Further condition for the delay-independent stabilization of linear systems

There are two different conditions for the delay-independent stabilization of linear systems by means of state variable feedback including no delays, one of which is also sufficient for decay rate assignability. In this paper a wider condition is presented for delay-independent stabilization. It is proved that this condition includes the conditions so far obtained     

Delay-independent stabilization of linear systems

Stabilization of delayed linear systems by state-variable feedback is studied in this paper. The assignability of the decaying rate of these systems is also considered. The conditions obtained are applicable to systems with time-varying delays without any restriction. The basis of these conditions is a criterion for delay-independent stability of linear system previously obtained. It is shown that in some cases a system is delay-independent stabilizable although a decaying rate is not assignable for this system.     

Necessary and Sufficient Stability Criterion and Stabilization for Positive 2‐D Continuous‐Time Systems with Multiple Delays

This paper addresses the stability and control problem of the linear positive two‐dimensional (2‐D) continuous‐time systems in Roesser model with multiple time delays. The contribution lies in two aspects. First, a simple novel proof is provided to establish necessary and sufficient conditions of asymptotic stability for 2‐D continuous delayed systems. It turns out that the magnitude of delays has no any impact on the stability of these systems, which is completely determined by the system matrices. Second, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of state‐feedback controllers is proposed for general delayed 2‐D systems, which ensures the non‐negativity and the stability of the resulting closed‐loop systems. Two examples are given to validate the proposed methods.     

Output feedback stabilization

The stabilization of control systems using output feedback is addressed. Necessary and sufficient Lyapunov conditions are established, generalizing the Artstein's stabilization theorem. For linear control systems, a necessary and sufficient Lyapunov condition is provided for stabilization by means of a linear output feedback law     

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.     

Quadratic stability and stabilization of bimodal piecewise linear systems

This paper deals with quadratic stability and feedback stabilization problems for continuous bimodal piecewise linear systems. First, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities for quadratic stability and stabilization of this class of systems. Later, these conditions are investigated from a geometric control point of view and a set of sufficient conditions (in terms of the zero dynamics of one of the two linear subsystems) for feedback stabilization are obtained.     

INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS WITH OCCASIONAL INFORMATION FEEDBACK

Stabilizability is herein studied for linear discrete-time systems with occasional information feedback supplied by a remote controller via a communication channel with limited data-rate. A new concept called set-stabilizability is introduced, and sufficient and necessary stabilizability conditions on the quantization level and control precision are derived. Most importantly, a specific relationship between stabilizability and the communication data rate is established. For different network-induced delays that are assumed to be constant, time varying, and random, respectively, the lowest data rates sufficient/necessary for the system to be finite time set-stabilizable, Lyapunov stabilizable, and probability-1 stabilizable are obtained accordingly.     

Distributed consensus for multi-agent systems with delays and noises in transmission channels

This paper studies the distributed consensus problem for linear discrete-time multi-agent systems with delays and noises in transmission channels. Due to the presence of noises and delays, existing techniques such as the lifting technique and the stochastic Lyapunov theory are no longer applicable to the analysis of consensus. In this paper, a novel technique is introduced to overcome the difficulties induced by the delays and noises. A consensus protocol with decaying gains satisfying persistence condition is adopted. Necessary and sufficient conditions for strong consensus and mean square consensus are respectively given for non-leader–follower and leader–follower cases under a fixed topology. Under dynamically switching topologies and randomly switching topologies, sufficient conditions for strong consensus and mean square consensus are also obtained. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocols.     

A new approach to consensus problems in discrete-time multiagent systems with time-delays

In this paper, consensus problems in discrete-time multiagent systems with time-invariant delays are considered. In order to characterize the structures of communication topologies, the concept of "pre-leader-follower" decomposition is introduced. Then, a necessary and sufficient condition for state consensus is established. By this method, consensus problems in networks with a single time-delay, as well as with multiple time-delays, are studied, and some necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of consensus problems are obtained.     

Quadratic stability in the circle theorem or positivity theorem

In this technical note, we study the quadratic stability problem for linear time-invariant multi-input, multi-output systems which have time-varying sector-bounded or positive real uncertainty feedback. It is known that the circle theorem and positivity theorem are sufficient conditions for robust stability, for sector-bounded and positive real feedback, respectively. We show that the circle theorem is necessary and sufficient condition for quadratic stability when the feedback is sector-bounded, and that the positivity theorem is necessary and sufficient condition for quadratic stability when the feedback is positive-real.

Output feedback disturbance decoupling in nonlinear systems

The problem of disturbance decoupling by means of output feedback is addressed. The notion of conditioned invariance is reconsidered in a linear algebraic framework. Using this geometric notion, a necessary and sufficient condition (respectively, necessary condition) is obtained for solving the disturbance decoupling problem by quasi-static output feedback (respectively, the disturbance decoupling problem by dynamic output feedback (DDDPO)). The necessary conditions for DDDPO which are derived are weaker than the existing ones, a sufficient condition for the disturbance decoupling problem by static output feedback is given as well

Memoryless stabilization of uncertain linear systems includingtime-varying state delays

The problem of stabilizing a class of uncertain time-delay systems via memoryless linear feedback is examined. The systems under consideration are linear systems with time-varying state delays. They also contain uncertain parameters (possibly time-varying) whose values are known only to within a prescribed compact bounding set. The main contribution given is to enlarge the class of time-delay systems for which one can construct a stabilizing memoryless linear feedback controller. Within this framework, a novel notion of robust memoryless stabilizability is first introduced via the method of Lyapunov functionals. Then a sufficient condition for the stabilizability is proposed. It is shown that solvability of a parameterized Riccati equation can be used to determine whether the time-delay system satisfies the sufficient condition. If there exists a positive definite symmetric solution satisfying the Riccati equation, a suitable memoryless linear feedback law can be derived     

Stabilisability of discrete-time multi-agent systems under fixed and switching topologies

This paper studies the problem of stabilisability for general discrete-time linear multi-agent systems. For fixed topology, a necessary and sufficient graph-theoretic condition is proposed. Based on this, a general linear form of the external control input is given, and two methods to design the feedback gain matrix by Riccati equality/inequality are given. For switching topology, a sufficient graph-theoretic condition is presented, under which the stabilisability of multi-agent systems is achieved by introducing an averaging analysis approach. Additionally, both results under fixed and switching topologies are applied for solving the tracking and formation control of discrete-time multi-agent systems, and some sufficient and/or necessary conditions are presented. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

Linear quadratic regulation for discrete-time systems with state delays and multiplicative noise

In this paper, the linear quadratic regulation problem for discrete-time systems with state delays and multiplicative noise is considered. The necessary and sufficient condition for the problem admitting a unique solution is given. Under this condition, the optimal feedback control and the optimal cost are presented via a set of coupled difference equations. Our approach is based on the maximum principle. The key technique is to establish relations between the costate and the state.     

On the generalization of state feedback decoupling theory

The theory of state-variable feedback decoupling in multivariable control systems is generalized to include the case where a subset of the output set is the candidate for decoupling. Systems in which such decoupling is employed will be termed "partially decoupled." Decoupling a selected set of outputs, when achieved by using a state feedback matrixFand a nousingular (m times m) input matrixG, will be calledm-input decoupling (MID), to reflect the restriction on the input matrix. An algorithm, developed by Silverman for constructing inverse systems, is shown to play an essential role in the MID problem, and using matrices constructed in the algorithm, necessary, and sufficient conditions form-input decoupling the specified set of outputs are obtained. As would be expected, these necessary and sufficient conditions include the existing conditions for decoupling all system outputs as a special case. An example is given illustrating the results.
