Stability Analysis for Delayed Neural Networks with Discontinuous Neuron Activations

This paper considers a class of delayed neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations. Based on the theory of differential equations with discontinuous right‐hand sides, some novel sufficient conditions are derived that ensure the existence and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point. Moreover, by adopting the concept of convergence in measure, convergence behavior for the output is discussed. The obtained results are independent of the delay parameter and can be thought of as a generalization of previous results established for delayed neural networks with Lipschtz continuous neuron activations to the discontinuous case. Finally, we give a numerical example to illustrate the effectiveness and novelty of our results by comparing our results with those in the early literature.     

Robust Saturated PI Joint Velocity Control for Robot Manipulators

It is well known that many industrial manipulators use an embedded linear proportional‐integral (PI) joint velocity controller to guarantee motion control through proper velocity commands. However, although this control scheme has been very successful in practice, not much attention has been paid to designing new PI velocity control structures. The problem of analyzing a saturated PI velocity joint velocity controller is addressed in this paper. By using the theory of singularly perturbed systems, the closed‐loop system is studied. The robot dynamics assumed in this paper take into account bounded time–varying disturbances which may include the friction at the joints. An experimental study in a planar two degrees‐of‐freedom direct‐drive robot is also presented, confirming the advantage of the new saturated PI joint velocity controller.     

Robust Absolute Stability Analysis of Multiple Time‐Delay Lur'e Systems With Parametric Uncertainties

The problem of robust absolute stability for time‐delay Lur'e systems with parametric uncertainties is investigated in this paper. The nonlinear part of the Lur'e system is assumed to be both time‐invariant and time‐varying. The structure of uncertainty is a general case that includes norm‐bounded uncertainty. Based on the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theory, some delay‐dependent sufficient conditions for the robust absolute stability of the Lur'e system will be derived and expressed in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). These conditions reduce the conservativeness in computing the upper bound of the maximum allowed delay in many cases. Numerical examples are given to show that the proposed stability criteria are less conservative than those reported in the established literatures.
