Delay‐range‐dependent H∞ control for Markovian jump systems with mode‐dependent time delays

This paper considers mean‐square exponential stability and H_∞ control problems for Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with time delays which are time‐varying in an interval and depend on system mode. By exploiting a novel Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional which takes into account the range of delay, and by making use of some techniques, new delay‐range‐dependent stability result and bounded real lemma for MJSs are obtained, where the introduction of the lower bound of delay is shown to be advantageous for reducing conservatism. Moreover, a sufficient condition for the solvability of the H_∞ control problem is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Finally, illustrative examples are presented to show the advantage and effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Delay‐dependent stability criterion and H∞ analysis for Markovian jump systems with time‐varying delays

This paper deals with the problems of stochastic stability and H_∞ analysis for Markovian jump linear systems with time‐varying delays. In terms of linear matrix inequalities, a less conservative delay‐dependent stability criterion for Markovian jump systems is proposed by constructing a different Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional and introducing improved integral‐equalities approach, and a sufficient condition is derived from the H_∞ performance. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and reduced conservatism of the results in this paper.

Robust stabilization and H∞ control of uncertain stochastic time‐delay systems with nonlinear perturbation

This paper investigates the problem of delay‐dependent robust stochastic stabilization and H_∞ control for uncertain stochastic nonlinear systems with time‐varying delay. System uncertainties are assumed to be norm bounded. Firstly, by using novel method to deal with the integral terms, robustly stochastic stabilization results are obtained for stochastic uncertain systems with nonlinear perturbation, and an appropriate memoryless state feedback controller can be chosen. Compared with previous results, the new technique can sufficiently utilize more negative items information. Then, robust H_∞ control for uncertain stochastic system with time‐varying delay and nonlinear perturbation is considered, and the controller is designed, which will guarantee that closed‐loop system is robustly stochastically stable with disturbance attenuation level. Finally, two numerical examples are listed to illustrate that our results are effective and less conservative than other reports in previous literature. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust H∞ deconvolution filtering for uncertain singular Markovian jump systems with time‐varying delays

The problem of H_∞ deconvolution filter design for a class of singular Markovian jump systems with time‐varying delays and parameter uncertainties is considered in this paper. By constructing a more comprehensive stochastic Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional, novel delay‐dependent conditions are established to guarantee the filtering error system is not only stochastically admissible, but also satisfies a prescribed H_∞‐norm level for all admissible uncertainties. The desired filter parameters can be obtained by solving a set of strict linear matrix inequalities. Two examples and an electrical RLC circuit example are employed to verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed methods in the paper. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

H∞ filtering for singular Markovian jump systems with time delay

The problem of H_∞ filtering is considered for singular Markovian jump systems with time delay. In terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, a delay‐dependent bounded real lemma (BRL) is proposed for the considered system to be stochastically admissible while achieving the prescribed H_∞ performance condition. Based on the BRL and under partial knowledge of the jump rates of the Markov process, both delay‐dependent and delay‐independent sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of the desired filter are presented. The explicit expression of the desired filter gains is also characterized by solving a set of strict LMIs. Some numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Delay‐dependent robust H∞ controller synthesis for discrete singular delay systems

In this paper, the problems of delay‐dependent robust stability analysis, robust stabilization and robust H_∞ control are investigated for uncertain discrete‐time singular systems with state delay. First, by making use of the delay partitioning technique, a new delay‐dependent criterion is given to ensure the nominal system to be regular, causal and stable. This new criterion is further extended to singular systems with both delay and parameter uncertainties. Then, without the assumption that the considered systems being regular and causal, robust controllers are designed for discrete‐time singular time‐delay systems such that the closed‐loop systems have the characteristics of regularity, causality and asymptotic stability. Moreover, the problem of robust H_∞ control is solved following a similar line. The obtained results are dependent not only on the delay, but also on the partitioning size and the conservatism is non‐increasing with reducing partitioning size. These results are shown, via extensive numerical examples, to be much less conservative than the existing results in the literature. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust H∞ control for uncertain singular systems with state delay

This paper addresses the problem of robust H_∞ control for uncertain continuous singular systems with state delay. The singular system under consideration involves state time delay and time‐invariant norm‐bounded uncertainty. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, we design a memoryless state feedback controller law, which guarantees that, for all admissible uncertainties, the resulting closed‐loop system is not only regular, impulse free and stable, but also meets an H_∞‐norm bound constraint on disturbance attenuation. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Robust stability,stabilization and ℋ∞ control of time‐delay systems with Markovian jump parameters

In this paper, the problems of stochastic stability and stabilization for a class of uncertain time‐delay systems with Markovian jump parameters are investigated. The jumping parameters are modelled as a continuous‐time, discrete‐state Markov process. The parametric uncertainties are assumed to be real, time‐varying and norm‐bounded that appear in the state, input and delayed‐state matrices. The time‐delay factor is constant and unknown with a known bound. Complete results for both delay‐independent and delay‐dependent stochastic stability criteria for the nominal and uncertain time‐delay jumping systems are developed. The control objective is to design a state feedback controller such that stochastic stability and a prescribed ?_∞‐performance are guaranteed. We establish that the control problem for the time‐delay Markovian jump systems with and without uncertain parameters can be essentially solved in terms of the solutions of a finite set of coupled algebraic Riccati inequalities or linear matrix inequalities. Extension of the developed results to the case of uncertain jumping rates is also provided. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Delay‐dependent robust H∞ control for uncertain stochastic time‐delay systems

This paper investigates the robust H_∞ control problem for stochastic systems with a delay in the state. Sufficient delay‐dependent conditions for the existence of state‐feedback controllers are proposed to guarantee mean‐square asymptotic stability as well as the prescribed H_∞ performance for the closed‐loop systems. Moreover, the results are further extended to the stochastic time‐delay systems with parameter uncertainties, which are assumed to be time‐varying norm‐bounded appearing in both the state and the input matrices. The appealing idea is to partition the delay, which differs greatly from the most existing results and reduces conservatism by thinning the delay partitioning. Numerical examples are provided to show the advantages of the proposed techniques. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust H∞ control for uncertain discrete‐time stochastic bilinear systems with Markovian switching

This paper is concerned with the problems of robust stochastic stabilization and robust H_∞ control for uncertain discrete‐time stochastic bilinear systems with Markovian switching. The parameter uncertainties are time‐varying norm‐bounded. For the robust stochastic stabilization problem, the purpose is the design of a state feedback controller which ensures the robust stochastic stability of the closed‐loop system irrespective of all admissible parameter uncertainties; while for the robust H_∞ control problem, in addition to the robust stochastic stability requirement, a prescribed level of disturbance attenuation is required to be achieved. Sufficient conditions for the solvability of these problems are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). When these LMIs are feasible, explicit expressions of the desired state feedback controllers are also given. An illustrative example is provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Then, based on the proposed stability result, we derive sufficient condition to solve the H_∞ controller design problem. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society
