Analysis and Design of Time-Delay Impulsive Systems Subject to Actuator Saturation

This paper investigates the exponential stability and performance analysis of nonlinear time-delay impulsive systems subject to actuator saturation. When continuous dynamics is unstable, under some conditions, it is shown that the system can be stabilized by a class of saturated delayed-impulses regardless of the length of input delays. Conversely, when the system is originally stable, it is shown that under some conditions, the system is robust with respect to sufficient small delayed-impulses. Moreover, the design problem of the controller with the goal of obtaining a maximized estimate of the domain of attraction is formulated via a convex optimization problem. Three examples are provided to demonstrate the validity of the main results.

Finally, some examples are given to illustrate the applications of the theory.

Robust reliable control for a class of time-varying uncertain impulsive systems

The problem of robust and reliable control design for linear uncertain impulsive systems with both timevarying norm-bounded parameter uncertainty and actuator failures was studied. The actuators are classified into two groups. One set of actuators susceptible to failures is possible to fail, the other set of actuators robust to failures is assumed never to fail. The outputs of the actuator failures are regarded as zero. The purpose is to design the state feedback controller such that, for all admissible uncertainties as well as actuator failures occurring among a prespecified subset of actuators, the plant remains asymptotically stable. A modified algebraic Riccati equation approach was developed to solve the problem addressed and a robust reliable control law was obtained. An numerical example was also offered to prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Periodic solutions and flip bifurcation in a linear impulsive system

In this paper, the dynamical behaviour of a linear impulsive system is discussed both theoretically and numerically. The existence and the stability of period-one solution are discussed by using a discrete map. The conditions of existence for flip bifurcation are derived by using the centre manifold theorem and bifurcation theorem. The bifurcation analysis shows that chaotic solutions appear via a cascade of period-doubling in some interval of parameters. Moreover, the periodic solutions, the bifurcation diagram, and the chaotic attractor, which show their consistence with the theoretical analyses, are given in an example.

Robust H_∞ filtering for discrete-time impulsive systems with uncertainty

This paper investigates robust filter design for linear discrete-time impulsive systems with uncertainty under H∞ performance. First, an impulsive linear filter and a robust H∞ filtering problem are introduced for a discrete-time impulsive systems.

The filter gains can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. Finally, a numerical example is presented to show effectiveness of the obtained result.

Input-to-State Stabilization of Nonlinear Impulsive Delayed Systems: An Observer-Based Control Approach

This paper addresses the problems of input-to-state stabilization and integral input-to-state stabilization for a class of nonlinear impulsive delayed systems subject to exogenous dis-turbances.Since the information of plant’s states,time delays,and exogenous disturbances is often hard to be obtained,the key design challenge,which we resolve,is the construction of a state observer-based controller.For this purpose,we firstly propose a corresponding observer which is independent of time delays and exogenous disturbances to reconstruct(or estimate)the plant’s states.And then based on the observations,we establish an observer-based control design for the plant to achieve the input-to-state stability(ISS)and integral-ISS(iISS)properties.With the help of the comparison principle and average impulse interval approach,some sufficient conditions are presented,and moreover,two different linear matrix inequalities(LMIs)based criteria are proposed to design the gain matrices.Finally,two numerical examples and their simulations are given to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.

Study on Robust Uniform Asymptotical Stability for Uncertain Linear Impulsive Delay Systems

In the area of control theory the time-delay systems have been investigated. It's well known that delays often result in instability, therefore, stability analysis of time-delay systems is an important subject in control theory. As a result, many criteria for testing the stability of linear time-delay systems have been proposed. Significant progress has been made in the theory of impulsive systems and impulsive delay systems in recent years. However, the corresponding theory for uncertain impulsive systems and uncertain impulsive delay systems has not been fully developed. In this paper, robust stability criteria are established for uncertain linear delay impulsive systems by using Lyapunov function, Razumikhin techniques and the results obtained. Some examples are given to illustrate our theory.

