Mode-independent robust stabilization for uncertain Markovian jump nonlinear systems via fuzzy control.

This paper is concerned with the robust-stabilization problem of uncertain Markovian jump nonlinear systems (MJNSs) without mode observations via a fuzzy-control approach. The Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a nonlinear system with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and Markovian jump parameters. The aim is to design a mode-independent fuzzy controller such that the closed-loop Markovian jump fuzzy system (MJFS) is robustly stochastically stable. Based on a stochastic Lyapunov function, a robust-stabilization condition using a mode-independent fuzzy controller is derived for the uncertain MJFS in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A new improved LMI formulation is used to alleviate the interrelation between the stochastic Lyapunov matrix and the system matrices containing controller variables in the derivation process. Finally, a simulation example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Dissipative based adaptive reliable sampled-data control of time-varying delay systems

This paper is concerned with the problem of dissipative based adaptive reliable controller for a class of time delay systems subject to actuator failures and time-varying sampling with a known upper bound on the sampling intervals. By constructing a proper Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which fully uses the available information about the actual sampling pattern and time delays, a new set of sufficient conditions is derived to obtain the required result. Then, a dissipative based adaptive sampled-data controller is designed such that the resulting closed-loop system is reliable in the sense that it is asymptotically stable and has the prescribed dissipative performance under given constraints. The existence condition of the desired dissipative based adaptive reliable sampled-data controller is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Further, the performance of the proposed controller is implemented on a liquid propellant rocket motor with a pressure feeding system model. The simulation results show the effectiveness and better performance of the proposed adaptive reliable sampled-data controller over conventional reliable controller.

Stability analysis and stabilization of networked linear systems with random packet losses

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis and stabilization of networked discrete-time and sampled-data linear systems with random packet losses. Asymptotic stability, mean-square stability, and stochastic stability are considered. For networked discrete-time linear systems, the packet loss period is assumed to be a finite-state Markov chain. We establish that the mean-square stability of a related discrete-time system which evolves in random time implies the mean-square stability of the system in deterministic time by using the equivalence of stability properties of Markovian jump linear systems in random time. We also establish the equivalence of asymptotic stability for the systems in deterministic discrete time and in random time. For networked sampled-data systems, a binary Markov chain is used to characterize the packet loss phenomenon of the network. In this case, the packet loss period between two transmission instants is driven by an identically independently distributed sequence assuming any positive values. Two approaches, namely the Markov jump linear system approach and randomly sampled system approach, are introduced. Based on the stability results derived, we present methods for stabilization of networked sampled-data systems in terms of matrix inequalities. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the design methods of stabilizing controllers.

Passivity-based non-fragile control for Markovian jump systems with aperiodic sampling

In this paper, the problem of non-fragile passive control for Markovian jump systems with aperiodic sampling is investigated. The considered controller is assumed to have either additive or multiplicative norm-bounded uncertainties. A time-dependent Lyapunov functional capturing the available information of the sampling pattern is constructed to derive a sufficient condition for non-fragile stochastic passivity of the resultant closed-loop system. Based on the condition, a mode-independent state feedback sampled-data controller is designed such that for all admissible uncertainties the closed-loop system is robustly stochastically passive. Two illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed techniques.

Observer‐based finite‐time stabilization for extended Markov jump systems

In this paper, we study the problem of observer‐based finite‐time stabilization for a class of extended Markov jump systems with norm‐bounded uncertainties and external disturbances. The stochastic character under consideration is governed by a finite‐state Markov process, but with only partial information on the transition jump rates. Based on the finite‐time stability analysis, sufficient conditions for the existence of the observer‐based controller are derived via a linear matrix inequality approach such that the closed‐loop system trajectory stays within a prescribed bound in a fixed time interval. When these conditions are satisfied, the designed observer‐based controller gain matrices can be obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approaches proposed in this paper. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

Observer‐based mode‐independent integral sliding mode controller design for phase‐type semi‐Markov jump singular systems

This paper considers the observer‐based integral sliding mode controller design problem of semi‐Markovian jumping singular systems with time‐varying delays. Firstly, by using a plant transformation and supplementary variable technique in the work of Hou et al, the discussed phase‐type semi‐Markov jump singular system is equivalently transformed into its associated Markov jump singular system. Secondly, an observer‐based sliding mode controller design problem is investigated for the associated singular Markov jump systems. The highlight of this paper is that we construct an observer‐based mode‐independent integral sliding mode surface function, which is different from the mode‐dependant sliding mode surface function in the previous literatures. Based on this, an observer‐based sliding mode controller is designed to guarantee that the associated singular Markov jump system meets the reachable condition. Finally, a practical example is presented to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our obtained results.     

Robust stabilization of singular markovian jump systems with uncertain switching

This paper focuses on the robust stabilization problem for a class of singular Markovian jump systems with uncertain switching probabilities. Based on a slack matrix method on transition probabilities, a new criterion for quadratically stochastic admissibility of such an uncertain system is established. Then, two new sufficient conditions for the existence of mode-dependent controller are given as linear matrix inequalities. Especially, a more practical controller named as mode-independent controller is derived by a mode-dependent Lyapunov function. Finally, a numerical example is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Dissipative control for Markov jump non-linear stochastic systems based on T–S fuzzy model

The dissipative analysis and control problems for a class of Markov jump non-linear stochastic systems (MJNSSs) are investigated. A sufficient condition for the dissipativity of MJNSSs is given in terms of coupled non-linear Hamilton–Jacobi inequalities (HJIs). Generally, it is difficult to solve the coupled HJIs. In this paper, based on T–S fuzzy model, the dissipative analysis and controller design for MJNSSs is proposed via solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) instead of HJIs. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Strictly dissipative stabilization of multiple‐memory Markov jump systems with general transition rates: A novel event‐triggered control strategy

