Abstract: | ABSTRACTIn this paper, we discuss a new problem of static output feedback controllers design for positive systems with delayed output measurements. When delayed output measurements are exclusively used as feedback control signals, previous control design methods for positive systems relying on the so-called delay-independent positivity and stability conditions are unable to synthesise a stable static output feedback controller for positive systems. A new method based on delay-dependent positivity and stability conditions is proposed in this paper to tackle this issue. We show that the synthesis of static output feedback controllers for positive systems under the effect of delayed output measurements is feasible under the newly proposed design method. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new result. |
