A new design of robust filters for uncertain systems

In this paper, a structured polynomial parameter-dependent approach is proposed for robust H₂ filtering of linear uncertain systems. Given a stable system with parameter uncertainties residing in a polytope with s vertices, the focus is on designing a robust filter such that the filtering error system is robustly asymptotically stable and has a guaranteed estimation error variance for the entire uncertainty domain. A new polynomial parameter-dependent idea is introduced to solve the robust H₂ filtering problem, which is different from the quadratic framework that entails fixed matrices for the entire uncertainty domain, or the linearly parameter-dependent framework that uses linear convex combinations of s matrices. This idea is realized by carefully selecting the structure of the matrices involved in the products with system matrices. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are obtained for the existence of admissible filters and based on these, the filter design is cast into a convex optimization problem, which can be readily solved via standard numerical software. Both continuous and discrete-time cases are considered. The merit of the methods presented in this paper lies in their less conservatism than the existing robust filter design methods, as shown both theoretically and through extensive numerical examples.     

H ∞ filter design for discrete delay systems: a new parameter-dependent approach

This article revisits the problem of H _∞ filtering for discrete-time systems with a time-varying delay in the state and parameter uncertainties residing in a polytope. By utilising the polynomially parameter-dependent idea, a new filter design procedure is proposed, which formulates the existence of admissible robust H _∞ filters into a set of linear matrix inequalities. These conditions are developed based on homogeneous polynomially parameter-dependent matrices of an arbitrary degree. As the degree grows, test of increasing precision is obtained providing less conservative filter designs. It is established that the results in the quadratic framework (that entail fixed matrices for the entire uncertainty domain), and the linearly parameter-dependent framework (that use linear convex combinations of matrices) are special cases of the proposed conditions for the zeroth degree and the first degree, respectively. Moreover, in addition to parameter dependence, the obtained conditions are also dependent on both the upper and lower bounds of the delay, which is obtained by using advanced techniques for achieving delay dependence. Several numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed filter design methods.     

Robust output-feedback control of linear discrete-time systems

The problem of designing H_∞ dynamic output-feedback controllers for linear discrete-time systems with polytopic type parameter uncertainties is considered. Given a transfer function matrix of a system with uncertain real parameters that reside in some known ranges, an appropriate, not necessarily minimal, state-space model of the system is described which permits reconstruction of all its states via the delayed inputs and outputs of the plant. The resulting model incorporates the uncertain parameters of the transfer function matrix in the state-space matrices. A recently developed linear parameter-dependent LMI approach to state-feedback H_∞ control of uncertain polytopic systems is then used to design a robust output-feedback controllers that are of order comparable to the one of the plant. These controllers ensure the stability and guarantee a prescribed performance level within the uncertainty polytope.     

A new approach to robust reliable H∞ control for uncertain nonlinear systems

This paper focuses on the optimal robust reliable H_∞ control for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems with actuator faults. A new method of annihilating uncertain matrix is proposed. Based on this approach, a new method of disposing of the phenomenon of uncertain matrices multiplication is provided. In accordance with the method, the optimal robust reliable H_∞ control problem for uncertain nonlinear systems is settled by employing state feedback, in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI). Finally, two illustrative examples are given to show the feasibility and validity of the proposed method.     

A less conservative robust stability test for linear uncertain time-delay systems

This note concerns with the robust stability of linear uncertain systems with state-delay. The uncertainty is assumed to be of polytopic type. A less conservative delay-dependent linear matrix inequality (LMI) method is presented based on a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The present method incorporates a relaxed parameter-dependent technique combined with a recently proposed idea of introducing free-weighting matrices. When confined to delay-free case, the present result is also less conservative than existing stability tests using parameter-dependent methods. Numerical examples are given to show the less conservativeness of the results.

H∞ Model Reduction for Positive Fractional Order Systems

This paper focuses on the H_∞ model reduction problem of positive fractional order systems. For a stable positive fractional order system, we aim to construct a positive reduced‐order fractional system such that the associated error system is stable with a prescribed H_∞ performance. Then, based on the bounded real lemma for fractional order systems, a sufficient condition is given to characterize the model reduction problem with a prescribed H_∞‐norm error bound in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Furthermore, by introducing a new flexible real matrix variable, the desired reduced‐order system matrices are decoupled with the complex matrix variable and further parameterized by the new matrix variable. A corresponding iterative LMI algorithm is also proposed. Finally, several illustrative examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.     

Robust H ∞ reliable control of time delay nonlinear systems via Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy models

This article is focused on reliable fuzzy H _∞ controller design for a class of Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems with state delay, actuator failures, disturbance input and norm bounded uncertainties. In the design, the H _∞ performance of the closed-loop system is optimised during normal operation (without failures) while the system satisfies a prescribed H _∞ performance level in the case of actuator failures. Two methods are presented in this study. In the first method, delay-dependent conditions are derived based on a single Lyapunov–Krasovskii function. This method improves delay-independent results existing in the literature. Next, to further reduce the conservatism, we use a parameter-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii function. The new sufficient conditions for the existence of the suboptimal robust reliable controller are shown in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved by using LMI optimisation techniques. A simulation example shows the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Fault detection for discrete-time LPV systems using interval observers

This paper is concerned with the fault detection (FD) problem for discrete-time linear parameter-varying systems subject to bounded disturbances. A parameter-dependent FD interval observer is designed based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov and slack matrices. The design method is presented by translating the parameter-dependent linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) into finite ones. In contrast to the existing results based on parameter-independent and diagonal Lyapunov matrices, the derived disturbance attenuation, fault sensitivity and nonnegative conditions lead to less conservative LMI characterisations. Furthermore, without the need to design the residual evaluation functions and thresholds, the residual intervals generated by the interval observers are used directly for FD decision. Finally, simulation results are presented for showing the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.     

