H∞ output tracking control of uncertain and disturbed nonlinear systems based on neural network model

The work presented in this paper seeks to address the tracking problem for uncertain continuous nonlinear systems with external disturbances. The objective is to obtain a model that uses a reference-based output feedback tracking control law. The control scheme is based on neural networks and a linear difference inclusion (LDI) model, and a PDC structure and H_∞ performance criterion are used to attenuate external disturbances. The stability of the whole closed-loop model is investigated using the well-known quadratic Lyapunov function. The key principles of the proposed approach are as follows: neural networks are first used to approximate nonlinearities, to enable a nonlinear system to then be represented as a linearised LDI model. An LMI (linear matrix inequality) formula is obtained for uncertain and disturbed linear systems. This formula enables a solution to be obtained through an interior point optimisation method for some nonlinear output tracking control problems. Finally, simulations and comparisons are provided on two practical examples to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed method.

A mixed H2/H∞ adaptive tracking control for constrained non-holonomic systems

In this study, a PID type controller incorporating an adaptive control scheme for the mixed H₂/H_∞ tracking performance is developed for constrained non-holonomic mechanical systems under unknown or uncertain plant parameters and external disturbances. By virtue of the skew-symmetric property of the non-holonomic mechanical systems and an adequate choice of a state variable transformation, sufficient conditions are developed for the adaptive mixed H₂/H_∞ tracking control problems in terms of a pair of coupled algebraic equations instead of a pair of coupled non-linear differential equations. The coupled algebraic equations can be solved analytically.     

Decentralised indirect adaptive output feedback fuzzy H ∞ tracking design for a class of large-scale nonlinear systems

A novel decentralised indirect adaptive output feedback fuzzy controller with a compensation controller and an H _∞ tracking controller is presented for a class of uncertain large-scale nonlinear systems in this article. The compensator adaptively compensates for interconnections between subsystems as well as mismatched errors, while the H _∞ controller suppresses the effect of external disturbances. Based upon the combination of fuzzy inference systems, a state observer, H _∞ tracking technique and the strictly positive real condition, the proposed overall observer-based decentralised algorithm guarantees not only asymptotical tracking of reference trajectories but also an arbitrary small attenuation level of the unmodelled error dynamics including the disturbances on the tracking control. Simulation results substantiate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

New approaches to H∞ controller designs based on fuzzy observers for T-S fuzzy systems via LMI

The problems of relaxed quadratic stability conditions, fuzzy observer designs and H_∞ controller designs for T-S fuzzy systems have been studied. First new stability conditions are obtained by relaxing the stability conditions derived in previous papers. Secondly, new fuzzy observers based on the relaxed stability conditions for the T-S fuzzy systems have been proposed. Thirdly two sufficient LMI conditions, which guarantee the existence of the H_∞ controllers based on fuzzy observers for the T-S fuzzy systems have been proposed. The conditions are not only simple, but also consider the interactions among the fuzzy subsystems. Finally by some examples, using the LMI technique, we show that the regulators, the fuzzy observers and the H_∞ controller designs based on new observers for the T-S fuzzy systems are very practical and efficient.     

State feedback tracking control for indirect field-oriented induction motor using fuzzy approach

This paper deals with the synthesis of fuzzy controller applied to the induction motor with a guaranteed model reference tracking performance. First, the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is used to approximate the nonlinear system in the synchronous d-q frame rotating with field-oriented control strategy. Then, a fuzzy state feedback controller is designed to reduce the tracking error by minimizing the disturbance level. The proposed controller is based on a T-S reference model in which the desired trajectory has been specified. The inaccessible rotor flux is estimated by a T-S fuzzy observer. The developed approach for the controller design is based on the synthesis of an augmented fuzzy model which regroups the model of induction machine, fuzzy observer, and reference model. The gains of the observer and controller are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Finally, simulation and experimental results are given to show the performance of the observer-based tracking controller.     

Robust fuzzy stabilization of dithered chaotic systems using island-based random optimization algorithm

Applying dither to highly nonlinear systems may suppress chaotic phenomena, but dynamic performance, such as convergence rate and disturbance attenuation, is usually not guaranteed. This paper presents a dithered H_∞ robust fuzzy control scheme to stabilize chaotic systems that ensures disturbance attenuation bounds. In the proposed scheme, Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy linear models are used to describe the relaxed models of the dithered chaotic system, and fuzzy controllers are designed based on an extension to the concept of parallel distributed compensation (PDC). Sufficient condition for the existence of the H_∞ robust fuzzy controllers is presented in terms of a novel linear matrix inequalities (LMI) form which takes full consideration of modeling error and disturbances, but cannot be solved by the standard procedures. In order to solve the LMI problem and to identify the chaotic systems as T-S fuzzy modes, we propose a compound optimization strategy called the island-based random-walk algorithm (IRA). The algorithm is composed of a set of communicating random-walk optimization procedures concatenated with the down-hill simplex method. The design procedure and validity of the proposed scheme is demonstrated via numerical simulation of the dithered fuzzy control of a chaotic system.     

H α tracking of uncertain SISO nonlinear systems: an observer-based adaptive fuzzy approach

Observer-based adaptive fuzzy H _∞ control is proposed to achieve H _∞ tracking performance for a class of nonlinear systems, which are subject to model uncertainty and external disturbances and in which only a measurement of the output is available. The control scheme is tested in the cart-pole balancing problem.     

