Observer‐Based Reliable Control for Discrete‐Time Switched Linear Systems with Faulty Actuators

This paper deals with the issue of reliable control for discrete‐time switched linear systems with faulty actuators by utilizing a multiple Lyapunov functions method and estimate state‐dependent switching technique. A solvability condition for the reliable control problem is given in terms of matrix inequality with an extra matrix variable. This condition allows the reliable control problem for each individual subsystem to be unsolvable. For each subsystem of such a switched system, we design an observer and an observer‐based controller. A switching rule depending on the observer state is designed which, together with the controllers, can guarantee the stability of the closed‐loop switched system for all admissible actuator failures. The observers, controllers, and switching law are explicitly computed by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The proposed design method is illustrated by two numerical examples.     

Design of Robust Discrete‐Time Observer‐Based Repetitive‐Control System

This paper concerns the design of a robust discrete‐time observer‐based repetitive‐control system for a class of linear plants with periodic uncertainties. A discrete two‐dimensional model is built that partially uncouples the control and learning actions of a repetitive‐control system, enabling their preferential adjustment. The combination of a singular‐value decomposition of the output matrix and Lyapunov stability theory is used to derive a linear‐matrix‐inequality‐based design algorithm that determines the control and state‐observer gains. A numerical example illustrates the main advantage of the method: easy, preferential adjustment of control and learning by means of two tuning parameters in an linear‐matrix‐inequality‐based condition.     

Adaptive Observer‐Based Global Sliding Mode Control for Uncertain Discrete‐Time Nonlinear Systems with Time‐Delays and Input Nonlinearity

A new discrete‐time adaptive global sliding mode control (SMC) scheme combined with a state observer is proposed for the robust stabilization of uncertain nonlinear systems with mismatched time delays and input nonlinearity. A state observer is developed to estimate the unmeasured system states. By using Lyapunov stability theorem and linear matrix inequality (LMI), the condition for the existence of quasi‐sliding mode is derived and the stability of the overall closed‐loop system is guaranteed. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the validity of the proposed scheme.     

Observer‐based controller design of discrete‐time piecewise affine systems

This paper presents a novel observer‐based controller design method for discrete‐time piecewise affine (PWA) systems. The basic idea is as follows: at first, a piecewise linear (without affine terms) state feedback controller and a PWA observer are designed separately, and then it is proved that the output feedback controller constructed by the resulting observer and state feedback controller gains can guarantee the stability of the closed‐loop system. During the controller design, the piecewise‐quadratic Lyapunov function technique is used. Moreover, the region information is taken into account to treat the affine terms, so the controller gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities, which are numerically feasible with commercially available software. Three simulation examples are given finally to verify the proposed theoretical results. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society

Graph‐Based Dwell Time Computation Methods for Discrete‐Time Switched Linear Systems

Analytical computation methods are proposed for evaluating the minimum dwell time and the average dwell time guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of a discrete‐time switched linear system whose switchings are assumed to respect a given directed graph. The minimum and average dwell time can be found using the graph that governs the switchings, and the associated weights. This approach, which is used in a previous work for continuous‐time systems having non‐defective subsystems, has been adapted to discrete‐time switched systems and generalized to allow defective subsystems. Moreover, we present a novel method to improve the dwell time estimation in the case of bimodal switched systems. In this method, scaling algorithms to minimize the condition number have been used to give better minimum dwell time and average dwell time estimates.     

Passive Control for Stochastic Interval Systems with Interval Time‐Varying Delay

This paper is concerned with the problem of delay‐dependent passive analysis and control for stochastic interval systems with interval time‐varying delay. The system matrices are assumed to be uncertain within given intervals, and the time delay is a time‐varying continuous function belonging to a given range. By the transformation of the interval uncertainty into the norm‐bounded uncertainty, partitioning the delay into two segments of equal length, and constructing an appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional in each segment of the delay interval, delay‐dependent stochastic passive control criteria are proposed without ignoring any useful terms by considering the information of the lower bound and upper bound for the time delay. The main contribution of this paper is that a tighter upper bound of the stochastic differential of Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is obtained via a newly‐proposed bounding condition. Based on the criteria obtained, a delay‐dependent passive controller is presented. The results are formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.     

Observer‐based fault‐tolerant control of hypersonic scramjet vehicles in the presence of actuator faults and saturation

An adaptive sliding mode observer (SMO)–based fault‐tolerant control method taking into consideration of actuator saturation is proposed for a hypersonic scramjet vehicle (HSV) under a class of time‐varying actuator faults. The SMO is designed to robustly estimate the HSV states and reconstruct the fault signals. The adaptive technique is integrated into the SMO to approximate the unknown bounds of system uncertainties, actuator faults, and estimation errors. The robust SMO synthesis condition, which can be formulated as a set of linear matrix inequalities, is improved by relaxing structure constraints to the Lyapunov matrix. An anti‐windup feedback control law, which utilizes the estimated HSV states and the fault signals, is designed to counteract the negative effects of actuator saturation induced by actuator faults. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach can guarantee stability and maintain performance of the closed‐loop system in the presence of HSV actuator faults and saturation.

A new sufficient condition of robust asymptotic stability with disturbance attenuation level for the overall systems composed of the original system and error system in the sliding mode is derived in terms of a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Then, a new adaptive controller is designed to guarantee the reachability of the predefined sliding surface in finite‐time. Finally, numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Finite‐Time H∞ State Estimation for Discrete‐Time Switched Control Systems Under Asynchronous Switching

The Luenberger observer technique has long been used for reliable state estimation of feedback control systems. In this paper it is employed for asynchronously switched control systems. The theory of finite‐time stability (FTS) and finite‐time boundedness (FTB) is incorporated, which is a relatively new concept offering open and challenging problems, especially in the field of robust state estimation for switched control systems. Many real‐world systems are supposed to run for a fixed interval of time and hence the design of finite‐time state observers has more significance from the point of view of many engineering applications. This investigation considers asynchronous switching between observer and physical systems, which accounts for inherent delays in practical applications caused by measurement and sensing mechanisms, and crafts a more practical and accurate design method. Furthermore, performance index which is a vital technique for robust system design against external disturbances is integrated in the design procedure.     

An Lmi Approach To Non‐Fragile Guaranteed Cost Control Of Uncertain Discrete Time‐Delay Systems

This paper studies the non‐fragile Guaranteed Cost Control (GCC) problem via memoryless state‐feedback controllers for a class of uncertain discrete time‐delay linear systems. The systems are assumed to have norm‐bounded, time‐varying parameter uncertainties in the state, delay‐state, input, delay‐input and state‐feedback gain matrices. Existence of the guaranteed cost controllers are related to solutions of some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The non‐fragile GCC state‐feedback controllers are designed based on a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints to minimize the guaranteed cost of the resultant closed‐loop systems. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the design methods.

Stabilization of Discrete‐time Switched Systems with State Constraints Based on Mode‐Dependent Average Dwell Time

This paper considers the stabilization problem for a class of switched systems with state constraints based on mode‐dependent average dwell time (MDADT) in discrete‐time context. An improved average dwell time method is proposed, which is less conservative than the common average dwell time method. The sufficient conditions and stabilizing state feedback controllers for stabilization of discrete‐time switched systems with state constraints under MDADT switching are derived. Finally, the simulation results show that the approach designed by this paper is effective.     

Robust Finite‐Time Control for Linear Time‐Varying Delay Systems With Bounded Control

The conditions are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be determined by utilizing the MATLAB LMI Control Toolbox. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
