Delay-dependent exponential stability criteria for stochastic systems with polytopic-type uncertainties

This paper considers the problem of delay-dependent exponential stability in mean square for stochastic systems with polytopic-type uncertainties and time-varying delay. Applying the descriptor model transformation and introducing free weighting matrices, a new type of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is constructed based on linear matrix inequalities （LMIs）, and some new delay-dependent criteria are obtained. These criteria include the delay-independent/rate- dependent and delay-dependent/rate-independent exponential stability criteria. These new criteria are less conservative than existing ones. Numerical examples demonstrate that these new criteria are effective and are an improvement over existing ones.

ON EXPONENTIAL STABILITY OF NON-AUTONOMOUS STOCHASTIC SEMILINEAR EVOLUTION EQUATIONS

Sufficient conditions for the exponential stability of a class of nonlinear, non-autonomous stochastic differential equations in infinite dimensions are studied. The analysis consists of introducing a suitable approximating solution systems and usig a limiting argument to pass on stability of strong solutions to mild ones. Consequently, under these conditions the random attractors of given stochastic systems are reduced to zero with exponential decay. Lastly, two examples are investigated to illustrate the theory.

Stability and output feedback stabilization for systems with Markovian switching and impulse effects

We investigate the exponential stability in the mean square sense for the systems with Markovian switching and impulse effects.Based on the statistic property of the Markov process,a stability criterion is established.Then,by the parameterizations via a family of auxiliary matrices,the dynamical output feedback controller can be solved via an LMI approach,which makes the closed-loop system exponentially stable.A numerical example is given to demonstrate the method.

Radiation-induced attenuation self-compensating effect in super-fluorescent fiber source

The compact super-fluorescent fiber source （SFS） output spectra variations at different pump currents and under different dose of gamma-ray radiation were measured and compared respectively. The radiation-induced attenuation （RIA） self-compensating effect in SFS based on photo-bleaching was found and the general mathematic model of SFS output spectra variations was made. The radiation-induced background attenuation （RIBA） at the pump wavelength was identified to be the main cause of the total output power and spectra variations and the variations can then be compensated by active control of the pump power to enhance the self-compensating effect. With closed-loop feedback control of pump current, double-pass backward （DPB） configuration and spectrum re-shaping technology, an SFS prototype was made and tested. The mean-wavelength stability of about 87.4 ppm and output power instability of less than 5% were achieved under up to 200 krad （Si） gamma-ray irradiation.

Experimental Research on Erbium-doped Superfluorescent Fiber Source

The effects of the variations in fiber length,fiber mirror reflectance on efficiency and output power are experimentally investigated for erbium-doped double pass backward superfluorescent fiber sources (SFSs).The influence of fiber length on mean wavelength stability (MWS) has also been demonstrated.By incorporating a short section of un-pumped erbium-doped fiber (EDF) at the output port,the pump power dependent on MWS becomes independent of pumped EDF length.This is a novel phenomenon that hasn’t been reported up to now,and should be helpful to SFS fabrication and theory analysis.By using a fiber Michelson interferometer as spectrum slicing component,a multi-wavelength fiber source (MWFS) with ～20 channels (from 1 542 nm to 1 559 nm) is got.The MWFS has a channel spacing of ～0.8 nm which satisfies ITU-standard.The intensity fluctuation among channels is less than 0.5 dB,and the extinction ratio of all channels is above 14 dB.This kind of MWFS should be useful to wavelength division multiplexing systems.

Numerical Analysis of Balanced Methods for the Impulsive Stochastic Differential Equations

Positive results are proved here about the ability of balanced methods to reproduce the mean square stability of the impulsive stochastic differential equations. It is shown that the balanced methods with strong convergence can preserve the mean square stability with the sufficiently small stepsize. Weak variants and their mean square stability are also considered. Several numerical experiments are given for illustration and show that the fully implicit methods are superior to those of the explicit methods in terms of mean-square stabilities for relatively large stepsizes especially.

INFLUENCE OF NOISE AND DELAY ON REACTION-DIFFUSION RECURRENT NEURAL NETWORKS

In this paper, the influence of the noise and delay upon the stability property of reaction-diffusion recurrent neural networks （RNNs） with the time-varying delay is discussed. The new and easily verifiable conditions to guarantee the mean value exponential stability of an equilibrium solution are derived. The rate of exponential convergence can be estimated by means of a simple computation based on these criteria.

Receding horizon H_∞ control for discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems

Receding horizon H∞ control scheme which can deal with both the H∞ disturbance attenuation and mean square stability is proposed for a class of discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems when minimizing a given quadratic performance criteria. First, a control law is established for jump systems based on pontryagin’s minimum principle and it can be constructed through numerical solution of iterative equations. The aim of this control strategy is to obtain an optimal control which can minimize the cost function under the worst disturbance at every sampling time. Due to the difficulty of the assurance of stability, then the above mentioned approach is improved by determining terminal weighting matrix which satisfies cost monotonicity condition. The control move which is calculated by using this type of terminal weighting matrix as boundary condition naturally guarantees the mean square stability of the closed-loop system. A sufficient condition for the existence of the terminal weighting matrix is presented in linear matrix inequality （LMI） form which can be solved efficiently by available software toolbox. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.

For the uncertain stochastic systems, we havedesigned an optimal controller which guarantees the exponential stability of the system. Actually,we employed Lyapunov function approach and the stochastic algebraic Riccati equation (SARE) to haveshown the robustness of the linear quadratic(LQ) optimal control law. And the algebraic criteria forthe exponential stability on the linear stochastic uncertain closed-loop systems are given.

This paper researches the strict dissipative control problem for uncertain fuzzy neutral Markov jump systems by Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy rules.The asynchronous phenomenon is considered between the uncertain fuzzy neutral Markov jump systems modes and asynchronous fuzzy P-D feedback controller modes,which is described by a hidden Markov model.Via using linear matrix inequalities,the desired asynchronous fuzzy P-D feedback controller is obtained,which can ensure that the closed-loop uncertain fuzzy neutral Markov jump systems satisfies robustly exponential mean square stabilization with strict dissipativity.A numerical example and a single-link robot arm are utilized to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.

EXPONENTIAL STABILITY FOR A CLASS OF SWITCHED STOCHASTIC SYSTEMS

Stabilization of stochastic Hopfield neural network with distributed parameters

In this paper, the stability of stochastic Hopfield neural network with distributed parameters is studied. To discuss the stability of systems, the main idea is to integrate the solution to systems in the space variable. Then, the integration is considered as the solution process of corresponding neural networks described by stochastic ordinary differential equations. A Lyapunov function is constructed and Ito formula is employed to compute the derivative of the mean Lyapunov function along the systems, with respect to the space variable. It is difficult to treat stochastic systems with distributed parameters since there is no corresponding Ito formula for this kind of system. Our method can overcome this difficulty. Till now, the research of stability and stabilization of stochastic neural networks with distributed parameters has not been considered.

Markov branching processes with immigration-migration and resurrection

We consider a modified Markov branching process incorporating with both state-independent immigration-migration and resurrection. The effect of state-independent immigration-migration is firstly in- vestigated in detail. The explicit expressions for the extinction probabilities and mean extinction times are presented. The ergodicity and stability properties of the process incorporating with resurrection structure are then investigated. The conditions for recurrence, ergodicity and exponential ergodicity are obtained. An explicit expression for the equilibrium distribution is also presented. As a preparation, the criteria for regularity and uniqueness for such structure are firstly established.
