Construction of Control Lyapunov Functions for a Class of Nonlinear Systems

The construction of control Lyapunov functions for a class of nonlinear systems is considered. We develop a method by which a control Lyapunov function for the feedback linearizable part can be constructed systematically via Lyapunov equation. Moreover, by a control Lyapunov function of the feedback linearizable part and a Lyapunov function of the zero dynamics, a control Lyapunov function for the overall nonlinear system is established.

A simulation example shows the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Stability analysis for affine fuzzy system based on fuzzy Lyapunov functions

An analysis method based on the fuzzy Lyapunov functions is presented to analyze the stability of the continuous affine fuzzy systems. First, a method is introduced to deal with the consequent part of the fuzzy local model. Thus, the stability analysis method of the homogeneous fuzzy system can be used for reference. Stability conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities based on the fuzzy Lyapunov functions and the modified common Lyapunov functions, respectively. The results demonstrate that the stability result based on the fuzzy Lyapunov functions is less conservative than that based on the modified common Lyapunov functions via numerical examples. Compared with the method which does not expand the consequent part, the proposed method is simpler but its feasible region is reduced. Finally, in order to expand the application of the fuzzy Lyapunov functions, the piecewise fuzzy Lyapunov function is proposed, which can be used to analyze the stability for triangular or trapezoidal membership functions and obtain the stability conditions. A numerical example validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

This paper investigates the chaos synchronisation between two coupled chaotic Chua＇s circuits. The sufficient condition presented by linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） of global asymptotic synchronisation is attained based on piecewise quadratic Lyapunov functions. First, we obtain the piecewise linear differential inclusions （pwLDIs） model of synchronisation error dynamics, then we design a switching （piecewise-linear） feedback control law to stabilise it based on the piecewise quadratic Laypunov functions. Then we give some numerical simulations to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Robust L_2-L_∞ filtering with pole constraint in a disk via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions

Addresses the design problems of robust L2-L∞ filters with pole constraint in a disk for uncertain continuous-time linear systems. The uncertain parameters are assumed to belong to convex bounded domains. The aim is to determine a stable linear filter such that the filtering error system possesses a prescribed L2-L∞ noise attenuation level and expected poles location. The filtering strategies are based on parameter-dependent Lyapunov stability results to derive new robust L2-L∞ performance criteria and the regional pole placement conditions. From the proposed multi-objective performance criteria, we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of robust L2-L∞ filters with pole constraint in a disk, and cast the filter design into a convex optimization problem subject to a set of linear matrix inequality constraints. This filtering method exhibits less conservativeness than previous results in the quadratic framework. The advantages of the filter design procedures are demonstrated by means of numerical examples.

Robust D-stability LMI conditions of matrix polytopes via affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions

The problem of the robust D-stability analysis for linear systems with parametric uncertainties is addressed. For matrix polytopes, new conditions via the affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov function of uncertain systems are developed with the benefit of the scalar multi-convex function. To be convenient for applications, such conditions are simplified into new linear matrix inequality （LMI） conditions, which can be solved by the powerful LMI toolbox. Numerical examples are provided to indicate that this new approach is less conservative than previous results for Hurwitz stability, Schur stability and D-stability of uncertain systems under certain circumstances.

Robust L_1 filtering with pole constraint in a disk via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions

The problem of robust L 1 filtering with pole constraint in a disk for linear continuous polytopic uncertain systems is discussed. The attention is focused on design a linear asymptotically stable filter such that the filtering error system remains robustly stable, and has a L 1 performance constraint and pole constraint in a disk. The new robust L 1 performance criteria and regional pole placement condition are obtained via parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions method. Upon the proposed multiobjective performance criteria and by means of LMI technique, both full-order and reduced-order robust L 1 filter with suitable dynamic behavior can be obtained from the solution of convex optimization problems. Compared with earlier result in the quadratic framework, this approach turns out to be less conservative. The efficiency of the proposed technique is demonstrated by a numerical example.

Relaxed delay-dependent stabilization criteria for discrete-time fuzzy systems based on a switching fuzzy model and piecewise Lyapunov functions

This paper presents delay-dependent stability analysis and controller synthesis methods for discrete-time Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy systems with time delays. The T-S fuzzy system is transformed to an equivalent switching fuzzy system. Consequently, the delay-dependent stabilization criteria are derived for the switching fuzzy system based on the piecewise Lyapunov function. The proposed conditions are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. The interactions among the fuzzy subsystems are considered in each subregion, and accordingly the proposed conditions are less conservative than the previous results. Since only a set of LMIs is involved, the controller design is quite simple and numerically tractable. Finally, a design example is given to show the validity of the proposed method.

