Absolute Stability of Nonlinear Systems with Two Additive Time-varying Delay Components

In this paper, we present a new sufficient condition for absolute stability of Lure system with two additive time-varying delay components. This criterion is expressed as a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be readily tested by using standard numerical software. We use this new criterion to stabilize a class of nonlinear time-delay systems. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the applicability of the results using standard numerical software.

Stability analysis of systems via a new double free-matrix-based integral inequality with interval time-varying delay

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates the problem of delay-dependent stability analysis for systems with interval time-varying delay. By means of a new double free-matrix-based integral inequality and augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals containing as much information of time-varying delay as possible, a new stability criterion for systems is established. Firstly, by a double integral term two-step estimation approach and combined with single free-matrix-based integral inequalities, a stability criteria is presented. Then, compared with the double integral term two-step estimation approach, the proposed new double free-matrix-based integral inequality with more related time delays has potential to lead to a criterion with less conservatism. Finally, the validity of the presented method is demonstrated by two numerical examples.

New Augmented Lyapunov‐Krasovskii Functional for Stability Analysis of Systems with Additive Time‐Varying Delays

This paper is concerned with stability analysis for continuous‐time systems with additive time‐varying delays in the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii(L‐K) framework. Firstly, in view of the relationships between the upper bounds of the two time‐varying delays, a new augmented L‐K functional is constructed by using the information of the two upper bounds. Secondly, the free‐matrix‐based integral inequality is used to estimate the derivative of the constructed L‐K functional. Thirdly, a less conservative criterion is derived to assess stability. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the criterion.     

Delay-dependent Non-fragile H∞ Filtering for Uncertain Fuzzy Systems Based on a Switching Fuzzy Model and Piecewise Lyapunov Function

This paper is concerned with the non-fragile H∞ filter design problem for uncertain discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with time delay. To begin with, the T-S fuzzy system is transformed to an equivalent switching fuzzy system. Then, based on the piecewise Lyapunov function and matrix decoupling technique, a new delay-dependent non-fragile H∞ filtering method is proposed for the switching fuzzy system. The proposed condition is less conservative than the previous results. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the filter parameters can be solved directly. Finally, a design example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.     

Delay-dependent Stabilization Conditions of Controlled Positive Continuous-time Systems

The stabilization problem for a class of linear continuous-time systems with time-varying non differentiable delay is solved while imposing positivity in closed-loop. In particular, the synthesis of state-feedback controllers is studied by giving sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). The obtained results are then extended to systems with non positive delay matrix by applying a memory controller. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by using numerical examples.     

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.     

Sliding mode control of uncertain systems with distributed time-delay： parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional approach

The robust stability and robust sliding mode control problems are studied for a class of linear distributed time-delay systems with polytopic-type uncertainties by applying the parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional approach combining with a new method of introducing some relaxation matrices and tuning parameters, which can be chosen properly to lead to a less conservative result. First, a sufficient condition is proposed for robust stability of the autonomic system; next, the sufficient conditions of the robust stabilization controller and the existence condition of sliding mode are developed. The results are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, which can be solved via efficient interior-point algorithms. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the feasibility and advantages of the proposed design scheme.     

Novel delay-dependent stability condition for mixed delayed stochastic neural networks with leakage delay signals

In this paper, the problem of stability condition for mixed delayed stochastic neural networks with neutral delay and leakage delay is investigated. A novel Lyapunov functional is constructed with double and triple integral terms. New sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the global asymptotic stability of the concerned neural network. This paper is more general than the paper by Zhu et al. [Robust stability of Markovian jump stochastic neural networks with time delays in the leakage terms, Neural Process. Lett. 41 (2015), pp. 1–27]. In our paper, we considered both the neutral delay and leakage delay, but the paper by Zhu et al. is not considering the neutral delay. Also we employed triple integrals in the Lyapunov functional which is not used in the paper by Zhu et al. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
