Adaptive finite-time control for a class of switched nonlinear systems using multiple Lyapunov functions

This paper investigates the problem of global adaptive finite-time stabilisation for a class of switched nonlinearly parameterised systems. Without requiring that each subsystem is globally adaptively finite-time stabilisable, a switched adaptive finite-time control scheme is developed by exploiting the multiple Lyapunov functions method and adding a power integrator technique. By using the parameter separation technique, the unknown parameters are separated from nonlinear functions. On the basis of finite-time Lyapunov stability theory, it is proved that the proposed controller can guarantee that the state of the resulting closed-loop system converges to the origin in finite time. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

针对一类具有不确定性和变量约束的非线性切换系统, 提出了一种基于Lyapunov函数的预测控制方法, 其中状态约束分为两种情况: 1)要求状态变量在所有时刻都满足约束(称为硬约束); 2)允许状态在某些时刻超出约束(称为软约束). 主要思想是: 对切换系统的每一个子系统, 在输入和状态均受约束的情况下, 设计基于Lyapunov函数的有界控制器和预测控制器, 在两者之间适当切换, 得到初始稳定区域的描述并使得子闭环系统保持稳定. 对整个切换系统, 设计适当的切换律以保证: 1)在切换时刻, 闭环系统的状态处在切入系统的稳定区域内; 2)切入模块的Lyapunov函数是非增的, 从而可保证稳定性. 在状态变量的约束是软约束时, 对每一子模块首先设计一个控制策略, 尽快将状态控制到初始稳定区域, 然后再利用稳定区域内的控制律使系统稳定.     

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.

Decentralized event-triggered control strategy in distributed networked systems with delays

Event-triggered control strategies have been recently proposed as alternatives to traditional time-triggered periodic sampling for feedback control systems. This paper studies the event-triggered control problem for distributed networked control systems (NCS). In order to reduce the network traffic and the resource of computation, we propose a new decentralized event-triggered scheme for the NCS, where a subsystem broadcast its state information to its neighbors only when the subsystem’s local state error exceeds a threshold with on-line adaption. The asymptotic stability of the resulting closed-loop system is guaranteed by the event-triggered feedback scheme. In addition, the paper gives the maximal allowable positive bounds on transmission delays for the networked control systems. Finally, the results are illustrated to be efficient by one simulated example.     

Stability and asynchronous stabilization for a class of discrete-time switched nonlinear systems with stable and unstable subsystems

The stability analysis and asynchronous stabilization problems for a class of discrete-time switched nonlinear systems with stable and unstable subsystems are investigated in this paper. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is used to represent each nonlinear subsystem. Through using the T-S fuzzy model, the studied systems are modeled into the switched T-S fuzzy systems. By using the switching fuzzy-basis-dependent Lyapunov functions (FLFs) approach and mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) technique, the stability conditions for the open-loop switched T-S fuzzy systems with unstable subsystems and asynchronous stabilization conditions for the closed-loop switched T-S fuzzy systems with unstable subsystems are obtained. Both the stability results and asynchronous stabilization results are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the results obtained.     

Decentralised zero-sum differential game for a class of large-scale interconnected systems via adaptive dynamic programming

In this paper, a novel decentralised differential game strategy for large-scale nonlinear systems with matched interconnections is developed by using adaptive dynamic programming technique. First, the Nash-equilibrium solutions of the corresponding isolated differential game subsystems are found by appropriately redefining the associated cost functions accounting for the bounds of interconnections. Then, the decentralised differential game strategy is established by integrating all the modified Nash-equilibrium solutions of the isolated subsystems to stabilise the overall system. Next, the solutions of Hamilton–Jacobi–Isaaci equations are approximated online by constructing a set of critic neural networks with adaptation law of weights. The stability analysis of each subsystem is provided to show that all the signals in the closed-loop system are guaranteed to be bounded by utilising Lyapunov method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed decentralised differential game method is illustrated by a simple example.     

