Uniform stability of discrete impulsive systems

This article studies discrete impulsive systems. The uniform stability (uniformly asymptotic stability and quasi-exponential stability) criteria are established for linear discrete impulsive system and a class of nonlinear discrete impulsive systems, respectively. These stability criteria are expressed in terms of fairly simple algebraic conditions so that they are easy to be tested. Moreover, by using the stability criteria, a discrete impulsive synchronization scheme is designed to synchronize two discrete chaotic systems. Finally, some examples are given to illustrate results obtained by us.     

Robust stability of homogeneous large-scale bilinear systems with time delays and uncertainties

This paper addresses the problem of stability analysis for homogeneous large-scale uncertain bilinear time-delay systems subjected to constrained inputs. Both nonlinear uncertainties and interval systems are discussed. Several delay-independent criteria are presented to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the overall systems. The main feature of the presented criteria is that although the Lyapunov stability theorem is used, they do not involve any Lyapunov equations that may be unsolvable. Three illustrative numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed stability criteria.     

Time domain stability concepts for multivariable nonlinear systems

This work presents bounded-input bounded-output and asymptotic stability criteria for multivariable systems with feedback nonlinearity. The approach is in the time domain and relates the nonlinear system's stability properties to certain important linearized system parameters. The stability criteria are particularly applicable to the analysis and design of nonlinear systems via linearization.     

Unified dwell time–based stability and stabilization criteria for switched linear stochastic systems and their application to intermittent control

This paper considers the stability and stabilization problems for the switched linear stochastic systems under dwell time constraints, where the considered systems can be composed of an arbitrary combination of stable and unstable subsystems. First, a time‐varying discretized Lyapunov function is constructed based on the projection of a linear Lagrange interpolant and a switching‐time‐dependent “weighted” function. The “weighted” function not only enforces the Lyapunov function to decrease at switching instants but also coordinates the dynamical behavior of the subsystems. As a result, some unified criteria for mean square stability and almost sure stability of the switched stochastic systems are established in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Based on the obtained stochastic stability criteria, 2 types of state feedback controllers for the systems are designed. Moreover, the novel results are applied to solve the intermittent control or the controller failure problems. Finally, conservatism analysis and numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the established theoretical results.     

依赖延迟线性时滞系统的稳定性判据

由于独立延迟线性时滞（Linear time-delay with independent delays,LTD-ID）系统的稳定条件对系统参数有严格的限制,只有极少数依赖延迟线性时滞（LTD with dependent delays,LTD-DD）系统可满足该稳定条件. LTD-ID 系统的特征多项式属拟多项式,其根为多重延迟的函数,这使得LTD-ID系统的稳定性检验非常困难. 为解决该问题,基于二维域混合多项式,本文提出LTD-DD系统的若干稳定性判据. 应用例表明所提出的稳定性判据是简单的和有效的,所提出的定理4可解决现有LMI稳定性判据的保守性问题.     

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF UNCERTAIN DISCRETE‐TIME SYSTEMS WITH TIME‐VARYING STATE DELAY: A PARAMETER‐DEPENDENT LYAPUNOV FUNCTION APPROACH

This paper presents several new robust stability conditions for linear discrete‐time systems with polytopic parameter uncertainties and time‐varying delay in the state. These stability criteria, derived by defining parameter‐dependent Lyapunov functions, are not only dependent on the maximum and minimum delay bounds, but also dependent on uncertain parameters in the sense that different Lyapunov functions are used for the entire uncertainty domain. It is established, theoretically, that these robust stability criteria for the nominal and constant‐delay case encompass some existing result as their special case. The delay‐dependent and parameter‐dependent nature of these results guarantees the proposed robust stability criteria to be potentially less conservative.

Delay-dependent stability analysis for Markovian jump systems with interval time-varying-delays

This paper proposes improved stochastic stability conditions for Markovian jump systems with interval time-varying delays. In terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), less conservative delay-range-dependent stability conditions for Markovian jump systems are proposed by constructing a different Lyapunov-Krasovskii function. The resulting criteria have advantages over some previous ones in that they involve fewer matrix variables but have less conservatism. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the efficiency and reduced conservatism of the results in this paper.     

New delay range–dependent stability criteria for interval time‐varying delay systems via Wirtinger‐based inequalities

Stability conditions for time‐delay systems using the Lyapunov‐based methodologies are generically expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities. However, due to assuming restrictive conditions in deriving the linear matrix inequalities, the established stability conditions can be strictly conservative. This paper attempts to relax this problem for linear systems with interval time‐varying delays. A double‐integral inequality is derived inspired by Wirtinger‐based single‐integral inequality. Using the advanced integral inequalities, the reciprocally convex combination techniques and necessary slack variables, together with extracting a condition for the positive definiteness of the Lyapunov functional, novel stability criteria, have been established for the system. The effectiveness of the criteria is evaluated via 2 numerical examples. The results indicate that more complex stability criteria not only improve the stability region but also bring computational expenses.     

