Improved exponential stability criteria for uncertain neutral system with nonlinear parameter perturbations

This paper investigates the problem of robust exponential stability for neutral systems with time-varying delays and nonlinear perturbations. Based on a novel Lyapunov functional approach and linear matrix inequality technique, a new delay-dependent stability condition is derived. Since the model transformation and bounding techniques for cross terms are avoided, the criteria proposed in this paper are less conservative than some previous approaches by using the free-weighting matrices. One numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.     

Robust active suspension design subject to vehicle inertial parameter variations

This paper presents an approach in designing a robust controller for vehicle suspensions considering changes in vehicle inertial properties. A four-degree-of-freedom half-car model with active suspension is studied in this paper, and three main performance requirements are considered. Among these requirements, the ride comfort performance is optimized by minimizing the H∞ norm of the transfer function from the road disturbance to the sprung mass acceleration, while the road holding performance and the suspension deflection limitation are guaranteed by constraining the generalized H2 (GH2) norms of the transfer functions from the road disturbance to the dynamic tyre load and the suspension deflection to be less than their hard limits, respectively. At the same time, the controller saturation problem is considered by constraining its peak response output to be less than a given limit using the GH2 norm as well. By solving the finite number of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) with the minimization optimization procedure, the controller gains, which are dependent on the time-varying inertial parameters, can be obtained. Numerical simulations on both frequency and bump responses show that the designed parameter-dependent controller can achieve better active suspension performance compared with the passive suspension in spite of the variations of inertial parameters.     

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.

A self-adaptive linear evolutionary algorithm for solving constrained optimization problems

In many real-world applications of evolutionary algorithms, the fitness of an individual requires a quantitative measure. This paper proposes a self-adaptive linear evolutionary algorithm (ALEA) in which we introduce a novel strategy for evaluating individual’s relative strengths and weaknesses. Based on this strategy, searching space of constrained optimization problems with high dimensions for design variables is compressed into two-dimensional performance space in which it is possible to quickly identify ‘good’ individuals of the performance for a multiobjective optimization application, regardless of original space complexity. This is considered as our main contribution. In addition, the proposed new evolutionary algorithm combines two basic operators with modification in reproduction phase, namely, crossover and mutation. Simulation results over a comprehensive set of benchmark functions show that the proposed strategy is feasible and effective, and provides good performance in terms of uniformity and diversity of solutions.     

Robust fault-tolerant controller design for linear time-invariant systems with actuator failures: an indirect adaptive method

In this paper, indirect adaptive state feedback control schemes are developed to solve the robust faulttolerant control (FTC) design problem of actuator fault and perturbation compensations for linear time-invariant systems. A more general and practical model of actuator faults is presented. While both eventual faults on actuators and perturbations are unknown, the adaptive schemes are addressed to estimate the lower and upper bounds of actuator-stuck faults and perturbations online, as well as to estimate control effectiveness on actuators. Thus, on the basis of the information from adaptive schemes, an adaptive robust state feed-back controller is designed to compensate the effects of faults and perturbations automatically. According to Lyapunov stability theory, it is shown that the robust adaptive closed-loop systems can be ensured to be asymptotically stable under the influence of actuator faults and bounded perturbations. An example is provided to further illustrate the fault compensation effectiveness.