Robust stability analysis of switched uncertain systems with multiple time-varying delays and actuator failures

In this paper,the robust stability issue of switched uncertain multidelay systems resulting from actuator failures is considered.Based on the average dwell time approach,a set of suitable switching signals is designed by using the total activation time ratio between the stable subsystem and the unstable one.It is first proven that the resulting closed-loop system is robustly exponentially stable for some allowable upper bound of delays if the nominal system with zero delay is exponentially stable under these switching laws.Particularly,the maximal upper bound of delays can be obtained from the linear matrix inequalities.At last,the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation example.     

Global decentralised stabilisation for a class of uncertain large-scale feedforward nonlinear systems

In this paper, the problem of global decentralised stabilisation for a class of uncertain large-scale feedforward nonlinear systems is investigated. The system under consideration is allowed to contain unknown non-Lipschitz continuous nonlinear terms. The design of the global decentralised controllers takes a two steps procedure. First of all, based on the adding a power integrator technique and the homogeneous domination approach a local homogeneous decentralised controller is proposed for each subsystem of the large-scale feedforward nonlinear system. Then, we integrate a series of nested saturation functions with the homogeneous decentralised controllers and adjust the saturation levels to ensure globally asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system. Simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.     

Stability guaranteed auto-tuning algorithm of a time-delay controller using a modified Nussbaum function

Time-delay control (TDC) has been widely used to control various systems thanks to its simplicity and robustness. The control distribution matrix of TDC is assumed to be constant and tuned heuristically. However, the constant TDC control gain could degrade the system control performance and even cause the closed-loop system to become unstable when the system parameters are substantially changing, resulting in the violation of the stability criterion of TDC. We propose an algorithm for automatic tuning of the TDC gain in order to guarantee stability by using a modified Nussbaum function. Thus, the closed-loop system controlled by TDC with the modified Nussbaum function is proven to be semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. The auto-tuned gain satisfies the stability criterion of TDC and the proposed method can widen the range of implementable dynamic systems. Simulations are conducted to verify the simplicity, robustness, and guaranteed stability by auto-tuning of the proposed method.

Decentralised output-feedback control for a class of large-scale stochastic high-order upper-triangular nonlinear systems

Under the weaker conditions on the drift and diffusion terms, this paper focuses on the global decentralised output-feedback control for a class of large-scale stochastic high-order upper-triangular nonlinear systems. By introducing an appropriate coordinate transformation, the original system is transformed into an equivalent one with tunable gain. After that, by reasonably combing the homogeneous domination approach with stochastic nonlinear systems stability criterion, and skillfully choosing the low gain scale, the decentralised output-feedback controller is constructed for each subsystem to ensure that the closed-loop system is globally asymptotically stable in probability. The simulation example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design scheme.

Observer-based controller of uncertain Switching Positive Linear Systems: A unilaterally tracking scheme

This paper deals with designing a unilateral tracking controller for the Switching Positive Linear Systems (SPLSs). Positive systems are widespread, and most biological, economic systems, and so on, with nonnegative variables, belong to this class of systems. System states are assumed partially unmeasurable; thus, a reduced-order positive switching observer is utilized to improve the closed-loop system response. Also, interval uncertainty is considered to provide a more practical result. In addition, a unilateral tracking controller is developed in this study. The unilateral tracking controller keeps the system and observer states in the same direction as the reference system and system output. Also, the unilateral tracking method avoids overshoot. System stability is presented in synchronous and asynchronous switching conditions. In asynchronous switching mode, controller switches have a time lag behind the system's switching. The switching time lag in asynchronous mode is assumed unknown with a known upper bound for each subsystem. The closed-loop system's stability is guaranteed by utilizing multiple Lyapunov functions, and the Mode Dependent Average Dwell Time (MDADT) strategy. The designed unilateral tracking controller is developed to track a reference system. Also, sufficient conditions are provided to guarantee the L₁-gain performance of the closed-loop system. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to demonstrate the proposed scheme's effectiveness compared with the foremost existing solutions.