Extended dissipative filtering of fuzzy systems with time-varying delay under imperfect premise matching

This paper investigates the extended dissipative filter design problems for continuous-time fuzzy systems with time-varying delays under imperfect premise variables based on a unified performance index?extended dissipative. Attention is focused on solving the H_∞, L₂ ? L_∞, passive and dissipative filtering problems for fuzzy systems with time-varying delays under this unified framework. Based on the unified performance index, a new delay-dependent filter design approach in terms of linear matrix inequalities is obtained by employing Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method together with a novel efficient integral inequality. The designed filter can guarantee the filtering error system satisfy the prescribed H_∞, L₂ ? L_∞, passive and dissipative performance by tuning the weighting matrices in the conditions. Moreover, in this paper, the fuzzy filter does not need to share the same membership function with fuzzy model, which can enhance design flexibility and robust property of the fuzzy filter system. Finally, two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness and significant improvement of the method proposed in this paper.     

ℋ ∞ model reduction for linear parameter-varying systems with distributed delay

This paper is concerned with the ?_∞ model reduction for linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with both discrete and distributed delays. For a given stable system, our attention is focused on the construction of reduced-order models, which approximate the original system well in an ?_∞ norm sense. First, a sufficient condition is proposed for the asymptotic stability with an ?_∞ performance of the error system by using the parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional method. Then, the decoupling technique is applied, such that there does not exist any product term between the Lyapunov matrices and the system matrices in the parametrised linear matrix inequality (PLMI) constraints; thus a new sufficient condition is obtained. Based on the new condition, two different approaches are developed to solve the model reduction problem. One is the convex linearisation approach and the other is the projection approach. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Robust H∞ filtering for 2D continuous systems with finite frequency specifications

This paper investigates the design problem of robust H_∞ filtering for uncertain two-dimensional (2D) continuous systems described by Roesser model with polytopic uncertainties and frequency domain specifications. Our aim is to design a new filter guaranteeing an H_∞ performance level in specific finite frequency (FF) domains. Using the well-known generalised Kalman Yakubovich Popov lemma and homogeneous polynomially parameter-dependent matrices of arbitrary degrees, sufficient conditions for the existence of H_∞ filters for different FF ranges are proposed and then unified in terms of solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. Illustrative examples are provided to show the usefulness and potential of the proposed results.     

Observer-based H∞ controller for 2-D T–S fuzzy model

This paper develops a method of fuzzy observer-based H_∞ controller design for two-dimensional (2-D) discrete Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy systems. By reformulating the system, a linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based sufficient condition is derived. Then the fuzzy controller and the fuzzy observer can be independently designed, which guarantee an H_∞ noise attenuation γ of the whole system. Owing to the introduction of free matrices, the presented design method has a wider range of application and can guarantee a better H_∞ performance of the closed-loop fuzzy control system. Simulation results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Robust <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis><Subscript>∞</Subscript> static output feedback control of discrete-time switched polytopic linear systems with average dwell-time

This paper investigates the problem of robust exponential H _∞ static output feedback controller design for a class of discrete-time switched linear systems with polytopic-type time-varying parametric uncertainties. The objective is to design a switched static output feedback controller guaranteeing the exponential stability of the resulting closed-loop system with a minimized exponential H _∞ performance under average dwell-time switching scheme. Based on a parameter-dependent discontinuous switched Lyapunov function combined with Finsler’s lemma and Dualization lemma, some novel conditions for exponential H _∞ performance analysis are first proposed and in turn the static output feedback controller designs are developed. It is shown that the controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which are numerically efficient with commercially available software. Finally, a simulation example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.     

Robust performance of linear parametrically varying systems using parametrically-dependent linear feedback

In this paper a parameter-dependent control problem for linear parametrically varying (LPV) systems is presented. Sufficient conditions are given that guarantee an LPV system is exponentially stable and achieves an induced L₂-norm performance objective from the disturbance to error signals. The usefulness of parameter-dependent controllers is motivated from a gain-scheduling viewpoint. The resulting synthesis problem is reformulated into a convex optimization problem, which can be solved using efficient new algorithms.     

Parameter-dependent state observer design for affine LPV systems

In this paper, the design of a parameter-dependent state observer that allows to estimate the state of an affine linear parameter-varying (LPV) system is investigated. The observer has the property of being parameter-dependent since the corresponding state space matrices are scheduled using an interpolation method. Moreover, the stability of the estimation error is based on the existence of an affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov function. The main contribution of this paper is that the problem of the observer design and the existence of such a Lyapunov function is interpreted as a flexible LMI feasibility condition. Some illustrative examples are presented at the end of this paper.     

Robust switching-type H∞ filter design for linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of robust H_∞ filter design for a class of linear uncertain systems with time-varying delay. The uncertainty parameters are supposed to be time-varying, unknown, but bounded, which appear affinely in the matrices of the considered system model. Based on linear matrix inequality (LMI) method and switching laws, a new switching-type filter is designed to guarantee the asymptotic stability and H_∞ performance level of the filtering error systems. The key feature is that the new proposed filter parameters are switching between certain fixed gains automatically via the designed switching law. It is shown that the new filter design method is less conservative than the traditional fixed gain filter design method. An example is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed design.
