Stability and asynchronous stabilization for a class of discrete-time switched nonlinear systems with stable and unstable subsystems

The stability analysis and asynchronous stabilization problems for a class of discrete-time switched nonlinear systems with stable and unstable subsystems are investigated in this paper. The Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is used to represent each nonlinear subsystem. Through using the T-S fuzzy model, the studied systems are modeled into the switched T-S fuzzy systems. By using the switching fuzzy-basis-dependent Lyapunov functions (FLFs) approach and mode-dependent average dwell time (MDADT) technique, the stability conditions for the open-loop switched T-S fuzzy systems with unstable subsystems and asynchronous stabilization conditions for the closed-loop switched T-S fuzzy systems with unstable subsystems are obtained. Both the stability results and asynchronous stabilization results are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the results obtained.     

GH2 Control for Uncertain Discrete-time-delay Fuzzy Systems Based on a Switching Fuzzy Model and Piecewise Lyapunov Function

Generalized H2 (GH2) stability analysis and controller design of the uncertain discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with state delay are studied based on a switching fuzzy model and piecewise Lyapunov function. GH2 stability sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The interactions among the fuzzy subsystems are considered. Therefore, the proposed conditions are less conservative than the previous results. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the controller design is quite simple and numerically tractable. To illustrate the validity of the proposed method, a design example is provided.     

Exponential stability and robust H∞ control of a class of discrete-time switched non-linear systems with time-varying delays via T-S fuzzy model

This paper deals with stability and robust H_∞ control of discrete-time switched non-linear systems with time-varying delays. The T-S fuzzy models are utilised to represent each sub-non-linear system. Thus, with two level functions, namely, crisp switching functions and local fuzzy weighting functions, we introduce a discrete-time switched fuzzy systems, which inherently contain the features of the switched hybrid systems and T-S fuzzy systems. Piecewise fuzzy weighting-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functionals (PFLKFs) and average dwell-time approach are utilised in this paper for the exponentially stability analysis and controller design, and with free fuzzy weighting matrix scheme, switching control laws are obtained such that H_∞ performance is satisfied. The conditions of stability and the control laws are given in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) that are numerically feasible. The state decay estimate is explicitly given. A numerical example and the control of delayed single link robot arm with uncertain part are given to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.     

Stability analysis of a class of switched linear systems on non-uniform time domains

This paper deals with the stability analysis of a class of switched linear systems on non-uniform time domains. The considered class consists of a set of linear continuous-time and linear discrete-time subsystems. First, some conditions are derived to guarantee the exponential stability of this class of systems on time scales with bounded graininess function when the subsystems are exponentially stable. These results are extended when considering an unstable discrete time subsystem or an unstable continuous-time subsystem. Some examples illustrate these results.

Relaxed delay-dependent stabilization criteria for discrete-time fuzzy systems based on a switching fuzzy model and piecewise Lyapunov functions

This paper presents delay-dependent stability analysis and controller synthesis methods for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy systems with time delays. The T-S fuzzy system is transformed to an equivalent switching fuzzy system. Consequently, the delay-dependent stabilization criteria are derived for the switching fuzzy system based on the piecewise Lyapunov function. The proposed conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. The interactions among the fuzzy subsystems are considered in each subregion, and accordingly the proposed conditions are less conservative than the previous results. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the controller design is quite simple and numerically tractable. Finally, a design example is given to show the validity of the proposed method.

Stability and Robust Stability of Switched Positive Linear Systems With All Modes Unstable

This paper is concerned with the stability and robust stability of switched positive linear systems (SPLSs) whose subsystems are all unstable. By means of the mode-dependent dwell time approach and a class of discretized co-positive Lyapunov functions, some stability conditions of switched positive linear systems with all modes unstable are derived in both the continuous-time and the discrete-time cases, respectively. The copositive Lyapunov functions constructed in this paper are timevarying during the dwell time and time-invariant afterwards. In addition, the above approach is extended to the switched interval positive systems. A numerical example is proposed to illustrate our approach.      