Output tracking control of MIMO fuzzy nonlinear systems using variable structure control approach

The output tracking control problem for nonlinear systems in the presence of both parameter perturbations and external disturbances is studied. Our approach is based on the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modeling method and a variable structure control (VSC) technique. Therefore, the systems considered are not and need not be in the triangular and parametric strict-feedback form, which are prevalent among adaptive model following control for nonlinear systems, or in the normal form, which pervades almost all existing results in neuro-fuzzy model following control approach. We first study the problem of stabilization of T-S fuzzy systems by using a VSC technique. A method for the design of a switching surface based on linear matrix inequalities is developed and a stabilizing controller based on a reaching law concept in the presence of both parameter perturbations and external disturbances is proposed. Then, the method is extended to design controllers for output tracking of T-S fuzzy nonlinear systems in two cases, i.e. systems which possess the so-called strong passive subsystems and strong stable zero dynamics, respectively. Finally, illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the whole design procedure from the original nonlinear systems to their fuzzification and finally to the realization of the desired controllers. Simulation results show that the goal of output tracking can be achieved by the proposed controllers.

Delay-range-dependent robust stabilisation and H ∞ control for nonlinear uncertain stochastic fuzzy systems with mode-dependent time delays and Markovian jump parameters

This article focuses on the problems of robust stabilisation and H _∞ control for nonlinear uncertain stochastic systems with mode-dependent time delay and Markovian jump parameters represented by the Takagi–Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model approach. The system under consideration involves parameter uncertainties, Itô-type stochastic disturbances, Markovian jump parameters and unknown nonlinear disturbances. The purpose is to design a state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is robustly exponentially stable in the mean square and satisfies a prescribed H _∞ performance level. Novel delay-range-dependent conditions in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are derived for the solvability of robust stabilisation and H _∞ control problem. A desired fuzzy controller can be constructed by solving a set solutions of LMIs and can be easily calculated by Matlab LMI control toolbox. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed method.     

A new approach to robust and non-fragile H∞ control for uncertain fuzzy systems

This paper investigates the robust H_∞ control and non-fragile control problems for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with linear fractional parametric uncertainties. The robust H_∞ control problem is to design a state feedback controller such that the robust stability and a prescribed H_∞ performance of the resulting closed-loop system is ensured. And the non-fragile H_∞ control problem is to design a state feedback controller with parameter uncertainties. Based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach, new sufficient conditions for the solvability of the two problems are obtained. It is shown that the desired state feedback fuzzy controller can be constructed by solving a set of LMIs. Numerical examples are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Robust H ∞ networked control for discrete-time fuzzy systems with state quantisation

The problem of robust H _∞ control for uncertain discrete-time Takagi and Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy networked control systems (NCSs) with state quantisation is investigated. A new model of network-based control with simultaneous consideration of network-induced delays and packet dropouts is proposed. By using a fuzzy Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF), we derive a less conservative delay-dependent stability condition for the closed-loop NCSs. Robust H _∞ fuzzy controller is developed for the asymptotical stabilisation of the NCSs. Since it is not expressed as strict LMI conditions, the cone complementary linearisation procedure is exploited to solve the nonconvex feasibility problem. A numerical example shows the feasibility applications of the proposed technique.     

Delay-dependent robust stabilization and H ∞ control for uncertain stochastic T-S fuzzy systems with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays

In this paper, delay-dependent robust stabilization and H∞ control for uncertain stochastic Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with discrete interval and distributed time-varying delays are discussed. The purpose of the robust stochastic stabilization problem is to design a memoryless state feedback controller such that the closed-loop system is mean-square asymptotically stable for all admissible uncertainties. In the robust H∞ control problem, in addition to the mean-square asymptotic stability requirement, a prescribed H∞ performance is required to be achieved. Sufficient conditions for the solvability of these problems are proposed in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) and solving these LMIs, a desired controller can be obtained. Finally, two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and less conservativeness of our results over the existing ones.     

New results on H∞ filtering for fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delays

This paper investigates the problem of H_∞ filtering for continuous Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy systems with an interval time-varying delay in the state. Based on the delay partitioning idea, a new approach is proposed for solving this problem, which can achieve much less conservative feasibility conditions. The attention is focused on the design of an H_∞ filter via the parallel distributed compensation scheme such that the filter error system is asymptotically stable and the H_∞ attenuation level from disturbance to estimation error is below a prescribed scalar. The constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, by applying the delay partitioning method, can potentially guarantee the obtained delay-dependent conditions to be less conservative than those in the literature. The obtained results are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be readily solved via standard numerical software. Finally, an example is illustrated to show the reduction in conservatism of the proposed filter design method.     

Intuitionistic fuzzy Hv-submodules

After the introduction of fuzzy sets by Zadeh, there have been a number of generalizations of this fundamental concept. The notion of intuitionistic fuzzy sets introduced by Atanassov is one among them. In this paper, we apply the concept of an intuitionistic fuzzy set to H_v-modules. The notion of an intuitionistic fuzzy H_v-submodule of an H_v-module is introduced, and some related properties are investigated. Characterizations of intuitionistic fuzzy H_v-submodules are given.     

Bandwidth vs. gains design of H∞ tracking controllers for current-fed induction motors

This paper describes a systematic procedure for designing speed and rotor flux norm tracking H_∞ controllers with unknown load torque disturbances for current-fed induction motors. A new effective design tool is developed to allow selection of the control gains so as to adjust the disturbances’ rejection capability of the controllers in the face of the bandwidth requirements of the closed-loop system. Application of the proposed design procedure is demonstrated in a case study, and the results of numerical simulations illustrate the satisfactory performance achievable even in presence of rotor resistance uncertainty.
