Robust stability and stabilization of discrete singular systems with interval time-varying delay and linear fractional uncertainty

The robust stability and robust stabilization problems for discrete singular systems with interval time-varying delay and linear fractional uncertainty are discussed. A new delay-dependent criterion is established for the nominal discrete singular delay systems to be regular, causal and stable by employing the linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. It is shown that the newly proposed criterion can provide less conservative results than some existing ones. Then, with this criterion, the problems of robust stability and robust stabilization for uncertain discrete singular delay systems are solved, and the delay-dependent LMI conditions are obtained. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate the e?ectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Memoryless SMC Design Methods for Stochastic Delay Systems

Recently, the sliding mode control (SMC) method has been extended to accommodate stochastic systems. Particularly, restrictive assumption on the structure of the control systems have been removed and a practical SMC design method for stochastic systems has been presented. This paper continues this line of research and studies the SMC methods for stochastic systems with state delay in diffusion. Both delay‐independent and delay‐dependent approaches are investigated. Essentially, this paper studies SMC design methods with memoryless controllers for time delay systems, which has been a problem in the past decades.     

Stability of Impulsive Stochastic Neutral Partial Differential Equations With Infinite Delays

In this paper, we study the existence and asymptotic stability in the pth moment of the mild solutions to impulsive stochastic neutral partial differential equations with infinite delays. Sufficient conditions ensuring the stability of the impulsive stochastic system are established. The results are obtained via the Banach fixed point theorem.     

Input‐to‐state stability of min‐max MPC scheme for nonlinear time‐varying delay systems

This paper studies the robustness problem of the min–max model predictive control (MPC) scheme for constrained nonlinear time‐varying delay systems subject to bounded disturbances. The notion of the input‐to‐state stability (ISS) of nonlinear time‐delay systems is introduced. Then by using the Lyapunov–Krasovskii method, a delay‐dependent sufficient condition is derived to guarantee input‐to‐state practical stability (ISpS) of the closed‐loop system by way of nonlinear matrix inequalities (NLMI). In order to lessen the online computational demand, the non‐convex min‐max optimization problem is then converted to a minimization problem with linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints and a suboptimal MPC algorithm is provided. Finally, an example of a truck‐trailer is used to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

Exponential stabilization of uncertain time‐delay linear systems with Markovian jumping parameters

This paper studies the exponential stabilization problem of uncertain time‐delay linear systems with Markovian jumping parameters. A novel delay decomposition approach is developed to derive delay‐dependent conditions under which the closed‐loop control system is mean square exponentially stable for all admissible uncertainties. It is shown that the feedback gain matrices and the decay rate can be obtained by solving coupled linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, the difficulties arising from searching for tuning parameters in the existing methods are overcome.

Adaptive synchronization of master–slave systems with mixed neutral and discrete time‐delays and nonlinear perturbations

This paper investigates the delay‐dependent adaptive synchronization problem of the master and slave structure of linear systems with both constant neutral and time‐varying discrete time‐delays and nonlinear perturbations based on the Barbalat lemma and matching conditions. An adaption law which includes the master‐slave parameters is obtained by using the Lyapunov functional method and inequality techniques to synchronize the master‐slave systems without the knowledge of upper bounds of perturbation terms. Particularly, it is shown that the synchronization speed can be controlled by adjusting the update gain of the synchronization signal. A numerical example has been given to show the effectiveness of the method. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley and Sons Asia Pte Ltd and Chinese Automatic Control Society     

A new admissibility condition of discrete-time singular systems with time-varying delays

This paper gives a novel delay-dependent admissibility condition of discrete-time singular systems with time-varying delays. For convenience, the time-varying delay is assumed to be the sum of delay lower bound and the integral multiples of a constant delay. Specially, if the constant delay is of unit length, the delay is an interval-like time-varying delay. The proposed admissibility condition is presented and expressed in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) by Lyapunov approach. Generally, the uncertainty of time-varying delay would lead to conservatism. In this paper, this critical issue is tackled by accurately estimating the time-varying delay. Consequently, the proposed admissibility condition is less conservative than the existing results, which is demonstrated by a numerical example.
