Exponential stabilization of networked control systems and design of switching controller

This paper deals with the problem of switching between an open-loop estimator and a close-loop estimator for compensating transmission error and packet dropout of networked control systems. Switching impulse is considered in order to reduce the error between theory and application, a sufficient condition for exponential stabilization of networked control systems under a given switching rule is presented by multiple Lyapunov-like functions. These results are presented for both continuous-time and discrete-time domains. Controllers are designed by means of linear matrix inequalities. Sim- ulation results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed method.

Exponential stabilization of distributed parameter switched systems under dwell time constraints

The exponential stabilization problem for finite dimensional switched systems is extended to the infinite dimensional distributed parameter systems in the Hilbert space. Based on the semigroup theory, by applying the multiple Lyapunov function method, the exponential stabilization conditions are derived. These conditions are given in the form of linear operator inequalities where the decision variables are operators in the Hilbert space; while the stabilization properties depend on the switching rule. Being applied to the two-dimensional heat switched propagation equations with the Dirichlet boundary conditions, these linear operator inequalities are transformed into standard linear matrix inequalities. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

BOUNDEDNESS AND EXPONENTIAL STABILIZATION IN A PARABOLIC-ELLIPTIC KELLER–SEGEL MODEL WITH SIGNAL-DEPENDENT MOTILITIES FOR LOCAL SENSING CHEMOTAXIS

In this paper we consider the initial Neumann boundary value problem for a degenerate Keller-Segel model which features a signal-dependent non-increasing motility function.The main obstacle of analysis comes from the possible degeneracy when the signal concentration becomes unbounded.In the current work,we are interested in the boundedness and exponential stability of the classical solution in higher dimensions.With the aid of a Lyapunov functional and a delicate Alikakos-Moser type iteration,we are able to establish a time-independent upper bound of the concentration provided that the motility function decreases algebraically.Then we further prove the uniform-in-time boundedness of the solution by constructing an estimation involving a weighted energy.Finally,thanks to the Lyapunov functional again,we prove the exponential stabilization toward the spatially homogeneous steady states.Our boundedness result improves those in[1]and the exponential stabilization is obtained for the first time.

Exponential Set-Point Stabilization of Underactuated Vehicles Moving in Three-Dimensional Space

This paper investigates the stabilization of underactuated vehicles moving in a three-dimensional vector space.The vehicle’s model is established on the matrix Lie group SE(3),which describes the configuration of rigid bodies globally and uniquely.We focus on the kinematic model of the underactuated vehicle,which features an underactuation form that has no sway and heave velocity.To compensate for the lack of these two velocities,we construct additional rotation matrices to generate a motion of rotation coupled with translation.Then,the state feedback is designed with the help of the logarithmic map,and we prove that the proposed control law can exponentially stabilize the underactuated vehicle to the identity group element with an almost global domain of attraction.Later,the presented control strategy is extended to set-point stabilization in the sense that the underactuated vehicle can be stabilized to an arbitrary desired configuration specified in advance.Finally,simulation examples are provided to verify the effectiveness of the stabilization controller.

Delay-dependent robust exponential stabilization for uncertain systems with interval time-varying delays

New robust exponential stabilization criteria for interval time-varying delay systems with norm-bounded uncertainties are proposed. Based on the free-weighting matrices and new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals, such criteria are obtained by dealing with system model directly and designing memoryless state feedback controllers and expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. Moreover, the criteria are applicable to the case whether the derivative of the time-varying delay is bounded or not. The state decay rate is estimated by the corresponding LMIs. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Exponential stability criteria on neural networks with continuously distributed delays

The exponential stability of a class of neural networks with continuously distributed delays is investigated by employing a novel Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. Through introducing some free-weighting matrices and the equivalent descriptor form, a delay-dependent stability criterion is established for the addressed systems. The condition is expressed in terms of a linear matrix inequality （LMI）, and it can be checked by resorting to the LMI in the Matlab toolbox. In addition, the proposed stability criteria do not require the monotonicity of the activation functions and the derivative of a time-varying delay being less than 1, which generalize and improve earlier methods. Finally, numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the obtained methods.

Finally, this paper is summarized.

This paper will investigate global exponential stability analysis for a class of switched positive nonlinear systems under minimum dwell time switching, whose nonlinear functions for each subsystem are constrained in a sector field by two odd symmetric piecewise linear functions and whose system matrices for each subsystem are Metzler. A class of multiple time-varying Lyapunov functions is constructed to obtain the computable sufficient conditions on the stability of such switched nonlinear systems within the framework of minimum dwell time switching.All present conditions can be solved by linear/nonlinear programming techniques. An example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed result.

Exponential stability of impulsive jump linear systems with Markov process

The exponential stability is investigated for a class of continuous time linear systems with a finite state Markov chain form process and the impulsive jump at switching moments. The conditions, based on the average dwell time and the ratio of expectation of the total time running on all unstable subsystems to the expectation of the total time running on all stable subsystems,assure the exponential stability with a desired stability degree of the system irrespective of the impact of impulsive jump. The uniformly bounded result is realized for the case in which switched system is subjected to the impulsive effect of the excitation signal at some switching moments.
