Delay-dependent Conditions for Absolute Stability of Lurie Control Systems with Time-varying Delay

Some delay-dependent absolute stability criteria for Lurie control systems with time- varying delay are derived,in which some free-weighting matrices are used to express the relation- ships between the terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula.These criteria are based on linear matrix inequality(LMI) such that the upper bound of time-delay guaranteeing the absolute stability and the free-weighting matrices can be obtained through the solutions of the LMI.Moreover,the Lyapunov functional constructed by the solutions of these LMIs is adopted to guarantee the absolute stability of the systems.Finally,some examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

On Delay-independent Stability Criteria for Linear Time-delay Systems

Several LMI representations for delay-independence stability are proposed by applying Projection Lemma and the so- called“Small Scalar Method”.These criteria realize the elimination of the products coupling the system matrices and Lyapunov matrices by introducing some additional matrices.When they are applied to robust stability analysis for polytopic uncertain systems, the vertex-dependent Lyapunov functions are allowed,so less conservative results can be obtained.A numerical example is employed to illustrate the effect of these proposed criteria.     

Further results on delay-distribution-dependent robust stability criteria for delayed systems

This paper concerns the robust stability analysis of uncertain systems with time delays as random variables drawn from some probability distribution. The delay-distribution-dependent criteria for the exponential stability of the original system in mean square sense are achieved by Lyapunov functional method and the linear matrix inequality (LMI) technique. The proposed approach involves neither free weighting matrices nor any model transformation, and it shows that the new criteria can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method.

Parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional for systems with multiple time delays

The separation of the Lyapunov matrices and system matrices plays an important role when one use sparameter-dependent Lyapunov functional handling systems with polytopic type uncertainties. The delay-dependent robust stability problem for systems with polytopic type uncertainties is discussed by using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional. The derivative term in the derivative of Lyapunov functional is reserved and the free weighting matrices are employed to express the relationship between the terms in the system equation such that the Lyapunov matrices are not involved in any product terms with the system matrices. In addition, the relationships between the terms in the Leibniz Newton formula are also described by some free weighting matrices and some delay-dependent stability conditions are derived. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed criteria are more effective than the previous results.

Moreover, the criteria are applicable to the case whether the derivative of the time-varying delay is bounded or not. The state decay rate is estimated by the corresponding LMIs.

New Robust Stability Criteria for Lur’e Systems with Time-varying Delays and Sector-bounded Nonlinearities

This paper deals with a robust stability problem for uncertain Lur’e systems with time-varying delays and sector-bounded nonlinearities. An improved delay-dependent robust stability criterion is proposed via a modified Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) approach. Firstly, a modified LKF consisting of delay-dependent matrices and double-integral items under two delay subintervals is constructed, thereby making full use of the delay and its derivative information. Secondly, the stability criteria can be expressed as convex linear matrix inequality (LMI) via the properties of quadratic function application. Thirdly, to further reduce the conservatism of stability criteria, the quadratic generalized free-weighting matrix inequality (QGFMI) is used. Finally, some numerical examples, including the Lur’e system and the general linear time-delayed system, are presented to show the improvement of the proposed approach.

     

Further Improvement of Free-Weighting Matrices Technique for Systems With Time-Varying Delay

A novel method is proposed in this note for stability analysis of systems with a time-varying delay. Appropriate Lyapunov functional and augmented Lyapunov functional are introduced to establish some improved delay-dependent stability criteria. Less conservative results are obtained by considering the additional useful terms (which are ignored in previous methods) when estimating the upper bound of the derivative of Lyapunov functionals and introducing the new free-weighting matrices. The resulting criteria are extended to the stability analysis for uncertain systems with time-varying structured uncertainties and polytopic-type uncertainties. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness and the benefits of the proposed method     

A less conservative robust stability test for linear uncertain time-delay systems

This note concerns with the robust stability of linear uncertain systems with state-delay. The uncertainty is assumed to be of polytopic type. A less conservative delay-dependent linear matrix inequality (LMI) method is presented based on a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The present method incorporates a relaxed parameter-dependent technique combined with a recently proposed idea of introducing free-weighting matrices. When confined to delay-free case, the present result is also less conservative than existing stability tests using parameter-dependent methods. Numerical examples are given to show the less conservativeness of the results.
