LMI Consensus Condition for Discrete-time Multi-agent Systems

This paper examines a consensus problem in multiagent discrete-time systems, where each agent can exchange information only from its neighbor agents. A decentralized protocol is designed for each agent to steer all agents to the same vector. The design condition is expressed in the form of a linear matrix inequality. Finally, a simulation example is presented and a comparison is made to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed methodology.

Dynamic Consensus of High-order Multi-agent Systems and Its Application in the Motion Control of Multiple Mobile Robots

In this paper, the leader-following consensus problem for multi-agent linear dynamic systems is considered. All agents and leader have identical multi-input multi-output （MIMO） linear dynamics that can be of any order, and only the output information of each agent is delivered throughout the communication network. When the interaction topology is fixed, the leader-following consensus is attained by Ho~ dynamic output feedback control, and the sufficient condition of robust controllers is equal to the solvability of linear matrix inequality （LMI）. The whole analysis is based on spectral decomposition and an equivalent decoupled structure achieved, and the stability of the system is proved. Finally, we extended the theoretical results to the case that the interaction topology is switching. The simulation results for multiple mobile robots show the effectiveness of the devised methods.

Average Consensus in Networks of Multi-Agent with Multiple Time-Varying Delays

The average consensus in undirected networks of multi-agent with both fixed and switching topology coupling multiple time-varying delays is studied. By using orthogonal transformation techniques, the original system can be turned into a reduced dimensional system and then LMI-based method can be applied conveniently. Convergence analysis is conducted by constructing Lyapunov-Krasovskii function. Sufficient conditions on average consensus problem with multiple time-varying delays in undirected networks are obtained via linear matrix inequality (LMI) techniques. In particular, the maximal admissible upper bound of time-varying delays can be easily obtained by solving several simple and feasible LMIs. Finally, simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.

Robust Leader-Following Output Regulation of Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems With Time-Varying Delay

In this paper, the robust analysis and design of leader-following output regulation for multi-agent systems described by general linear models is given in presence of timevarying delay and model uncertainty. To this aim, a new regulation protocol for the closed-loop multi-agent system under a directed graph is proposed. An important specification of the proposed protocol is to guarantee the leader-following output regulation for uncertain multi-agent systems with both stable and unstable agents. Since many signals can be approximated by a combination of the stationary and ramp signals, the presented results work for adequate variety of the leaders. The analysis and design conditions are presented in terms of certain matrix inequalities. The method proposed can be used for both stationary and ramp leaders. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Mean square consensus of uncertain discrete-time stochastic multi-agent systems with x-dependent noise

In this paper, the mean square consensus control problem is investigated for linear uncertain discrete-time multi-agent systems withx-dependent noise and time-varying delays. Under undirected connected topology, the robust consensus problem of multi-agent systems is converted into the robust stabilisation problem for thediscrete-time stochastic systems. By utilising Lyapunov functionaland the linear matrix inequality method, some new sufficient conditions are derived to guarantee the consensus of uncertain discretetime stochastic multi-agent systems. Based on the state feedbackcontroller protocol with time-varying delays, a new consensus criterion is established for the discrete-time stochastic multi-agent systems with parameter uncertainties. Finally, numerical examples areprovided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.

Synchronization of nonlinear multi-agent systems using a non-fragile sampled data control approach and its application to circuit systems

The main aim of this work is to design a non-fragile sampled data control(NFSDC) scheme for the asymptotic synchronization criteria for interconnected coupled circuit systems(multi-agent systems, MASs). NFSDC is used to conduct synchronization analysis of the considered MASs in the presence of time-varying delays. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, sufficient conditions are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs) to ensure synchronization between the MAS leader and follower systems. Finally, two numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme and less conservation of the proposed Lyapunov functions.

