Stability analysis and controller synthesis for discrete linear time-delay systems with state saturation nonlinearities

The problem of global asymptotic stability analysis and controller synthesis for a class of discrete linear time-delay systems with state saturation nonlinearities is investigated. With the introduction of a free matrix whose infinity norm is less than or equal to 1, the state of discrete linear time-delay systems with state saturation is bounded by a convex hull, which makes it feasible to apply a suitable Lyapunov functional to obtain a sufficient condition for global asymptotic stability. It is also shown that this condition can be extended to controller synthesis and discrete time-delay systems with partial state saturation. The obtained results are expressed in terms of matrix inequalities that can be solved by the presented iterative linear matrix inequality approach. The effectiveness of these results is demonstrated by some numerical examples.     

Robust stabilization of switched discrete-time systems with actuator saturation

This paper studies the robust stabilization problem of switched discrete-time linear systems subject to actuator saturation. New switched saturation-dependent Lyapunov functions are exploited to design a robust stabilizing state feedback controller that maximizes an estimation of the domain of attraction. The design problem of controller （coefficient matrices） is then reduced to an optimization problem with linear matrix inequality （LMI） constraints. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Stability analysis of discrete-time systems with actuator saturation by a saturation-dependent Lyapunov function

In this paper, stability of discrete-time linear systems subject to actuator saturation is analyzed using a saturation-dependent Lyapunov function. This saturation-dependent Lyapunov function captures the real-time information on the severity of actuator saturation and leads to less conservative estimate of the domain of attraction, which is based on the solution of an LMI optimization problem. Numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Switching control of linear systems subject to asymmetric actuator saturation

In this paper, we study the saturation control problem for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems subject to asymmetric actuator saturation under a switching control framework. The LTI plant with asymmetric saturation is first transformed to an equivalent switched linear model with each subsystem subject to symmetric actuator saturation, based on which a dwell-time switching controller augmented with a controller state reset is then developed by using multiple Lyapunov functions. The controller synthesis conditions are formulated as linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which can be solved efficiently. Simulation results are also included to illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed approach.     

Controller design for stochastic Markovian switching systems with time-varying delay and actuator saturation

The paper deals with controller design for stochastic Markovian switching systems with time-varying delay and actuator saturation by implying a new criterion for the domain of attraction firstly. By constructing more appropriate Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, some new conditions for verifying stochastic stability of the plant are established. Then, the state feedback controller is designed to expand the domain of attraction of the corresponding closed-loop system. The procedure of deriving controller gain matrices is converted into an optimisation problem with constraints of a set of linear matrix inequalities. The mathematical model of RLC series circuit illustrates the validity of the obtained results.

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.     

Observer‐Based Reliable Control for Discrete‐Time Switched Linear Systems with Faulty Actuators

This paper deals with the issue of reliable control for discrete‐time switched linear systems with faulty actuators by utilizing a multiple Lyapunov functions method and estimate state‐dependent switching technique. A solvability condition for the reliable control problem is given in terms of matrix inequality with an extra matrix variable. This condition allows the reliable control problem for each individual subsystem to be unsolvable. For each subsystem of such a switched system, we design an observer and an observer‐based controller. A switching rule depending on the observer state is designed which, together with the controllers, can guarantee the stability of the closed‐loop switched system for all admissible actuator failures. The observers, controllers, and switching law are explicitly computed by solving linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The proposed design method is illustrated by two numerical examples.

Gain-scheduled control of time-varying delay systems with input constraint

This paper investigates gain-scheduled control design for linear systems with time-varying state delays subject to actuator saturation and external disturbance. Assuming the disturbance is peak bounded, a sufficient delay-dependent condition is established to guarantee that a family of level sets, corresponding to a novel parameter-dependent Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, are nested and invariant to the closed-loop system. The invariant sets are then used to obtain nested reachable sets (ellipsoids) to bound the closed-loop states. A family of continuous controllers are designed based on these nested ellipsoids. The controller with the best performance is selected, each time, based on the closed-loop state vector, while complying with the saturation bound, and the resulting closed-loop system is locally input-to-state stable. All conditions are represented in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) by the linear spline method. Finally, the benefit of the control method is illustrated by two examples.

Improved stability and H∞ performance criteria for linear systems with interval time-varying delays via three terms approximation

This paper investigates the problem of delay dependent stability and H_∞ performance for a class of linear systems with interval time-varying delay. A new model transformation is first proposed by employing a three-terms approximation of delayed state variables, for a better approximation of delayed state. By using scaled small gain theorem and a simple Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional, new stability and H_∞ performance criteria are proposed in terms of linear matrix inequalities, which can be easily solved by using standard numerical packages. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Packet‐Loss‐Dependent Stabilization of Model‐Based Networked Control Systems

In this paper, the stabilization problem and controller design of model‐based networked control systems (MB‐NCSs) with both arbitrary and Markovian packet dropouts are discussed via the switched system approach. Different from the common way of using the last successfully transmitted information, the approximate state produced by the explicit plant model is applied to deal with the packet loss problem in our method. Based on the Lyapunov functional methodology and inequality techniques, some sufficient stabilization conditions are derived and stabilizing state feedback controllers are constructed. Moreover, by using the cone complementary linearation (CCL) method, a non‐linear minimization problem subject to some linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) is provided here to help find a sub‐optimal solution. Numerical examples and accompanying simulations illustrate the effectiveness and validity of our techniques, and also evidence of improvements over the existing literature.     

New results on robust H ∞ filtering design for discrete-time piecewise linear delay systems

This paper revisits the problem of robust H _∞ filtering design for a class of discrete-time piecewise linear state-delayed systems. The state delay is assumed to be time-varying and of an interval-like type, which means that both the lower and upper bounds of the time-varying delay are available. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to have a structured linear fractional form. Based on a novel delay-dependent piecewise Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional combined with Finsler's Lemma, a new delay-dependent sufficient condition for robust H _∞ performance analysis is first derived and then the filter synthesis is developed. It is shown that by using a new linearisation technique, a unified framework can be developed so that both the full-order and reduced-order filters can be obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which are numerically efficient with commercially available software. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness and less conservatism of the proposed approach.
