Robust stability and stabilization for uncertain discrete-time switched singular systems with time-varying delays

The problems of robust stability and stabilization via memoryless state feedback for a class of discrete-time switched singular systems with time-varying delays and linear fractional uncertainties are investigated.By constructing a novel switched Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional,a delay-dependent criterion for the unforced system to be regular,causal and uniformly asymptotically stable is established in terms of linear matrix inequalities（LMIs）.An explicit expression for the desired memoryless state feedback stabilization controller is also given.The merits of the proposed criteria lie in their less conservativeness and relative simplicity,which are achieved by considering additionally useful terms（ignored in previous methods） when estimating the upper bound of the forward difference of the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and by avoiding utilizing any model augmentation transformation.Some numerical examples are provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed methods.

Delay-dependent stability and stabilization of a class of linear switched time-varying delay systems

The stability and stabilization of a class of linear switched time-varying delay systems are investigated. A piecewise quadratic Lyapunov function （PWQLF） is constructed and is used to obtain the stability conditions based on the linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. The stabilizing controller for this class of system is then designed and the solution of the desired controller can be obtained by a cone complementary linearization algorithm. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the less conservativeness of the new stability and the validity of the controller design procedures.

Improved Results on Robust H_∞ Control of Uncertain Discrete-time Systems with Time-varying Delay

In this paper, the robust H∞ control problem for uncertain discrete-time systems with time-varying state delay is con- sidered. Based on the Lyapunov functional method, and by resorting to the new technique for estimating the upper bound of the difference of the Lyapunov functional, a new less conservative sufficient condition for the existence of a robust H∞ controller is obtained. Moreover, the cone complementary linearisation procedure is employed to solve the nonconvex feasibility problem. Finally, several numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness and less conservativeness of the proposed method.

Delay-dependent robust H-infinity control for discrete-time uncertain systems with time-varying state delays

This paper examines the delay-dependent H-infinity control problem for discrete-time linear systems with time-varying state delays and norm-bounded uncertainties. A new inequality for the finite sum of quadratic terms is first established. Then, some new delay-dependent criteria are derived by employing the new inequality to guarantee the robust stability of a closed-loop system with a prescribed H-infinity norm bound for all admissible uncertainties and bounded time-vary delays. A numerical example demonstrates that the proposed method is an improvement over existing ones.

Delay-dependent Criteria for Robust Stability of Uncertain Switched Hopfield Neural Networks

This paper deals with the problem of delay-dependent robust stability for a class of switched Hopfield neural networks with time-varying structured uncertainties and time-varying delay. Some Lyapunov-KrasoVskii functionals are constructed and the linear matrix inequality （LMI） approach and free weighting matrix method are employed to devise some delay-dependent stability criteria which guarantee the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point for all admissible parametric uncertainties. By using Leibniz-Newton formula, free weighting matrices are employed to express this relationship, which implies that the new criteria are less conservative than existing ones. Some examples suggest that the proposed criteria are effective and are an improvement over previous ones.

Robust stability analysis of switched uncertain systems with multiple time-varying delays and actuator failures

In this paper,the robust stability issue of switched uncertain multidelay systems resulting from actuator failures is considered.Based on the average dwell time approach,a set of suitable switching signals is designed by using the total activation time ratio between the stable subsystem and the unstable one.It is first proven that the resulting closed-loop system is robustly exponentially stable for some allowable upper bound of delays if the nominal system with zero delay is exponentially stable under these switching laws.Particularly,the maximal upper bound of delays can be obtained from the linear matrix inequalities.At last,the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation example.

New results on robust H-infinity control for discrete-time systems with interval time-varying delays

This paper deals with delay-dependent robust H-infinity control for uncertain discrete-time systems with interval time-varying delay. By using a new Lyapunov functional and the convex combination method, a new delay-dependent stability criterion is established. Some redundant variable matrices are removed in the new conditions, which makes the obtained results more efficient. Then, an iterative algorithm based on the cone complementarity Linearization method is proposed to obtain the delay-dependent robust H-infinity controller. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
