Stability of perturbed systems with time-varying delays

This paper gives easily verifiable sufficient conditions of robust asymptotic stability of linear time-delay systems subject to parametric unstructured or highly-structured perturbations. The criteria given in this paper are delay-independent or delay-dependent. The considered delay may be time-varying. An estimation of the transient behaviour of the studied systems is also provided (exponential rate of convergence).Scalar or vectorial inequalities involving Hurwitz matrices, matrix measures and norms constitute the mathematical foundations of the exposed results.     

Stability analysis for uncertain switched neutral systems with discrete time-varying delay: A delay-dependent method

This paper considers the robust stability of a class of switched neutral systems with discrete time-varying delay and time-varying structure. Sufficient conditions for exponential stability criteria are developed for arbitrary switching signal with average dwell time. The results are obtained based on Lyapunov’s stability analysis via Krasovsky–Lyapunov’s functionals and the related stability study is performed to obtain delay-dependent results. It is proved that the stabilizing switching rule is arbitrary if all the switched subsystems are exponentially stabile. These conditions are delay-dependent and are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Some examples are worked out to illustrate the effectiveness of the result.

Pseudo-predictor feedback stabilization of linear systems with time-varying input delays

This paper is concerned with stabilization of (time-varying) linear systems with a single time-varying input delay by using the predictor based delay compensation approach. Differently from the traditional predictor feedback which uses the open-loop system dynamics to predict the future state and will result in an infinite dimensional controller, we propose in this paper a pseudo-predictor feedback (PPF) approach which uses the (artificial) closed-loop system dynamics to predict the future state and the resulting controller is finite dimensional and is thus easy to implement. Necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing the stability of the closed-loop system under the PPF are obtained in terms of the stability of a class of integral delay operators (systems). Moreover, it is shown that the PPF can compensate arbitrarily large yet bounded input delays provided the open-loop (time-varying linear) system is only polynomially unstable and the feedback gain is well designed. Comparison of the proposed PPF approach with the existing results is well explored. Numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Simple stability criteria for systems with time-varying delays

This paper considers the problem of checking stability of linear feedback systems with time-varying but bounded delays. Simple but powerful criteria of stability are presented for both continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Using these criteria, stability can be checked in a closed loop Bode plot. This makes it easy to design the system for robustness.     

Delay-dependent robust stability of uncertain fuzzy large-scale systems with time-varying delays

This paper addresses the stability problem of fuzzy large-scale systems (FLSSs) with uncertainties and arbitrary time-varying delays. The stability conditions, which are less conservative and more applicable than the existing results, are derived by a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method and expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Two examples are given to demonstrate the correctness and advantage of our theoretical results.

Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a delay-dependent stability criterion is derived and given in the form of a linear matrix inequality （LMI）. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate significant improvement over some existing results.

Stability of stochastic systems with uncertain time delays

For linear delay systems with bilinear noise sufficient conditions are given for the global asymptotic stochastic stability independent of the length of the delay(s). For linear stochastic noise terms, sufficient conditions for the existence of an invariant distribution, for all values of the delay are given. It is shown that the gaussian distribution is the unique invariant distribution. The covariance and correlation matrix function of the resulting stationary process are completely characterized by a Lyapunov-type equation. All these sufficient conditions are obtained in the form of the existence of some positive definite matrices satisfying certain Riccati-type equations.     

Stability analysis of systems with stochastically varying delays

A stability analysis of linear systems with stochastically varying delay is performed. It is assumed that the delay function has the form of a sawtooth with switches occurring at the arrival times of a homogeneous Poisson process. Several notions of stochastic stability are considered and corresponding stability criteria are derived. For two examples the different criteria are compared and the effect on stability of various deterministic approximations is examined.     

Robust stability analysis of time-varying systems using time-varying quadratic forms

We consider the robust stability of time-varying linear systems subject to structured time-varying uncertainty. We provide an alternate proof of the result that robust stability holds if and only if a scaled small-gain condition holds asymptotically. The new proof employs an extension of the so-called S-procedure losslessness theorem to time-varying quadratic forms which is of independent interest.     

Delay-dependent robust H-infinity control for discrete-time uncertain systems with time-varying state delays

1 Introduction The analysis and synthesis of dynamic control systems with time delays is a subject of great practical and theo- retical importance, and has received considerable attention for decades (see [1,2] and references therein). Stability cri- teria can be classified roughly into two categories: delay- independent and delay-dependent [3]. Delay-independent criteria contains no information on the delay size, which, as might be expected, is generally conservative, especially when the dela…     

Improved stability conditions for uncertain neutral-type systems with time-varying delays

This paper investigates the robust stability problem for a class of uncertain neutral-type delayed systems. The systems under consideration contain parameter uncertainties and time-varying delays. We aim at designing less conservative robust stability criteria for such systems. A new second-order reciprocally convex inequality is first proposed in order to deal with double integral terms. Then, by constructing a new Lyapunov– Krasovskii functional and employing the improved Wirtinger-based integral inequality and the reciprocally convex combination approaches, novel stability criteria are obtained. Moreover, the stability conditions for standard time-delay system are obtained as by-product results. Comparisons in three numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of our results.     

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.     

Delay-dependent criteria for robust stability of time-varying delay systems

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust stability for systems with time-varying structured uncertainties and time-varying delays. Some new delay-dependent stability criteria are devised by taking the relationship between the terms in the Leibniz-Newton formula into account. Since free weighting matrices are used to express this relationship and since appropriate ones are selected by means of linear matrix inequalities, the new criteria are less conservative than existing ones. Numerical examples suggest that the proposed criteria are effective and are an improvement over previous ones.     

Improved delay-range-dependent stability criteria for linear systems with time-varying delays

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of linear systems with time-varying delays in a given range. A new type of augmented Lyapunov functional is proposed which contains some triple-integral terms. In the proposed Lyapunov functional, the information on the lower bound of the delay is fully exploited. Some new stability criteria are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities without introducing any free-weighting matrices. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Delay-dependent robust stability criteria for uncertain neutral systems with mixed delays

This paper concerns the problem of the delay-dependent robust stability of neutral systems with mixed delays and time-varying structured uncertainties. A new method based on linear matrix inequalities is presented that makes it easy to calculate both the upper stability bounds on the delays and the free weighting matrices. Since the criteria take the sizes of the neutral- and discrete-delays into account, it is less conservative than previous methods. Numerical examples illustrate both the improvement this approach provides over previous methods and the reciprocal influences between the neutral- and discrete-delays.     

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.     

Stability analysis of linear time-varying systems: Improving conditions by adding more information about parameter variation

In this paper a new Lyapunov function is proposed for stability analysis of linear time-varying systems. This new function carries more information regarding parameter variation leading to less conservative conditions. Using Finsler’s lemma and a suitable form to describe the high-order time-derivatives of the parameters, finite sets of LMIs are obtained which are progressively less conservative as a pair of parameters grow. Previous results can be seen as a special case and numerical examples are carried out for the sake of illustration.
