Robust output‐control for uncertain linear systems: Homogeneous differentiator‐based observer approach

This paper deals with the design of a robust control for linear systems with external disturbances using a homogeneous differentiator‐based observer based on a implicit Lyapunov function approach. Sufficient conditions for stability of the closed‐loop system in the presence of external disturbances are obtained and represented by linear matrix inequalities. The parameter tuning for both controller and observer is formulated as a semi‐definite programming problem with linear matrix inequalities constraints. Simulation results illustrate the feasibility of the proposed approach and some improvements with respect to the classic linear observer approach. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Robust stability analysis of linear systems with parametric uncertainty

This article is concerned with the problem of robust stability analysis of linear systems with uncertain parameters. By constructing an equivalent system with positive uncertain parameters and using the properties of these parameters, a new stability analysis condition is derived. Due to making use of the properties of uncertain parameters, the new proposed method has potential to give less conservative results than the existing approaches. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust stability of uncertain singular time-delay systems via LFT approach

The robust stability problem of continuous-time singular systems with multiple state delays and bounded parametric uncertainties is considered. Both commensurate and non-commensurate delays are investigated. On the basis of the linear fractional transformations (LFTs) framework and μ-analysis, a systematic approach is derived to convert the robustness problem to a robust nonsingularity problem. Some explicit conditions are proposed to guarantee the uncertain singular time-delay system being regular, impulse-free and stable independent of delay. Two illustrative examples are given to show the feasibility of the proposed technique.     

Robust stability analysis of uncertain switched linear systems with unstable subsystems

The problem of robust stability for switched linear systems with all the subsystems being unstable is investigated. Unlike the most existing results in which each switching mode in the system is asymptotically stable, the subsystems may be unstable in this paper. A necessary condition of stability for switched linear systems is first obtained with certain hypothesis. Then, under two assumptions, sufficient conditions of exponential stability for both deterministic and uncertain switched linear systems are presented by using the invariant subspace theory and average dwell time method. Moreover, we further develop multiple Lyapunov functions and propose a method for constructing multiple Lyapunov functions for the considered switched linear systems with certain switching law. Several examples are included to show the effectiveness of the theoretical findings.

Robust Kalman filtering for uncertain systems

This paper studies the problem of Kalman filter design for uncertain systems. The system under consideration is subjected to time-varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainties in both the state and measurement matrices. The problem we address is the design of a state estimator such that the covariance of the estimation error is guaranteed to be within a certain bound for all admissible uncertainties. A Riccati equation approach is proposed to solve the above problem. Furthermore, a suboptimal covariance upper bound can be computed by a convex optimization.     

Robust finite-time stabilisation of uncertain linear systems

This article deals with the problem of finite-time stability and stabilisation of uncertain linear systems. For linear time-varying systems subject to norm-bounded uncertainties some conditions for finite-time stability are provided. These conditions are expressed in terms of differential linear matrix inequalities. Then the problem of controller design is tackled, both for the state feedback and for the output feedback case; in both cases the controller can be found solving a suitable set of LMIs. A typical engineering case-study is included, to illustrate the applicability of the devised conditions.     

Robust stability and performance of stochastic uncertain systems on an infinite time interval

In this paper, we consider a robust stability problem for continuous time stochastic uncertain systems. The uncertainty in the system is characterized in terms of an uncertain probability distribution on the noise input. This uncertainty is assumed to satisfy a certain relative entropy constraint. The solution to a specially parametrized risk-sensitive performance analysis problem is used to estimate the level of guaranteed performance for the stochastic uncertain system under consideration. This solution is obtained by solving an algebraic Riccati equation. The corresponding performance bound holds for all admissible uncertainties and is nonconservative.     

Robust stability analysis and stabilisation of uncertain neutral singular systems

This paper studies the problem of robust stability and stabilisation of uncertain neutral singular systems and develops a new stability criterion of the differential operator, ? by the final value theorem for Laplace transform. By utilising Lyapunov functional and free-weight matrix method, we employ the linear matrix inequality technique and the stability condition to derive some new criteria which ensure the robustly asymptotical stability of the studied system. State feedback controllers with disturbance are designed to guarantee the robustly asymptotical stability of the uncertain system. Numerical examples are provided to validate the effectiveness of the obtained results.     