A New Sliding Function for Discrete Predictive Sliding Mode Control of Time Delay Systems

The control of time delay systems is still an open area for research. This paper proposes an enhanced model predictive discrete-time sliding mode control with a new sliding function for a linear system with state delay. Firstly, a new sliding function including a present value and a past value of the state, called dynamic surface, is designed by means of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）. Then, using this dynamic function and the rolling optimization method in the predictive control strategy, a discrete predictive sliding mode controller is synthesized. This new strategy is proposed to eliminate the undesirable effect of the delay term in the closed loop system. Also, the designed control strategy is more robust, and has a chattering reduction property and a faster convergence of the system s state. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control.

Delay and Its Time-derivative Dependent Robust Stability of Uncertain Neutral Systems with Saturating Actuators

This note concerns the problem of the robust stability of uncertain neutral systems with time-varying delay and saturating actuators. The system considered is continuous in time with norm bounded parametric uncertainties. By incorporating the free weighing matrix approach developed recently, some new delay-dependent stability conditions in terms of linear matrix inequalities （LMIs） with some tuning parameters are obtained. An estimate of the domain of attraction of the closed-loop system under a priori designed controller is proposed. The approach is based on a polytopic description of the actuator saturation nonlinearities and the Lyapunov- Krasovskii method. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.

Robust Finite-Time Guaranteed Cost Control for Positive Systems with Multiple Time Delays

This paper deals with the finite-time guaranteed cost control problem for positive system with multiple time delays and bounded disturbance. By using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method,some new sufficient conditions for the design of a state feedback controller which makes the closedloop system finite-time stable and guarantees an adequate cost level of performance are derived. Two numerical examples are also given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust passive control for discrete-time T-S fuzzy systems with delays

This article deals with the robust stability analysis and passivity of uncertain discrete-time Takagi- Sugeno （T-S） fuzzy systems with time delays. The T-S fuzzy model with parametric uncertainties can approximate nonlinear uncertain systems at any precision. A sufficient condition on the existence of robust passive controller is established based on the Lyapunov stability theory. With the help of linear matrix inequality （LMI） method, robust passive controllers are designed so that the closed-loop system is robust stable and strictly passive. Furthermore, a convex optimization problem with LMI constraints is formulated to design robust passive controllers with the maximum dissipation rate. A numerical example illustrates the validity of the proposed method.

Observer-based robust stabilization for uncertain systems with unknown time-varying delay

This paper focuses on the problem of robust stabilization for a class of linear systems with uncertain parameters and time varying delays in states. The parameter uncertainty is continuous, time varying, and norm-bounded. The state delay is unknown and time varying. The states of the system are not all measurable and an observer is constructed to estimate the states. If a linear matrix inequality (LMI) is solvable, the gains of the controller and observer can be obtained from the solution of the LMI. The observer and controller are dependent on the size of time delay and on the size of delay derivative. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.

PASSIVE CONTROL FOR A CLASS OF UNCERTAIN TIME-DELAY SYSTEMS

This paper focuses on the passive control for a class of linear time delay system with norm bounded time varying parameter uncertainties by using a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach. A sufficient condition under which the uncertain time delay system is quadratically stable and strictly passive for all admissible uncertainties was derived. It is shown that the solvability of problem of the robust passive controller design is implied by the feasibility of a linear matrix inequality.

On passivity of state delayed stochastic jump systems

Based on the definition of passivity extended from deterministic system, the sufficient condition on passivity of stochastic jump system is given against unknown state time delay. By means of memoryless state feedback, a class of state delayed stochastic jump systems may be led to passive. The feedback controllers are mode-dependent and can be constructed in terms of the solutions of a set of coupled linear matrix inequalities. A numerical example illustrates the results.

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.

Leader-following synchronization of a multi-agent system with heterogeneous delays

An algorithm is presen ted for leader-following synchronization of a multi-agen t system composed of linear agents with time delay.The presence of different delays in various agents can cause a synchronization error that does not converge to zero.However,the norm of this error can be bounded and this boundary is presen ted.The proof of the main results is formulated by means of linear matrix inequalities,and the size of this problem is independent of the number of agents.Results are illustrated through examples,highlighting the fact that the steady error is caused by heterogeneous delays and demonstrating the capability of the proposed algorithm to achieve synchronization up to a certain error.
