Stability analysis of time-varying systems via parameter-dependent homogeneous Lyapunov functions

This paper considers the stability analysis of linear continuous-time systems, and that the dynamic matrices are affected by uncertain time-varying parameters, which are assumed to be bounded, continuously differentiable, with bounded rates of variation. First, sufficient conditions of stability for time-varying systems are given by the commonly used parameter-dependent quadratic Lyapunov function. Moreover, the use of homogeneous polynomial Lyapunov functions for the stability analysis of the linear system subject to the time-varying parametric uncertainty is introduced. Sufficient conditions to determine the sought after Lyapunov function is derived via a suitable paramenterization of polynomial homogeneous forms. A numerical example is given to illustrate that the stability conditions are less conservative than similar tests in the literature.

Robust H-infinity filtering for time-delaysystems with missing measurements:a parameter-dependent approach

Robust H-infinity filtering for a class of uncertain discrete-time linear systems with time delays and missing measurements is studied in this paper. The uncertain parameters are supposed to reside in a convex polytope and the missing measurements are described by a binary switching sequence satisfying a Bernoulli distribution. Our attention is focused on the analysis and design of robust H-infinity filters such that, for all admissible parameter uncertainties and all possible missing measurements, the filtering error system is exponentially mean-square stable with a prescribed H-infinity disturbance attenuation level. A parameter-dependent approach is proposed to derive a less conservative result. Sufficient conditions are established for the existence of the desired filter in terms of certain linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. When these LMIs are feasible, an explicit expression of the desired filter is also provided. Finally, a numerical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed method.

Parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional for systems with multiple time delays

The separation of the Lyapunov matrices and system matrices plays an important role when one uses parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional handling systems with polytopic type uncertainties. The delay-dependent robust stability problem for systems with polytopic type uncertainties is discussed by using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functional. The derivative term in the derivative of Lyapunov functional is reserved and the free weighting matrices are employed to express the relationship between die terms in the system equation such that the Lyapunov matrices are not involved in any product terms with the system matrices. In addition, the relationships between the terms in the Leibniz Newton formula are also described by some free weighting matrices and some delay-dependent stability conditions are derived. Numerical examples demonstrate that the proposed criteria are more effective than the previous results.

Robust H_∞ directional control for a sampled-data autonomous airship

A robust H∞ directional controller for a sampled-data autonomous airship with polytopic parameter uncertainties was proposed. By input delay approach, the linearized airship model was transformed into a continuous-time system with time-varying delay. Sufficient conditions were then established based on the constructed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, which guarantee that the system is mean-square exponentially stable with H∞ performance. The desired controller can be obtained by solving the obtained conditions. Simulation results show that guaranteed minimum H∞ performance γ=1.4037 and fast response of attitude for sampled-data autonomous airship are achieved in spite of the existence of parameter uncertainties.

Stabilization of a class of nonlinear discrete time systems with time varying delay

The stability and stabilization of a class of nonlinear discrete time delayed systems(NDTDS) with time-varying delay and norm-bounded nonlinearity are investigated. Based on discrete time Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method, a sufficient delaydependent condition for asymptotic stability of nonlinear systems is offered. Then, this condition is used to design a new efficient delayed state feedback controller(DSFC) for stabilization of such systems. These conditions are in the linear matrix inequality(LMI) framework. Illustrative examples confirm the improvement of the proposed approach over the similar cases. Furthermore, the obtained stability and stabilization conditions will be extended to uncertain discrete time delayed systems(UDTDS) with polytopic parameter uncertainties and also with norm-bounded parameter uncertainties.

This study deals with the robust H-infinity filtering for a class of Delta operator systems with polytopic uncertainties. By the aid of introducing two slack matrices to eliminate the coupling between systems matrices and Lya- punov matrices, an improved version of the bounded real lemma is given via linear matrix inequality formulation, which shows a close correspondence between the continuous- and discrete-time H-infinity performance criterion. Based on it, the existence condition of the desired filter is obtained such that the corresponding filtering error system is asymptotically stable with a guaranteed performance index. A numerical example is employed to illustrate the feasibility and advantages of the orooosed design.

Design of mixed H-two/H-infinity optimal control systems using multiobjective differential evolution algorithm

In this paper, the mixed H-two/H-infinity control synthesis problem is stated as a multiobjective opti-mization problem, with objectives of minimizing the H-two and H-infinity norms simultaneously. Instead of building a LMIs-based synthesis algorithm, a self-adaptive control parameter multiobjective differential evolution algorithm is developed directly in the controller parameters space. In the case of systems with polytopic uncertainties, the worst case norm computation is formulated as an implicit optimization problem, and the proposed self-adaptive differential evolution is employed to calculate the worst case H-two and H-infinity norms. The numerical examples illustrate the power and validity of the proposed approach for the mixed H-two/H-infinity control multiobjective optimal design.

Sampling Dependent Stability Results for Aperiodic Sampled-Data Systems

This paper investigates sampling dependent stability for aperiodic sampled-data systems by employing a Lyapunov-like functional that is time-dependent,and not imposed to be definite positive.Based on the system information on the sampling interval wholly rather than partly,a new Lyapunovlike functional is constructed,which extends existing ones by introducing the integral of the system state and the cross terms among this integral and the sampled state.To take advantage of the integral of the system state,integral equations of the sampled-data system are explored when estimating the derivative of the extended functional.By the Lyapunov-like functional theory,a new sampling dependent stability result is obtained for sampled-data systems without uncertainties.Then,the stability result is applied to sampled-data systems with polytopic uncertainties and a robust stability result is derived.At last,numerical examples are given to illustrate that the stability results improve over some existing ones.

IMPROVED ROBUST H-INFINITY ESTIMATION FOR UNCERTAIN CONTINUOUS-TIME SYSTEMS

The design of full-order robust estimators is investigated for continuous-time polytopic uncertain systems. The main purpose is to obtain a stable linear estimator such that the estimation error system remains robustly stable with a prescribed H∞ attenuation level. Firstly, a simple alternative proof is given for an improved LMI representation of H∞ performance proposed recently. Based on the performance criterion which keeps the Lyapunov matrix out of the product of the system dynamic matrices, a sufficient condition for the existence of the robust estimator is provided in terms of linear matrix inequalities. It is shown that the proposed design strategy allows the use of parameterdependent Lyapunov functions and hence it is less conservative than the earlier results. A numerical example is employed to illustrate the feasibility and advantage of the proposed design.