Robust design of feedback feed-forward iterative learning control based on 2D system theory for linear uncertain systems

For a class of linear discrete-time uncertain systems, a feedback feed-forward iterative learning control (ILC) scheme is proposed, which is comprised of an iterative learning controller and two current iteration feedback controllers. The iterative learning controller is used to improve the performance along the iteration direction and the feedback controllers are used to improve the performance along the time direction. First of all, the uncertain feedback feed-forward ILC system is presented by an uncertain two-dimensional Roesser model system. Then, two robust control schemes are proposed. One can ensure that the feedback feed-forward ILC system is bounded-input bounded-output stable along time direction, and the other can ensure that the feedback feed-forward ILC system is asymptotically stable along time direction. Both schemes can guarantee the system is robust monotonically convergent along the iteration direction. Third, the robust convergent sufficient conditions are given, which contains a linear matrix inequality (LMI). Moreover, the LMI can be used to determine the gain matrix of the feedback feed-forward iterative learning controller. Finally, the simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.     

Robust stability of parameter uncertain systems with limited data rates

This article investigates the robust stability problem for parameter uncertain systems with limited data rates. A time-varying recursive allocation (TVRA) algorithm is proposed to solve the modal decomposition and data-rate allocation problems that have to be faced for a multi-dimensional uncertain system. Sufficient conditions for robust stability of the feedback loop are derived. A positive critical lower bound of data rates is presented, below which there exists no quantisation, coding and control scheme to stabilise an unstable parameter uncertain plant. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed scheme.     

Robust practical output regulation for a class of uncertain linear minimum‐phase systems by output‐based event‐triggered control

In this paper, we consider the robust practical output regulation problem for a class of SISO uncertain linear minimum‐phase systems subject to external disturbances by an output‐based event‐triggered control law, where the reference inputs and the external disturbances are both generated by a so‐called exosystem with known dynamics. Our approach consists of two steps. First, on the basis of the internal model principle, we convert the problem into the robust practical stabilization problem of a well‐defined augmented system. Second, we design an output‐based event‐triggered mechanism and an output‐based event‐triggered control law to solve the stabilization problem, which in turn leads to the solvability of the original problem. What is more, we show that the event‐triggered mechanism prevents the Zeno behavior from happening. A numerical example is given to illustrate the design.

Piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions over conical partitions for robust stability analysis

In this paper, the robust stability problem for uncertain linear continuous‐time systems is faced making use of piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions (PQLF). PQLF are obtained by partitioning the state space into polyhedral cones and by associating a quadratic form with each cone. The proposed formulation allows us to recover, as particular cases of PQLFs, not only the class of quadratic functions but also the class of polyhedral functions. In this way, we manage to show the universality of the class of PQLF for the robust stability problem. The main contribution of the paper is the formulation of a low‐computational cost procedure for the stability analysis of uncertain linear systems. Several numerical examples are included in the paper, where the proposed approach is tested on some benchmark cases taken from the literature. Comparisons with existing methods show that the proposed method performs better under several aspects. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust stability and stabilization of uncertain linear positive systems via integral linear constraints: L1‐gain and L∞‐gain characterization

Copositive linear Lyapunov functions are used along with dissipativity theory for stability analysis and control of uncertain linear positive systems. Unlike usual results on linear systems, linear supply rates are employed here for robustness and performance analysis using L₁‐gain and L_∞‐gain. Robust stability analysis is performed using integral linear constraints for which several classes of uncertainties are discussed. The approach is then extended to robust stabilization and performance optimization. The obtained results are expressed in terms of robust linear programming problems that are equivalently turned into finite dimensional ones using Handelman's theorem. Several examples are provided for illustration. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Robust exponential stability of uncertain stochastic systems with probabilistic time‐varying delays

This paper is concerned with the problem of delay‐distribution–dependent robust exponential stability for uncertain stochastic systems with probabilistic time‐varying delays. Firstly, inspired by a class of networked systems with quantization and packet losses, we study the stabilization problem for a class of network‐based uncertain stochastic systems with probabilistic time‐varying delays. Secondly, an equivalent model of the resulting closed‐loop network‐based uncertain stochastic system is constructed. Different from the previous works, the proposed equivalent system model enables the controller design of the network‐based uncertain stochastic systems to enjoy the advantage of probability distribution characteristic of packet losses. Thirdly, by applying the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii functional approach and the stochastic stability theory, delay‐distribution–dependent robust exponential mean‐square stability criteria are derived, and the sufficient conditions for the design of the delay‐distribution–dependent controller are then proposed to guarantee the stability of the resulting system. Finally, a case study is given to show the effectiveness of the results derived. Moreover, the allowable upper bound of consecutive packet losses will be larger in the case that the probability distribution characteristic of packet losses is taken into consideration.
