DELAY‐DEPENDENT ROBUST CONTROL FOR UNCERTAIN SINGULAR TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS

The problem of delay‐dependent robust stabilization for uncertain singular time‐delay systems is investigated in this paper. The parameter uncertainty is assumed to be norm‐bounded and possibly time‐varying, while the time delay considered here is assumed to be constant but unknown. A delay‐dependent condition is presented for a singular time‐delay system to be regular, impulse free, and stable, based on which robust stability analysis and the robust stabilization problem are studied. An explicit expression for the desired state‐feedback control law is also given. The obtained results are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which involve no decomposition of the system matrices. Some numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of the theoretical conditions.     

A NEW LMI CONDITION FOR DELAY‐DEPENDENT ROBUST STABILITY OF STOCHASTIC TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS

This paper studies robust stability for a class of uncertain nonlinear stochastic time‐delay systems. In terms of a linear matrix inequality, an improved delay‐dependent condition guaranteeing that a stochastic delay system will be exponentially stable in the mean square is proposed. This condition is less conservative than existing ones in the literature and is demonstrated by means of an example.     

AN LMI APPROACH TO ROBUST STABILITY OF UNCERTAIN DISCRETE SINGULAR TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS

The problem of robust stability analysis for uncertain discrete singular time‐delay systems is investigated in this paper. By decomposing the nominal system into slow and fast subsystems, a linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition is proposed for a discrete singular time‐delay system to be regular, causal and stable. Based on this, an LMI criterion is obtained for robust stability of an uncertain discrete singular time‐delay system. Two numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach.     

DELAY‐DEPENDENT ROBUST CONTROL OF DESCRIPTOR SYSTEMS WITH TIME DELAY

This paper deals with the problem of stability and robust control for both certain and uncertain continuous‐time singular systems with state delay. Systems with norm‐bounded parameter uncertainties are considered. Robust delay‐dependent stability criteria and linear memoryless state feedback controllers based on linear matrix inequality are obtained. By choosing some Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functionals, neither model transformation nor bounding for cross terms is required in the derivation of our delay‐dependent results. Finally, numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

ROBUST STABILITY AND STABILIZATION OF A CLASS OF SINGULAR SYSTEMS WITH MULTIPLE TIME‐VARYING DELAYS

This paper deals with the problem of robust stability and robust stabilization for uncertain continuous singular systems with multiple time‐varying delays. The parametric uncertainty is assumed to be norm bounded. The purpose of the robust stability problem is to give conditions such that the uncertain singular system is regular, impulse free, and stable for all admissible uncertainties. The purpose of the robust stabilization problem is to design a feedback control law such that the resulting closed‐loop system is robustly stable. This problem is solved via generalized quadratic stability approach. A strict linear matrix inequality (LMI) design approach is developed. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method.     

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF UNCERTAIN DISCRETE‐TIME SYSTEMS WITH TIME‐VARYING STATE DELAY: A PARAMETER‐DEPENDENT LYAPUNOV FUNCTION APPROACH

This paper presents several new robust stability conditions for linear discrete‐time systems with polytopic parameter uncertainties and time‐varying delay in the state. These stability criteria, derived by defining parameter‐dependent Lyapunov functions, are not only dependent on the maximum and minimum delay bounds, but also dependent on uncertain parameters in the sense that different Lyapunov functions are used for the entire uncertainty domain. It is established, theoretically, that these robust stability criteria for the nominal and constant‐delay case encompass some existing result as their special case. The delay‐dependent and parameter‐dependent nature of these results guarantees the proposed robust stability criteria to be potentially less conservative.     

A NEW DESIGN APPROACH TO DELAY‐DEPENDENT ROBUST H∞ CONTROL FOR UNCERTAIN TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS

A new design approach to delay‐dependent robust stabilization and robust H∞ control for a class of uncertain time‐delay systems is provided in this paper. The sufficient conditions for delay‐dependent robust stabilization and robust H∞ control are derived based on a new state transformation and given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Numerical examples are presented to show that the proposed results can be less conservative and can be used to deal with not only small but also large delay systems.     

ADAPTIVE ROBUST CONTROL OF UNCERTAIN SYSTEMS WITH TIME‐VARYING STATE DELAY

In this paper, a new adaptive robust control scheme is developed for a class of uncertain dynamical systems with time‐varying state delay, unknown parameters and disturbances. By incorporating adaptive techniques into the robust control method, we propose a continuous adaptive robust controller which guarantees the uniform boundedness of the system and at the same time, the regulating error enters an arbitrarily designated zone in a finite time. The proposed controller is independent of the time‐delay, hence it is applicable to a class of dynamical systems with uncertain time delays. The paper includes simulation studies demonstrating the performance of the proposed control scheme.     

