This paper gives a mathematical definition for the "caution" and "probing", and presents a decomposition theorem for nonlinear discrete-time stochastic systems. Under some assumptions, the problem of finding the closed-loop optimal control can be decomposed into three problems: the deterministic optimal feedback, cautious optimal and probing optimal control problems.

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.

This study is concerned with the problem of finite-time H∞ filter design for uncertain discrete-time Markov Jump stochastic systems. Our attention is focused on the design of mode-dependent H∞ filter to ensure the finite-time stability of the filtering error system and preserve a prescribed H∞ performance level for all admissible uncertainties. Sufficient conditions of filtering design for the system under consideration are developed and the corresponding filter parameters can be achieved in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the validity of the proposed method.

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.

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.

On stabilization for a class of nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems:a matrix inequality approach

This paper treats the feedback stabilization of nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems with state and control-dependent noise. Some locally （globally） robustly stabilizable conditions are given in terms of matrix inequalities that are independent of the delay size. When it is applied to linear stochastic time-delay systems, sufficient conditions for the state-feedback stabilization are presented via linear matrix inequalities. Several previous results are extended to more general systems with both state and control-dependent noise, and easy computation algorithms are also given.

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.

Finally, a relevant example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Moreover, sufficient conditions are presented for the existence of a finite-time H∞ filter for the stochastic system under consideration by employing the linear matrix inequality technique. Finally, the explicit expression of the desired filter parameters is given.

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.

Stochastic resonance in a bias linear system with multiplicative and additive noise

In this paper, the stochastic resonance in a bias linear system subjected multiplicative and additive dichotomous noise is investigated. Using the linear-response theory and the properties of the dichotomous noise, this paper finds the exact expressions for the first two moments and the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR）. It is shown that the SNR is a non-monotonic function of the correlation time of the multiplicative and additive noise, and it varies non-monotonously with the intensity and asymmetry of the multiplicative noise as well as the external field frequency. Moreover, the SNR depends on the system bias, the intensity of the cross noise between the multiplicative and additive noise, and the strength and asymmetry of the additive noise.
