Robust Exponential Stability and Stabilization of a Class of Nonlinear Stochastic Time‐Delay Systems

This paper presents new exponential stability and delayed‐state‐feedback stabilization criteria for a class of nonlinear uncertain stochastic time‐delay systems. By choosing the delay fraction number as two, applying the Jensen inequality to every sub‐interval of the time delay interval and avoiding using any free weighting matrix, the method proposed can reduce the computational complexity and conservativeness of results. Based on Lyapunov stability theory, exponential stability and delayed‐state‐feedback stabilization conditions of nonlinear uncertain stochastic systems with the state delay are obtained. In the sequence, the delayed‐state‐feedback stabilization problem for a nonlinear uncertain stochastic time‐delay system is investigated and some sufficient conditions are given in the form of nonlinear inequalities. In order to solve the nonlinear problem, a cone complementarity linearization algorithm is offered. Mathematical and/or numerical comparisons between the proposed method and existing ones are demonstrated, which show the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the proposed method.     

Robustly Exponential Stability Analysis for Discrete-Time Stochastic Neural Networks with Interval Time-Varying Delays

This paper deals with the problems of the global exponential stability and stabilization for a class of uncertain discrete-time stochastic neural networks with interval time-varying delay. By using the linear matrix inequality method and the free-weighting matrix technique, we construct a new Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional and establish new sufficient conditions to guarantee that the uncertain discrete-time stochastic neural networks with interval time-varying delay are globally exponential stable in the mean square. Furthermore, we extend our consideration to the stabilization problem for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks. Based on the state feedback control law, some novel delay-dependent criteria of the robust exponential stabilization for a class of discrete-time stochastic neural networks with interval time-varying delay are established. The controller gains are designed to ensure the global robust exponential stability of the closed-loop systems. Finally, numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results we have obtained.     

Stabilization of nonlinear networked probabilistic interval delay systems with sensor random packet dropout

In this paper, the problem of stabilization for nonlinear networked systems with probabilistic interval delay and sensor random packet dropout is investigated. By employing the information of probabilistic distribution of time‐varying delay and considering random sensor packet dropout with compensation, the nonlinear stochastic delayed system model is established. Based on the obtained model, by choosing an appropriate Lyapunov function and utilizing a new discrete Jensen‐type inequality, sufficient conditions are derived to obtain the relation of the maximum allowable delay bound, delay interval occurrence rate and packet dropout rate to the stochastic stability of nonlinear networked control systems. Two kinds of design procedures for output feedback controller are also presented in terms of solving corresponding linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of proposed techniques. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

New results on stabilization of Markovian jump systems with time delay

This paper studies the problem of stochastic stabilization for a class of Markovian jump systems with time delay. A new delay-dependent stochastic stability criterion on the stochastic stability of the system is derived based on a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF) approach. The equivalence and superiority to existing results are demonstrated. Then a state feedback controller, which guarantees the stochastic stability of the closed-loop system, is designed. Illustrative examples are provided to show the reduced conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed techniques.     

Static output feedback sliding mode control for time‐varying delay systems with time‐delayed nonlinear disturbances

In this paper, a robust stabilization problem for a class of linear time‐varying delay systems with disturbances is studied using sliding mode techniques. Both matched and mismatched disturbances, involving time‐varying delay, are considered. The disturbances are nonlinear and have nonlinear bounds which are employed for the control design. A sliding surface is designed and the stability of the corresponding sliding motion is analysed based on the Razumikhin Theorem. Then a static output feedback sliding mode control with time delay is synthesized to drive the system to the sliding surface in finite time. Conservatism is reduced by using features of sliding mode control and systems structure. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Global stabilization for a class of stochastic nonlinear systems with SISS‐like conditions and time delay

The global stabilization problem for a class of stochastic time‐delay nonlinear systems with stochastic‐input‐to‐state‐stable–like conditions is investigated. Different from the existing results, the nonlinear growing conditions are more general, and the existences of the state and input time delays make the work more challenging in the control design and stability analysis. By introducing an appropriate gain‐scaling method and using a homogeneous domain control strategy, a delay‐independent controller is constructed to ensure that the equilibrium at the origin of the closed‐loop system is globally asymptotically stable in probability. Examples are given to show the validness of the proposed method.

Decentralised adaptive output feedback stabilisation for stochastic time-delay systems via LaSalle-Yoshizawa-type theorem

This paper deals with the decentralised output feedback stabilisation problem for a class of large-scale stochastic time-delay nonlinear systems. A general theorem is firstly given to guarantee the global existence and uniqueness of the solution for stochastic time-delay systems. In addition, a stochastic version of the well-known LaSalle-Yoshizawa theorem with time-varying delay is initially proposed for the controller design and stability analysis. Then, for a class of large-scale stochastic systems with time-varying delays, totally decentralised adaptive delay-dependent controllers are designed by using K-filter and backstepping approach. Via LaSalle-Yoshizawa-type theorem and constructing a general Lyapunov function, it is shown that all signals in the closed-loop system are bounded almost surely and the solution is almost surely asymptotically stable. Finally, a simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the results of this paper.

