Robust stability and stabilizing controller design of fuzzy systems with discrete and distributed delays

In this paper, we consider delay-dependent stability conditions of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with discrete and distributed delays. Although many kinds of stability conditions for fuzzy systems with discrete delays have already been obtained, almost no stability condition for fuzzy systems with distributed delays has appeared in the literature. This is also true in case of the robust stability for uncertain fuzzy systems with distributed delays. Here we employ a generalized Lyapunov functional to obtain delay-dependent stability conditions of fuzzy systems with discrete and distributed delays. We introduce some free weighting matrices to such a Lyapunov functional in order to reduce the conservatism in stability conditions. These techniques lead to generalized and less conservative stability conditions. We also consider the robust stability of fuzzy time-delay systems with uncertain parameters. Applying the same techniques made on the stability conditions, we obtain delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the robust stability of uncertain fuzzy systems with discrete and distributed delays. Moreover, we consider the state feedback stabilization. Based on stability and robust stability conditions, we obtain conditions for the state feedback controller to stabilize the fuzzy time-delay systems. Finally, we give two examples to illustrate our results. Delay-dependent stability conditions obtained here are shown to guarantee a wide stability region.     

Stability analysis of a general family of nonlinear positive discrete time-delay systems

In this paper, we propose a new approach to analyse the stability of a general family of nonlinear positive discrete time-delay systems. First, we introduce a new class of nonlinear positive discrete time-delay systems, which generalises some existing discrete time-delay systems. Second, through a new technique that relies on the comparison and mathematical induction method, we establish explicit criteria for stability and instability of the systems. Three numerical examples are given to illustrate the feasibility of the obtained results.     

Robust analysis of nonlinear discrete systems with multiple time delays

In this paper, we present the stability criteria, sufficient conditions that guarantee the robust stability of linear structured or unstructured variation of discrete time-delay systems subjected to the given bounds of nonlinear function. Both single and composite nonlinear discrete systems with multiple time delays are considered and each of these results is expressed by a succinct scalar inequality and independent of delay time.     

New Robust Stability Conditions and Design of Robust Stabilizing Controllers for Takagi–Sugeno Fuzzy Time-Delay Systems

In this paper, we consider robust stability and stabilization of uncertain Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy time-delay systems where uncertainties come into the state and input matrices. Some stability conditions and robust stability conditions for fuzzy time-delay systems have already been obtained in the literature. However, those conditions are rather conservative and do not guarantee the stability of a wide class of fuzzy systems. This is true in case of designing stabilizing controllers for fuzzy time-delay systems and it thus leads to a conservative fuzzy controller design as well. We first consider rather relaxed robust stability conditions of uncertain fuzzy systems. To this end, we introduce an auxiliary system to the original fuzzy time-delay system to obtain generalized delay-dependent stability conditions. Such an auxiliary system has some arbitrary matrices that generalize not only the system representation but also delay-dependent stability conditions. Conditions we obtain here are delay-dependent conditions that depend on the upper bound of time-delay, and are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Then, we compare our delay-dependent stability conditions with other conditions in the literature, and show that our conditions guarantee the stability of a wider class of systems than others. Next, we consider the robust stabilization problem with memoryless and delayed state feedback controllers. Based on our generalized robust stability conditions, we obtain delay-dependent sufficient conditions for the closed-loop system to be robustly stable, and give a design method of robustly stabilizing controllers. Finally, we give three examples that illustrate our results.     