T-S Fuzzy Stochastic Bilinear Model and Fuzzy Controller Design Based on Switching Piecewise Lyapunov Functions

Based on a piecewise quadratic lyapunov function （PQLF）, this paper presents stochastic stability analysis and synthesis methods for ItO and discrete T-S fuzzy bilinear stochastic systems. Two improved stochastic stability conditions have been established in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. It is shown that the stability in the mean square for T-S fuzzy bilinear stochastic systems can be established if a PQLF can be constructed. Considering the established stability criterion, the controller can be designed by solving a set of （LMIs）, and the closed loop system is asymptotically stable in the mean square. Two illustrative examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the results proposed in this paper.

This paper deals with H-infinity filtering of discrete-time systems with polytopic uncertainties. The un- certain parameters are supposed to reside in a polytope. By using the parameter-dependent Lyapunov function approach and introducing some slack matrix variables, a new sufficient condition for the H-infinity filter design is presented in terms of solutions to a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. In contrast to the existing results for H-infinity filter design, the main advantage of the proposed design method is the reduced conservativeness. An example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A Survey on the Control Lyapunov Function and Control Barrier Function for Nonlinear-Affine Control Systems

This survey provides a brief overview on the control Lyapunov function(CLF)and control barrier function(CBF)for general nonlinear-affine control systems.The problem of control is formulated as an optimization problem where the optimal control policy is derived by solving a constrained quadratic programming(QP)problem.The CLF and CBF respectively characterize the stability objective and the safety objective for the nonlinear control systems.These objectives imply important properties including controllability,convergence,and robustness of control problems.Under this framework,optimal control corresponds to the minimal solution to a constrained QP problem.When uncertainties are explicitly considered,the setting of the CLF and CBF is proposed to study the input-to-state stability and input-to-state safety and to analyze the effect of disturbances.The recent theoretic progress and novel applications of CLF and CBF are systematically reviewed and discussed in this paper.Finally,we provide research directions that are significant for the advance of knowledge in this area.

Adaptive Barrier-Lyapunov-Functions Based Control Scheme of Nonlinear Pure-Feedback Systems with Full State Constraints and Asymptotic Tracking Performance

In this paper,the authors propose an adaptive Barrier-Lyapunov-Functions(BLFs)based control scheme for nonlinear pure-feedback systems with full state constraints.Due to the coexist of the non-affine structure and full state constraints,it is very difficult to construct a desired controller for the considered system.According to the mean value theorem,the authors transform the pure-feedback system into a system with strict-feedback structure,so that the well-known backstepping method can be applied.Then,in the backstepping design process,the BLFs are employed to avoid the violation of the state constraints,and neural networks(NNs)are directly used to online approximate the unknown packaged nonlinear terms.The presented controller ensures that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking error asymptotically converges to zero.Meanwhile,it is shown that the constraint requirement on the system will not be violated during the operation.Finally,two simulation examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Robust admissibility analysis of uncertain switched singular systems:a switched Lyapunov function approach

The robust admissibility analysis of a class of uncertain discrete-time switched linear singular（SLS） systems for arbitrary switching laws is addressed. The parameter uncertainty is assumed to be norm-bounded. First, by using the switched Lyapunov function approach, some new sufficient conditions ensuring the nominal discrete-time SLS system to be regular, casual and asymptotically stable for arbitrary switching laws are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. Then, the robust admissibility condition for the uncertain discrete-time SLS systems is presented. The obtained results can be viewed as an extension of previous works on the switched Lyapunov function approach from the regular switched linear systems to the switched linear singular cases. Numerical examples show the reduced conservatism and effectiveness of the proposed conditions.

Modelling Foot and Mouth Disease in the Context of Active Immigrants

This study employs mathematical modeling to analyze the impact of active immigrants on Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) transmission dynamics. We calculate the reproduction number (R0) using the next-generation matrix approach. Applying the Routh-Hurwitz Criterion, we establish that the Disease-Free Equilibrium (DFE) point achieves local asymptotic stability when R0 α1 and α2) are closely associated with reduced susceptibility in animal populations, underscoring the link between immigrants and susceptibility. Furthermore, our findings emphasize the interplay of disease introduction with population response and adaptation, particularly involving incoming infectious immigrants. Swift interventions are vital due to the limited potential for disease establishment and rapid susceptibility decline. This study offers crucial insights into the complexities of FMD transmission with active immigrants, informing effective disease management strategies.