Finite Time Stability Analysis of Switched Systems with Stable and Unstable Subsystems

In this paper, we study the finite time stability of nonlinear switched systems consisting of both stable and unstable subsystems. First, the finite time stability of systems is studied using the activation time of the subsystems. We show that if the total activation time of unstable subsystems is relatively small compared with that of finite time stable subsystems, then finite time stability of switched systems is guaranteed. Second, the finite time stability of systems is studied based on the comparison principle. We show that if the comparison system is finite time stable, then the finite time stability of switched systems is guaranteed. Finally, a concrete application is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.     

Unified mode‐dependent average dwell time stability criteria for discrete‐time switched systems

In this article, a unified mode‐dependent average dwell time (MDADT) stability result is investigated, which could be applied to switched systems with an arbitrary combination of stable and unstable subsystems. Combined with MDADT analysis method, we classified subsystems into two categories: switching stable subsystems and switching unstable subsystems. State divergence caused by switching unstable subsystems could be compensated by activating switching stable subsystems for a sufficiently long time. Based on the above considerations, a new globally exponentially stability condition was proposed for discrete‐time switched linear systems. Under the premise of not resolving the LMIs, the MDADT boundary of the new stability condition is allowed to be readjusted according to the actual switching signal. Furthermore, the new stability result is a generalization of the previous one, which is more suitable for the case of more unstable subsystems. Some simulation results are given to show the advantages of the theoretic results obtained.

Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Regulator Design for Nonlinear and Unstable Systems Using Negative Absolute Eigenvalue Approach

This paper introduces a Takagi-Sugeno(T-S)fuzzy regulator design using the negative absolute eigenvalue(NAE)approach for a class of nonlinear and unstable systems.The open-loop system is initially embodied by the traditional T-S fuzzy model and then,all closed-loop subsystems are combined using the proposed Max-Min operator in place of traditional weighted average operator from the controller side to lessen the coupling virtually and simplify the proposed regulator design.For each virtually decoupled closed-loop subsystem,the composite regulators(i.e.,primary and secondary regulators)are designed by the NAE approach based on the enhanced eigenvalue analysis.The Lyapunov function is utilized to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the overall T-S fuzzy control system.The most popular and widely used nonlinear and unstable systems like the electromagnetic levitation system(EMLS)and the inverted cart pendulum(ICP)are simulated for the wide range of the initial conditions and the enormous variation in the disturbance.The transient and steady-state performance of the considered systems using the proposed design are analyzed in terms of the decay rate,settling time and integral errors as IAE,ISE,ITAE,and ITSE to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to the most popular and traditional parallel distributed compensation(PDC)approach.     

基于LMI的一类非线性多时滞系统的模糊H∞滤波器设计

This paper develops fuzzy H1 filter for state estimation approach for nonlinear discrete-time systems with multiple time delays and unknown bounded disturbances. We design a stable fuzzy H1 filter based on the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model, which assures asymptotic stability and a prescribed H1 index for the filtering error system. Sufficient condition for the existence of such a filter is established by solving the linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem. The LMI problem can be efficiently solved with global convergence using the interior point algorithm. Simulation examples are provided to illustrate the design procedure of the proposed method.     

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 fuzzy control for uncertain discrete-time nonlinear Markovian jump systems without mode observations

This paper studies the robust fuzzy control problem of uncertain discrete-time nonlinear Markovian jump systems without mode observations. The Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is employed to represent a discrete-time nonlinear system with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties and Markovian jump parameters. As a result, an uncertain Markovian jump fuzzy system (MJFS) is obtained. A stochastic fuzzy Lyapunov function (FLF) is employed to analyze the robust stability of the uncertain MJFS, which not only is dependent on the operation modes of the system, but also directly includes the membership functions. Then, based on this stochastic FLF and a non-parallel distributed compensation (non-PDC) scheme, a mode-independent state-feedback control design is developed to guarantee that the closed-loop MJFS is stochastically stable for all admissible parameter uncertainties. The proposed sufficient conditions for the robust stability and mode-independent robust stabilization are formulated as a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved efficiently by using existing LMI optimization techniques. Finally, it is also demonstrated, via a simulation example, that the proposed design method is effective.

The second approach presents the reachability and observability Gramians of the switched systems, which allows a balanced truncation model reduction procedure. A numerical example shows the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
