Indirect adaptive fuzzy control for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems

An indirect adaptive fuzzy control scheme is developed for a class of nonlinear discrete-time systems. In this method, two fuzzy logic systems are used to approximate the unknown functions, and the parameters of membership functions in fuzzy logic systems are adjusted according to adaptive laws for the purpose of controlling the plant to track a reference trajectory. It is proved that the scheme can not only guarantee the boundedness of the input and output of the closed-loop system, but also make the tracking error converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation results indicate the effectiveness of this scheme.

Stability Criterion with Less LMI Variables for Linear Discrete-time Systems with Additive Time-delays

In this correspondence paper, an equivalent stability criterion with minimal number of linear matrix inequality （LMI） variables is presented for a delay-dependent stability criterion reported recently in the International Journal of Automation and Computing for a class of linear discrete-time systems with additive time delays. The reported stability criterion for the additive timedelay systems has more number of matrix variables in the LMI and, hence, demand additional computational burden. The proposed equivalent stability criterion, unlike the reported one, does not involve free-weighing matrices and encompass only the matrix variables that are associated in the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional, making the criterion mathematically less complex and computationally more effective.

Stability analysis for linear discrete-time systems subject to actuator saturation

In this paper, stability of discrete-time linear systems subject to actuator saturation is analyzed by combining the saturation-dependent Lyapunov function method with Finsler’s lemma. New stability test conditions are proposed in the enlarged space containing both the state and its time difference which allow extra degree of freedom and lead to less conservative estimation of the domain of attraction. Furthermore, based on this result, a useful lemma and an iterative LMI-based optimization algorithm are also developed to maximize an estimation of domain of attraction. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

On Asymptotic Stabilization of Linear Discrete-time Systems with Saturated State Feedback

As saturation is involved in the stabilizing feedback control of a linear discrete-time system, the original global-asymptotic stabilization (GAS) may drop to region-asymptotic stabilization (RAS). How to test if the saturated feedback system is GAS or RAS? The paper presents a criterion to answer this question, and describes an algorithm to calculate an invariant attractive ellipsoid for the RAS case. At last, the effectiveness of the approach is shown with examples.

Event-Triggered Finite-Time H∞ Filtering for Discrete-Time Nonlinear Stochastic Systems

This paper addresses the problem of event-triggered finite-time H∞ filter design for a class of discrete-time nonlinear stochastic systems with exogenous disturbances. The stochastic Lyapunov-Krasoviskii functional method is adopted to design a filter such that the filtering error system is stochastic finite-time stable (SFTS) and preserves a prescribed performance level according to the pre-defined event-triggered criteria. Based on stochastic differential equations theory, some sufficient conditions for the existence of H∞ filter are obtained for the suggested system by employing linear matrix inequality technique. Finally, the desired H∞ filter gain matrices can be expressed in an explicit form.

Deterministic and Stochastic Fixed-Time Stability of Discrete-time Autonomous Systems

This paper studies deterministic and stochastic fixedtime stability of autonomous nonlinear discrete-time(DT)systems.Lyapunov conditions are first presented under which the fixed-time stability of deterministic DT systems is certified.Extensions to systems under deterministic perturbations as well as stochastic noise are then considered.For the former,sensitivity to perturbations for fixed-time stable DT systems is analyzed,and it is shown that fixed-time attractiveness results from the presented Lyapunov conditions.For the latter,sufficient Lyapunov conditions for fixed-time stability in probability of nonlinear stochastic DT systems are presented.The fixed upper bound of the settling-time function is derived for both fixed-time stable and fixed-time attractive systems,and a stochastic settling-time function fixed upper bound is derived for stochastic DT systems.Illustrative examples are given along with simulation results to verify the introduced results.

The example shows that the new bounds are easy to compute numerically and canhave an arbitrary degree of improvement over the Previous ones reported by the Lyapunov stabilitymethod.

Robust H_∞ control for discrete-time polytopic uncertain systems with linear fractional vertices

The robust H∞ control problem for discrete-time uncertain systems is investigated in this paper. The uncertain systems are modelled as a polytopic type with linear fractional uncertainty in the vertices. A new linear matrix inequality (LMI) characterization of the H∞ performance for discrete systems is given by introducing a matrix slack variable which decouples the matrix of a Lyapunov function candidate and the parametric matrices of the system. This feature enables one to derive sufficient conditions for discrete uncertain systems by using parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions with less conservativeness. Based on the result, H∞ performance analysis and controller design are carried out. A numerical example is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Online optimal control of nonlinear discrete-time systems using approximate dynamic programming