STABILIZATION AND H∞ CONTROL FOR UNCERTAIN STOCHASTIC TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS VIA NON‐FRAGILE CONTROLLERS

This paper considers the problems of robust non‐fragile stochastic stabilization and H_∞ control for uncertain time‐delay stochastic systems with time‐varying norm‐bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and input matrices. Attention is focused on the design of memoryless state feedback controllers which are subject to norm‐bounded uncertainties. For both the cases of additive and multiplicative controller uncertainties, delay‐independent sufficient conditions for the solvability of the above problems are obtained. The desired state feedback controller can be constructed by solving a certain linear matrix inequality.     

GENERALIZED QUADRATIC STABILIZATION FOR DISCRETE‐TIME SINGULAR SYSTEMS WITH TIME‐DELAY AND NONLINEAR PERTURBATION

This paper discusses a generalized quadratic stabilization problem for a class of discrete‐time singular systems with time‐delay and nonlinear perturbation (DSSDP), which the satisfies Lipschitz condition. By means of the S‐procedure approach, necessary and sufficient conditions are presented via a matrix inequality such that the control system is generalized quadratically stabilizable. An explicit expression of the static state feedback controllers is obtained via some free choices of parameters. It is shown in this paper that generalized quadratic stability also implies exponential stability for linear discrete‐time singular systems or more generally, DSSDP. In addition, this new approach for discrete singular systems (DSS) is developed in order to cast the problem as a convex optimization involving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), such that the controller can stabilize the overall system. This approach provides generalized quadratic stabilization for uncertain DSS and also extends the existing robust stabilization results for non‐singular discrete systems with perturbation. The approach is illustrated here by means of numerical examples.     

LMI APPROACH TO ROBUST FILTERING FOR DISCRETE TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS WITH NONLINEAR DISTURBANCES

This paper investigates the problem of robust filtering for a class of uncertain nonlinear discrete‐time systems with multiple state delays. It is assumed that the parameter uncertainties appearing in all the system matrices reside in a polytope, and that the nonlinearities entering into both the state and measurement equations satisfy global Lipschitz conditions. Attention is focused on the design of robust full‐order and reduced‐order filters guaranteeing a prescribed noise attenuation level in an H∞ or l₂‐l∞ sense with respect to all energy‐bounded noise disturbances for all admissible uncertainties and time delays. Both delay‐dependent and independent approaches are developed by using linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques, which are applicable to systems either with or without a priori information on the size of delays.

ROBUST STABILIZATION OF A CLASS OF UNCERTAIN TIME DELAY SYSTEMS IN SLIDING MODE

This paper addresses the problem of robust stabilization of a class of uncertain systems subject to internal (i.e., in the state) point delays, external (i.e., in the input) point delays and nonlinear disturbances by using sliding mode control. Methods for the design of sliding mode controllers based on state feedback, static output feedback and dynamic output feedback, respectively, are proposed. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability and robustnesss of the closed–loop systems are given under a wide class of admissible nonlinear disturbances. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

OPTIMAL TRACKING CONTROL FOR DISCRETE TIME‐DELAY SYSTEMS WITH PERSISTENT DISTURBANCES

Optimal tracking control (OTC) for discrete time‐delay systems affected by persistent disturbances with quadratic performance indexes is considered. Optimal tracking controller is designed based on a sensitivity approximation approach. By introducing a sensitivity parameter, we transform the original OTC problem into a series of difference equations without time‐advance on time‐delay terms. The obtained OTC law consists of analytic feedback and feedforward terms, and a compensation term, which is the sum of the infinite series of adjoint vectors. The compensation term can be obtained with an iterated formula for the adjoint vectors. A simulation example shows that the approximation approach is effective in tracking the reference input and robust with respect to exogenous persistent disturbances.     

DESIGN MODIFICATION OF SLIDING MODE OBSERVERS FOR UNCERTAIN MIMO SYSTEMS WITHOUT AND WITH TIME‐DELAY

In this paper, the sliding mode observers design techniques for MIMO and as a simple example for SISO systems are systematically advanced as a first purpose. Design parameters are selected such that on the defined switching surface always is generated asymptotically stable sliding mode. Moreover, observer state error dynamics is globally robustly asymptotically stable. Then, advanced design techniques are generalized to the design of a new modification of sliding mode observers for uncertain MIMO systems with time‐delay. Robust sliding and global asymptotic stability conditions are derived by using Lyapunov‐Krasovskii V‐functional method. By these conditions observer parameters are designed such that an asymptotically stable sliding mode always is generated in observer and observer state error dynamics is robustly globally asymptotically stable. The main results are formulated in terms of Lyapunov matrix equations and inequalities. Design example for AV‐8A Harrier VTOL aircraft with simulation results using MATLAB‐Simulink show the effectiveness of proposed design approaches.