A discrete delay decomposition approach to stability of linear retarded and neutral systems

This paper is concerned with stability of linear time-delay systems of both retarded and neutral types by using some new simple quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. These Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals consist of two parts. One part comes from some existing Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals employed in [Han, Q.-L. (2005a). Absolute stability of time-delay systems with sector-bounded nonlinearity. Automatica, 41, 2171-2176; Han, Q.-L. (2005b). A new delay-dependent stability criterion for linear neutral systems with norm-bounded uncertainties in all system matrices. International Journal of Systems Science, 36, 469-475]. The other part is constructed by uniformly dividing the discrete delay interval into multiple segments and choosing proper functionals with different weighted matrices corresponding to different segments. Then using these new simple quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, some new discrete delay-dependent stability criteria are derived for both retarded systems and neutral systems. It is shown that these criteria for retarded systems and neutral systems are always less conservative than the ones in Han (2005a) and Han (2005b) cited above, respectively. Numerical examples also show that the results obtained in this paper significantly improve the estimate of the discrete delay limit for stability over some other existing results.

Delay-dependent H-infinity control for continuous time-delay systems via state feedback

The delay-dependent H-infinity analysis and H-infinity control problems for continuous time-delay systems are studied. By introducing an equality with some free weighting matrices, an improved criterion of delay-dependent stability with H-infinity performance for such systems is presented, and a criterion of existence and some design methods of delay-dependent H-infinity controller for such systems are proposed in term of a set of matrix inequalities, which is solved efficiently by an iterative algorithm. Further, the corresponding results for the delay-dependent robust H-infinity analysis and robust H-infinity control problems for continuous time-delay uncertain systems are given. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method by comparing with the other existing results.

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.     

Robust model predictive control of discrete nonlinear systems with time delays and disturbances via T–S fuzzy approach

In this paper, robust fuzzy model predictive control of a class of nonlinear discrete systems subjected to time delays and persistent disturbances is investigated. Based on the modeling method of delay difference inclusions, nonlinear discrete time-delay systems can be represented by T–S fuzzy systems comprised of piecewise linear delay difference equations. Moreover, Lyapunov–Razumikhin function (LRF), instead of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), is employed for time-delay systems due to its ability to reflect system original state space and its advantages in controller synthesis and computation. The robust positive invariance and input-to-state stability with respect to disturbance under such circumstances are investigated. A robust constraint set is adopted that the system state is converged to this set round the desired point. In addition, the controller synthesis conditions are derived by solving a set of matrix inequalities. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can be successfully applied to the well-known continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) systems subjected to time delay.     

Linear parameter-varying discrete time-delay systems: Stability and l 2-gain controllers

In this paper, we investigate a class of linear parameter-varying discrete time-delay (LPVDTD) systems where the state-space matrices depend on time-varying parameters and the delay is unknown but bounded. We treat both notions of quadratic stability based on a single quadratic Lyapunov function and affine quadratic stability using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions. In both cases, we develop LMI-based results of stability testing for time-delay as well as delayless discrete-time systems. Then, we design state-feedback controllers which guarantee quadratic stability and an induced l ₂-norm bound. For the case of dynamic output feedback control, we use a parameter-independent quadratic Lyapunov-Krasovskii function to develop LMI-based solvability conditions which are evaluated at the extreme points of the admissible parameter set. Throughout the paper, complementary results for linear parameter-varying discrete (LPVD) systems without delay are presented.     

Improved Stability Criteria for Discrete-time Delay Systems via Novel Summation Inequalities

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis of linear discrete time-delay systems. New discrete inequalities for single summation and double summation are presented to estimate summation terms in the forward difference of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional (LKF), which are more general than some commonly used summation inequalities. Through the construction of an augmented LKF, improved delay-dependent stability criteria for discrete time-delay systems are established. Based on this, a time-delayed controller is derived for linear discrete time-delay systems. Finally, the advantages of the proposed criteria are revealed from the solutions of the numerical examples.     

On the robustness of stability for uncertain time-delay systems

Based on the Lyapunov stability theorem associated with induced norm of matrix and matrix measure techniques, this paper addresses the robust stability analysis for linear time-delay systems with uncertainties. Several new criteria, expressed by concise inequalities, are presented to guarantee the robust stability and stability with a specified decaying rate for the above systems. Both nonlinear norm-bounded and highly structured parametric uncertainties are discussed. Finally, the superiority of the proposed results is demonstrated in the illustrative examples by comparing with those available in the literature
