Robust static output-feedback stabilization for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time delay via fuzzy control approach

This paper addresses the problem of designing robust static output-feedback controllers for nonlinear discrete-time interval systems with time delays both in states and in control input. In the approach, we do not directly employ the Lyapunov approach, as do in most of traditional fuzzy control design approaches. Instead, sufficient conditions for guaranteeing the robust stability for the considered systems are derived in terms of the matrix spectral norm of the closed-loop fuzzy system. The stability conditions are further formulated into linear matrix inequalities so that the desired controller can be easily obtained by using the Matlab linear matrix inequality (LMI) toolbox. Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Model reference output feedback fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delay

In this study, a model reference fuzzy tracking control design for nonlinear discrete-time systems with time-delay is introduced. First, the Takagi and Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is employed to approximate a nonlinear discrete-time system with time-delay. Next, based on the fuzzy model, a fuzzy observer-based fuzzy controller is developed to reduce the tracking error as small as possible for all bounded reference inputs. The advantage of proposed tracking control design is that only a simple fuzzy observer-based controller is used in our approach without feedback linearization technique and complicated adaptive scheme. By the proposed method, the fuzzy tracking control design problem is parameterized in terms of a linear matrix inequality problem (LMIP). The LMIP can be efficiently solved using the convex optimization techniques. Simulation example is given to illustrate the design procedures and tracking performance of the proposed method.

Robust adaptive control of a class of nonlinear strict-feedback discrete-time systems with exact output tracking

In this paper, adaptive control is studied for a class of single-input–single-output (SISO) nonlinear discrete-time systems in strict-feedback form with nonparametric nonlinear uncertainties of the Lipschitz type. To eliminate the effect of the nonparametric uncertainties in an unmatched manner, a novel future states prediction is designed using states information at previous steps to compensate for the effect of uncertainties at the current step. Utilizing the predicted future states, constructive adaptive control is developed to compensate for the effects of both parametric and nonparametric uncertainties such that global stability and asymptotical output tracking is achieved. The effectiveness of the proposed control law is demonstrated in the simulation.     

PI tracking control for nonlinear time-varying delay Markov jump systems

This paper considers robust stochastic stability and PI tracking control problem for Markov jump systems with both input delay and an unknown nonlinear function. Based on the traditional PI control strategy, a new controller design scheme is proposed for nonlinear time-delay Markov jump systems which can realize multiple control objectives including robust stochastic stability and tracking performance. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and LMI algorithms, a sufficient condition for the solution to robust stochastic stability and tracking control problem is obtained. Then, the desired controller with PI structure is designed, which ensures the resulting closed-loop system is robust stochastically stable and the system state has favorable tracking performance. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Robust adaptive tracking for time-varying uncertain nonlinear systems with unknown control coefficients

Presents a robust adaptive control approach for a class of time-varying uncertain nonlinear systems in the strict feedback form with completely unknown time-varying virtual control coefficients, uncertain time-varying parameters and unknown time-varying bounded disturbances. The proposed design method does not require any a priori knowledge of the unknown coefficients except for their bounds. It is proved that the proposed robust adaptive scheme can guarantee the global uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system signals and disturbance attenuation.     

Robust discrete-time sliding mode control for tracking and model following of uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper proposes a discrete-time controller for robust tracking and model following of a class of nonlinear, multi-input multi-output, systems. For this purpose, a discrete-time sliding mode controller (DTSMC) is used to ensure the stability, robustness and an output tracking against the modelling uncertainties, even at relatively large sampling periods. In this way, Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy modelling is used to decompose the nonlinear system to a set fuzzy-blended locally linearised subsystems. Implementation of the second Lyapunov theory for mismatched uncertain nonlinear T–S fuzzy models results in a set of linear matrix inequalities, which is used to design the sliding surface. A new method is then proposed to reach the quasi-sliding mode and stay thereafter. Simulation studies show that the proposed method guarantees the stability of closed-loop system and achieves small tracking error in the presence of parametric uncertainties at large sampling periods.     