Optimal control of a nonlinear state-dependent impulsive system in fed-batch process

Optimal control technique is crucial to improve the yield of microbial fermentation production.In this paper,we propose a nonlinear control system with state-dependent impulses,where the impulsive volume of feeding glycerol and the critical concentration of glycerol for occurring impulse are the control variables,to formulate 1,3-propanediol(1,3-PD)fed-batch production process.We also discuss a quantity of important properties for this control system.Then,we analyze the sensitivity of system state with respect to the kinetic parameters.We further propose a constrained optimal control model governed by the control system with state-dependent impulses.The existence of the optimal impulsive controls is established.For solving this problem,we utilize an exact penalty method to transform the problem into an optimization problem with only box constraints.Moreover,an improved differential evolution method is developed to seek the optimal impulsive strategy.Finally,numerical simulation results demonstrate that,by using the optimal impulsive strategies,final 1,3-PD concentration is considerably increased under the nominal parameter values and disturbances of kinetic parameters have significant effects on the optimal final 1,3-PD yield.

Finite-time stability and stabilization of Markovian switching stochastic systems with impulsive effects

Many practical systems in physics, biology, engineer- ing and information science exhibit impulsive dynamical behaviors due to abrupt changes at certain instants during the dynami- cal processes. The problems of finite-time stab!lity analysis are investigated for a class of Markovian switching stochastic sys- tems, in which exist impulses at the switching instants. Multiple Lyapunov techniques are used to derive sufficient conditions for finite-time stochastic stability of the overall system. Furthermore, a state feedback controller, which stabilizes the closed loop sys- tems in the finite-time sense, is then addressed. Moreover, the controller appears not only in the shift part but also in the diffu- sion part of the underlying stochastic subsystem. The results are reduced to feasibility problems involving linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed methodology.

Finite-Time Stability and Instability of Nonlinear Impulsive Systems

In this paper,the finite-time stability and instability are studied for nonlinear impulsive systems.There are mainly four concerns.1)For the system with stabilizing impulses,a Lyapunov theorem on global finite-time stability is presented.2)When the system without impulsive effects is globally finite-time stable(GFTS)and the settling time is continuous at the origin,it is proved that it is still GFTS over any class of impulse sequences,if the mixed impulsive jumps satisfy some mild conditions.3)For systems with destabilizing impulses,it is shown that to be finite-time stable,the destabilizing impulses should not occur too frequently,otherwise,the origin of the impulsive system is finite-time instable,which are formulated by average dwell time(ADT)conditions respectively.4)A theorem on finite-time instability is provided for system with stabilizing impulses.For each GFTS theorem of impulsive systems considered in this paper,the upper boundedness of settling time is given,which depends on the initial value and impulsive effects.Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical analysis.

Secure Impulsive Synchronization in Lipschitz-Type Multi-Agent Systems Subject to Deception Attacks

Cyber attacks pose severe threats on synchronization of multi-agent systems.Deception attack,as a typical type of cyber attack,can bypass the surveillance of the attack detection mechanism silently,resulting in a heavy loss.Therefore,the problem of mean-square bounded synchronization in multi-agent systems subject to deception attacks is investigated in this paper.The control signals can be replaced with false data from controllerto-actuator channels or the controller.The success of the attack is measured through a stochastic variable.A distributed impulsive controller using a pinning strategy is redesigned,which ensures that mean-square bounded synchronization is achieved in the presence of deception attacks.Some sufficient conditions are derived,in which upper bounds of the synchronization error are given.Finally,two numerical simulations with symmetric and asymmetric network topologies are given to illustrate the theoretical results.

Impulsive control for synchronization of nonlinear Rossler chaotic systems

This paper reports that an impulsive control theory for synchronization of nonlinear Rossler chaotic systems is developed. A new framework for impulsive synchronization between such chaotic systems is presented, which makes the synchronization error system a linear impulsive control system. Therefore, it is easy to derive the impulsive synchronizution law. The proposed impulsive control scheme is illustrated by nonlinear Rossler chaotic systems and the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

Impulsive control of chaotic systems and its applications in synchronization

In this paper, some novel sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of impulsive control systems are presented by comparison systems. The results are used to obtain the conditions under which the chaotic systems can be asymptotically controlled to the origin via impulsive control. Compared with some existing results, our results are more relaxed in the sense that the Lyapunov function is required to be nonincreasing only along a subsequence of switchings. Moreover, a larger upper bound of impulsive intervals for stabilization and synchronization is obtained.
