Reliable H∞ control for nonlinear discrete-time systems with multiple intermittent faults in sensors or actuators

This study proposes a fault-tolerant control method for stochastic systems with multiple intermittent faults (IFs) and nonlinear disturbances, and both sensor and actuator faults are considered. The occurrence and disappearance of IFs are governed by Markov chain, and its transition probabilities are partly known. Hence, the faulty system can be described by a Markovian jump system (MJS). In order to ensure that the MJS is stochastically stable and satisfies H_∞ performance index, mode-dependent output feedback controllers are modelled using linear matrix inequalities. Numerous sufficient conditions for stochastic stability are obtained on the basis of Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed method is evaluated on the three-tank system.

Robust H-infinity fuzzy control for uncertainMarkovian jump nonlinear singular systems withwiener process

This paper deals with the problems of robust stochastic stabilization and H-infinity control for Markovian jump nonlinear singular systems with Wiener process via a fuzzy-control approach. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear singular system. The purpose of the robust stochastic stabilization problem is to design a state feedback fuzzy controller such that the closed-loop fuzzy system is robustly stochastically stable for all admissible uncertainties. In the robust H-infinity control problem, in addition to the stochastic stability requirement, a prescribed performance is required to be achieved. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) sufficient conditions are developed to solve these problems, respectively. The expressions of desired state feedback fuzzy controllers are given. Finally, a numerical simulation is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Adaptive fault-tolerant control of linear systems with actuator saturation and L2-disturbances

This paper studies the problem of designing adaptive fault-tolerant H-infinity controllers for linear timeinvariant systems with actuator saturation. The disturbance tolerance ability of the closed-loop system is measured by an optimal index. The notion of an adaptive H-infinity performance index is proposed to describe the disturbance attenuation performances of closed-loop systems. New methods for designing indirect adaptive fault-tolerant controllers via state feedback are presented for actuator fault compensations. Based on the on-line estimation of eventual faults, the adaptive fault-tolerant controller parameters are updated automatically to compensate for the fault effects on systems. The designs are developed in the framework of the linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach, which can guarantee the disturbance tolerance ability and adaptive H-infinity performances of closed-loop systems in the cases of actuator saturation and actuator failures. An example is given to illustrate the efficiency of the design method.

Stability analysis and saturation control for nonlinear positive Markovian jump systems with randomly occurring actuator faults

This article investigates the stability analysis and control design of a class of nonlinear positive Markovian jump systems with randomly occurring actuator faults and saturation. It is assumed that the actuator faults of each subsystem are varying and governed by a Markovian process. The nonlinear term is located in a sector. First, sufficient conditions for stochastic stability of the underlying systems are established using a stochastic copositive Lyapunov function. Then, a family of reliable L₁‐gain controller is proposed for nonlinear positive Markovian jump systems with actuator faults and saturation in terms of a matrix decomposition technique. Under the designed controllers, the closed‐loop systems are positive and stochastically stable with an L₁‐gain performance. An optimization method is presented to estimate the maximum domain of attraction. Furthermore, the obtained results are developed for general Markovian jump systems. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

Robust fuzzy control for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear Markovian jump systems without mode observations

This paper studies the robust fuzzy control problem of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear Markovian jump systems without mode observations. The Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a discrete-time nonlinear system with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and Markovian jump parameters. As a result, an uncertain Markovian jump fuzzy system (MJFS) is obtained. A stochastic fuzzy Lyapunov function (FLF) is employed to analyze the robust stability of the uncertain MJFS, which not only is dependent on the operation modes of the system, but also directly includes the membership functions. Then, based on this stochastic FLF and a non-parallel distributed compensation (non-PDC) scheme, a mode-independent state-feedback control design is developed to guarantee that the closed-loop MJFS is stochastically stable for all admissible parameter uncertainties. The proposed sufficient conditions for the robust stability and mode-independent robust stabilization are formulated as a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved efficiently by using existing LMI optimization techniques. Finally, it is also demonstrated, via a simulation example, that the proposed design method is effective.

Neural network-based adaptive consensus tracking control for multi-agent systems under actuator faults

In this paper, a distributed output feedback consensus tracking control scheme is proposed for second-order multi-agent systems in the presence of uncertain nonlinear dynamics, external disturbances, input constraints, and partial loss of control effectiveness. The proposed controllers incorporate reduced-order filters to account for the unmeasured states, and the neural networks technique is implemented to approximate the uncertain nonlinear dynamics in the synthesis of control algorithms. In order to compensate the partial loss of actuator effectiveness faults, fault-tolerant parts are included in controllers. Using the Lyapunov approach and graph theory, it is proved that the controllers guarantee a group of agents that simultaneously track a common time-varying state of leader, even when the state of leader is available only to a subset of the members of a group. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed consensus tracking method.

Mode-independent robust stabilization for uncertain Markovian jump nonlinear systems via fuzzy control.

This paper is concerned with the robust-stabilization problem of uncertain Markovian jump nonlinear systems (MJNSs) without mode observations via a fuzzy-control approach. The Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear system with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and Markovian jump parameters. The aim is to design a mode-independent fuzzy controller such that the closed-loop Markovian jump fuzzy system (MJFS) is robustly stochastically stable. Based on a stochastic Lyapunov function, a robust-stabilization condition using a mode-independent fuzzy controller is derived for the uncertain MJFS in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A new improved LMI formulation is used to alleviate the interrelation between the stochastic Lyapunov matrix and the system matrices containing controller variables in the derivation process. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Robust fault detection for discrete-time Markovian jump systems with mode-dependent time-delays

This paper investigates a fault detection problem for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump systems with norm-bounded uncertainties and mode-dependent time-delays. Attention is focused on constructing the residual generator based on the filter of which its parameters matrices are dependent on the system mode, that is, the fault detection filter is a Markovian jump system as well. The design of fault detection filter is reduced to H-infinity filtering problem by using H-infinity control theory, which can guarantee the difference between the residual and the fault (or, more generally weighted fault) as small as possible in the context of enhancing the robustness of residual to modeling errors, control inputs and unknown inputs. Sufficient condition for the existence of the above filters is established by means of linear matrix inequalities, which can be readily solved by using standard numerical software. A numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed method.
