Delay-dependent H-infinity control for linear descriptor systems with delay in state

A deky-dependent H-infinity control for descriptor systems with a state-delayis investigated. The purpose of the problem is to design a linear memoryless state-feedbackcontroller such that the resulting closed-loop system is regular, impulse free and stable with anH-infinity norm bound. Firstly, a deky-dependent bounded real lemma(BRL) of the time-deky descriptorsystems is presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) by using a descriptor modeltransformation of the system and by taking a new Lyapunov-Krasovsii functional. The introducedfunctional does not require bounding for cross terms, so it has less conservation. Secondly, withthe help of the obtained bounded real lemma, a sufficient condition for the existence of a newdeky-dependent H-infinity state-feedback controller is shown in terms of nonlinear matrixinequalities and the solvability of the problem can be obtained by using an iterative algorithminvolving convex optimization. Finally, numerical examples are given to demonstrate theeffectiveness of the new method presented.

Robust H-infinity fault-tolerant control for uncertain descriptor systems by dynamical compensators

The problem of robust H-infinity fault-tolerant control against sensor failures for a class of uncertain descriptor systems via dynamical compensators is considered. Based on H-infinity theory in descriptor systems, a sufficient condition for the existence of dynamical compensators with H-infinity fault-tolerant function is derived and expressions for the gain matrices in the compensators are presented. The dynamical compensator guarantees that the resultant colsed-loop system is admissible; furthermore, it maintains certain H-infinity norm performance in the normal condition as well as in the event of sensor failures and parameter uncertainties. A numerical example shows the effect of the proposed method.

Passivity Control for Uncertain T-S Fuzzy Descriptor Systems

By means of matrix decomposition method a criterion is presented for the admissibility of T-S fuzzy descriptor system. Then, the problem of passivity control is studied for a kind of T-S fuzzy descriptor system with uncertain parameters, and sufficient conditions which make the closed-loop system admissible and strictly passive are obtained based on linear matrix inequality (LMI). The nonstrict LMIs restricted conditions which characterize the descriptor system are transformed into strict ones, so testing admissibility and passivity of the system can be finished simultaneously. The design scheme of state feedback controller is also obtained. Finally, a numerical example is given to show the validity and feasibility of the proposed approach.

The existence and uniqueness of the solution to the obtained observer system are guaranteed. Furthermore, under the same LMI condition and a common assumption, a reduced-order observer is designed. Finally, the design methods are reduced to a strict LMI problem and illustrated by a numerical example.

Optimal guaranteed cost control for fuzzy descriptor systems with time-varying delay

Based on the delay-independent rule, the problem of optimal guaranteed cost control for a class of Takagi-Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy descriptor systems with time-varying delay is studied. A linear quadratic cost function is considered as the performance index of the closed-loop system. Sufficient conditions for the existence of guaranteed cost controllers via state feedback are given in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, and the design of an optimal guaranteed cost controller can be reduced to a convex optimization problem. It is shown that the designed controller not only guarantees the asymptotic stability of the closed-loop fuzzy descriptor delay system, but also provides an optimized upper bound of the guaranteed cost. At last, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the perfect performance of the optimal guaranteed cost controller.

Simultaneous stabilization of a class of nonlinear descriptor systems via Hamiltonian function method

This paper studies simultaneous stabilization of a class of nonlinear descriptor systems via the Hamiltonian function method. Firstly, based on the Hamiltonian realization of the nonlinear descriptor systems and a suitable output feedback, two nonlinear descriptor systems are equivalently transformed into two nonlinear Hamiltonian differential-algebraic systems by a nonsingular transformation, and a sufficient condition for two closed-loop systems to be impulse-free is given. The two systems are then combined to generate an augmented dissipative Hamiltonian differential-algebraic system by using the system-augmentation technique, based on which a simultaneous stabilization controller and a robust simultaneous stabilization controller are designed for the two systems. Secondly, the case of more than two nonlinear descriptor systems is investigated, and two new results are proposed for the simultaneous stabilization and robust simultaneous stabilization, respectively. Finally, an illustrative example is studied by using the results proposed in this paper, and simulations show that the simultaneous stabilization controllers obtained in this paper work very well.