In this paper,the optimal control of a class of general affine nonlinear discrete-time(DT) systems is undertaken by solving the Hamilton Jacobi-Bellman(HJB) equation online and forward in time.The proposed approach,referred normally as adaptive or approximate dynamic programming(ADP),uses online approximators(OLAs) to solve the infinite horizon optimal regulation and tracking control problems for affine nonlinear DT systems in the presence of unknown internal dynamics.Both the regulation and tracking controllers are designed using OLAs to obtain the optimal feedback control signal and its associated cost function.Additionally,the tracking controller design entails a feedforward portion that is derived and approximated using an additional OLA for steady state conditions.Novel update laws for tuning the unknown parameters of the OLAs online are derived.Lyapunov techniques are used to show that all signals are uniformly ultimately bounded and that the approximated control signals approach the optimal control inputs with small bounded error.In the absence of OLA reconstruction errors,an optimal control is demonstrated.Simulation results verify that all OLA parameter estimates remain bounded,and the proposed OLA-based optimal control scheme tunes itself to reduce the cost HJB equation.

A Contractive Sliding-mode MPC Algorithm for Nonlinear Discrete-time Systems

This paper investigates a sliding-mode model predictive control （MPC） algorithm with auxiliary contractive sliding vector constraint for constrained nonlinear discrete-time systems. By adding contractive constraint into the optimization problem in regular sliding-mode MPC algorithm, the value of the sliding vector is decreased to zero asymptotically, which means that the system state is driven into a vicinity of sliding surface with a certain width. Then, the system state moves along the sliding surface to the equilibrium point within the vicinity. By applying the proposed algorithm, the stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed. A numerical example of a continuous stirred tank reactor （CSTR） system is given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust Sliding Mode Control for Nonlinear Discrete-Time Delayed Systems Based on Neural Network

This paper presents a robust sliding mode controller for a class of unknown nonlinear discrete-time systems in the presence of fixed time delay. A neural-network approximation and the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory into the sliding-mode technique is used and a neural-network based sliding mode control scheme is proposed. Because of the novality of Chebyshev Neural Networks (CNNs), that it requires much less computation time as compare to multi layer neural network (MLNN), is preferred to approximate the unknown system functions. By means of linear matrix inequalities, a sufficient condition is derived to ensure the asymptotic stability such that the sliding mode dynamics is restricted to the defined sliding surface. The proposed sliding mode control technique guarantees the system state trajectory to the designed sliding surface. Finally, simulation results illustrate the main characteristics and performance of the proposed approach.

The robust reliable H∞ control problem for discrete-time Markovian jump systems with actuator failures is studied. A more practical model of actuator failures than outage is considered. Based on the state feedback method, the resulting closed-loop systems are reliable in that they remain robust stochastically stable and satisfy a certain level of H∞ disturbance attenuation not only when all actuators are operational, but also in case of some actuator failures, The solvability condition of controllers can be equivalent to a feasibility problem of coupled linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. A numerical example is also given to illustrate the design procedures and their effectiveness.

Design of an Optimal Preview Controller for Dual-Rate Linear Discrete-Time Systems

A dual-rate preview control strategy for a type of discrete-time system is proposed based on the theory of multirate control. First, by using the discrete lifting technique, the general dual-rate discrete-time system is converted into a single-rate augmented system. On this basis, the augmented error system is constructed by introducing a first-order difference operator and the previewable reference signal. Then the tracking problem is transformed into a regulator problem of the augmented error system. The optimal preview control law of the augmented error system is obtained by using standard linear quadratic optimal preview control theory, and then the optimal preview controller of the original system is derived. In addition, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the controller are given.Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Reduced-Order Observer-Based Leader-Following Formation Control for Discrete-Time Linear Multi-Agent Systems

Formation control of discrete-time linear multi-agent systems using directed switching topology is considered in this work via a reduced-order observer, in which a formation control protocol is proposed under the assumption that each directed communication topology has a directed spanning tree. By utilizing the relative outputs of neighboring agents, a reduced-order observer is designed for each following agent. A multi-step control algorithm is established based on the Lyapunov method and the modified discrete-time algebraic Riccati equation. A sufficient condition is given to ensure that the discrete-time linear multi-agent system can achieve the expected leader-following formation.Finally, numerical examples are provided so as to demonstrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

State and Mode Feedback Control for Discrete-time Markovian Jump Linear Systems With Controllable MTPM

In this note, the state and mode feedback control problems for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems(MJLSs) with controllable mode transition probability matrix(MTPM) are investigated. In most achievements, controller design of MJLSs pays more attention to state/output feedback control for stability, while the system cost in practice is out of consideration. In this paper, we propose a control mechanism consisting of two parts: finite-path-dependent state feedback controller design with which uniform stability of MJLSs can be ensured, and mode feedback control which aims to decrease system cost. Differing from the traditional state/output feedback controller design, the main novelty is that the proposed control mechanism not only guarantees system stability, but also decreases system cost effectively by adjusting the occurrence probability of system modes. The effectiveness of the proposed mechanism is illustrated via numerical examples.

With the aid of an operator optimization method, it is shown that a mode-dependent unified optimal solution can be derived by solving a coupled Riccati equation. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