This paper investigates the strictly dissipative stabilization problem for multiple‐memory Markov jump systems with network communication protocol. Firstly, for reducing data transmission, we put forward a novel mode‐dependent event‐triggered communication scheme based on aperiodically sampled data. Secondly, a Markov jump system with general transition rates is considered to make the result more applicable, where the transition rates of some jumping modes allow to be completely known, or partially known, or even completely unknown. Thirdly, a less restrictive Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional, which is only required to be positive definite at end points of each subinterval of the holding intervals, is first introduced for event‐triggered control issue. Based on the above methods, a sufficient condition with less conservatism is obtained to ensure the stochastic stability and dissipativity of the resulting closed‐loop system. Meanwhile, an explicit design method of the desired controller is achieved. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness and advantage of the proposed method.     

Receding horizon H∞ control problems for sampled-data systems§

In this article, the receding horizon H_∞ control problems for sampled-data systems are considered. Since sampled-data systems can be rewritten as equivalent jump systems, the receding horizon H_∞ control problems for time-varying jump systems are considered first and the design methods of a state feedback receding horizon H_∞ controller and an output feedback receding horizon H_∞ controller are given. Then the obtained results are applied to sampled-data systems and the design methods of a state feedback receding horizon H_∞ controller and an output feedback receding horizon H_∞ controller are given. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the theory.     

ℋ 2 filtering of discrete-time Markov jump linear systems through linear matrix inequalities

This paper addresses the ?₂ filtering design problem of discrete-time Markov jump linear systems. First, under the assumption that the Markov parameter is measured, the main contribution is on the LMI characterisation of all filters such that the estimation error remains bounded by a given ?₂ norm level, yielding the complete solution of the mode-dependent filtering design problem. Based on this result, a robust filter design to deal with convex bounded parameter uncertainty is considered. Second, from the same LMI characterisation, a design procedure for mode-independent filtering design is proposed. Some examples are solved for illustration and comparison.     

PI tracking control for nonlinear time-varying delay Markov jump systems

This paper considers robust stochastic stability and PI tracking control problem for Markov jump systems with both input delay and an unknown nonlinear function. Based on the traditional PI control strategy, a new controller design scheme is proposed for nonlinear time-delay Markov jump systems which can realize multiple control objectives including robust stochastic stability and tracking performance. By using the Lyapunov stability theory and LMI algorithms, a sufficient condition for the solution to robust stochastic stability and tracking control problem is obtained. Then, the desired controller with PI structure is designed, which ensures the resulting closed-loop system is robust stochastically stable and the system state has favorable tracking performance. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Stabilization of Markov jump linear systems using quantized state feedback

This paper addresses the stabilization problem for single-input Markov jump linear systems via mode-dependent quantized state feedback. Given a measure of quantization coarseness, a mode-dependent logarithmic quantizer and a mode-dependent linear state feedback law can achieve optimal coarseness for mean square quadratic stabilization of a Markov jump linear system, similar to existing results for linear time-invariant systems. The sector bound approach is shown to be non-conservative in investigating the corresponding quantized state feedback problem, and then a method of optimal quantizer/controller design in terms of linear matrix inequalities is presented. Moreover, when the mode process is not observed by the controller and quantizer, a mode estimation algorithm obtained by maximizing a certain probability criterion is given. Finally, an application to networked control systems further demonstrates the usefulness of the results.     

Improved dissipativity-based analysis and synthesis of T-S fuzzy systems with aperiodic memory sampled-data controllers via an augmented looped-functional

The dissipativity-based analysis and synthesis issues of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems by applying aperiodic memory sampling control are investigated in this paper. Compared with the more conservative dissipative conditions and controller design methods proposed in the past based on Lyapunov theory, the main purpose of this paper is to obtain a less conservative dissipative criterion and devise an aperiodic memory sampled-data controller. Firstly, the sampling controller is assumed to work in aperiodic sample mode, and the time delay in the communication network is considered. Next, an augmented delay-product-type looped-functional is proposed such that the whole information of sampling and delay, which has not been studied before, is well taken into account. A new dissipative criterion and an aperiodic sampled-data control strategy are proposed by applying free-matrix-based integral inequalities consequently. Finally, a truck-trailer system is implemented to elaborate the availability and the merit of the designed strategy.     

Distributed fault detection over sensor networks with Markovian switching topologies

This paper deals with the distributed fault detection for discrete-time Markov jump linear systems over sensor networks with Markovian switching topologies. The sensors are scatteredly deployed in the sensor field and the fault detectors are physically distributed via a communication network. The system dynamics changes and sensing topology variations are modeled by a discrete-time Markov chain with incomplete mode transition probabilities. Each of these sensor nodes firstly collects measurement outputs from its all underlying neighboring nodes, processes these data in accordance with the Markovian switching topologies, and then transmits the processed data to the remote fault detector node. Network-induced delays and accumulated data packet dropouts are incorporated in the data transmission between the sensor nodes and the distributed fault detector nodes through the communication network. To generate localized residual signals, mode-independent distributed fault detection filters are proposed. By means of the stochastic Lyapunov functional approach, the residual system performance analysis is carried out such that the overall residual system is stochastically stable and the error between each residual signal and the fault signal is made as small as possible. Furthermore, a sufficient condition on the existence of the mode-independent distributed fault detection filters is derived in the simultaneous presence of incomplete mode transition probabilities, Markovian switching topologies, network-induced delays, and accumulated data packed dropouts. Finally, a stirred-tank reactor system is given to show the effectiveness of the developed theoretical results.