Robust delayed-state-feedback stabilization of uncertain stochastic systems

Due to time spent in computation and transfer, control input is usually subject to delays. Problems of deterministic systems with input delay have received considerable attention. However, relatively few works are concerned with problems of stochastic system with input delay. This paper studies delayed-feedback stabilization of uncertain stochastic systems. Based on a new delay-dependent stability criterion established in this paper, a robust delayed-state-feedback controller that exponentially stabilizes the uncertain stochastic systems is proposed. Numerical examples are given to verify the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the proposed method.     

H ∞ filtering for stochastic systems with time-varying delay

This article considers the problem of H _∞ filter design for stochastic systems with time-varying delay. The time delay is assumed to be of interval type. Attention is focused on the design of delay-dependent filters that guarantee the asymptotic stability in mean square and a prescribed noise attenuation level in an H _∞ sense for the filtering error dynamics. The delay-dependent H _∞ filter design scheme is proposed in terms of a linear matrix inequality. A numerical example is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Delay‐range‐dependent control of nonlinear time‐delay systems under input saturation

This paper describes a delay‐range‐dependent local state feedback controller synthesis approach providing estimation of the region of stability for nonlinear time‐delay systems under input saturation. By employing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, properties of nonlinear functions, local sector condition and Jensen's inequality, a sufficient condition is derived for stabilization of nonlinear systems with interval delays varying within a range. Novel solutions to the delay‐range‐dependent and delay‐dependent stabilization problems for linear and nonlinear time‐delay systems, respectively, subject to input saturation are derived as specific scenarios of the proposed control strategy. Also, a delay‐rate‐independent condition for control of nonlinear systems in the presence of input saturation with unknown delay‐derivative bound information is established. And further, a robust state feedback controller synthesis scheme ensuring L₂ gain reduction from disturbance to output is devised to address the problem of the stabilization of input‐constrained nonlinear time‐delay systems with varying interval lags. The proposed design conditions can be solved using linear matrix inequality tools in connection with conventional cone complementary linearization algorithms. Simulation results for an unstable nonlinear time‐delay network and a large‐scale chemical reactor under input saturation and varying interval time‐delays are analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Global synchronization of complex networks with interval time-varying delays and stochastic disturbances

The synchronization problem is considered for a class of stochastic complex networks with interval time-varying delays. Based on the Lyapunov functional method and stochastic analysis theory, delay-dependent sufficient conditions are obtained, which ensure that the identical delayed networks are globally synchronized in the mean square sense. Furthermore, the ‘piecewise delay’ approach is improved to deal with the synchronization problem of systems with stochastic disturbances by introducing two new lemmas. The efficiency and applicability of the proposed methodology are demonstrated by two numerical examples.

On stabilization of bilinear uncertain time-delay stochasticsystems with Markovian jumping parameters

In this paper, we investigate the stochastic stabilization problem for a class of bilinear continuous time-delay uncertain systems with Markovian jumping parameters. Specifically, the stochastic bilinear jump system under study involves unknown state time-delay, parameter uncertainties, and unknown nonlinear deterministic disturbances. The jumping parameters considered here form a continuous-time discrete-state homogeneous Markov process. The whole system may be regarded as a stochastic bilinear hybrid system that includes both time-evolving and event-driven mechanisms. Our attention is focused on the design of a robust state-feedback controller such that, for all admissible uncertainties as well as nonlinear disturbances, the closed-loop system is stochastically exponentially stable in the mean square, independent of the time delay. Sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the existence of desired robust controllers, which are given in terms of the solutions to a set of either linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), or coupled quadratic matrix inequalities. The developed theory is illustrated by numerical simulation     

Optimal controller synthesis for linear stochastic systems with incomplete information regarding the state. Necessary conditions and numerical methods

Necessary optimality conditions for a linear incomplete feedback controller for stochastic systems operating on an unbounded time interval are proved. Numerical methods for optimal controller synthesis that ensure the system’s stability and cost optimality of stabilization with respect to a given criterion are proposed. The stabilization problem for an orbit of an Earth satellite under disturbances and different compositions of measurements is considered.     

A delay-dependent approach to H ∞ filtering for stochastic delayed jumping systems with sensor non-linearities

In this paper, a delay-dependent approach is developed to deal with the stochastic H _∞ filtering problem for a class of Itô type stochastic time-delay jumping systems subject to both the sensor non-linearities and the exogenous non-linear disturbances. The time delays enter into the system states, the sensor non-linearities and the external non-linear disturbances. The purpose of the addressed filtering problem is to seek an H _∞ filter such that, in the simultaneous presence of non-linear disturbances, sensor non-linearity as well as Markovian jumping parameters, the filtering error dynamics for the stochastic time-delay system is stochastically stable with a guaranteed disturbance rejection attenuation level γ. By using Itô's differential formula and the Lyapunov stability theory, we develop a linear matrix inequality approach to derive sufficient conditions under which the desired filters exist. These conditions are dependent on the length of the time delay. We then characterize the expression of the filter parameters, and use a simulation example to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
