Robust admissibility of time-varying singular systems with commensurate time delays

This paper addresses the problem of admissibility of time-varying singular systems with commensurate time delays. By introducing a new method to study the convergence of the fast sub-system, an admissibility condition is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which guarantees the considered time-varying singular delay system to be regular, impulse free and stable. Furthermore, a robust admissibility condition is proposed for the case when the time-varying system matrices admit the usual constant-plus-norm-bounded structure. It is theoretically established that the proposed robust admissibility condition is less conservative than the existing one in the literature. One of the important features of the results is that the inferred admissibility condition coincides with the usual stability condition for state-space delay systems. Moreover, the results are also applicable to the multiple rational delay case.     

Robust admissibility and admissibilisation of uncertain discrete singular time-delay systems

This paper is concerned with the characterisation of robust admissibility and admissibilisation for uncertain discrete-time singular system with interval time-varying delay. Considering the norm-bounded uncertainty and the interval time-varying delay, a new comparison model is introduced to transform the original singular system into two connected subsystems. After this transformation, a singular system without uncertainty and delay can be handled by the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method. By virtue of the scaled small gain theorem, an admissibility condition of the original singular system is proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, the problem of robust admissibilisation of uncertain discrete singular time-varying system is also studied by iterative linear matrix inequality algorithm with initial condition optimisation. Several numerical examples are used to illustrate that the results are less conservative than existing ones.     

Exponential <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Subscript>∞</Subscript> control for singular systems with time-varying delay

This paper studies the exponential admissibility and H _∞ control problems for a class of singular systems with time-varying delay in state. Firstly, an exponential admissibility criterion is obtained based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). It is worth mentioning that the derivative of the time-varying delay does not need to be smaller than one. Based on the proposed condition, a new delay-dependent H _∞ controller is also given, which guarantees the admissibility and the H _∞ performance γ. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

New stability criteria for BAM neural networks with time-varying delays

In this paper, the exponential stability is investigated for a class of time-delay BAM neural networks (NNs). Time delays of two layers are taken into account separately rather than as a whole with the idea of delay fractioning. Then we generalize the result to time-varying interval delay condition. Exploiting the known constant part of delay sufficiently to estimate the upper bounds, we can derive an improved stability for BAM NNs with time-varying interval delay. Two examples are provided to demonstrate the less conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions.

Order-dependent and delay-dependent conditions for stability and stabilization of fractional-order time-varying delay systems using small gain theorem

In this paper, the stability and stabilization problems for fractional-order time-varying delay systems are investigated. Firstly, by casting the stability problem as one of robust stability analysis problems and utilizing the small gain theorem, an order-dependent and delay-dependent stability condition for fractional-order time-varying delay systems is developed. Taking advantage of the information of order and delay, the stability condition is less conservative than the existing results. Then, state feedback controllers that stabilize fractional-order time-varying delay systems are developed. To tackle the computational difficulty of the controller design method, a local optimization algorithm is proposed. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate that the proposed criteria are valid and less conservative than the existing ones.     

Observer design for discrete-time systems subject to time-delay nonlinearities

In this paper, we address the problem of designing nonlinear observers for dynamical discrete-time systems with both constant and time-varying delay nonlinearities. The nonlinear system is assumed to verify the usual Lipschitz condition that permits us to transform the nonlinear system into a linear time-delay system with structured uncertainties. The existence of the observer-gain is ensured by the solution of a one linear matrix inequality. An illustrative example is included to demonstrate the advantage of the proposed observation technique.

Stabilization of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems via time-delayed controllers

This paper is concerned with the stabilization problem for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems with time-delays both in the system state and in the mode signal. The delay in the system state may be time-varying. The delay in the mode signal is manifested as a constant mismatch of the modes between the controller and the system. We first show that the resulting closed-loop system is a time-varying delayed Markovian jump linear system with extended state space. Then a sufficient condition is proposed for the design of a controller such that the closed-loop system is stochastically stable. Finally, numerical simulation is used to illustrate the developed theory.     

Switching strategy in tracking constant references for linear time-varying delay systems with actuator failures

Tracking of command constant references is a tracking control problem of fundamental importance. This problem for linear time-varying delay systems in the presence of actuator failures is solved in this article. The linear time-varying delay system with actuator failures is modelled as a switched linear time-varying delay system by utilising switching systems theory and a suitable control scheme. The polytopic technique is employed in order to cope with the time-varying, delay-derivative term in case its absolute value might exceed one. On the grounds of the average dwell-time approach, a switching tracking control law that is immune to actuator failures is designed and the conditions are derived such that the output of the linear time-varying delay system tracks given constant command references. Two illustrative examples along with the respective numerical and simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Novel Stability Criteria for Linear Time-Delay Systems Using Lyapunov-Krasovskii Functionals With A Cubic Polynomial on Time-Varying Delay

One of challenging issues on stability analysis of time-delay systems is how to obtain a stability criterion from a matrix-valued polynomial on a time-varying delay.The first contribution of this paper is to establish a necessary and sufficient condition on a matrix-valued polynomial inequality over a certain closed interval.The degree of such a matrix-valued polynomial can be an arbitrary finite positive integer.The second contribution of this paper is to introduce a novel LyapunovKrasovskii functional,which includes a cubic polynomial on a time-varying delay,in stability analysis of time-delay systems.Based on the novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the necessary and sufficient condition on matrix-valued polynomial inequalities,two stability criteria are derived for two cases of the time-varying delay.A well-studied numerical example is given to show that the proposed stability criteria are of less conservativeness than some existing ones.     

Stability analysis for linear switched systems with time-varying delay.

This correspondence considers the stability problem for a class of linear switched systems with time-varying delay in the sense of Hurwitz convex combination. The bound of derivative of the time-varying delay can be an unknown constant. It is concluded that the stability result for linear switched systems still holds for such systems with time-varying delay under a certain delay bound. Moreover, the delay bound of guaranteeing system stability can be easily obtained based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). As a special case, when the time-varying delay becomes constant, the criterion obtained in this correspondence is less conservative than existing ones. The reason for less conservativeness is also explicitly explained in this correspondence. Simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Truncated predictor feedback for linear systems with long time-varying input delays

In this paper we study the problem of stabilizing a linear system with a single long time-varying delay in the input. Under the assumption that the open-loop system is stabilizable and not exponentially unstable, a finite dimensional static time-varying linear state feedback controller is obtained by truncating the predictor based controller and by adopting the parametric Lyapunov equation based controller design approach. As long as the time-varying delay is exactly known and bounded, an explicit condition is provided to guarantee the stability of the closed-loop system. It is also shown that the proposed controller achieves semi-global stabilization of the system if its actuator is subject to either magnitude saturation or energy constraints. Numerical examples show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Exponential stabilization of linear systems with time-varying delayed state feedback via partial spectrum assignment

We consider the problem of controlling a linear system when the state is available with a known time-varying delay (delayed-state feedback control) or the actuator is affected by a delay. The solution proposed in this paper consists in partially assigning the spectrum of the closed-loop system to guarantee the exponential zero-state stability with a prescribed decay rate by means of a finite-dimensional control law. A non conservative bound on the maximum allowed delay for the prescribed decay rate is presented, which holds for both cases of constant and time-varying delays. An advantage over recent and similar approaches is that differentiability or continuity of the delay function is not required. We compare the performance of our approach, in terms of delay bound and input signal, with another recent approach.
