Estimating the globally attractive set and positively invariant set of a unified chaotic system

By constructing two suitable generalized Lyapunov functions,we derived a generalized ellipsoidal estimate of the globally attractive set and positively invariant set of the unified chaotic system with the parameters α=1/29 and 1/29<α<2/29,respectively,which extends some related results of Li,et al. [Li DM,Lu JA,Wu XQ,Chen GR,Estimating the global basin of attraction and positively invariant set for the Lorenz system and a unified chaotic system,Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications,2006,323(2): 844-853]. The theoretical results obtained in this paper will find wide application in chaos control and synchronization.

Stabilizing model predictive control scheme for piecewise affine systems with maximal positively invariant terminal set

An efficient algorithm is proposed for computing the solution to the constrained finite time optimal control （CFTOC） problem for discrete-time piecewise affine （PWA） systems with a quadratic performance index. The maximal positively invariant terminal set, which is feasible and invariant with respect to a feedback control law, is computed as terminal target set and an associated Lyapunov function is chosen as terminal cost. The combination of these two components guarantees constraint satisfaction and closed-loop stability for all time. The proposed algorithm combines a dynamic programming strategy with a multi-parametric quadratic programming solver and basic polyhedral manipulation. A numerical example shows that a larger stabilizable set of states can be obtained by the proposed algorithm than precious work.

Hybrid Dynamic Variables-Dependent Event-Triggered Fuzzy Model Predictive Control

This article focuses on dynamic event-triggered mechanism(DETM)-based model predictive control(MPC) for T-S fuzzy systems.A hybrid dynamic variables-dependent DETM is carefully devised,which includes a multiplicative dynamic variable and an additive dynamic variable.The addressed DETM-based fuzzy MPC issue is described as a “min-max” optimization problem(OP).To facilitate the co-design of the MPC controller and the weighting matrix of the DETM,an auxiliary OP is proposed based on a new Lyapunov function and a new robust positive invariant(RPI) set that contain the membership functions and the hybrid dynamic variables.A dynamic event-triggered fuzzy MPC algorithm is developed accordingly,whose recursive feasibility is analysed by employing the RPI set.With the designed controller,the involved fuzzy system is ensured to be asymptotically stable.Two examples show that the new DETM and DETM-based MPC algorithm have the advantages of reducing resource consumption while yielding the anticipated performance.

Asynchronous Observer Design for Switched Linear Systems: A Tube-Based Approach

This paper proposes a tube-based method for the asynchronous observation problem of discrete-time switched linear systems in the presence of amplitude-bounded disturbances.Sufficient stability conditions of the nominal observer error system under mode-dependent persistent dwell-time(MPDT)switching are first established. Taking the disturbances into account, a novel asynchronous MPDT robust positive invariant(RPI) set and an asynchronous MPDT generalized RPI(GRPI)set are determined for the difference system between the nominal and disturbed observer error systems. Further, the global uniform asymptotical stability of the observer error system is established in the sense of converging to the asynchronous MPDT GRPI set, i.e., the cross section of the tube of the observer error system. Finally, the proposed results are validated on a space robot manipulator example.

On the new results of global attractive set and positive invariant set of the Lorenz chaotic system and the applications to chaos control and synchronization

Constructing a family of generalized Lyapunov functions, a new method is proposed to obtain new global attractive set and positive invariant set of the Lorenz chaotic system. The method we proposed greatly simplifies the complex proofs of the two famous estimations presented by the Russian scholar Leonov. Our uniform formula can derive a series of the new estimations. Employing the idea of intersection in set theory, we extract a new Leonov formula-like estimation from the family of the estimations. With our method and the new estimation, one can confirm that there are no equilibrium, periodic solutions, almost periodic motions, wandering motions or other chaotic attractors outside the global attractive set. The Lorenz butterfly-like singular attractors are located in the global attractive set only. This result is applied to the chaos control and chaos synchronization. Some feedback control laws are obtained to guarantee that all the trajectories of the Lorenz systems track a periodic solution, or globally stabilize an unstable (or locally stable but not globally asymptotically stable) equilibrium. Further, some new global exponential chaos synchronization results are presented. Our new method and the new results are expected to be applied in real secure communication systems.

A nonautonomous multispecies competition-predator system with type Ⅱfunctional response is studied in this paper. It is proved that the system is per-manent under some appropriate conditions. Further, if the system is a periodic one, a set of easily verifiable suflficient conditions which guarantee the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of a strictly positive periodic solution are ob-tained.
