Fault Estimation for a Class of Markov Jump Piecewise-Affine Systems: Current Feedback Based Iterative Learning Approach

In this paper, the issues of stochastic stability analysis and fault estimation are investigated for a class of continuoustime Markov jump piecewise-affine(PWA) systems against actuator and sensor faults. Firstly, a novel mode-dependent PWA iterative learning observer with current feedback is designed to estimate the system states and faults, simultaneously, which contains both the previous iteration information and the current feedback mechanism. The auxiliary feedback channel optimizes the response speed of the observer, therefore the estimation error would converge to zero rapidly. Then, sufficient conditions for stochastic stability with guaranteed performance are demonstrated for the estimation error system, and the equivalence relations between the system information and the estimated information can be established via iterative accumulating representation.Finally, two illustrative examples containing a class of tunnel diode circuit systems are presented to fully demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed iterative learning observer with current feedback.

Robust Stabilization of Discrete-time Constrained Singular Piecewise-affine Systems with Norm-bounded Uncertainties

In this paper,the problem of designing robust H-infinity output feedback controller and l2-gain controller are investigated for a class of discrete-time singular piecewise-affine systems with input saturation and state constraints. Based on a singular piecewise Lyapunov function combined with S-procedure and some matrix inequality convexifying techniques,the H-infinity stabilization condition is established and the l2-gain controller is investigated,and meanwhile,the input saturation disturbance tolerance condition is proposed. Under energy bounded disturbance,the domain of attraction is well estimated and the l2-gain controller is designed in some restricted region. It is shown that the controller gains can be obtained by solving a family of LMIs parameterized by one or two scalar variables. Meanwhile,by using the corresponding optimization methods,the domain of attraction and the disturbance tolerance level is maximized,and the H-infinity performance γ is minimized.Finally,numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods.

Event-based control for piecewise-affine systems subject to actuator saturation

We deal with event-triggered Hoo controller design for discrete-time piecewise-affine systems subject to actuator saturation.By considering saturation information,a novel event-triggered strategy is proposed to conserve communication resources.A linear matrix inequality based condition is derived based on a piecewise Lyapunov function.This condition guarantees the stability of the closed-loop system with a certain Hoo performance index and reduces the number of transmitted signals.Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of our method.
