Fixed-Time Stabilization of a Class of Strict-Feedback Nonlinear Systems via Dynamic Gain Feedback Control

This paper presents a novel fixed-time stabilization control(FSC)method for a class of strict-feedback nonlinear systems involving unmodelled system dynamics.The key feature of the proposed method is the design of two dynamic parameters.Specifically,a set of auxiliary variables is first introduced through state transformation.These variables combine the original system states and the two introduced dynamic parameters,facilitating the closed-loop system stability analyses.Then,the two dynamic parameters are delicately designed by utilizing the Lyapunov method,ensuring that all the closed-loop system states are globally fixed-time stable.Compared with existing results,the“explosion of complexity”problem of backstepping control is avoided.Moreover,the two designed dynamic parameters are dependent on system states rather than a time-varying function,thus the proposed controller is still valid beyond the given fixedtime convergence instant.The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through two practical systems.

Sampled-Data H_(∞)Dynamic Output Feedback Controller Design for Fuzzy Markovian Jump Systems

This paper considers the issue of H_(∞)dynamic output feedback controller design for T-S fuzzy Markovian jump systems under time-varying sampling with known upper bound on the sampling intervals.The main aim is to realize sampled-data fuzzy dynamic output feedback control so as to demonstrate the stochastic stability and H_(∞)performance index of the closed-loop sampled-data fuzzy Markovian jump systems.Then,by making the most of the information within the sampling interval,a suitable closed-loop function is constructed and the integral terms are handled by using free weighted matrix method and improved integral inequality technique.Numerical example and single-link robot arm are presented to show the effectiveness of the developed method.

Research on Dynamic Model's Building of Active Magnetic Suspension Systems

An experimental method is introduced in this paper to build the dynamics of AMSS (the active magnetic suspension system), which doesn’t depend on system’s physical parameters. The rotor can be reliably suspended under the unit feedback control system designed with the primary dynamic model obtained. Online identification in frequency domain is processed to give the precise model. Comparisons show that the experimental method is much closer to the precise model than the theoretic method based on magnetic circuit law. So this experimental method is a good choice to build the primary dynamic model of AMSS.

Robust H_∞ control for neutral stochastic uncertain systems with time-varying delay

The problem of robust H_∞ control for uncertain neutral stochastic systems with time-varying delay is discussed.The parameter uncertaintie is assumed to be time varying norm-bounded.First,the stochastic robust stabilization of the stochastic system without disturbance input is investigated by nonlinear matrix inequality method.Then,a full-order stochastic dynamic output feedback controller is designed by solving a bilinear matrix inequality（BMI）,which ensures a prescribed stochastic robust H_∞ performance level for the resulting closed-loop system with nonzero disturbance input and for all admissible uncertainties.An illustrative example is provided to show the feasibility of the controller and the potential of the proposed technique.

Exponential stability of a pendulum in dynamic boundary feedback with a viscous damped wave equation

In this paper,we continue the earlier work[Lu,L,&Wang,D.L.(2017).Dynamic boundary feed-back of a pendulum coupled with a viscous damped wave equation.In Proceedings of the 36th Chinese Control Conference(CCQ)(pp.1676-1680)]on study the stability of a pendulum coupled with a viscous damped wave equation model.This time we get the exponential stability result which is much better than the previous strong stability.By a detailed spectral analysis and opera-tor separation,we establish the Riesz basis property as well as the spectrum determined growth condition for the system.Finally,the exponential stability of the system is achieved.