Dual approach to stability and stabilisation of uncertain switched positive systems

This paper addresses two kinds of dual approaches to stability and stabilisation of uncertain switched positive systems under arbitrary switching and average dwell-time switching, respectively. The uncertainties in systems refer to polytopic ones. A new parameter-dependent switched linear copositive Lyapunov function is first proposed for uncertain switched positive systems. By using the new Lyapunov function associated with arbitrary switching and average dwell-time switching, respectively, sufficient conditions for the stability of the systems are established. Two alternative stability criteria based on two kinds of dual approaches are addressed. It is shown that the alternative criteria hold for not only the primal switched positive system but also its dual system. Then, the stabilisation of primal and dual switched positive systems under arbitrary switching and average dwell-time switching is solved, respectively. All present conditions are solvable in terms of linear programming. By some comparisons with existing results, the less conservativeness of the obtained results is verified. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the theoretical findings.     

Stability analysis and synthesis for linear impulsive stochastic systems

This paper presents a general framework for analyzing stability of linear impulsive stochastic systems (LISSs). Some simple mean square stability criteria for the three types of LISSs are firstly derived by analyzing an equivalent system. By exploring the hybrid characteristics of impulsive systems, the novel quasi‐periodic composite polynomial Lyapunov function and the time‐varying discretized Lyapunov function are developed, which leads to unified dwell‐time–based criteria for mean square stability and almost sure stability of LISSs without imposing the stability condition on continuous‐ and discrete‐time dynamics. Next, based on the established stability criteria, the synthesis problem of state‐feedback controller is solved. The computational complexity and the comparison with existing results on the deterministic systems are discussed. Finally, numerical examples are provided to illustrate the usefulness of the proposed results.     

Easily testable necessary and sufficient algebraic criteria for delay-independent stability of a class of neutral differential systems

This paper analyzes the eigenvalue distribution of neutral differential systems and the corresponding difference systems, and establishes the relationship between the eigenvalue distribution and delay-independent stability of neutral differential systems. By using the “Complete Discrimination System for Polynomials”, easily testable necessary and sufficient algebraic criteria for delay-independent stability of a class of neutral differential systems are established. The algebraic criteria generalize and unify the relevant results in the literature. Moreover, the maximal delay bound guaranteeing stability can be determined if the systems are not delay-independent stable. Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

Generalization of Hurwitz, Nyquist, and Mikhailov stability criteria

This paper presents a generalization of Hurwitz, Nyquist, and Mikhailov stability criteria for investigations of relative stability of linear-feedback systems. The generalization utilizes the Chebyshev functions, which greatly simplify the analysis procedure and make it convenient for computer applications. The use of the generalized stability criteria is illustrated by examples.     

Bessel summation inequalities for stability analysis of discrete‐time systems with time‐varying delays

This paper is concerned with the stability analysis problems of discrete‐time systems with time‐varying delays using summation inequalities. In the literature focusing on the Lyapunov‐Krasovskii approach, the Jensen integral/summation inequalities have played important roles to develop less conservative stability criteria and thus have been widely studied. Recently, the Jensen integral inequality was successfully generalized to the Bessel‐Legendre inequalities constructed with arbitrary‐order Legendre polynomials. It was also shown that general inequality contributes to the less conservatism of stability criteria. In the case of discrete‐time systems, however, the Jensen summation inequality are hardly extensible to general ones since there have still not been general discrete orthogonal polynomials applicable to the developments of summation inequalities. Motivated by such observations, this paper proposes novel discrete orthogonal polynomials and then successfully derives general summation inequalities. The resulting summation inequalities are discrete‐time counterparts of the Bessel‐Legendre inequalities but are not based on the discrete Legendre polynomials. By developing hierarchical stability criteria based on the proposed summation inequalities, the effectiveness of the proposed approaches is demonstrated via three numerical examples for the stability analysis of discrete‐time systems with time‐varying delays.     

Improved stability conditions for uncertain neutral-type systems with time-varying delays

This paper investigates the robust stability problem for a class of uncertain neutral-type delayed systems. The systems under consideration contain parameter uncertainties and time-varying delays. We aim at designing less conservative robust stability criteria for such systems. A new second-order reciprocally convex inequality is first proposed in order to deal with double integral terms. Then, by constructing a new Lyapunov– Krasovskii functional and employing the improved Wirtinger-based integral inequality and the reciprocally convex combination approaches, novel stability criteria are obtained. Moreover, the stability conditions for standard time-delay system are obtained as by-product results. Comparisons in three numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of our results.     

Stability analysis for linear delayed systems via an optimally dividing delay interval approach

This paper addresses the problem of stability for linear systems with time-varying delay. A novel augmented Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional is constructed by using the idea of optimally dividing the delay interval [0,τ(t)] into some variable sub-intervals and line integral technology. Using the novel augmented functional, the new delay-dependent stability criteria are proposed for linear systems with time-varying delay. The gain is that this stability criterion can lead to much less conservative stability results compared to other methods for linear systems with delay. Two numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed criteria.

This technique systematically provides sufficient stability and asymptotic stability conditions for such systems, Several criteria regarding the stability of linear systems with time-varying coefficients are developed. A few examples illustrating the procedure are discussed. These examples include a system governed by the Mathieu equation, and a parametrically excited multidegree-of-freedom system.