Robust control for a class of T-S fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delay

The problem of delay-dependent stability analysis and controller design for a class of T-S fuzzy systems with interval state time-varying delay is considered. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, defining a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and introducing some free-weighting matrices, a new delay-dependent criterion is given to ensure the systems asymptotically stable. The merit of the proposed conditions lies in the less conservativeness than the existing ones, which is achieved by considering the mean of time-delay interval and the introduction of the free variables. By the concept of parallel distributed compensation (PDC), a delay-dependent condition for the existence of a fuzzy state feedback control law with memory is proposed. Another merit is the consideration of the memory of the controller. All conditions are shown in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved efficiently by using the LMI optimization techniques. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed approach.     

Robust stabilization of linear discrete-time systems with time-varying input delay

This paper presents a sufficient condition to stabilize linear discrete-time systems with time-varying input delay and model uncertainties. The key idea consists of applying Artstein’s reduction method and the scaled bounded real lemma; the robust stabilization problem is cast as a set of linear matrix inequalities on a transformed delay-free system. Hence, a novel convex characterization of the problem, an alternative to bilinear matrix inequalities in prior literature, is provided. Predictor-based controllers and robust state-feedback stabilization are particular cases of the proposal. Furthermore, numerical examples show that this proposal may improve tolerance against delay variations when compared to other methods available in literature.

Robust fuzzy tracking control for nonlinear networked control systems with integral quadratic constraints

This paper investigates the robust tracking control problem for a class of nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) using the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model approach. Based on a time-varying delay system transformed from the NCSs, an augmented Lyapunov function containing more useful information is constructed. A less conservative sufficient condition is established such that the closed-loop systems stability and time-domain integral quadratic constraints (IQCs) are satisfied while both time-varying network-induced delays and packet losses are taken into account. The fuzzy tracking controllers design scheme is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and parallel distributed compensation (PDC). Furthermore, robust stabilization criterion for nonlinear NCSs is given as an extension of the tracking control result. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed method.     

Robust output regulation for containment control of heterogeneous discrete-time nonlinear multi-agent systems

ABSTRACT

In existing researches on containment control of heterogeneous multi-agent systems (MASs), the solution is usually dependent on the solvability of regulator equations. However, the closed-form solution of many nonlinear regulator equations of systems is rarely obtained. Towards this end, in this paper the containment control problem of heterogeneous discrete-time nonlinear MASs subject to parameter uncertainties is considered, and the power series approach is adopted to solve complex regulator equations by decomposing them into a series of solvable linear equations. Then, a distributed robust control law based on internal model principle is presented by utilising the solution of the linear equations. Theoretical analysis shows that under certain assumptions asymptotic containment control is achieved for the heterogeneous discrete-time nonlinear MASs with sufficiently small parameter perturbations. Finally, a numerical simulation is implemented to verify the proposed control law.     

Approximation-based adaptive tracking control of nonlinear pure-feedback systems with time-varying output constraints

An adaptive neural network control problem of completely non-affine pure-feedback systems with a time-varying output constraint and external disturbances is investigated. For the controller design, we presents an appropriate Barrier Lyapunov Function (BLF) considering both the time-varying output constraint and the control direction nonlinearities induced from the implicit function theorem and mean value theorem. From an error transformation, the BLF dependent on the time-varying constraint is transformed into the explicitly time-independent BLF. Based on the explicitly time-independent BLF, an adaptive dynamic surface control scheme using the function approximation technique is designed to ensure both the constraint satisfaction and the desired tracking ability. It is shown that all signals in the closed-loop system are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded and the tracking error converges to an adjustable neighborhood of the origin while the time-varying output constraint is never violated.     

Robust tracking control for uncertain fuzzy systems with time delay and external disturbances

In this article, robust tracking and disturbance rejection problem for Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems with time delay and external disturbances are discussed. Specifically, proportional-integral controller with an enhanced equivalent-input-disturbance technique is constructed to force the output trajectories to track the bounded reference input signal even in the presence of external disturbances. Further, the resulting fuzzy control system can be represented as an augmented system with state delay and uncertainties and the output tracking problem is transformed into stabilization problem of the augmented system. In the stabilization analysis, the considered fuzzy system does not share the same membership functions with the proposed control. Moreover, the delay-dependent stabilization criteria for the addressed fuzzy system are presented in the form of linear matrix inequalities by the virtue of augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional. To be specific, the symmetric matrices involved in the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional need not be positive definite. Ultimately, three numerical examples are offered to support the validity of the established theoretical results.
