Numerical examples illustrated the effectiveness and the improvement of the proposed approach.     

Delay-range-dependent robust stabilization for uncertain T-S fuzzy control systems with interval time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with robust stabilization for a class of T-S fuzzy control systems with interval time-varying delays. An approach is proposed to significantly improve the system performance while reducing the number of scalar decision variables in linear matrix inequalities. The main points of the approach are: (i) two coupling integral inequalities are proposed to deal with some integral items in the derivation of the stability criteria; (ii) an appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed by including both the lower and upper bounds of the interval time-varying delays; and (iii) neither model transformation nor free weighting matrices are employed in the theoretical result derivation. As a result, some improved sufficient stability criteria are derived, and the maximum allowable delay bound and controller gains can be obtained simultaneously by solving an optimization problem. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

New stability criteria for linear systems with interval time-varying delay

This paper investigates robust stability of uncertain linear systems with interval time-varying delay. The time-varying delay is assumed to belong to an interval and is a fast time-varying function. The uncertainty under consideration includes polytopic-type uncertainty and linear fractional norm-bounded uncertainty. A new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which makes use of the information of both the lower and upper bounds of the interval time-varying delay, is proposed to drive some new delay-dependent stability criteria. In order to obtain much less conservative results, a tighter bounding for some term is estimated. Moreover, no redundant matrix variable is introduced. Finally, three numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed stability criteria.     

Delay-dependent robust stabilisation of uncertain discrete-time switched systems with time-varying state delay

This paper considers the stabilisation problem for uncertain discrete-time switched systems with time-varying delay in the state. The uncertainty is assumed to be of structured linear fractional form, which includes the norm-bounded uncertainty as a special case. A stability condition is first proposed by using switched Lyapunov function, which is dependent on the minimum and maximum delay bounds. Based on the result, a switched state feedback controller is designed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the result.     

New stability criteria of singular systems with time-varying delay via free-matrix-based integral inequality

This paper concerns the stability problem of singular systems with time-varying delay. First, the singular system with time-varying delay is transformed into the neutral system with time-varying delay. Second, a more proper Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) is constructed by adding some integral terms to quadratic forms. Then, to obtain less conservative conditions, the free-matrix-based integral inequality is adopted to estimate the derivative of LKF. As a result, some delay-dependent stability criteria are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
